yes, you are thinking of northville. the restaurant you are thinking of is just off the main street in northville in an old home. it was called Elizabeth's when i was very young (i am in college now). now it is "Little Italy". it is still the best dining experience in the area (not counting ann arbor of course). i had dinner there when i was home over christmas vacation and was impressed again. the atmosphere is wonderful, the wine list incredible, and the food delicious. i would recommend it as one of the better restaurants in all the midwest.

Good but definitely not the best outside of Detroit. Golden Mushroom, The Lark leave all the others in the dust.

Try the City Grill in Birmingham -- it's the renovated Machus restaurant on Hunter.
