Angelo’s Fine Italian Plans to Embrace Classic Cuisine in Grosse Pointe
Two of Detroit's top Italian chefs—Jared Gadbaw (Oak & Reel) and Cory Barberio (Shinola Hotel)—are opening Angelo's Fine Italian in Grosse Pointe's Village district this fall. The restaurant will serve Italian American classics with refined technique, including house-made pastas, fresh baked clams, mortadella skewers, and roast chicken, with a focus on local sourcing and wine. The 155-seat space at 16844 Kercheval will feature a 15-seat bar and 40-seat private dining area downstairs.
Gadbaw previously spent nine years as chef at two-Michelin-starred Marea in New York before returning to his Garden City roots; Barberio worked under Robert De Niro's restaurant group before joining Detroit's food scene in 2018. The restaurant name honors Barberio's son Angelo while referencing the legendary Angelo's on Mulberry Street in New York's Little Italy.
