on Citysearch Feb 15, 2009My wife and I went to Lelli's Inn on Valentine's Day. I called 6 days in advance for reservation at 8pm. When we got there at 7:15pm, the 6pm reservations were on a 2 hr wait, and so on. My wife and I were not sat until 10:35pm... (more)

on Citysearch May 09, 2008I?ve actually been to this place twice and it gets better every time. The pasta and ingredients are unbelievably fresh and prepared to order. I ordered the veal parmesan, which was sublime. My mother had the penne... (more)

on Citysearch May 06, 2008This is an excellent old restaurant. The service was wonderful and food was excellent. The Old World charm was a nice change of pace and felt intimate and quiet. The menu gives you plenty of options and even some... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 14, 2008I thought this was one of the worst dining experiences. We made a reservation for 8pm, arrived 5 minutes early and were told it would be at least 15 minutes. Ok. Then we were seated. It took a waiter 10 minutes to... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 15, 2007My experience at Lelli's was fantastic. I was seated at the time of my reservation in a spacious booth. My waitresses were pleasant and informative about the entrees available. Though it is an expensive meal, I felt... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 23, 2007You need to give every place a second chance, that?s what we thought. We went in the last 3 weeks twice. Big mistake. Twice into a disaster. Unfriendly staff, chairs with the springs / cushions on the floor. Not that... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 31, 2007Lellis USED to be our favorite place, now We wont go back. The food is great and well worth the price, but the service ruins the whole lellis experience. They used to have very professional servers waiting on you. Now I... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 27, 2007We went on a Saturday night. It was crowded, but we had a reservation for 7:30 and was seated within 15 minutes. Many people were there to have dinner before a program at the Palace, so they had to get out by a certain time,... (more)

on Citysearch May 07, 2006<b>In Short</b><br>Considering its size and crowds, Lelli's manages to be intimate and refined rather than impersonal and stuffy. Large leather banquettes line the walls, and a black-tied wait staff hustles to... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 13, 2006It has been several years since I had last been here when this great old time restaurant was located by the GM bldg. I was in Auburn Hills and entertained two friends from out of state. It had to be one of the worst... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 08, 2006The service was horrid, the filets should not have been cold and the wine should not have been warm. In fact, our server, Jason, offered to chill the wine for us. Unfortunately, our cold steaks arrived six minutes... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 25, 2005I was first introduced to Lellis in 1998 when it was located in Detroit. A fire destroyed that location in 2000. Now located in Auburn Hills, the BEST filets are served. We eat here on special occasions and bring our out... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 09, 2005Lelli's is one of my very favorite restaurants in Detroit. Although I have heard horror stories about poor service, I have never had bad service there (once I had to wait a few minutes for my bread and water), and it's... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 05, 2005This is a very popular lunch spot due to its proximity to DaimlerChrysler. However, unless you live in the area (or are entertaining the aforementioned on a limited time schedule), there are considerably better... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 15, 2003We made reservations for 7:15. When we arrived were told it would be half an hour despite the fact that we had reservations. We were seated 2 hours after our reservation time. The staff was overwhelmed so service... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 12, 2003I thought Lelli's Restaurant served me the best steak I have ever had from a restaurant. The zip sauce was great and the steak was cooked perfectly. The only real problem I saw with the place was that the owner should... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 12, 2003I have tried to top Lelli's cuisine since I first tried it 12 years ago and in all of my travels I haven't been able to find better quality, selection, or value. The only thing missing is downtown location and oysters.... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 07, 2002Nothing is better than the Filet and no one has a better filet anywhere. Remember to get some extra zip sauce on the side. The soup, salad, antipasto tray, pasta and desert are not only included, but worth the trip! It is... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 09, 2002This place has terrific things to offer. Great filet and zip sauce, super spaghetti if you like the brownish sauce (I love it), and an excellent thick minestrone soup course. If you order something from the main menu,... (more)
