Taverna Tonelli Rustic Italian

Visiting town from Chicago. The staff at Shady Creek Winery recommended we try here for dinner and it was a win! Cute decor on the inside. They were understaffed but communicated that very clearly and the wait wasn't bad for service. Prices were reasonable and my friend swears that she had the best ribeye she's ever had. Great, friendly staff!

Myself, wife and a friend wanted to try this restaurant. We walked in and wow it looked wonderful. I was impressed, until we me the hostess who just so happened to be the owner. She had a permanent scowl on her face and was very rude to us. Well we got seated, but never saw a server for 15 to 20 minutes. Wow! We order some drinks and 15 minutes later we got them. Then the server disappeared for another 20 to 30 minutes. We actually had to go to the bar for another drink. The food was ok, but the service and the way we were treated was unacceptable. I would never go again nor would I ever recommend it to anyone.

Great atmosphere combined with good service and good eats. The red sauce will please some but not others. The restaurant is a little pricey.

This place is great from the hotess/owner to the waiter and the magnificent food. Don't miss it if you are in Michigan city.

Haven't eaten yet Got her at 7 it's 7:50 Just brought our drinks 7:50 Don't go if you're hungry.
