98 Kercheval Ave
Grosse Pointe Farms, MI 48236
This small room, which began as a coffeehouse and almost immediately segued into a full-fledged restaurant, quickly became a popular spot in Grosse Pointe. The room has an appealing energy and intimacy - with 38 seats around tables nestled close together. The well-prepared menu is the right length for a bite-size restaurant that includes eight appetizers, a half-dozen pasta dishes and five main plates, including notable favorite, tournedos di vitello, medallions of veal filet in a fresh mushroom sauce. Cafe Nini is named for Alicia (Nini) Barbieri, the third generation of the Da Edoardo restaurant family.

Bad service. Restaurant was freezing. Bread was excellent but our entrees were not. Portions shrunk and sky high prices. We have been going for 5 years and wont be back.
