50 YEARS OF AUTHENTIC ITALIAN

Rugiero family restaurant

You know you are about to experience some incredible eats for your palate when one of the first things you see at a restaurant is a woman inside a small “pasta factory” hand making the noodles you are about to eat. That is part of what makes the Rugiero family’s restaurants noteworthy, but so does their bread, pizza & the finished product the noodles create. We frequent the Farmington Hills location and I am a creature of habit when I go there. I always, no matter what, order the Mostaccioli Casseruola (no meat to make it vegetarian). I honestly burn my tongue off each time because I can’t wait to dive into that bubbly, cheesy dish. Each time, I leave with a carryout box stuffed with leftovers and a few pieces of that incredible bread for the next day.

Antonio’s Cucina Italiana has three locations:

37646 W. 12 Mile Road Farmington Hills, MI
2220 N. Canton Road Canton, MI
26356 Ford Road Dearborn Heights, MI
The family has another location called Roman Village Cucina Italiana
