Dante Boccuzzi to Open Italian Restaurant in Former Goma Space Downtown (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Five years after opening his Japanese restaurant Goma, Dante Boccuzzi decided that it was time for a change.

Luxe Kitchen in Detroit Shoreway Has Closed (opens the original)
Read excerpt

Read excerpt
Just last week we learned that Hot Dog Diner (5494 Pearl Rd.) in Parma was relocating from its current home to a smaller space down the road.
