Molly Abraham, Detroit News Restaurant Critic: Smart and contemporary, this airy spot in the former Madison Theatre offers an Italian-inspired, up-to-date menu as well as an interesting wine list. The bar is almost as large as the dining room, and both are backed up by a gleaming open kitchen. Dishes include house-cured meats and house-smoked fish among the tasting plates, and such main dishes as shrimp risotta, pappardelle Bolognese and roasted squash ravioli. The big windows offer a view of Grand Circus Park and the Detroit Opera House. Angelina, just past its third anniversary, has steadily improved.

The marquee at the old Madison Theatre hasn't lit up again, but what's happening inside the building on Grand Circus Park adds true luster to downtown Detroit. (Full review)
