Penne Lane Italian - Clinton Township

Will miss this place and their Italian fare. The end of an era 31Mar24.Best of luck on the new place, Octopus' Garden, on the river in Mt. Clemens.

Old world Italian vibe, reminiscent of Nonna’s dining room. Dark decor with spacious booth seating and generous wine pours. Decadent pizza with an amazing crust and scrumptious sauce. This eatery serves both northern and southern Italian cuisine. Entertainment on weekends, call ahead to inquire.

It okay. The lady who waited on us was sweet and kind. The food was not good but okay. I had the Marsala which was decent. It didn't taste fresh. The Penne noodles tasted like it had no seasoning at all. The marina tasted like it was canned. I went with a group of 4 and nobody was happy with their meal except 1 person who didn't eat the Alfredo because it tasted like jar food. We eat out all around Michigan trying out different locations. This place would not be my top spot for homemade Italian food.

This is such a lovely little place! The atmosphere of the restaurant is absolutely beautiful and I love seeing it every time I come in. I ate here last Thursday and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. I ordered the gnocchi with palomino sauce, and got the soup of the day as well. The portion size of the pasta was so big! I ate less than half of it and felt full.Everything I ate was delicious, and I plan to return soon. I also had an incredible experience with the wait staff! My server, Danielle, was so attentive and kind whenever she came around. I'm a bit awkward when dining, but she took it all with grace and was very encouraging.I don't think this is a normal occurrence, but as I was leaving the restaurant to go home Danielle stopped me and told me her chef was making me a cannoli for free. I was so touched I almost started crying. This restaurant has some truly wonderful people, and I hope to see it gain more notoriety.

Service was really exceptional, and the eggplant parmesan was great. Loved it.
