The culinary landscape of Royal Oak has welcomed a new Italian restaurant, Bella Limone, situated at the prime location of 100 S. Main St., previously occupied by Pinky's rooftop lounge. According to ClickOnDetroit, this new establishment opened its doors with a redesign that features an open-air feel and a garden setting, aiming to infuse the space with an inviting Amalfi Coast atmosphere. Adam Merkel, the founder of Royal Oak Good Times and the mind behind Bella Limone, seeks to offer a dining experience that melds Italian tradition with a touch of suburban sophistication.
Merkel's commitment to authenticity brought forth a menu that boasts homemade pasta dishes, Italian staples, and a signature homemade limoncello. The restaurant, already operational, aims to eventually diversify its offerings with the September opening of a banquet hall. Subsequently, Little Bella's Pizza and Wine Bar is slated to commence operations in October, promising a more casual Italian culinary adventure. As per dbusiness, Merkel expressed a heartfelt passion for Italian hospitality and culture, crystallized through every dish served and the meticulously crafted limoncello.
With the intention of drawing guests into the Mediterranean-inspired dining experience, Bella Limone has launched with a special promotion. Until September 30th, customers can enjoy a 50% discount on their food menu during the first hour of business daily, paired with deals on select Italian wines. The Detroit Free Press reports that the restaurant operates from Tuesday to Thursday between 4 and 9:30 p.m., extends to 10:30 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, and closes at 8:30 p.m. on Sundays. There's also the convenience of valet parking for guests.
