It was the 1930s and Six Mile and Conant was like any street corner in Detroit… people walking to the market, neighbors helping neighbors, and friends meeting at the local gathering spot now known as Buddy’s. Buddy’s existed as a “blind pig,” skirting the State and Federal laws that governed the on-site sale and usage of alcohol. Booze was available there. The owner at the time was August “Gus” Guerra.

The most pace was amazing, great atmosphere. The food was good but the service lacked a lot to be desired. I understand it was Christmas Eve but it was lacking. The server was nice and polite but we waited several minutes for drinks, drink refills and other things.

The NYC salad was delicious and large enough to split between the four of us to start. I love their Sausage and peppers app and order it as a meal with a side of pasta. Their portions are always generous and consider sharing or plan on to go bags afterwards. Service is always enjoyable and atmosphere very pleasant Italian! Love dining here!
