Erbelli’s Wins Top Local Awards

Nov 19

Posted by Jeff in Kalamazoo Restaurants, Pizza Restaurants | No Comments

ErbellisOnce again, Erbelli’s is one of the top award-winners in the annual Readers’ Choice Awards, which are presented by the Kalamazoo Gazette. Each year, local Kalamazoo area residents cast their vote to show which businesses are the best of the best in the area. After more than 7,000 votes were submitted, the awards were announced at the beginning of November. For the 2010 Readers’ Choice Awards, Erbelli’s swept the Dining category with an astonishing 6 awards, 4 of which were first place positions.

Erbelli’s award in the Best Pizza category comes as no surprise. The restaurant has earned awards in this category for years, including a spot in the 2000 Readers’ Choice Awards and five years running as the Best Gourmet Specialty Pizza at the Portage Pizza Fest. This year, however, they moved up to the number one spot to claim the top award for the entire area. Read the rest of this entry »

Fricano's of Alamo

Last night Aimee and I were debating about where to go for dinner. She was craving pizza, but I had pizza for lunch on Friday and was looking for something different. We made a compromise and chose an Italian restaurant that is pretty close to our home.

We decided to go to Fricano’s of Alamo. Even though Fricano’s has a Kalamazoo address, they are actually located in Alamo Township. Read the rest of this entry »

D'Nicio's Parlour

Today Aimee and I decided to try out a restaurant that we have driven past several times and were curious about. The restaurant is D’nicio’s Parlour on West Main Street in front of Menards.

D’nicio’s is a diner type atmosphere that also has a large ice cream parlour. The set up was nice and they captured the classic American Diner décor. It is basically an American diner/ ice cream parlor that focuses on Greek food. Read the rest of this entry »

Erbelli's

This past Saturday night Aimee and were both hungry for pizza. That means one thing for us, Erbelli’s Pizza. If you have never tried Erbelli’s then you are missing out. They are hands down the best pizza in Kalamazoo.

Erbelli’s has a location in Portage, and in Kalamazoo. We prefer going to the Kalamazoo location off of Stadium because it is closer to home and it is larger and more modern. They have recently remodeled and included a large bar that is really sharp looking. Read the rest of this entry »

Zooroona

Tonight for dinner we were craving something different. We were not hungry at all for the typical pizza or burgers and fries. Both Jeff and I really enjoy ethnic foods so we decided to try Kalamazoo’s newest Middle Eastern restaurant, Zooroona.

Zooroona in Arabic means ‘come visit us’-which explains the welcoming atmosphere and the fresh, authentic tasting food. Located on the end of the same plaza as the well known Tiffany’s beer and wine store, Zooroona opens the doors to an exciting dining experience. Jeff knows Saad Mandwee, the owner of Tiffany’s, through the natural and specialty food market in Kalamazoo. When we heard that Saad and his brothers opened an authentic Middle Eastern restaurant, we knew we had to visit. Read the rest of this entry »
