icatessen carry-out operations,
but you wouldn't know it from
the size. And everything is
homemade, tole slaw, potato
salad, chicken salad, tuna sal-
ad, egg salad and much more.

and pastrami, and the 7-day op-

TROY
Charley's Crab, 5498 Crooks
Rd., Troy, 879-2060. Its dining
room was once the beautiful
great room of an auto baron's
Grosse Pointe mansion, sheer
elegance, and the true concept
of Chuck Muer seafood cuisine
is highly exemplified here. But
don't think for a moment that
this is all, just seafood. Charley's
Crab's menu, although highly
fish oriented, also includes dish-
es to delight other palates.
Franco's Cafe, 3614 Rochester
Road, Troy, 528-0153. This is
another of those "sleeper' types
of Italian restaurants you hear
about, as authentic as its own-
er, Sicilian-born Franco Gior-
lando. Wife, Anna Maria, can
prepare most of the items Fran-
co makes but concentrates on
the restaurant's banquets and
party catering. His innovative
ways of cooking are also a rev-
elation, but authenticity is the
keyword of success for an Ital-
ian dining spot that has been
"discovered."

Troy, 689-2332. Enjoy unique

chard Lake Rd., Sugar Tree
Shopping Center, West Bloom-

en Phoenix had previously been
a long-time favorite on Maple

ing to this locale. Cantonese,
Szechuan and American food is

ry-out.
Mai Thai, 6635 Orchard Lake
Rd., Old Orchard Shopping Cen-

Pizzeria Uno, 6745 Orchard

Ristorante di Maria, 2080
Walnut Lake Road, West Bloom-
field, 851-2500. Although it
only seats around 50 people,
this many-times, jam-packed
Italian restaurant might be
called 'The Flagship" of the Va-
lente dining stable (La Suna
Grancaffe and Little Italy). It cer-
tainly is the oldest of the three,
starting out years back as just
a little carry-out pizza place and
developing into a very popular
Italian gourmet-style operation.
Wine is served and Ristorante
di Maria is open seven days a
week.
