LeIli's, 7618 Woodward Ave.,
Detroit, 871-1590. Since 1939,
LeIli's has been a Detroit dining
tradition, serving Italian fa-
vorites at their best. As years
before, it is again a 7-day-a-
week favorite, open Sundays
12 noon to 8 p.m. LeIli's has al-
ways been noted for its big
amounts of food, but it is with
the times in also offering a light
side menu which has become
so very popular.
