Fine Italian Dining in a Casual Atmosphere

SPOSITA’S

“They broke the mold when Danny
was made. He is truly a Metro
Detroit icon. He and I first met
shortly after I opened La Bistecca
Italian Grille. At first, I didn’t know
what a fantastic human being he
was, but after sitting with him at
dinner, it was clear he was a friend
to many and a straight shooter.
He tells it how it is! I respect that
most about him. If there was ever
something I could be doing better,
he would let me know. And trust me
when I say, you could take his advice
to the bank.”

“Danny is a great friend of Crispelli’s.
When we first opened, he did not
know what to expect. But he gave
us a chance and ended up loving
our concept. He was a big fan of our
quality food, prepared quickly. It is
incredible after all his years working
the restaurant business, how cur-
rent and on top of things he still is.
Thanks, Danny.”

“He’s a great person, smart, very
active and pleasant to deal with.
He’s incredible. Everybody loves him.
People who see him always want
to say, ‘Hi, Mr. Raskin.’ I met Danny
at least 25 years ago. He came into
my restaurant when I took over at
Honey Tree on Orchard Lake and 14
Mile. He loves our food. He always
talks good about our staff. I pick him
up a lot of times to go to lunch or
dinner together. I have had five loca-
tions in the last 10 years. He came
to all my locations. Danny tries to
make good dining deals for my cus-
tomers that he can write up to bring
people in.”
