Tosi's did not
start as a restaurant, but as a small resort catering to Italian-American
Families. It is this commitment to you, La Famiglia (the family), that exists to
this day......
Customer
Commentary I
was privileged as a youngster to have a summer
home at Palisades Park, MI. Lovely place, can't
get enough of it. While living there and having
two brothers who were also born in July we
celebrated our birthdays as a group and ALWAYS
selected Tosi's as our birthday dinner
celebration location. Sadly we sold our cottage
at the Lake but I never lost my love for the
place.
When I turned 16 the normal birthday dinner was
offered up and my response was let's go to
Tosi's. This may not sound too unusual but at
the time we lived in Parkersburg, West
Virginia! My folks just bought a new Lincoln
(important for the rest of the story) and Mom
was itching for a road trip with it, Dad got off
work, and with my brother, Rick, in tow, off we
went to Palisades.
Too long of a drive for one evening; we stopped
in Flint, MI to overnight at a Ramada Inn. We
were informed we'd have to breakfast at the
Frishes' Big Boy across the street as the
Ramada restaurant burned down the previous
week. Not deterred, we stayed. My Dad, the
early riser, went to check us out and entered a
crime scene in the lobby complete with police,
thugged employees, and an undetermined amount of
cash missing. Dad said he'd check back later to
check out! He
and Mom quietly packed our one suitcase and got
us up. Dad told us of the scene in the lobby.
Rick and I wanted to see so we went to the lobby
and Dad proceeded with the bag to the car. No
car! Knowing it was late and a bit shaken by
the crime scene he asked Mom about the car
location. She came out of the room. Her new
Lincoln was indeed gone. Good news was, the
police were already onsite! So a second trip to
lobby collected Rick and me AND the police.
With new car gone and bag in hand, we sat. Dad
and Mom filling out paperwork for police and
insurance. Not be dissuaded we were off again
on our vacation in our rental car and dinner was
at Tosi's at 6 that night.
Fast forward now 38 years and I took my family
plus one to your restaurant for dinner last
Wednesday evening. We enjoyed our meal, your
restaurant, and the friendliness of your staff…
all's fine in the world! We thank you for fine
evenings, both past and present.
From a student attending
Scullen Middle School, Naperville, IL....... "I'm a
sixth grade student at Scullen Middle School in
Naperville Illinois. You're probably wondering
why I'm writing a letter to you. I am writing
this letter because my English teacher gave the
class an assignment to write a story and letter
to our favorite restaurant. I chose Tosi's as my
favorite. I chose
Tosi's as my favorite restaurant for many
reasons. One reason is I love all your Italian
food and your desserts are delicious. I also
chose Tosi's because my grandpa knew Mr. Tosi
and he would take my family and I to Tosi's.
Every time my family and I come to Michigan, I
always ask to go to Tosi's. I hope you
like the story I wrote about your restaurant.
Hopefully, it won't be too long until I visit
Tosi's again. I wish we had a Tosi's in
Illinois. Thank you for having a fantastic
restaurant and taking the time to read my
letter." My
Favorite Restaurant
Tosi’s is an awesome restaurant in Stevensville
Michigan, It is an excellent place for any one.
They have great Italian paintings that are
really interesting. The dessert is amazing and
Tosi’s also has valet parking, which not a lot
of other restaurant include. People love
everything about Tosi’s, especially the service.
This one of a kind restaurant has everything
wanted in a restaurant all in one place It has
amazing food, a relaxing atmosphere, and
incredible service. To begin with, Tosi’s
has amazing food and all kinds of choices.
Tosi’s may be an Italian restaurant but they
have great steaks too. Also they are known for
delicious pastas and pizzas. The desserts are
fantastic. They have so many choices such as key
lime pie and many delicious chocolate desserts.
The food is not the only thing that keeps people
coming again and again for years and years. The
atmosphere is fantastic too. Secondly, the
atmosphere is nice and relaxing. It is not like
those other places with yelling, screaming and
dirty tables. Tosi’s is in Michigan, home of the
great lakes and only a block away from Lake
Michigan. Inside they have Italian paintings and
a soothing piano bar. Sometimes a customer might
want a nice shady place outside and luckily
Tosi’s has that amazing place and in the summer
you can eat outside too. The atmosphere isn’t
the only thing to go crazy about because the
service might be even better. Lastly, the service is
amazing. Both kids and adults love how nice and
friendly the servers are to everyone. Even
better, Tosi’s has valet parking. This way
people will never have to worry about where
they’re going to park again. A hostess will lead
a person or people to their table. They also
make sure those people have enough seats. Better
then that, a server will bring the people or
persons bread for a beginning appetizer. They
also will take their order and serve them their
food and drinks. All the reason mentioned make
Tosi’s one of the best restaurant for service. In conclusion, Tosi’s is a
great place for everyone small and tall. Tosi’s
has fantastic food, a relaxing atmosphere and
the most amazing service. Scrumptious food is
what Tosi’s does best. The atmosphere is almost
better then the food and some people love the
service better then anything at Tosi’s because
of all the nice employees. Next time you need a
great meal, whether you are by yourself or with
friends, stop by Tosi’s and eat some really
delicious food.
