More than a year after the official announcement from Bedrock Detroit, some details have emerged for the new downtown Detroit restaurant at 1040 Woodward, steps from Campus Martius.

Adelina Detroit is expected to open its reservation books as soon as next month. The contemporary new spot is a collaboration between Michigan-based Cicero Hospitality Group and celebrity chef Fabio Viviani.

The storefront at 1040 Woodward in 2023. Adelina is expected to open here as soon as next month.

Adelina's menu will have Italian and Mediterranean influences and aims to be a hot destination. In an Instagram post last week, followers were invited to text “ADELINA” to (805) 991-5126 to become a VIP.

“With its sleek and trendy interior, Adelina offers a unique dining experience that is both stylish and relaxed,” reads a blurb on the website.

“The menu features an innovative blend of traditional and modern cuisine, made with only the freshest ingredients. Whether you’re in the mood for a romantic dinner or a night out with friends, Adelina is the perfect place to indulge in delicious food and drinks while enjoying the energy of Detroit’s thriving culinary scene.”

Born in Florence, Italy, Viviani is a well-known chef who has been involved with Detroit-area restaurant concepts before, including Bar Verona. He's competed on Bravo's "Top Chef" and "Top Chef: All Stars" and has published several cookbooks and opened many restaurants in the United States.

Adelina will be at 1040 Woodward in the space formerly occupied by New York-based California-Mexican fusion restaurant Calexico, and before that, an Olga’s. Once an opening date is announced, we'll have more details on the menu and how to make reservations.
