Celebrity chef collaboration in Detroit

Bloomfield Hills-based Cicero Hospitality Group has opened, Adelina, a collaboration between renowned celebrity chef Fabio Viviani and two celebrated local chefs, Gabriel Botezan and Marco Dalla Fontana, promising a vibrant fusion of Italian-Mediterranean flavors. Since moving to the U.S. in 2005, Viviani, a chef, restaurateur, TV host and best-selling cookbook author, has opened more than three dozen restaurants, bars and event venues, and his hospitality group serves over 10 million meals each year across all his award-winning concepts. “I, along with the entire Fabio Viviani Hospitality team, could not be more excited about the opening of Adelina,” said Viviani. “This menu is truly special: a perfect blend of signature Italian dishes rooted in tradition and modern Mediterranean fare. There is nothing else like this in Downtown Detroit, and I can’t wait for people to experience it.” Designed in collaboration with NORR Architecture, Adelina’s 4,000-square-foot space accommodates 88 seats in the main dining room, 22 at the bar and 20 in the lounge. Design features include a glass mosaic bar, featuring Mediterranean-style polished glass mosaic tiles. An outdoor patio will be added this spring, which will accommodate an additional 40 guests. “This project represents the culmination of our team’s vision to bring a unique experience to Detroit,” said Randy Dickow, managing partner and food and beverage director for Cicero Hospitality Group. “Downtown Detroit is now firmly established as a vibrant culinary hub, and we are proud to debut Adelina.” 1040 Woodward Avenue, Detroit adelinadetroit.com
