White tablecloth and real plates inside McNamara Concourse A
In Delta’s McNamara Terminal, Andiamo sits airside along Concourse A and runs as the airport’s higher-end Italian option at roughly $$$ per person. Think linen tablecloths, a printed wine list, and entrees that can easily push past $30, instead of burgers in a paper wrapper at the gate.
Most reviews point to pasta and steaks, with the bolognese getting the most consistent “safe bet” comments from regulars. One Google reviewer mentions pairing a plate of pasta with a glass of wine before a Europe red‑eye, which is exactly how this place makes sense if you’ve got a long evening layover before a Delta long‑haul.
It’s fully post‑security, so you need to already be through the McNamara checkpoint and heading down Concourse A. That makes it workable if you land in B or C too, since the underground red tram and the pedestrian tunnel both feed into A in about 5–10 minutes of walking time.
Pricing draws the most heat: reviewers call it “airport‑plus,” with wine by the glass creeping into mid‑teens and mains that can rival downtown Detroit checks. On a two‑course meal with a drink, plan on $50–$70 per person before tip, which is steep compared to the food courts near gates A40–A72.
Service is another recurring complaint. Multiple Google and Yelp reviews mention slow ticket times and 15–20 minute waits just to get the check during the evening bank of Europe flights. Food quality also gets dinged when people compare it directly to other Andiamo locations in metro Detroit.
Regulars on Google suggest skipping the main dining room and grabbing a stool at the bar if you care about making a boarding time on Concourse A. They also tend to stick with simpler options like a salad, pasta with bolognese, and a single glass of wine instead of multi‑course orders.
Tip: If your Delta boarding pass shows less than 90 minutes before departure, head straight for the bar seats and tell the bartender your gate and boarding time upfront.
