Café Cortina is a family-owned Italian restaurant and event venue in Farmington Hills, Michigan, founded in 1976 by Rina and Adriano Tonon on a former apple orchard site.

Today their sons Adrian and Giancarlo lead the venue, keeping the family's commitment to authentic regional Italian cooking and genuine European hospitality at the center of everything. The property's lush gardens, intimate patios, and an on-site seasonal kitchen garden evoke the feel of an Italian countryside vineyard.
