Paesano's
This Italian restaurant is one of your best bets in Ann Arbor for fine dining on Christmas Day. Chef Isabella Nicoletti is a native of Trissino, a small town near Vicenza in northeastern Italy, and her menu reflects this background. While there are many staples of the Italian-American restaurant, such as spaghetti with marinara sauce or lasagna, much of the menu is comprised of traditional North Italian offerings like roasted poussin.
