For mine I had the Brussels Sprout Salad and the Mascarpone Polenta. The Brussels Sprout Salad was made with shaved sprouts, lemon, percorino, and honey. The polenta had mascarpone cheese and tomato compote.<\/p>\n<p>And for another visit I had the Chicken Parm sandwich. Made with the same crispy fried chicken, house made mozzarella, marinara, and parmsean this was a delightful, hearty meal.<\/p>\n<p>Morelia\u2019s also has White Pasta with Parmesan, spinach, and hot Italian sausage. And the Red Pasta has Neapolitan pork ragu, braised pork, parsley, and pecorino. There are a handful of salads, including Tuscan Kale and Caesar. And the side items include zucchini fritters, baked ziti, and pasta fagioli.<\/p>\n<p>For dessert one might enjoy Zeppoles, which are traditional Italian doughnuts.<\/p>\n<p>Morelia\u2019s is located at 23420 Woodward Avenue in Ferndale.
