    This has been one of my neighborhood favorites for years! I am.in live with everything on the menu but my best comfort foodis their eggplant parmesan casserole!!! Even when they don't have it as a special they're always willing turn their appetizer into my guilty pleasure. Their pastas and pizzas are amazing too and the owner Anthony is a gracious host. He hires lovely staff too. Sometimes his family members fill in for Anthony but they don't have his charm and spirit. If you want authentic Italian in a cozy environment, please make this one of your stops!

    Special Kudos to Mary, our server, who remembered throughout the meal who was drinking what; even in passing. We had a party of 8, and Michelangelo Ristorante accommodated us very well. I tasted the porcini risotto and the papardelle, both quite good (a few grains of rice were still hard). I thought the ambiance and value were excellent. They have a rotating list of specials, some of which seem quite interesting, and I would go back to try those.

    (Grade A) The food was generally good. The Bolognese Pizza was awesome, the crust rates a neck of a lot better than it looks. We also ordered the Rigatoni Bolognese, the Buffala Burrata (again awesome), the Papardelle alla Dominica was all also good. The Penne Putanesca had too much garlic for me, it overpowered the sauce. The mushroom soup was very bad for me, it was a little too earthy, will definitely not order it again. The desserts, we had the Pana Cotta (A), Ricotta tart (B+) and lastly the Tiramissu (C+). The service was awesome, the owner even goes around table to table and makes sure to touch base, which is a nice touch.

    Laughably bad. Our server was definitely high, the drinks were HILARIOUS (frozen drinks half blended so ice chunks were an impossible size), food was about half as good if I made the same at home, ambiance nothing like the website. We left after one round of drinks and 2 appetizers when our waiter wouldn’t stop asking personal questions and shaming us for keeping the menus he wouldn’t take away on our table.

    We've been wanting to stop here for a long time--we drive by several times each week. The food was simply amazing--perfectly prepared and so flavorful--and everything I'd expect in a top notch Italian eatery. Pasta was nicely al-dente and the sauce was bursting with tomato flavors. Wine pours were also good and rather generous, too. We were there on V-day, so it was a bit crowded. But definitely worth it.

    This is real Italian. I haven't had food like this since I was in Italy. The bread alone (which they make there) is to die for - you can smell it when a basket goes by your table. The chef specials are great, and I told them they need to bottle and sell the pink vodka sauce. The difference in quality of their food goes above and beyond many so-called Italian places. If you want a meal that tastes like you're eating in Italy at the home of the best chef in town and their family, this is the place to go. Full of flavor, love, dedication to excellence, we will definitely be coming back regularly.
