Michael’s has a lovely tent set up in the rear of their parking lot, complete with sparkling lights and flowers. Tables were socially distanced and all the many waitstaff were respectful and wore masks. We shared appetizers and dessert, ordered individual entrees. They start you off with a generous bread basket with focaccia and flat bread, olives and cheese. All the food was very good. Service was excellent. Prices for wine were high, but the food comparable to other nice, Italian restaurants. Highly recommend.

Honestly, all their sauces will please you, but I go nuts for their home made vodka sauce. It's served on penne pasta that done perfectly, not too limp and it's pink and tomato-y. All their parmagiana-s are good, veal chicken or eggplant. You can't go wrong with this place, they're one of the best Italian restaurants in New York City. located right here with us on Avenue R.

We wanted to go to a festively decorated, good restaurant to celebrate the Christmas season. Michael’s was just the place to do so! We had made a reservation on a Thursday evening and were promptly seated. It was very busy but service was great. They start you off with a complimentary tray of roasted peppers, olives and cheese. We shared baked clams (8 to a serving). One entree ordered was from the list of daily specials, stuffed calamari. The other entree was the mixed seafood platter over linguine, which surprisingly included lobster. Both were absolutely delicious! At the server’s suggestion, we ordered a dessert of homemade hazelnut tartufo, the best we have ever had (I emphasize homemade!). Prices were on the high side, especially for wine and entrees, but you get what you pay for and this was worth every penny. Desserts and appetizers seemed more reasonable, as was after dinner cappuccino and specialty coffee. However, we thoroughly enjoyed what we feel is probably the best Italian restaurant in our area and highly recommend! Parking is available in the adjacent lot.

Not at all worth all the high reviews.
Service leaves a lot to be desired, the food is underwhelming to say the least.
Skirt steak was flavor less and way overdone. Waiter didn’t seem to care, that is - once I actually caught him.
Not coming back. Not worth it. Go elsewhere!

And the service is the best .. professional waiters which is so hard to find today!!!!

I picked up some decadent biscotti at their bakery across the street. My parents told me about this establishment and they have eaten here as early as the 1970s.
I picked up the almond biscotti. It had plenty of nuts and a nice sweet vanilla/cinnamon flavor. This flavor will definitely compliment a shot of espresso beautifully. I did take one star away as I felt that the biscotti was too hard to be eaten without dipping it in a cup of coffee. Still a solid score. Everything else in the store looked delicious.
This is a true Brooklyn Italian bakery. Next time, I'll try the restaurant.

From the moment we walked into the restaurant service was top notch. Everyone was attentive without being too much. Drinks were very good and the wine recommendation by our waiter was exactly what we were looking for. All of our food was beyond expectations and was worth every penny. Did not have dessert as we went across the street to their pastry shop which is another experience to itself. Cannot wait to return!

Why do I love Michaels so much- its not just the food, not just the atmosphere, not just the service and the attention to detail. It's the combination of all them.
Just try the on the bone Veal Parmigania, and tell me I'm not right-the BEST.
I love the vibe, the smells, the sauce, the little things they do-I love it all.

My wife and I came in early at 5 PM and it was romantic, nice and quiet. By 6 PM, nearly the whole place was full but the ambience was enjoyable to watch all the other guests. Food was very good and the service was great and friendly. Even though busy, no one was rushing us out the door to leave and every table looked full.
We will definitely be visiting again.

Once again Michael’s was amazing! Not only is the food top notch but, they treat us like family. We get to order off menu regularly and they always accommodate our requests. Staff is friendly and they remember how we like our food and beverages served. I would highly recommend this restaurant, whether you are looking for a an amazing date night spot or a family gathering; Michael’s is the spot!

Me and My Husband decided to try out Michael’s for the ball drop on New Year’s Eve 2024. We had the best night of our lives here. The food was incredible, The service was amazing and the place was packed and fun. We also didn’t want to judge this place by this one night considering it’s New Year’s Eve, and it was packed and it could be a little hectic and crazy because of the holiday, but they did not disappoint at all. We are still talking about how amazing this whole experience was. The whole feel of the restaurant was just perfect. The food was absolutely fantastic, and everything came out in perfect timing. Our waiter John was outstanding and made us feel very welcomed. There was live music which made the night even more perfect, and the decor was phenomenal. I also love that we could get very dressed up and how classy this place is. We will be returning on January 20th for my birthday celebration. 🎉 and I can’t wait.

The pizza was fantastic with a crispy crust and rich, flavorful sauce. However, the pasta was not for me– overcooked and lacking seasoning. Great place for pizza, but I'd skip the pasta next time.
