    The service was excellent, with live piano music creating a lovely atmosphere. Everything was fresh and delicious. As for the dessert it was an absolute disaster in the best possible way! Truly decadent.

    Michael’s is the epitome of Old School Italian red sauce joints. Hope it stays for years to come.

    My family enjoyed the food especially the Veal chop parmigiana. Travel from Long Island and it was worth the trip.
