    So I had a meeting with a customer just a few minutes away from the restaurant. My wife and I were looking for a really nice Italian restaurant. This was highly recommended. It was our first time there, we look forward to going back real soon. There’s nothing like authentic food, and it always goes with a great experience. It was fabulous.

    Michaels is an old school Italian restaurant that is family operated. I’ve been there many times, and every thing on the menu is absolutely delicious!! The staff is very attentive to making sure you have a great dining experience.

    Really cool place family oriented with no hats and basketball shorts which I love. Enzo was our server and he was fantastic. We weren’t rushed and loved the entrees more than the appetizers. Desert was great also.
