    This was our first time to dine at Michael Anthony’s Cucina. We chose The Market Cafe and felt fortunate to get a reservation. From the moment we were greeted upon arrival to the time we waived and hugged goodbye, we were made to feel at home. Hunter did an amazing job as our server, especially on his 1st day back at the restaurant. My husband ordered one of their delicious pizzas and I ordered the salmon. We were very pleased with our choices and began planning on what we would order on our next visit to the island. While impressed with the service and attention Hunter gave us, we were blown away by Casey, their Dining Room Manager. She was delightful to talk to and to watch as she worked the entire room by talking to all of the guests at teach table and backing up her team by retrieving dishes, delivering food, and attending the host stand. At the end of the evening, we had the pleasure of getting to know Casey better and learned she has family from Tennessee where some of our family ties are located. The entire staff worked so well as a team! Needless to say, we will be back. We loved the vibe, location, service, staff, and food.

    I’ve always loved coming here but a little disappointed with our recent visit. The service was very good. I had the MA sandwich which was 95% delicious bread and 5% meat, 3 paper thin slices. Husband ordered the special chicken parm sandwich, again great bread but the chicken was dry and he had to ask for some sauce on the side. We’ll be back but be more discerning in what we order.

    One of our favorites on the island. The food is always excellent, service is very good. The price for food is reasonable but cocktails are on the high end. Our total cost for one shared appetizer, one shared salad and a shared personal pizza plus three drinks, tax/tip was $116. This is not unique to this restaurant but is pretty typical across the island.
