The Valet Parking Is Free! The Ambiance Was Amazing! Our Waiter John Was The Most Respectful And Knowledgeable Person. John Was Very Attentive And Answered All Questions We Had. From The Appetizer To The Dessert Was Irreplaceable. Everything Bursted In Flavor! The Steak And Lamb Was Cooked To My Liking!

We dined at Michaels of Brooklyn on a weeknight, knowing how tough it can be to get same day reservations on the weekend, and I am so glad we did. From the moment we sat down, our server Gregory made us feel like part of the family. His warmth, humor, and attention to detail set the tone for an amazing evening.
I ordered the Fishermans Platter, which came loaded with lobster tail, pulpo, shrimp, clams, calamari, and mussels, all perfectly cooked and tossed in a rich and spicy fra diavolo sauce over linguini. The flavor was incredible, and the portion was generous enough that I had plenty to take home (and yes, it tasted just as good the next day).
For dessert, I could not resist getting a cannoli to go, which was the perfect sweet ending, with a crispy shell, smooth ricotta filling, and just the right touch of chocolate chips.
The restaurant itself has an intimate, classic Brooklyn charm, and the prices are very fair for the quality and portion sizes. Between the food, the service, and the family style hospitality, Michaels of Brooklyn easily ranks among my favorite Italian spots.
If you love authentic Italian food, this place will not disappoint. I will definitely be back, next time for one of their specialty coffees to close out the night.

My favorite Italian restaurant in Brooklyn. Can consider this my second home. I love everyone here: Michael at the front, my waiter Enzo. Lovely people and superb food!
Fav dish is the lobster crepe, cacio e pepe, and bone marrow.

Michael’s is old-school Brooklyn Italian at its absolute finest. We go every Valentine’s Day and it never, ever misses — not a single dish, not a single detail. Dress to the nines and settle in for flawless food, impeccable service, and a vibe that feels timeless and electric all at once. If I could give it 12 out of 10, I would. Absolute perfection. ✨

Need reservations but went as single and got a side table though if not busy, can get table in main room. Staff was very attentive and answered my questions as l am lactose intolerant.
Pictures are of Tres Color salad and Fisherman’s Platter. Paid $97.00 but it was worth it.

Everything was absolutely wonderful. Food was delicious and service was great. We were 14 and it was obvious every dish was prepared with care, with sauces, breading, seasonings just perfect. Can’t wait to go back!

This is freakin delicious. One of the best I’ve had in my adulthood. And that’s coming from a former resident of Aviano, fine arts major, and self-proclaimed Michelin chef
But seriously, this is perfect texture and taste. And no garlic. 10/10

Bought this by chance. It was the first time I’d seen this Michael’s of Brooklyn marinara sauce in my local grocery store in upstate New York, and the label stood out. Love the ingredient list clearly & proudly written. — I love buying local/homemade/family sauces from our Hannaford. Some have been great, some were disappointing. Michael’s of Brooklyn was OUTSTANDING.
It was the most expensive jar on the shelf,. so I of course had high expectations before tasting. It did not disappoint! It’s hard to find a sauce where you don’t end up adding your own seasoning preferences to top off the flavor, but Michael’ marinara was perfect on its own.
There were a few product options from Michael’s of Brooklyn on the shelf, I’ll be buying more on my next trip to the store. — so I hope you continue selling to local stores!
In looking up your website, reviewing your restaurant, we have decided we’ll definitely make reservations and visit the restaurant in the near future. & I am so looking forward to it!

Amazing father’s day food. Special dinner menu but price well worth it with amazing food and typical Italian family-style portions. Brought two bags of leftovers home, including dessert and bread. Great service where waitstaff dropped by constantly to check on us and clear empty dishes. Really impeccable and reflects why Michael’s remains our go to place for Italian food.

Nestled in the heart of Brooklyn, Michael’s Italian restaurant is an absolute gem that truly lives up to its five-star reputation. From the moment we arrived, the valet parking made the experience feel effortless and luxurious. Stepping inside, we were immediately transported to a place of old-country charm. The decor is stunning, evoking a classic, elegant feel that’s perfect for a special night out.
The ambiance was nothing short of magical, with the gentle melodies from a live piano player filling the air, creating a truly romantic and sophisticated atmosphere. We were warmly greeted and seated promptly, and from that point on, the service was impeccable. The staff provided white-glove service, attentive and professional without being intrusive. Our water glasses were always full, and every need was anticipated.
The speed of service was surprisingly quick, with our dishes arriving at the perfect time. The full bar offered an impressive selection, and the cocktails were expertly crafted. As for the food, the menu is fantastic and showcases a passion for authentic Italian cuisine. Every dish is fresh and made-to-order, and the flavors were simply divine. The pasta was perfectly al dente, the sauces rich and savory—it was clear that great care and quality ingredients went into every bite.
We had such a memorable evening with friends, and I can’t recommend this place enough for special occasions or even just a beautiful dinner with your significant other. Michael’s Italian is more than just a restaurant; it’s a complete dining experience that delights all the senses. We’re already planning our next visit. A truly delicious and delightful experience from start to finish!
