Decided to try this resturant hidden away in the corner strip mall that I had driven by several times. We had reservations and got seated immediately. Probably good we them early since most of the tables looked like they were reserved. Staff was friendly and attentive. Food was all delicious and we left satisfied and full. Overall, we had a great dining experience.

Don Michael's is a small casual neighborhood type Italian restaurant located in a strip mall in North West Las Vegas. Prices are very reasonable and portions are extra large. Even the wine is reasonably priced. Service was also much better than from most places. They give you complimentary garlic toast to start with. We started out by trying the appetizer called portobello mushrooms. I was expecting something like a few stuffed mushrooms. We got an ENORMOUS bowl of really amazing mushroomy cheesy RICH sauce with mushrooms and spinach. It sure was a family sized portion. It's very good but it's best to put on something like the garlic toast, or your dinner. I thought it would be delicious on a potato. My husband went with the chicken saliccia special (chicken & sausage peppers, onions, olives, rosemary, thyme, wine, Sunday sauce, pasta) He said it was really great and it was an extra large portion too! I had the salmon da vinci (sherry dijon sauce, capers, artichokes, pasta) The salmon was slightly over salted but was prepared reasonably well. The sauce was tasty. It's not a fancy place but is worth a try!

Linguine Alfredo
Jeff P.

Found this place, yelping the whole way home from Cali earlier today. So glad we came here. First, the garlic bread was more like garlic, butter and a little bread, very tasty! The Wedding Soup, definitely home made, and one of the best I have ever had, not only did it have meatballs, but it also had shredded chicken. The appetizer of meatballs, Wow! Just like Mom used to make. The pasta carbonara, had a rich creamy garlicy cream sauce, lots of bacon, was way too much to eat, ended up taking half home. the linguine alfredo, another rich and creamy sauce, wifey could finish either. All food came out piping hot!! and in pretty good time. The lemonchello cake, i was so full, but i had to try it, had a good lemon tart taste, and the cake was moist. The staff was great!! A real Mom and Pop restaurant, so glad we found this place, we will definitely be back, there is so much more to try..

Veal Piccata

This restaurant was tucked away in the corner of a half abandoned strip mall. That should've been my sign to leave. I thought I would give it a try and hope to find a hidden gem. I was sadly mistaken. The restaurant was clean and the service was friendly and quick, however the food was the worst I have ever been served. The calamari was rubbery and dripping of dirty oil. The marinara was watery. The shrimp scampi was sitting in a bowl of brown liquid. The veal picatta was grey with canned artichokes also swimming in watery brown liquid. The only fresh items were the salad and the massive amount of garlic put on everything to make it taste like something. Very disappointing to have paid $80 for this meal. We left disgusted and disturbed.

Chicken Marsala
Jackie P.

The food was good, but I'm hoping the dine-in is better. The to-go was lacking something. I can't pinpoint it but I'm sure fresh inside the restaurant is better. The Chicken Marsala gots raving reviews, but being that is my favorite Italian dish, I didn't care for it. The Alfredo was flavorful and delicious. The lasagna and baked ziti were also tasty. The side salads and calamari seemed sparse, again, maybe the fact that it was to-go. The mozzarella appetizer surprised me. I was expecting sticks, but they were actually two decent sized blocks. The cheese bread was also a hit. I won't order to-go again, however, I will dine in next time because the food was overall good.

Plastic in the pasta carbonara
Theresa M.

What is it with this place and plastic in your food?? The second time I've found plastic in my food. Looks like they grated the cheese with the plastic wrapper on it. Then I find a hair, laying there right on top of one if the chicken riggies. The food is good and the salad plentiful but I'm tired of finding inedible things in my food. I won't ever order from here again and I'd advise you to do the same.

Garlic Bread
Luana J.

Food was good. Lots of butter and oil and everything that makes a comfort dish. Tried a couple items while I was in town, had it delivered, so I didn't visit the restaurant. Tried the chicken parm and carbonara. Good enough I would try them again. Anything with cheese has me.

Chicken Riggies
Renee W.

I had a hankering for some good Italian as my comfort food is always pasta. So I went to Don Michael's - it's tucked away in the corner of a strip mall. I was immediately sat and offered something to drink. Wine it was! I had also read about the chicken riggies and ordered that also. You can get it not spicy or spicy; basically on a scale of 1-4. I went 1 which isn't spicy. The flavors were amazing! White wine tomato sauce along with garlic, onion, pepperoni, mushroom. I almost ate the entire plate. There was one waitress working and she was busy but friendly and the ambiance is not fancy at all. It's perfect. I'm coming back for that dish!

Beyond awesome Portobello appetizer.
Chuck T.

This is a down home type of restaurant. No fancy decor, just friendly staff and great food. We typically eat early, so when we arrived at 4pm, the restaurant was empty. I don't care, they can spend more time catering to me and my girl. We ordered the portobello mushroom appetizer. That is seriously good. Mushrooms in a cheese sauce with spinach. It's so cheesey that the strings of cheese seem to follow you. It's a meal in itself! Need I had the Shrimp Scampi and my lady had Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken. Both were excellent and worth having again. Try this place out, I doubt you'll be disappointed.

Came here on a whim on a Wednesday night. We made reservations but the restaurant was mostly empty when we arrived so we probably didn't need them. The service was quick and very friendly! They serve Peroni beer which made my husband super happy! We ordered the Riggies and the Chicken Parmesan. The food came out literally steaming hot! The chicken parm was delicious but the Riggies!!! Oh my goodness the Riggies!! So ahhhmazzing! The sauce was perfectly spicy and we even asked for more bread just to make sure we were able to sop up all that goodness. We barely made a dent in our portions so we are already looking forward to lunch tomorrow! Currently they are only open for dinner but when they can get enough staff they said they will open for lunch. We will look forward to that! This little hole in the wall is definitely getting bookmarked.

This lasagna was apparently good! Sorry you didn't get to see it. Guess you'll have to see for yourself.
Thomas D.

How have I not been here before?? First, I really enjoy going to small restaurants such as this place. Not knowing I was speaking to the owner, we began our friendly banter and I felt welcomed right away. I did notice that she may be a little stressed, which made sense because she seemed to be doing a lot on her own. But she was very nice and friendly. Now, about the food. I had the lasagna with meat, and it was so good that I forgot to take a before picture BUT I did take an after photo. The lasagna appeared and tasted homemade, meaning the sauce was freshly made and reduced slowly. Now, I'm not an Italian or have family in the old country of Italy, so take my opinion as an red blooded American that eats American versions of Italian, Mexican, Asian and even American dishes. But I liked this lasagna. I also had a salad with their homemade dressing. It was also appetizing. For dessert, I had their homemade cheesecake made with goat cheese. This was a distinct flavorful dessert and while it was notably different from the cheesecake I am used to, it was delicious. I did manage to take a picture of the cheesecake though. The place is quiet, small and quite worth the visit. I went in with no expectations and was pleasantly impressed. Don't take my word for it, try visiting on your own and make your own decision. I don't think you will be disappointed. Oh, and their iced tea was crisp, clear and refreshing. Give them a try, they are a small business that is worth supporting!

Soup, salad and garlic bread
Steve G.

We were in the mood for Italian and a bit tired of the bright lights of downtown Las Vegas, so we made a reservation at Don Michael's. It's about a 20 minute drive from downtown. We got there right on time and the restaurant was empty. The server joked "we reserved the whole restaurant for you". They have a great menu with lots of good choices. The wife started with escargot with a Frutti di Mare. I had my favorite veal parmesan. Hers came with a good salad, mine with pasta fagoili soup. The soup was very thick, almost like chili. Very good. The veal came in 2 large pieces and was also very good. Lots of penne on the plate as well. Unfortunately, the wife's Frutti Di Mare was too salty for her. She barely ate half. The cannoli is made to order and was very good. Service was very good. Overall, a mixed bag. Not sure if we'd make the drive out again.

Vodka Rigatoni. Generous serving, can feed 2
Rose A.

We tried Don Michael's Saturday night and it was amazing. Food was sooo good! And even though place was packed and Margaret was the only server, she made up for it with a warm and friendly demeanor. Be prepared for a bit of a wait. Food is excellent which is likely from being made fresh. Don't expect Olive Garden-fast. They are not a chain. This is now our go-to place for pasta. Magnifico!

Is anything on the menu Gluten Free?

They do have gluten free pasta and they boil it in fresh water so there is a smaller chance of cross contamination but it is definitely not a dedicated gluten free kitchen.

Is the full menu available during lunch hours?

If u open at 4pm why do you have a lunch menu?

I noticed they're on Grubhub, but are they on Uber Eats?

Yes I just ordered through Uber eats.

We came on a Thursday at 6 PM and apparently the entire city had the same idea. Even with a reservation we waited about 20 minutes, and I overheard multiple walk-ins getting quoted 60-90 minutes. Make the reservation lol. First, the cocktails. I'm admittedly a cocktail snob and not easy to wow, but the strawberry gin cocktail and the passion fruit gin cocktail were both 10/10. My husband is currently busy trying to reverse engineer the recipes that's how much we loved them! The garlic bread was exactly what garlic bread should be: thin, buttery, garlicky, and dangerously easy to inhale. I had the carbonara and I truly couldn't ask for a better version at this price point. Rich, well done, no notes. And shoutout to Marla, who was absolutely hustling through the controlled chaos and still took great care of us.

We had great service from Don who helped us celebrate a friend's 80th birthday there. The garlic bread was great ($1 per person at the table for unlimited bread).

Another person at our table got the Gorgonzola pasta which he absolutely loved. Another friend ordered a cocktail which she said was strong and delicious. There is an outdoor patio that looked really nice. Would love to come back and try another dish and dine al fresco on a beautiful Las Vegas day.

On our last night instead…read moreof going to an Italian restaurant on the strip, we searched for Italian restaurants and came upon Ferraro's. They start you off with bread which were not very tasty. They were a bit dry and lacking in flavor. It was a shame because they give you a small container filled with olive oil to dip your bread in. We ordered a glass of Barolo and the Dante's Infante cocktail. The cocktail was refreshing and strong. My husband wanted to try wine but there werent many options for wines sold by the glass and there was only one option for Baralos so he ordered that. The Baralo was just average for $30 per glass and it was unfortunate that there weren't more options to choose from. We ordered the Polpo ( octopus) appetizer. The flavors were well balanced and the pureed canellini beans paired well with the octopus but the octopus was too cold. Not sure if it was supposed to be served like but I've never had octopus that cold before and the consistency was a bit harder because of the temperature. For our entrees, we ordered the pappardelle with lobster, scallops and truffle. The pasta was perfectly al dente and amazing. There were 2 beautifully cooked and tender scallops. There were a few garnishes of truffle that were shaved thick enough that I was able to chew into the texture. I wish there were larger pieces as the shaved pieces were small sized in diameter. But overall the pasta itself was cooked perfectly. This was far the best dish. We also ordered the Branzino which I wish I hadn't because there was a very wierd flavor profile.. I ordered it thinking it was going to have crispy skin but the skin was very soggy. It seems they changed the method of cooking the branzino as compared to previous photos uploaded by other yelpers. I was a bit disappointed when the branzino came out because the whole fish was butterflied ( sliced in half with tail in tact) and looked like the skin side had at one point been fried but it was soggy and soaked in the sauce. I was not particularly a fan of the sauce. I tasted a strong flavor profile of cinnamon for some reason even though there was no cinnamon mentioned on the menu. Two of the ingredients listed was guanciale and taragon. One of two ingredients may have been the flavors I tasted which did not pair well with the fish. It ruined the natural flavor of the fish as they overpowered the natural flavor of the branzino. Any time I get a chance to order the Branzino, I am usually satisfied or impressed but have never been disappointed. I think my favorite restaurants where I had exceptionally cooked branzinos were on the Vegas strip. At one of restaurants on the strip which I have ordered numerous times and is a very well known restaurant which I will name nameless ...it was cooked similarly, butterflied, in a buttery lemon sauce but the skin was still crispy. A second restaurant on the strip... the branzino was smoked and roasted on charcoal with a tomato based sauce. I guess I can't help but compare because this restaurant is priced similar to two very popular restaurants on the strip but fell short. Our waiter Diego was great and best personality and made our experience memorable. Overall the best dishe was the handmade pasta. The lack of options for wine by the glass was a bit saddening. The cocktail was unique and strong. But I regret getting the branzino. I am not sure I would go back

Along with Monzú, it's the reason "destination Italian" and "off-Strip" can appear seriously in the same sentence. But nobody needs another review to make that point. Anyone with sense has already said the nice things about Esther's, and they were right, and I'd just be adding another voice to a very crowded chorus. So here's my contribution: I've started sneaking in for lunch. And I have a problem. The lunch menu might be better. How the hell did that happen? The chicken parm sando was special. Read that again, because I want you to feel how stupid it sounds. A sandwich. A chicken parm sandwich. In a city where I can eat anything, at any hour, prepared by people with Michelin stars and ego to match, and I'm telling you the thing worth talking about is a chicken parm sandwich.

They brought out a small birthday dessert with a candle, which was delicious and always appreciated.
