The atmosphere was great for dinner (early evening) dining areas limited necessitating that tables be closer and smaller than ideal. While not comparable to italian restaurants in NYC Newark or Boston where stiff competition breeds excellence this is one of the few restaurants in town that are not continental cuisine in town. Hopefully the ethnic south American restaurants that opened in the area over the last few years will increase competition and motivate Michael's Tratoria to fine tune their offerings and achieve true excellence.

But we have definitely found the service to be better if we eat at the bar. At the bar, Faster service, food is warmer, and the wait/bar staff older and more professional. Wife and I ate here on a Sunday night with our kids, bar pretty full but only a couple people in the dining room. Waited nearly 15 mins for drinks. The meal took nearly 2 hrs. Our waitress was young, but friendly. Overall, the service was SLOW and she always seemed busy, but not helping us! At the end of the dinner she was "dealing with a problem " while we waited seemingly a LONG time for our check. Your mileage may vary, but for us, we're getting tired of this same experience each time we dine here.

Boy were we pleasantly surprised. This was not New Haven-style pizza, but it did have a thin crust. The crust was much stiffer, but the bottom had a delicious crunch to it. The pizza also had plenty of their excellent sauce on it, but the best part was their thinly sliced meatball topping. My wife and I both agreed this was the best meatball topping we ever had. The staff seem to be very helpful and pleasant. The pizza was delicious, and we will definitely be returning. They also give you a reduced price if you pay with cash.

The peach prosecco was so good that I had to get a glass by itself We ended up getting a house salad, and a seven topping pizza! Definitely only one piece is sufficient Because I have a second stomach, there is always room for dessert! I got a Affogato al Café which was smooth and creamy!

We went for dinner and it's a beautiful dining area, the waitress was very nice and knowledgeable, and checked on us several times.

I will definitely be back on my next visit back to Connecticut.

I had the cantaloupe martini, hmmm nothing cantaloupe about it other then the color! They could have put a sliver on the glass! They had it, because it came with our crostini!

Nice cozy spot where you never walk out disappointed or hungry. The food's always solid and fresh,…read moretender chicken and crisp salads that hit the spot, even if the dressings came from a bottle instead of Nonna's secret stash. There's a bit of a "shared fryer situation," so don't be surprised if your mozzarella brick has just a whisper of haddock perfume. The desserts look like they've seen a freezer or two, but the warm vibe more than makes up for it. The staff is fantastic, and the tables practically chat with each other. Think Sunday dinner energy without doing the dishes. All in all, a four-star hug of a restaurant.

We started with drink and appetizers we had the squash flower stuffed and lightly battled with sauce absolutely delicious and the carpaccio also very good.

It's very busy so I would recommend making a reservation. They have happy hour specials and I believe it's Monday night ladies night . The atmosphere was very pleasant dim lights and plenty of seating.

OLIVE GARDEN WOULD HAVE BEEN A BETTER CHOICE!!! This place…read moreat first glance has the ambiance of a funeral home...not one bit of an Italian look or feel at all. The tables are very crowded together. THE BATHROOMS ARE DIRTY, NO TOILET PAPER OR PAPER TOWELS IN THE LADIES ROOM AND STUFF ALL OVER THE FLOOR IN THE MEN'S ROOM. NOW FOR THE FOOD!! Veal Milanese, not too bad but not a hint of lemon, not even a wedge on the plate. For $32 Shrimp and crab special, FIRST...NO FLAVOR WHAT SO EVER!!! Totally under cooked pasta, (I am Italiano, I know Al Dente) totally WAY OVER COOKED SHRIMP and some tuna fish type crab meat you had to dig for to get on the fork. JUST AN ALL AROUND TERRIBLE DISH. For $38 Then, after expressing to the staff and talking to the owner about a dish we ate a few bites because it was so horrible, it was ignored by them and we had to pay for a $40 dish that was SHIT. SHE, the owner who honestly looked more like a poorly dress hostess, had the nerve to come back to our table, put her hand on my girls shoulder with a, "are you alright" comment rather than EVER ASKING if there was anything she could do to correct this culinary disaster. THIS PLACE ISN'T EVEN WORTH THE TWO STARS I HAVE GIVEN IT. It was very difficult to understand the mostly Spanish based staff.... if that doesn't scream Italian I don't know what does...However the deserts were not bad but almost certainly come in a box on a truck and not made in house. BOTTOM LINE IS, THERE ARE SO MANY GREAT ITALIAN DINING EXPERIENCES IN CONNECTICUT...DON'T WASTE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY ON THIS PLACE LIKE I DID.
