We ordered pretty quickly. We started out with a fried artichokes and we also got the meatballs. Those meatballs might be the best things I've ever had in the fried artichokes were absolutely delicious. For dinner, I got the special of shrimp and lobster and raviolis, which were a handmade pasta so very light and fluffy and the lobster stuffing had lobster meat in it and was very tasty. It was so good. I ate the whole bowl and had no leftovers! My friends all liked each of their meals and no one left with any doggie bags! They did offer us dessert But since we were going to a show, we did not have time for that. Highly recommended!

We were on the of the first few patrons for dinner that night and it got busy. Only thing I'd mention is because it got busy the service dropped slightly. Longer time to get water refills, dessert or the check. I'll overlook that as it still was a great meal and night out. If I got slightly more attention I'd have rated 5/5.

The room was private and perfectly set for our party. Should we do another party we would absolutely choose this place again. We would highly recommend Michael's Trattoria for your celebration in the Wallingford area! Kudos to Michael's. Well done!

I went to Michael's for the first time. To celebrate my daughter birthday…read more I was told it was good. I made a res, arrived and was told there was no room in the main dining room. We were led to the back room which Was dingy and had dead flowers in the table in gross water. We stayed against my better judgement. We got the burrata special, it was good, main course was chicken and artichoke.. it was very unappealing. All piled in a plate with tons of tomato sauce on it, could even see what was eating. And was charged more for swapping the past for vegetable. $30. For a chicken dish that sucked. It kind of ruined the vibe of the night. I will never go back. Too many other actual good places. Service was okay but they didn't care I was disappointed. Sorry but this is an honest review. Food, service and ambiance can all be improved on. Best of luck to them

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.

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.

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.
