The pasta was fresh and tasty and the chicken was properly cooked. Yummy , delicious with the broccolini and garlic!

Michael G's has fantastic pizza and pastas. Their pizza crust is flavorful, has a fantastic texture, and you can tell that it doesn't have a lot of preservatives and dough conditioners in it to give it an artificial flavor. The Underboss is also an awesome pasta dish! I reorder from Michael G's probably too often, tbh! read more

My job got catered food from here by a representative for a medical facility. Everything was going well so far in terms of their fried ravioli and chicken Parmesan. Other than the pasta being over cooked, I had no complaints really. Until I scooped some salad onto my plate and had was a few bites it. To say the least, I was horrified to find a two inch long dead grasshopper on my plate. Need I say the lettuce was not properly cleaned. My stomach as well as my coworkers churned. I will never get food from here again and will advise others to be aware. read more

My wife and I are in town from North Carolina. This place was recommended to us for lunch. We were greeted warmly and quickly. We ordered our lunch and both got Chicken dishes. And they were both delicious! And so plentiful we had enough to eat for supper. My wife also had a salad which she enjoyed. Will definitely stop here again when we come back to the area. read more

Michael G's is an amazing spot for affordable classic Italian dishes, pizza, salad, sandwiches, and more. Its the perfect place to order take out, but when I visited, we dined in. They served really tasty bread to dip in olive oil and we ordered a greek salad which was full of good feta to start. My entree was the Chicken Piccata with Fusilli. There was a lot of good juicy chicken and the pasta was cooked perfectly al dente. I will say the dish was a bit oily but overall super delicious. I recommend Michael G's for sure! read more

Service was great. I'm not really a sandwich person - it was a little too bread heavy for me, but others would probably really like it here. There are lots of sandwich options. Price for 1 sandwich is pretty high though without sides offered. The desserts looked great too though & they use high quality meat. Overall, venue is pretty nice and quiet. Great of an afternoon with lots of booth and seating options read more

UPDATE TO BUSINESS OWNER RESPONSE -- Your response is full of lies. Your family member is merely trying to cover his ass. Being a teacher does not necessarily make him honest. Same for you -- you never called me back! No call came up in my call list nor did I receive a voice mail message! My Caller ID had been turned off, so that was not accurate. He never mentioned Slice. He never mentioned the baking process -- yet another defensive claim for burnt cutlets! My photos show melted cheese and burnt cutlets. Why would you even plate it? Oh, because they need to be cooked and baked through!???! I was polite simply explaining my disappointment and did say I wanted a refund which is why I wanted you to call me. I thought you should know how the burnt cutlets were being defended to assist you and how your restaurant was being represented! I ordered and received last night and waited over 24 hours to post to see if I would hear from you. I never threatened anything nor had a need to since I thought I would be speaking to you. You also win the award for a bad attitude. The only thing you did right was use Slice who resolved my $26 pasta with red peppers (eggplant was missing) + tax/tip. I am not out to bash you, just stating my experience which was not good and you just made it worse. If you want to be successful, you should be open to feedback. Had been wanting to try this place after seeing so many good reviews. Darn, what a disappointment. Ordered online through their website which redirected me to the Slice App. Wanted their North End Pasta dish for pickup. Dish was to include pasta, chicken cutlets, roasted eggplant, and roasted peppers. It was ready on time. Got home and saw that the chicken cutlets were burnt. I immediately called the restaurant and the guy who answered told me that they have to be burnt to be sure they are cooked through! Total defensive move. I told him that golden brown is a good indicator, and probably best to just cook myself. ‍ I asked to have the owner call me. The guy was about to hang up without even taking my contact information. Upon hanging up, Slice texted me a feedback form. I expressed my dissatisfaction -- heck, that dish cost me $21.95 and I had included a tip! Slice was right on it. They contacted the restaurant and offered to refund me $19.95 for the chicken. So my dinner was pasta with red peppers -- it was also missing the roasted eggplant! Oh, and the owner never bothered to call me back! So be forewarned, they purposely burn their chicken cutlets. Slice saved the day, and I will never go there again. The owner never called me either. They have to burn the chicken cutlets? Good grief. read more

Great new restaurant My wife loves the chicken kabob salad and pizza is excellent The restaurant is nicely set up

I sincerely wish I could give this place a higher rating. The food is yummy. I've ordered from here about three times (have not dined in), and enjoyed the cost/quality/quantity. They're also quick. Should be an easy 5 stars. On the last order, though, the amount of pasta we received was about half of what we had previously, despite the same prices. Which made the value feel lost. Inconsistency means I'm hesitant to order again because I don't know what to expect. Maybe it was a fluke? I don't know. I'll update my review if I order again. read more

Shoutout to Amy P that was working the front of house! GF and I were in the area and wanted Italian so we thought to check this place out. I was a bit hesitant at first but Amy's hospitality was the entire reason we stayed. If we lived closer, this would be our go to. Free fresh bread with oil is always a delicious bonus. Mozzarella triangles were hot and gooey. Good sized cheese ravioli. Simple. Tasty. One of my favorite chicken parm sandwiches. Simple but well done. Looking forward to our next visit. read more

I've been here a couple of times and I think I've made up my mind. They have the potential to be really great but they are not consistent. Tonight's meal was a couple of pizzas. A Margherita and a plain cheese. Both pizza's had excellent dough. (I could tell time was put into it) However both were put together pretty shitty. The Margherita was supposed to have slices of tomatoes but had none. And way too much sauce to make up for it. The cheese was the same... So much sauce it was squeezing out with every bite. If they could get it together it would be amazing. Further update... Got a response from the manager saying they don't put slices tomato. So I added a picture of the description on Uber Eats. read more

I went out for a birthday pizzer with my wife and parents on Tuesday to Michael G's. First of all the staff couldn't have been more friendly and welcoming. We also met Chuck who came over to complement my mustache(right back at ya bud). First pie was a sausage and black olive. The sausage has the right amount of fennel and wasn't dry at all. The crust was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Undercarriage was perfectly crisp as well with a touch of flop. Second pizza was a pepper and onion. It reminded me of childhood. It's what my parents always used to order when I was growing up. Perfect amount of toppings. The sauce isn't overpowering with spices. It tastes just like tomatoes. My mother said the crust was just the way she liked it. Sausage and olive 8.4 Pepper and onion 8.8 The next time we go back we're getting pasta. The plates looked unreal. read more

I have ordered from this restaurant since it opened. I always order from the catering menu which consists of hundreds of dollars worth of food. Another family birthday Thursday night of course everybody wants Michael G's. I usually pick my orders but I sent my son this time. He encountered an extremely rude women behind the counter with a very bad attitude. He came home and told me what was said to him and I was furious. I have NEVER BEEN TREATED ANYTHING BUT WONDERFUL so to hear this made me extremely sad. I called and asked for the manager and this person happens to answer the phone saying to be the manager "what's this about" right there is the attitude. I explained my situation which she denied. needless to say you have lost a very loyal customer who also refers friends and relatives to your restaurant. You really need to rethink your choices when you hire for customer service to the public. read more

Food was great! Service was not as good. It was my first time in the restaurant, but was never acknowledged, no welcome or explanation of their ordering process. I'm not sure if the cashier was just busy and expected me to already know, but I didn't and her acknowledgment and help would have been greatly appreciate. All in all I would definitely come back. The cashier wasn't necessarily rude, just not customer service friendly. Tip: Assume no one knows your process and offer assistance with the ordering and seating process. It can only add to the experience, as your food was delicious! read more

Michael G's came highly recommended so we expected great things. Unfortunately we were very disappointed with our takeout order. The pizza was undercooked (I should have opened the box before leaving). The steak tips were a bit on the tough side. Maybe it was an off night, but not sure if we'll give it another chance. read more

Full disclosure Michael is a friend of mine. But it doesn't matter. The food is insane. Love the steak tips love the pizza. Those are my go to keep doing what you're doing Michael G read more

I went to get a salad after my workout. I ordered an antipasto salad and a side of buffalo grilled chicken since they did not make a buffalo grilled chicken salad. I asked if the chicken could be buffalo they said no problem. They charged me $17 as I'm sitting waiting for my order. The woman asked me what type of wrap do I want I informed her I did not order a wrap. I ordered a salad. She proceeds to tell me that it's gonna cost $4 more dollars they did not charge me correctly . I think almost $22 for three pieces of grilled chicken and a salad is ridiculous. on top of that the chicken wasn't even buffalo. They just threw buffalo in the bag and called it a day. The woman could see I was upset and I don't think she really gave a damn . I won't be back to the spot anytime soon. read more

I'm so happy this hidden gem is in Chelsea , we need some more restaurants like this that serve delicious homemade Italian food. The inside is cozy , clean and spacious. Each booth had a divider which was nice. We ordered the chicken broccoli ziti that was just the perfect portion and we also got the margarita pizza , fresh and delicious. I can not wait to come back and try something else on the menu. read more

Wow. My newest "go-to" pizza place. First, the staff is kind, outgoing, professional and the kindest people. Their Pizza rivals the best pizza around. Their pizza is currently my favorite. Great size, the sauce is delicious and service fast. I love the thin crust pizza. Nicely cooked with super high quality ingredients. I can't wait to try some of their other food options. In a word: yummy. read more

Imagine being closed and accepting an order for pick up? I arrived to see they're closed and I was charged.

Based on the reviews, I wanted to like this place but unfortunately the pizza was soggy and the chicken parm calzone was terrible with chopped chicken (not cutlet) and no mozzarella cheese. I'm sorry to say there was nothing great about our take out order. Positive note: easy online ordering and very clean. Portions are large. Friendly fast service! Negative note: waste of $38 (should have gone to Brown Jug) and the description on the menu doesn't match the order. Sad to say I won't give them a 2nd chance. read more

Michael G’s Restaurant - Chicken Marsala atop Cheese Ravioli..so good - Pizza Near Me - Chelsea, Massachusetts

I have eaten here 8 times and up until now the food was always great. April 2, 2024 I ordered Chicken Cacciatore and Chicken ziti brocolli alfredo. There was only 4 very small pieces of chicken in the cacciatore and the alfredo sauce was very clumpy and tasted terrible. So I called Michael G's. I told the person who answered my problem with the food and she told me that the chicken dishes come with 7 pieces of chicken. I asked to speak to the manager. A man came to the phone and I began to tell him about the issues with food. He stopped me and said that he is the owner and he personally made my food for this order and that the chicken was correct. He was not nice about it either. I told him that I had never had a problem there before. But this was not correct. I told him that I would not spend my money at his restaurant again and he hung up on me read more

Saw this place on the Phantom Gourmet and couldn't wait to try it. Stopped in with my husband for lunch. I was expecting casual and very casual it is. A glorified sub shop. You walk to front counter where there is a very extensive menu up on the wall. Something for everyone. We placed our order and was surprised at how pricey it was 60 bucks . told we could sit anywhere on the left side. There were several booths available but the problem was all the tables were dirty. I had to clean it myself.not off to a good start. I had ordered a glass of wine and sat patiently waiting for about 15 minutes. I decided to go back up to the counter and get it. She says oh I'll bring it right over. Didn't make sense I'm standing right there just pour it hand it to me. Save yourself a few steps but ok Finally she brought the wine. As I was sipping my wine a man walks in goes up to the counter and all of a sudden we heard yelling and swearing F bombs flying. The guy left clearly furious. It was unsettling kept eyeing the door the whole time in case he came back. Our meals came mine steak tip salad my husband had chicken Caesar salad Both were fresh but dressings were not good steak was cooked nicely rustic bread with dipping oil was good. What we noticed was the woman at the counter needed help. She was taking and delivering orders to tables. Obviously had no time to clean tables. Not her fault. Don't know if someone called out or just understaffed. I really wanted to like this place but wouldn't rush back read more

I absolutely am obsessed with Michael G's. My family all love everything I've brought home. His pizza is incredible, pasta dishes amazing (creamy spinach chicken is my favorite), and the steak tips are the best! His staff are all helpful and friendly. I'm so glad I found this place! read more

First time here and would come back again. Sorry but forgot to take pictures. We had the Fried Ravioli appetizer & the Barata appetizer. Liked both but the Barata was our favorite. We also had Chicken Parmigiano with Eggplant, The Godfather & Gnocchi in a pink Sauce. The Chicken Parmigiano with Eggplant was the best! The Godfather was very good and the next time we would try the Gnocchi with a different sauce. Looking forward to returning and trying some other dishes and the pizza read more
