    Giant grasshopper in catered salad
    Marni M.

    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.

    My favorite restaurant to order catering from. My store has been ordering from michael G's for the past two years and it's always a hit! The food is delicious, the delivery service is awesome and prices are very reasonable compared to many other places so shout out to Michael G for thinking about us :)

    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!

    Italian Steak Sandwich- AMAZING!
    Singing V.

    Michael G's never disappoints! The shrimp fettuccine Alfredo was some of the best I have ever had; absolutely outstanding! The steak sandwich was amazing as well. I highly recommend their stracchiatella soup...delish!0

    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall, venue is pretty nice and quiet.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great of an afternoon with lots of booth and seating options[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Lunch with my mom. We had a great time ! Eggplant parm sub is amazing! Got a soup and salad too. Great staff, and delicious food Love this place ! Thalia gave us the best service! Thanks for a great lunch!

    Price went up and no fountain drinks available.  Tired of getting ripped off.

    Sign out front says SPECIAL $6 Slice and Fountain Drink. I got handed a slice of pizza and charge $6 and change. It only didn't special price go up, they no longer have fountain drinks. No one will survive with these prices.

    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.

    The Big Guy Uber delivered
    David N.

    First time ordering and we're pleasantly surprised. I ordered the big guy and some mozzarella triangles My wife ordered the chicken parm. The menu is pricey however You get what you pay for . I had to double check the address , it says they are in Chelsea but this feels very North End Bostonian . Delicious and no shortcuts

    It says .. sliced tomato..
    Howie S.

    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.

There was a very festive mood in the air. So many tables had bottles of prosecco flowing. The brunch was very good. Classics but with an Italian flare, likes eggs Benedict with prosciutto instead of Canadian bacon. I had avocado toast with poached eggs...but they called it Avocado Bruschetta. One egg was perfect...runny yolk, and one was overcooked...jammy yolk, but it was still delicious! We tried the prosciutto and peaches with arugula starter. It was fantastic! I've heard of prosciutto and melon, but had not tried peaches with prosciutto until now. It is a great combination! My daughter had the bolognese which was served on house made papardelle noodles. The noodles were very wide and quite thick which gave them a wonderful chewy texture. They were perfect for the chunky sauce. She loved it! The service was a little slow...we had to wait a while to place our order, and we waited a while for the check. But the service was very friendly and I loved that every server had an Italian accent. Warning about sitting outside on a hot day...the umbrellas don't tilt, Some seats are in sun, some in shade, and if you're in the sun, you're going to be hot. Bring a hat!

I can't get enough of their monkfish Marsala, usually ordered with the black squid ink pasta. There's always a line out front, and it's worth the wait. When I had the chance to bring a colleague at the end of the trip, he ordered the same dish and loved it. This is not a fancy place and it isn't trying to be. It's seriously good Italian seafood with epic portions. Go easy on the bread they bring with olive oil and spices because the plates are huge. I can rarely finish a full meal after an appetizer, so I usually just order the main. I'm excited they now have a location in Pasadena, California, which is convenient for my work travel. I can't wait to try it. PRO-TIP: there are a couple other locations nearby. Same good cooking. If you don't want to specifically eat in the original location, then it may be faster to pivot to Daily Catch Takeout Window at 331 Hanover Street, two doors from the original or the full service Waterfront site at 65 Atlantic Avenue which is an 8 to 12 minute walk from the original location through the North End streets.

The Fusilli was done perfectly al dente and soaked in that delicious sauce that was flavorful and clung so well to the pasta. The chicken breast was well marinated and super tender and juicy.
