We had the best night at Michael's!…read more I knew Michaels was an iconic restaurant deep in Brooklyn. I've seen their sauce sold in stores before, and we finally made the trip out for dinner. We went around Christmas and it was decorated inside. The restaurant was packed. Every single table was full. Everyone was having the best time. Even the bar was totally full of people ordering drinks before they were seated. The food is classic, New York Italian. Everything is a very well done version. The veal Parm was one of the best I've ever had. The caramel cake at the end was truly beyond. I can't recommend this experience enough. We ate for three hours had amazing cocktails, great bottles of wine and a really delicious meal. Looking around, you could tell the diners were locals enjoying a beloved neighborhood restaurant. It's such a special restaurant that serves real New Yorkers.

You can tell this is a staple Italian restaurant in Marine Park, Brooklyn. Lots of regulars and…read morefamilies. I always pass by and finally decided to try it out. The interior looks like a classic Italian restaurant and service is very formal. It was quite busy for a weekday night. There's valet parking so you don't have to stress about finding street parking nearby. We ordered fried calamari, baked clams, baked vodka penne, and the Fisherman's Platter. We were served bread and some antipasto to start. The calamari was a classic and I loved the sauce -- it had a good spicy kick to it. The baked clams were okay. The Fisherman's Platter is a must and good value with its generous portion of seafood. It can definitely be shared amongst two people. The baked vodka penne was also good but portion was on the smaller side. I would say Michael's is a must try at least once.

Broccoli sautéed in garlic had no garlic taste - also $10 for this tiny thing (pictured w/ fork for size comparison).

Ordered here instead of L&B's because it's closer but honestly, should have just ordered L&B's - massive portions for same price! Taste better too! To sum up - you can skip Patrizia's!

It is rare these days to walk into a restaurant and feel like people are actually happy to see you, but that is exactly the feeling here. Our waiter Dennis was fantastic, and everyone who served us was incredibly friendly, generous, and attentive. The service felt sincere and personal. The food was absolutely delicious and the restaurant itself is spacious and comfortable, which made the whole evening even more enjoyable. The vibe of the place is incredible. It reminds you of the old days when dining out meant true hospitality and people who really cared about their guests. Even after we left and went home we kept talking about what a wonderful evening it was. That feeling stayed with us. You can clearly see that Elias truly cares that every guest feels welcome and comfortable. He treats people with genuine attention and kindness and that makes the whole place feel special. A truly memorable experience and we will definitely be coming back.

Last few times they were not able to accomodate the linguini with lobster sauce because it is now a special item on certain days. Went last Saturday for our anniversary and a few more things have changed since the last time. The long time waiters Jerry and Giancarlo are no longer there. We had an Indian waiter with a heavy accent that was hard to understand. No specials were offered and the vibe was different. I think I expect an Italian waiter at an Italian restaurant the same as I expect a Chinese waiter at a Chinese restaurant. I was told the linguini with lobster was not available but I could order a lobster and have sauce on top. I settled on the veal chop and it had no garnish or sauce on it. And the third issue was they no longer had chocolate mousse pie but they had a chocolate mousse cake. Totally different from my go to. We decided to share Italian cheese cake and it was dissapointing. Was not traditional Italian ricotta cheesecake. Was made of cream cheese and was on the dry side. Over all the food was ok, the dessert wasn't, the service was attentive but the vibe was off. End result is after 30 years of eating here a few times a year I think this will be our last time.
