    Chicken Potato Gnocchi Maw Maw's Ravioli
    Kamryn K.

    I saw Andrew Michaels it was recommended by the Michelin guide so we had to come try it! The food was pretty great. It's a family style Italian-mix dishes. My favorites were the Foccia bread (very buttery), the lemon chicken and the gnocchi. The ambience is a nice candlelight dinner for a cute date night or special event. We made a reservation in advanced and they had a complementary valet outfront, which made for a no stress experience. Our waitress was kind, attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. The menu is rotating with the seasons, a bit on the pricier end, which is expected, but really wasn't too bad for such high quality.

    Chicken Liver Toast

    Several people recommended Andrew Michael Italian Kitchen for its fun concept every last Wednesday of the month. Chefs Andy Ticer and Michael Hudman, own this establishment (also Catherine & Mary's, Hog & Hominy, and Little Bettie Pizzeria). I recommend making reservations via phone or Resy online. They do offer complimentary valet service here. The street parking can be rough, as there are several other restaurants in this particular street area. It is more on the romantic and private side. The lighting scene is perfect. There is a full bar at the far back of the restaurant. FOOD: We tried the WTF (What the Food) Wednesday experience, priced at $75 per person, with optional wine pairings available for an additional cost. The dinner consists of five secret dishes created from local ingredients. Guests are kept in suspense until the very end, when they receive a handwritten menu from the chefs to take home. 1. Chicken Liver Toast (4/5): As a foie gras lover, I guessed this one correctly. The flavor was great, but it would have been even better if the toast had been served warm. It was rather cold. 2. Sweetbread Piccata and Celery (5/5): My second favorite dish of the night. The flavor profile was beautifully balanced, from the horseradish to the celery. We were completely fooled, as we thought it was some type of meat and didn't realize it was sweetbread piccata. 3. Spinach Gnocchi and Pumpkin (5/5): We were in love. Everything about this dish was heavenly, from the spinach-infused gnocchi to the brown butter, sage, and pumpkin. I would happily order a full entrée portion and take some to-go home. 4. Pork Shank with Risotto (3/5): Our least favorite dish due to the saltiness. The spinach was heavily salted, so we ended up picking it out. The pork shank itself fell off the bone and was cooked well, but overall the dish wasn't memorable. 5. Sweet Potato Cake and Vanilla Gelato (3/5): My fourth favorite. I don't recall much sweet potato flavor, but the dessert was pleasant enough. The service was great. Our server was personable and attentive. There was a slight delay between courses, but it didn't detract significantly from the experience. Would I return? Yes, would like to try more of the main menu items.

    Old-fashioned and a spritzer

    Was very excited to try this place, especially after hearing it was nominated for a Michelin Star. We made reservations for our 20 year anniversary and did it for 5PM right when they open so we could avoid the parking nightmare of that area (been to other restaurants in the area and know how it is). Was seated immediately in a corner table, nice dark ambiance. Waitress was great and very helpful. That was probably the only great thing about the place. We were the only people there with about four tables in our room and another four in the room next to us. About 10 minutes in the sat a business meeting right next to us. Of all the table and knowing we were celebrating our 20 year anniversary, why would you sit a business meeting right next to us when you had so many other tables available. They were so loud I literally couldn't hear my wife talking next to me. Now on to the food. Everything was way over salted, and I love salt. I had the duck which the skin was perfectly crisp but was so salty I couldn't even eat it. The wife had the fish (can't remember what kind it was), which was rubbery and again way too salty. The crispy rice appetizer was mushy and salty. The focaccia and prosciutto was salty as expected which is why we ordered it but needed something else like olive oil or something to dip it in because it was dry. Normally we stay for dessert but nothing appetizing about the food screamed it was worth spending another $20 for a piece of cheesecake. No desire to try again.

    I got a gift card for my birthday and used it for a little date night with my boyfriend! We shared the blue crab focaccia, Carbonara pasta, and the Coppa. Everything was really flavorful, especially the focaccia with the cheesy crab topping! The thick noodles in the Carbonara were a standout, and it was the perfect size for splitting. The Coppa had great flavor, and the sauce on top really tied it all together. Parking. They had free valet, or there's street parking around the corner, that we ended up doing. Overall we had a great night and were happy with all of our choices!

    Sweet potato dessert

    Overall, the service was a 10/10. The staff was amazing, and the quality of service was consistent throughout the entire experience. I would absolutely recommend the restaurant based on service alone. That said, I do have to be honest about the food. The duck entrée was disappointing because the skin was overly salted, which took away from what could have been a great dish. As the main entrée, this was unfortunate and affected the overall dining experience. With respect to the star, I would suggest reducing the salt so the flavors of the dish can truly shine. On a positive note, the wine selection and house drinks were excellent and definitely stood out.

    I tried AMIK for one of their monthly WTF Wednesday events, in which they do not provide the menu until after the meal. Each dish was full of surprises. The flavors were great. I loved the wine pairing as well. The service was top notch, but it was a little slow at first as our waiter was very busy with other tables. They seemed a little short staffed that night. We had nothing but water on our table for half an hour, and it took forty five minutes for me to get my first glass of wine. Once the food and drinks started coming, though, I was very happy. The atmosphere is dark and warm. The decorations are modern. The total was $265 for my girlfriend and me. The experience lasted about two and a half hours. I'll certainly be back to try their a la carte menu, or perhaps another tasting menu event like this one.

    Rigatoni

    We had a reservation for late on a Saturday night. We arrived on time and were told that the table before us was running over so they didn't have a table ready for us. The hostess did her best to find another option for us, but unfortunately the only options were tables by the bar or outside (even with the heaters it was too cold). We ended up at the table near the bar and it was so loud that we could barely hear each other talk. Other than that slight disappointment, the experience was great. Our waiter was nice & very knowledgeable about the menu. Most things we tried were fantastic, although I didn't care for the meatball. My favorites were the rigatoni & the chocolate sticky toffee pudding.

    NYE menu

    My NYE experience at Andrew Michaels was a little disappointing. The food was good, but the service was lacking. We waited quite a long time to order and also a very long time between the first and second courses. I ordered the wine pairings with my meal, but our server didn't mention the wine pairings when describing the prix fix menu, took all of our orders, then began walking away before I stopped him to add the wine. My food was good, but my partner's steak was a little overcooked. We also weren't asked how we wanted them cooked, but we assumed they'd be med rare (mine pictured was). Overall, I understand they were busy so it was probably just an off night. We'll always be back for the sticky toffee pudding!

    What a wonderful, local Memphis spot!!! Sat at the bar for a last minute meal and it did not disappoint!!! The pasta is fabulous and so are the cocktails! The bar service was excellent and I will definitely be coming back! Love the upscale vibes

    Carbonara

    The A/M cornbread was the star, but the three pasta dishes we tried were very good. The cornbread was a bit pricey but worth it. The pastas were very reasonably priced. We dined in the bar, and it was extremely loud, even though it didn't actually bother us that much. A very nice restaurant, good service, and professionally run. We will definitely be back. P.S. I wish everyone would label their photos--it can be a big help.

    Can u bring your own wine?

    Yes, but they may charge a corkage fee

    What kind of attire is it what should I wear?

    I believe dress code is business casual. Jeans no holes. Loafers or dress shoes no tennis shoes. No hat. Nice button down or collared shirt. If you're feeling fancy a sport coat would be good too.

Seemed to be more to-go orders than anything. We came and were seated. The server told us it was her first day so she didn't have answers to any of the questions that were asked. I ordered the blackened catfish pasta and my friend ordered the blackened catfish meal. After waiting for quite some time, the server comes over and tells us that it takes about 45 minute to cook our food since everything is made to order. So if we were on lunch break, it would be better to call in the order. 1- it doesn't take 45 mins to scoop pre-made pasta or grill catfish. 2- You probably should have told us that information when we arrived, not an hour after we been sitting. Yes it took a full hour to get our food. With no one else in the restaurant. Should have been a clue. My food wasn't even piping hot when we got it. It was lukewarm as best. So the taste was just ok. Fish very salty. Pasta flavor was ok. My friend enjoyed her meal but was also disappointed in the wait and the warmness of the food. Presentation was good however. I asked for a to-go container and the check. The server said ok and then went to talk to another employee for an additional 20 min as we were waiting to finish up and leave. I had to go ask her again. And she said it's on the way. So in all, we spent about an hour and 40 minutes in this establishment during our lunch time. Not sure I have any interest to return.

    Dear Rotolo's Team,…read more I wanted to take a moment to share an experience I had recently at your restaurant because I believe people who go above and beyond deserve to be recognized. During my visit, I had the pleasure of being served by Elyssia F., a young woman who is working as a waitress while attending college with the dream of becoming a psychiatrist. What really touched me is that she said, "her goal in life is to help others in everything that she does". Elyssia is working hard toward her future, and like many college students, she has concerns about money and the financial weight of pursuing her education. But despite that, she showed me what it looks like when someone refuses to let their circumstances determine the kind of person they are going to be. My meal actually arrived without any noodles in my pasta. But somehow, that mistake became one of the best parts of the experience. The manager personally came over and made sure my meal was corrected. The team didn't simply replace the dish--they went above and beyond and even created a flatbread for my pasta toppings so that nothing went to waste and I could still enjoy everything that came with my meal. And while all of that was happening, Elyssia used her compassion, humor, and personality to turn what could have easily been an irritating situation into something I genuinely enjoyed. Then she did something I wasn't expecting. She got the entire team to sing me Happy Birthday. At that point, it wasn't just about the food anymore. It was about the people. Every person I interacted with was warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind. There was a sense of hospitality that felt different from simply being "good at customer service." It felt personal. It felt like the people there actually cared about making sure I had a great experience. I walked in expecting to have dinner. I walked out with a story I'm going to remember. And that's why I'm writing this. Elyssia deserves to be recognized. Here is a young woman working hard to put herself through college because she wants to spend her life helping other people. She is serving tables today while preparing herself for a career where she hopes to help people tomorrow. I would love to see Rotolo's consider whether there is a way to sponsor, contribute toward, or otherwise help with Elyssia's college tuition. I realize that may not be something a company can simply do for every employee. But sometimes you come across someone who makes you stop and think, "This is someone worth investing in." Elyssia made me feel welcomed, valued, and cared for on a day when she could have simply done her job and sent me on my way. Instead, she helped create an experience I'll remember. And I believe investing in her education could eventually allow her to do for countless other people what she did for me: make someone feel like they matter. Thank you to Elyssia, the manager, and the entire Rotolo's team for an incredible experience. The food was great. The service was exceptional. But most importantly, the people were unforgettable. Please recognize this team--and especially Elyssia--for what they are doing. Sometimes the greatest impact a company can make isn't measured by another sale. Sometimes it's measured by investing in a person who wants to spend her life investing in others. Thank you, Rotolo's, for an experience I'll genuinely remember.

We were excited to try this place out, but the food didn't quite meet our expectations, especially for the price.

My bacon was uncooked and there was so much grease in the bottom of the skillet.

It's a dish that probably would've been better eaten inside, because the heat and condensation from the container sorta softened the breading by the time I made it home.
