Okay now, first of all, I've got to say that the ambiance is incredibly PERFECT! It feels like I'm back on Sardinia (town Cagliari) having the most wonderful food I could ever hope to eat. Margaret, Denise, Michael, Anthony, and David have all made my girlfriend and I feel so comfortable that we feel like family. Kudos to Don Michael's for the best, freshest, with the most gastronomically delightful cuisine you could ever enjoy! Al Dente all the way, baby... Grazie Don Michael's! read more

This is a family owned restaurant located inside the plaza on Decatur and Loan mountain. If you are expecting fancy, this is not it. I was on the fence at first because of its location but decided to give them a try anyway. Upon entry I noticed a distinct smell and couldn't figure out what it was. It wasn't overbearing but it wasn't pleasant. The place was small and decor is cute and simple with a home-like feel. We arrived at 6pm no reservations and were the only there so we were immediately seated. Our server was Kara (or close I'm sorry if I got it wrong) who was absolutely amazing. She was friendly, attentive, was patient explaining the menu, and continued to check on us. We ordered, the garlic bread with cheese, Caesar salad, meatball, chicken parmesan with penne vodka, and the chicken chature I believe that's what it's called. Side note; they offer happy hour prices from 4-6. The complimentary garlic bread was delicious with fresh chopped garlic. The Caesar salad was simple and was also very good. They used the nice green chopped Romaine leaves with real Parmesan. We did find a piece of plastic on the salad unfortunately and didn't mention it, as this didn't stop me from eating it and we all make mistakes lol The meat ball was tender and the tomato sauce tasted fresh and not overly sweet like most places. The coating on the chicken was perfect and was cooked to perfection. Overall, both chicken dishes were made fresh with quality ingredients, plated very nicely and were really good. The portions are also huge so the price point is reasonable. We both took half our meals home. However, both dishes could have used a bit more seasoning. My chicken parmesan could have used a little salt, garlic, and Italian spices and my boyfriend said the same. Still good but just providing my feedback and based on reviews a lot of feel the same. For all of it, we paid about $45 and I added a $15 tip because she deserves more than the average 20%. My overall experience was great, I will be coming back, and I will be recommending this place. I would just suggest adding a bit more seasoning, looking into the weird smell going entry, and advice that the cook wear gloves at all times. He was wearing gloves when we came in but I then witnessed him using his bare hand to separate the linguini noodles read more

So looks like they are accepting reservations unfortunately when I call they didn't State they were having reservations spoke with the young lady named Margaret drove 25 minutes from my location to have dinner with my goddaughter on Valentine's Day and unfortunately they don't have anything available to 8:30 p.m. so with this being said I have to give it one star read more

Decided to try this resturant hidden away in the corner strip mall that I had driven by several times. We had reservations and got seated immediately. Probably good we them early since most of the tables looked like they were reserved. Staff was friendly and attentive. Food was all delicious and we left satisfied and full. Overall, we had a great dining experience. read more

Don Michael's is a small casual neighborhood type Italian restaurant located in a strip mall in North West Las Vegas. Prices are very reasonable and portions are extra large. Even the wine is reasonably priced. Service was also much better than from most places. They give you complimentary garlic toast to start with. We started out by trying the appetizer called portobello mushrooms. I was expecting something like a few stuffed mushrooms. We got an ENORMOUS bowl of really amazing mushroomy cheesy RICH sauce with mushrooms and spinach. It sure was a family sized portion. It's very good but it's best to put on something like the garlic toast, or your dinner. I thought it would be delicious on a potato. My husband went with the chicken saliccia special (chicken & sausage peppers, onions, olives, rosemary, thyme, wine, Sunday sauce, pasta) He said it was really great and it was an extra large portion too! I had the salmon da vinci (sherry dijon sauce, capers, artichokes, pasta) The salmon was slightly over salted but was prepared reasonably well. The sauce was tasty. It's not a fancy place but is worth a try! read more

Found this place, yelping the whole way home from Cali earlier today. So glad we came here. First, the garlic bread was more like garlic, butter and a little bread, very tasty! The Wedding Soup, definitely home made, and one of the best I have ever had, not only did it have meatballs, but it also had shredded chicken. The appetizer of meatballs, Wow! Just like Mom used to make. The pasta carbonara, had a rich creamy garlicy cream sauce, lots of bacon, was way too much to eat, ended up taking half home. the linguine alfredo, another rich and creamy sauce, wifey could finish either. All food came out piping hot!! and in pretty good time. The lemonchello cake, i was so full, but i had to try it, had a good lemon tart taste, and the cake was moist. The staff was great!! A real Mom and Pop restaurant, so glad we found this place, we will definitely be back, there is so much more to try.. read more

Based on reviews and closer to home, we gave it a try. Small...I mean small place. Service was ok, but food was really delicious. They mastered their tomato sauce - nice job! I say give it a go - it's not too bad. read more

This restaurant was tucked away in the corner of a half abandoned strip mall. That should've been my sign to leave. I thought I would give it a try and hope to find a hidden gem. I was sadly mistaken. The restaurant was clean and the service was friendly and quick, however the food was the worst I have ever been served. The calamari was rubbery and dripping of dirty oil. The marinara was watery. The shrimp scampi was sitting in a bowl of brown liquid. The veal picatta was grey with canned artichokes also swimming in watery brown liquid. The only fresh items were the salad and the massive amount of garlic put on everything to make it taste like something. Very disappointing to have paid $80 for this meal. We left disgusted and disturbed. read more

The food was good, but I'm hoping the dine-in is better. The to-go was lacking something. I can't pinpoint it but I'm sure fresh inside the restaurant is better. The Chicken Marsala gots raving reviews, but being that is my favorite Italian dish, I didn't care for it. The Alfredo was flavorful and delicious. The lasagna and baked ziti were also tasty. The side salads and calamari seemed sparse, again, maybe the fact that it was to-go. The mozzarella appetizer surprised me. I was expecting sticks, but they were actually two decent sized blocks. The cheese bread was also a hit. I won't order to-go again, however, I will dine in next time because the food was overall good. read more

What is it with this place and plastic in your food?? The second time I've found plastic in my food. Looks like they grated the cheese with the plastic wrapper on it. Then I find a hair, laying there right on top of one if the chicken riggies. The food is good and the salad plentiful but I'm tired of finding inedible things in my food. I won't ever order from here again and I'd advise you to do the same. read more

I had a hankering for some good Italian as my comfort food is always pasta. So I went to Don Michael's - it's tucked away in the corner of a strip mall. I was immediately sat and offered something to drink. Wine it was! I had also read about the chicken riggies and ordered that also. You can get it not spicy or spicy; basically on a scale of 1-4. I went 1 which isn't spicy. The flavors were amazing! White wine tomato sauce along with garlic, onion, pepperoni, mushroom. I almost ate the entire plate. There was one waitress working and she was busy but friendly and the ambiance is not fancy at all. It's perfect. I'm coming back for that dish! read more

Don Michael's - Chicken Riggies - Italian Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Came here on a whim on a Wednesday night. We made reservations but the restaurant was mostly empty when we arrived so we probably didn't need them. The service was quick and very friendly! They serve Peroni beer which made my husband super happy! We ordered the Riggies and the Chicken Parmesan. The food came out literally steaming hot! The chicken parm was delicious but the Riggies!!! Oh my goodness the Riggies!! So ahhhmazzing! The sauce was perfectly spicy and we even asked for more bread just to make sure we were able to sop up all that goodness. We barely made a dent in our portions so we are already looking forward to lunch tomorrow! Currently they are only open for dinner but when they can get enough staff they said they will open for lunch. We will look forward to that! This little hole in the wall is definitely getting bookmarked. read more

This is a down home type of restaurant. No fancy decor, just friendly staff and great food. We typically eat early, so when we arrived at 4pm, the restaurant was empty. I don't care, they can spend more time catering to me and my girl. We ordered the portobello mushroom appetizer. That is seriously good. Mushrooms in a cheese sauce with spinach. It's so cheesey that the strings of cheese seem to follow you. It's a meal in itself! Need I had the Shrimp Scampi and my lady had Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken. Both were excellent and worth having again. Try this place out, I doubt you'll be disappointed. read more

We were in the mood for Italian and a bit tired of the bright lights of downtown Las Vegas, so we made a reservation at Don Michael's. It's about a 20 minute drive from downtown. We got there right on time and the restaurant was empty. The server joked "we reserved the whole restaurant for you". They have a great menu with lots of good choices. The wife started with escargot with a Frutti di Mare. I had my favorite veal parmesan. Hers came with a good salad, mine with pasta fagoili soup. The soup was very thick, almost like chili. Very good. The veal came in 2 large pieces and was also very good. Lots of penne on the plate as well. Unfortunately, the wife's Frutti Di Mare was too salty for her. She barely ate half. The cannoli is made to order and was very good. Service was very good. Overall, a mixed bag. Not sure if we'd make the drive out again. read more

The meatballs were ok. The chicken franchises was too breaded, not lemony and not a lot of flavor. My husband had the stuffed shells which he said was ok. We had the cheesecake with blueberry topping and it was the worst thing either of us have ever tasted. It had an awful flavor to it and the consistency was the farthest thing from cheesecake. read more

Don Michael's is amazing! On my birthday evening, Friday, we had called around to a few different restaurants for reservations, fortunately, Don Michael's was able to accommodate a party of 3 for reservations at 6:30 P.M. Don Michael's is a restaurant that specializes in Italian cuisine. It's located in North Las Vegas, cross-streets W Lone Mountain Road and N Decatur Blvd. We took the 95, Craig-W exit to get to Don Michael's. It's inside a large plaza, tucked away in a small space. Upon entering, it felt like a cozy restaurant. Everyone felt like family here. There is plenty of table seating available, physically distanced. There is a TV you can watch. No music was playing at the time we were eating. It was very busy though! Only one team member was seating, cleaning the tables, and providing assistance to the tables. The server was quite friendly and had us seated promptly though. The menu was provided, along with drinks and complimentary garlic bread. After reviewing the menu, we had selected the following Chicken Sinatra (Soup - White Bean Pasta e Fagioli) Spaghetti Marinara with a Meatball Baked Ravioli with a Mild Sausage (Salad with Italian dressing) The soup came out first. The White Bean Pasta e Fagioli is legit. It's homemade with the correct ingredients. Some restaurants use a tomato base, but Don Michael's uses the white bean as the base for the soup. It's absolutely delicious! The salad was fresh, with sliced tomato and onion on-top. We had requested Italian dressing, but balsamic was put instead. The balsamic was good though! The entrees came approximately 30 minutes later. It was extremely busy the Friday evening, between customers inside the restaurant and pick-up orders. The Chicken Sinatra was cooked perfectly. It included the Sherry Dijon sauce with mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes and roasted pepper. The sun-dried tomatoes were slightly over-powering, but the rest of the ingredients mixed well with the chicken and Sherry Dijon sauce. The Baked Ravioli was huge!!! This lasted me for dinner and lunch the next day. The Ravioli was stuffed with a ricotta/basil mixture. It was super yummy! The marinara sauce on top was plentiful, with cut-up onions in the sauce. The mozzarella was perfectly melted. The mild sausage was good. It wasn't spicy, but sweet. You could tell it was homemade! My daughter enjoyed the Spaghetti Marinara with Meatball, but wasn't able to finish the entire meal. We ended up bringing the dish home. Overall, this was a great experience! The meal wasn't too expensive, under $65.00, including tip! If you're looking for a great, local restaurant that specializes in Italian, you should check out Don Michael's. read more

How have I not been here before?? First, I really enjoy going to small restaurants such as this place. Not knowing I was speaking to the owner, we began our friendly banter and I felt welcomed right away. I did notice that she may be a little stressed, which made sense because she seemed to be doing a lot on her own. But she was very nice and friendly. Now, about the food. I had the lasagna with meat, and it was so good that I forgot to take a before picture BUT I did take an after photo. The lasagna appeared and tasted homemade, meaning the sauce was freshly made and reduced slowly. Now, I'm not an Italian or have family in the old country of Italy, so take my opinion as an red blooded American that eats American versions of Italian, Mexican, Asian and even American dishes. But I liked this lasagna. I also had a salad with their homemade dressing. It was also appetizing. For dessert, I had their homemade cheesecake made with goat cheese. This was a distinct flavorful dessert and while it was notably different from the cheesecake I am used to, it was delicious. I did manage to take a picture of the cheesecake though. The place is quiet, small and quite worth the visit. I went in with no expectations and was pleasantly impressed. Don't take my word for it, try visiting on your own and make your own decision. I don't think you will be disappointed. Oh, and their iced tea was crisp, clear and refreshing. Give them a try, they are a small business that is worth supporting! read more

We tried Don Michael's Saturday night and it was amazing. Food was sooo good! And even though place was packed and Margaret was the only server, she made up for it with a warm and friendly demeanor. Be prepared for a bit of a wait. Food is excellent which is likely from being made fresh. Don't expect Olive Garden-fast. They are not a chain. This is now our go-to place for pasta. Magnifico! read more

Looking for my first Northern Italian cuisine curbside pickup venture, I decided on this establishment with which I had some previous familiarity dining inside. Results were mixed. Phoning in my order was easy, as it was patiently taken down at the other end. And all food was ready when I arrived. I used my cell phone to announce my arrival, quickly paid in cash through a lowered driver's car window, and after the staffer ducked back inside the restaurant and soon emerged with bags of food, they were swiftly placed in the popped open trunk. It was a mostly contact-free experience, and I was on my way home. When I returned, Diane and I immediately sat down to eat. A bowl of Italian Wedding Soup was good, and Baked Mozzarella with a superior warm and mild Marinara Sauce tasted very good, except Diane was unhappy that the squares of slightly melted Mozzarella Cheese were swimming in the sauce. And a cup of Pasta Fagioli for which I had paid $1.50 extra was completely missing. Bummer! A complex small Antipasto Salad, sporting mixed greens, artichoke hearts, tomatoes, roasted bell peppers, Black Olives, pepperoni, ham, and Provolone, with all coated with a zesty Italian Dressing, was a filling and satisfying mix of vegetables, meat, and cheese. A colorful side of salad with mixed greens, Red Onions, and creamy Caesar Dressing was a good starter at a home-prepared dinner two days later. Veal Franchaise with Lemon Butter Sauce was too lemony for Diane but fine for me. And Veal Marsala tasted okay, but the Marsala Sauce was rather thin and more oily than most. Included Garlic Bread was supple and tasty. Without question, the highlights of the meal were my side of Creamy Fettuccine Alfredo and Diane's side of Creamy Penne Alfredo with extra ordered Alfredo Sauce. The pasta was al dente, and the Alfredo Sauce clung perfectly to it. I would come back just for this! But our dinner overall was uneven. read more

This is our second experience @ Don Michael's. We ordered the large antipasto salad and garlic bread. Delicious flavors and plenty of meats, cheeses and veggies. The restaurant is offering specials during June: $5 Peroni beer, $9 1/2 carafe wine and food specials. Great service too! The server is this wonderful lady who knows to bring a cold glass or fresh garlic bread. All around great experience. read more

Was looking for some good Italian food in the North Vegas area and while my craving was satisfied, I was a bit underwhelmed. Upon entering on a Thursday night, my table were the the only guests for dinner at 7pm. Service was fairly quick...since we were the only patrons. Our server was kind and attentive. We were served complimentary garlic bread which was warm and buttery, but didn't have any garlic flavor which was disappointing. We ordered the meat lasagna and chicken riggies as our entrees. The lasagna was pretty good - soft, cheesy, and not too heavy. The chicken riggies was ok. I was hoping for the sauce to be a bit creamier and the chicken felt like an after thought as it was tender, but not very flavorful. Our bill for the 2 items came out to just over $40 which felt a bit pricey for what we got. read more

I went here immediately after seeing Chicken Riggies on their menu and the great reviews. The food was okay, not great. Unfortunately there was barely any chicken and it was a little rubbery. The service was absolutely atrocious. There was only one server for several tables and around 15-20 people total. She was very rude and didn't refill my drink until after my food was gone. Not a great experience while eating a spicy dish. Some people might like the small restaurant aspect, but I hated it. You could tell people were trying to talk over each other table's conversations. I really wanted to like this place, but I don't think I'll be going back. read more

So it's a little diner type place with quick and efficient service. Had my test for all Italian restaurants: Chicken Marsala: the chicken was not pounded flat but was tender enough to cut with a fork. Plenty of a variety of mushrooms in a very tasty sauce albeit rather runny. Garlic bread could be better, salad was simple and good. House Chianti was very good. Calamari tasted like it came from a box. Would not make it on The Hill. read more

I have been here many times and have never been disappointed in the service or my meal! Margaret the server is outstanding, very friendly and accommodating and takes the extra time to chat as well! The food is amazing every time and love their marinara sauce! They have several delicious menu items and I've tried most of them but my all time favorite is their chicken or veal Sinatra! I will post a picture of it! Definitely a hole in the wall but well worth the trip if you like friendly service and delicious food!! read more

To preface, we ordered out and did not dine in. I ordered the carbonara, it tasted like thick Alfredo sauce not light carbonara with egg. My wife got the chicken rigatoni, it was worse than mine. It tasted like they threw in jalapeño or Tabasco to spice it up but used way too much, that it overpowered the dish. I usually put heavy weight on the bread of an Italian place. The garlic bread looked like hotdog buns they bought from the store with garlic butter. The cannolis were the only thing we had that tasted ok and did not meet the trash can. I would not categorize this place as an Italian restaurant. read more

We have been eating here for years and have never had a bad experience. We dropped in again Thursday night. The garlic bread was freshly made and perfectly prepared. We ordered the Pasta Carbonara, Caesar salad, and Chicken Parm. The parm was plump and cheesy and delicious. The Carbonara was so cheesy it was almost a soup. Everything was delicious, but there was so much of it that we had to take half home. And, when you go, be sure to try the riggies! Another of our favorites! read more

Came here for Wednesday night trivia and was pleasantly surprised at how delicious the food was. I mean wow. And the price was right. My dining partner made a meal of the happy hour (4-6pm) specials, while I had the chicken piccata (only $20!), which came dressed with artichokes and a lovely lemony sauce, perfect with pasta. I asked for bread to sop up the sauce and the server brought garlic bread. It was buttery and to die for. Somehow we got full and had to bring home leftovers. The server was super nice and the dining room was charming. If I lived closer, I would be here once a week. read more

Disgusting Food. Disgusting smell. The only redeeming qualities would be the service. The workers are very nice! But thats the only thing that was good. i had the chicken Franchaiss.

Plus when we came in, it stank like a gas station bathroom. All the food had a weirdly sweet taste. My marinara patsa was literally sitting in a half cup of water.

Mood- Italian I called and made a reservation. Was obliged with my time request, shocked honestly as it was a Friday night. Upon entering watched a nice table interact with the server like they were all old friends and at home. I knew in this instance my experience would be wonderful. Was ushered over to a table and menus given. As always I asked " What do you suggest " the server was very helpful in the selections. We opted for the Alfredo, Lasagna, Meatballs, house salads, Tiramisu, cannolis and was given complimentary garlic bread. I was blown away by the sauce of that alfredo. It was perfection. I took my time and savored that. I even took it to work the next day for lunch and it still held its integrity. Interior is several table and chair arrangements. Everything was very clean and sanitized. There was music playing in the background and a television was going as well. It feels very personal almost like your at someones Grandmother house with the way I was treated. This restaurant has been a continued to staple for 7 years even giving the new owner the original recipes. Some have been tweaked over time, but most have remained the same. Would def recommend - pricing is reasonable for the all around experience. Especially if your feeling like you need a meal cooked that is true comfort food. it is starting to pick up, so I would def recommend reservations as Vegas is starting to open up more with the capacity limits. I will truly be back to entertain more food. Location is Decatur/ Lone Mountain - ample parking. It is hidden off in the Northwest corner of the parking lot. read more
