    Asiago Veal Chop
    Tara K.

    We've been here a few times, and consider this restaurant a hidden gem with excellent food. We've never been disappointed. The dining room has been remodeled and upgraded, nothing fancy, but intimate and inviting, clean. Tonight, Christine was our server, very friendly, quality service. A warm bread and butter basket was served. And our dinners came with a very enjoyable salad with grated mozzarella on top, that we love. We started with the baked clams, which, were so good, and had that sauce you keep dipping the Italian bread in. My husband ordered the Asiago Veal Chop. The size was insane. It was tender. It was perfectly breaded, fried, and delicious. He was very happy. I ordered the Zuppa di Pesce over linguini. One of the best ones I've had. Loaded with seafood. An overall perfect meal.

    Delicious assortment of pizza slices and pasta plates. Picked up a large plate of penne rustica w/chicken and a gorgonzola salad for the family dinner. Just the right amount of food for us to split. Fairly priced too.

    Michael Anthony's has totally exceeded all expectations. I've seen tons of reviews from Long Islanders on the famous Long Island Food and Drink Group Facebook Page. I finally decided to try the restaurant after months of having it bookmarked. The service was awesome and the food was seriously some of the best Italian food I've ever had. Located on Middle Country Rd, there's a small lot in front. They also have a lot in the back on the restaurant. Both times I've been here, I didn't have an issue finding a spot. Outside, the restaurant looks like a regular pizzeria/restaurant. Inside, it's gorgeous! They just renovated the entire dining room. New furniture, new paint, raised the ceilings with new light fixtures plus more! The prices are wonderful! They have nightly specials during the week that come with soup or salad, dinner, pasta, and dessert! Check the website to see which specials are being offered. The prices for private parties were also so great that my family actually booked a graduation party here. This is the best game in town for private parties/group dining. The service was something I've never experienced in NY. Yes in other states, people are very friendly when I'm out at dinner. But here in NY, usually the service doesn't compare. Here at Michael Anthony's, I was so happy with the service. Gina met with me when I called letting her know I was interested in booking a party. She invited me to the restaurant to let me taste some of the dishes. She was so friendly and helped me book what's going to be an amazing party. I felt like family after leaving the restaurant. We liked the service so much, my family came again a few days later to eat. Both Gina and Kristine made our meal memorable. The dishes came out at a steady pace and I wasn't rushed at all. The food was some of the best Italian food I've ever had, I hope my mother doesn't read this! I came during land and sea night (Wednesday). $17 for salad or soup, dinner, pasta & dessert. Some of the items have an up charge (the French Onion Soup & Pasta with Vodka Sauce) but well worth the price. Seriously, if you come and don't get the penne alla vodka, you didn't experience Michael Anthony's. What I loved is that the food is homemade and expertly prepared. The portions are hearty, come hungry! I will be reviewing what I've tried: -Complimentary bread baskets and butter for the table. This bread was so fresh and great for dipping in sauce! I was able to get seconds! -Caesar Salad: Best Caesar dressing I've ever had. Yes I said it! The portion was perfect and the lettuce was incredibly fresh. I would definitely get this again. 5 out of 5 stars -French Onion Soup: So, this has been one of the most unique renditions of this soup (aside from the Wagyu French Onion I had at Insignia). Gina told us that the fried onions placed on top are made in house daily. Omg how great! The broth also had a unique taste. I loved this because usually French onion is very salty but here at Michael Anthony's, the soup was very balanced. I recommend this. 5 out of 5 stars -Fried Calamari: I could tell, this was 100% made in house. The batter on the calamari was great, it was so buttery! The squid melted in my mouth. The portion was huge and easily split between 5 people! Also loved the marinara sauce the dish came with. 5 out of 5 stars -Chicken Francese: Usually, I'm not a huge fan of this but here at Michael Anthony's...I loved it. I think this restaurant placed a spell on me that makes me love everything! The chicken was moist and the francese sauce was so delicious. 5 out of 5 stars -Chicken Marsala: Some of the best Marsala sauce I've ever had, so many mushrooms. The chicken was moist and the brown wine sauce was savory. I couldn't help but dip my bread into the remaining sauce. Came with 2 huge cutlets, plus pasta! 5 out of 5 stars -Penne Alla Vodka: Best vodka sauce I've ever had! Wow this place!!! I have no words. Just order it! They also allow you to order this sauce on dishes like chicken parm which sounds delectable! 5 out of 5 stars -Shrimp Fra Diavolo: Came with 6 decently sized shrimp and a nice helping of pasta. The sauce had some heat but the shrimp were the stars of the show! 5 out of 5 stars -Cannoli Dessert: So, for dessert they had a choice between a mini cannoli or strawberry cake. Of course I was going to choose the cannoli. It was so good! 5 out of 5 stars Thank you Michael Anthony's Restaurant for making me and my family feel so welcomed. The food was otherworldly and the service was top notch. Looking forward to my next visit. I can't go too long without that vodka sauce in my life!

    I've done take out a few times, and have always enjoyed everything, but tonight I took my mom for dinner. We really enjoyed ourselves! From Sun-Thurs they have a great pre fix menu (salad, beverage, entree w pasta, coffee or tea, and dessert) for $15.99 +tax & gratuity... Now, I'm in the Industry and I have worked places that offer pre fix, and it can be quite a task taking care of multiple tables at once with each person ordering beverages plus refills and 3 courses...so in my eyes our server Angelina was absolutely wonderful...she handled the dining room like a champ, and was so polite, sweet, and went out of her way to please all the customers (I also have a tendency to people watch and I had the best seat in the house to do so). She worked the room alone, and it quickly began to fill. There were no bussers or other servers, so for the dinner rush she had, and for handling 20-5 people at different stages in their meals, needing refills, trying to keep everything in order, Angelina kept her composure and made everyone happy (I always mention this because sometimes people forget they're not the only ones that need attention or there is only one server so it may take a little longer than you'd like, but you can tell your server wants to make sure all the customers are happy during their visit...so, patience is greatly appreciated). We also don't like to be rushed, so although things took some time, it gave us plenty of opportunity to sit, relax, and enjoy each other's company. Onto the food...mom and I were super pleased with each course. We both had house salads with bleu cheese dressing...they were quite large with lots of veggies, cheese, and olives. The dressing was really tasty, and while I usually ask for it on the side I forgot, but they used the perfect amount! For entrees mom ordered chicken Marsala with angel hair and I ordered shrimp parmigiana with angel hair and requested fra Diavolo instead of tomato sauce. Mom really enjoyed her chicken and I tasted the Marsala sauce which had a really pleasant flavor (almost a touch sweet like they used a sweet Marsala or sherry for the sauce)...it was very well prepared and a large portion too! My shrimp dish was delicious. Crispy breaded nice sized shrimp that were butterflied and perfectly cooked...the Fra Diavolo sauce was so tasty...a nice light heat that built up slowly but never became overpowering...quality mozzarella melted on top too, and another very nice portion. We wrapped up the rest and relaxed a bit...Angelina came around for dessert orders and we chose the chocolate cake and cheesecake with a coffee and a tea...both were very good (mom had chocolate although I had a bite) but I thought the cheesecake was very delicious...it came across as homemade to me...silky smooth and creamy, a bit decadent, and a very well prepared crust. I was very impressed. I will recommend dining at Michael Anthony's to everyone! They are simply wonderful!

    Hot Honey chicken slice??  Not sure of name, but tasted awesome!

    New ownership, same great pizza…read more I'm sure when it happened but this spot changed the name with new owners. The first question I asked, do you still make the mozzarella? I'm told they are still making cheese homemade. I stopped by for lunch to have a quick slice. Nice crust with a good sauce. And the cheese is still bangin'. The new owners didn't spend any money on the interior, it's still a pizza place with the same booths from the last owner. First time here at the new spot. I still rate it the best pizza in the area. Enjoy

    Ordered a large half pepperoni pie and 6 garlic knots. The pizza itself looked pretty good. It's…read morenot bad pizza. But not great either. The crust was good but a little dark on the bottom- meanwhile the top cheese was not nearly browned enough. Could've also used a little more evenly distributed pepperoni. The garlic knots were terrible though. Dry and very garlicky, but in bad way. Not nearly enough butter or oil. I really don't understand pizzerias that serve dry, fat, lumps of dough and call them garlic knots. You need to make your garlic knots, smaller, thinner, and more thoroughly saturated with garlic butter/oil (not just chopped raw garlic). This was for delivery and after tip it was $45 for a pie and 6 garlic knots. That was with the "cash discount". Felt kind of ridiculously overpriced and disappointing if I am being honest. Could get the same order delivered from any other Stony Brook pizzeria for $10 cheaper. Certainly wouldn't order delivery ever again. And definitely never get the garlic knots. Maybe we'll give it another shot eating in.
