I had a chance to stop by for a quick solo lunch while waiting for family in the area. I was there for a late lunch, and with perhaps one other guest in there, there's always a chance in restaurants to be ignored. This wasn't the case here. The staff was attentive, but not overly, and very polite. I'm very picky about ambiance and sitting in the air conditioned patio was a joy in the middle of some pretty gnarly humidity. It definitely looks like it would be fun for happy hour or dinner with a group of friends. I ended up ordering a pretty tasty pizza margherita and a beer. All in all, I definitely plan on stopping by again next time I'm in the area to try out the other menu items. read more

Had to wait for almost an hour to get the food after order was placed. Everything is overpriced. The pasta was cold by the time it was served. They didn't get the simple pizza toppings right for my poor son after waiting for an hour. I would give the food 2.5 out of 5 stars just because one of the dishes, chicken masala, was good. I Would not go back though. They have to get the customer service straightened out. read more

My family came here on a beatiful Saturday night. The place was an experience for it's large portions and fair prices.

They were having two events that night so there was a lot going on. However, if the events are going to affect the service, then maybe they should close the restaurant for special occasions. The manager was very friendly when he greeted us and let us know that they were having two events so the outside eating area in the back was closed. No problem, we decided to dine at the outside seating in the front. We waited for about 15 minutes, but no waiter came to see us. I asked the hostess if we could just sit inside. She said yes and our waiter finally came to meet us. He took our orders and I'm looking at everybody but us receive their bread (even people who came after us). He did apologize and said he thought we received bread when we were seated outside. "No, because no one ever came to check on us." We finally got our bread. I ordered the shrimp scampi and my shrimp was not cleaned correctly, which was a turnoff. The manager did adjust the bill for that reason. The music was disturbingly loud because of the event in the back and one bathroom had to accommodate 50 people from the event downstairs, 80 people from the event in the back and the 15 other patrons from the restaurant. Needless to say, the wait for the restroom was a bit excessive. Overall, it was a mediocre visit. read more

Staff is accommodating and friendly. Was pleasantly surprised after walking in and seeing how larger this place is, deceiving from outside. Great wine choices. Eggplant rollatini and calamari were delicious. Owner came out to meet me and was very nice. read more

This place has been the worse experience to make business with. Nothing that was promised was complied. The women in charge which made it seem like we were going to have a spacious space including area to dance bunched two rows of tables for 35 people with limited space to walk or sit. There was a big group opposite side from our tables and she said oh they will be out a certain time and tables will be moved so we have the space she promised. 1 1/2 went by. We never got the space. The food was very not to taste. Strips of beef over cooked, Calamaris looked like small fried popcorn, chicken marsala bland no sauce. Every dish was poorly satisfying even the cake they throw in was good for diabetics. This place ruined our party. Ok read more

Perched on the top of Arthur Ave with an attached bakery and inviting menu, I had better expectations. The first time I went for lunch, we were seated on the nice enclosed patio in the back and had pizzas, which were thoroughly underwhelming. A bit doughy with no real character, but I wasn't that dissatisfied. Gave it another try going out to dinner with a large group of friends and was thoroughly disappointed. I ordered a salmon dish, the fish was poorly cooked and a very small portion (compared to the mountain of buttery pasta). I would have felt OK paying $10 for the meal, but with no appetizer, dessert or drinks the bill was more like $30. The only thing positive thing I could say about it was that the table bread was pretty decent. short version: if you must eat here go for lunch (or just skip to the bakery), for dinner I promise you there are better (and better priced) options just down the road! read more

I made a trip to Arthur Avenue in the Bronx to check out Michaelangelo's Little Italy. This is what I've been expecting from an Italian restaurant in NYC -- incredibly delicious food! From the bread with a sundried tomato and garlic dipping sauce, to the Gorgonzola Pear salad with candied walnuts, to the homemade fettuccine with spinach and broccoli in a creamy Alfredo Sauce, to desert, (Tiramisu), every bite was better than the last. A note to vegetarians and vegans: lots of delicious meatless options. I give this place a whole-hearted Five Star Review! I've only given one other 5 Star review for Italian in NYC, Enzo's in Morris Park, but Michaelangelo's might just be better. Well worth a visit! read more

This place was ok, but not worth going out of your way in my opinion. Especially if you're walking there from the 4 train (15 min walk!). There were lots of students there so I suppose most of the people come from Fordham anyway. While the bread they give you is delicious, and the buffalo chicken pizza is good, I can't rave about the entrees. We tried the Michaelangelo chicken and when the plate arrived (and ok maybe I'm just too used to Carmine's), there were just 2 small pieces of chicken on a giant plate! It came with a pasta of your choice and we got the fettucine alfredo, but the pasta tasted like pure butter and nothing much more. I ordered the shrimp da frivalo and while it was ok, I wasn't a fan of them leaving the tails on the shrimp (so I had to cut them off) and again, wasn't as big as I would expect for $23. The service was pretty good, though I would recommend that the restaurant either choose to take the food back to the kitchen to pack, or just leave the container and have me pack it myself. I personally found it a little strange to watch the waiter pack it in front of us. We sort of just stared while he did it. Nothing was wrong with it, it was just odd to us. read more

Very surprising venue, the inside is an eye opener. The menu selection was great plenty to choose from. Including seafood, meats and pasta everything was overwhelming. Definitely will be back the pasta was delicious. read more

Better late then never right?? Visited this place about two weeks ago and it exceeded my expectations. Everything from the appetizer to the dessert was absolutely amazing. We treated ourselves to the calamari as an appetizer, then the cheese ravioli with a side of meatballs as an entree. Dessert was the Tiramisu Almond Cake with a side of pistachio gelato. The gelato tasted very authentic and freshly made, highly recommend this for those pistachio lovers like me :-). The ambiance and servers were spectacular! Will definitely be returning! read more

TEN STARS!!!!! Can not wait to return! Atmosphere, food, service,Frank Sinatra!!!! Italian Heaven!!! Thank you! read more

First time eating here and I loved it! Friendly and clean!!! The food is great and the portions are very filling... Don't come often to the Bronx but when I come here again, I know where I'm eating at again! read more

Now if people are talking about how good the pizza is at lombardi s and grimaldis , they surely havent eaten the pizza at bronx s own little italy. Michael angelo !!!! Esp their buffalo chicken pizza is really something that one should eat !!! It is super freshly made after yu order , before which they give you a taste of their home made warm bread with a sauce which is also made in their kictchen !!!! The cocconut shrimp is also v tasty !!!!! They have a variety of wine !!! It has a good amt of party space too !! Dnt forget to try the pizza s !!!! read more

My coworkers and I used to come here for end-of-the-week happy hour. It was always mediocre drinks, food, and service, but...there is new management now and it has become unbearable. The sangria is now just juice, servers never come, food doesn't arrive, and the bar manager is inappropriate with both his staff and customers. Run! If you just want happy hour, run across the street to Clinton Hall! If you want Italian food, run down the street to any other restaurant! Just run away from here! read more

The backyard is chick And beautiful, the food amazing and the service So pleasant !!!

Really good authentic Italian food. One of the gems near Fordham. The menu is somewhat pricey but definitely is worth experiencing. I highly recommend the penne a la vodka and chicken francaise and top it off with their gelato. Also has drink ups on Thursdays for the college students. read more

Authentic Italian in New York's original Little Italy. Came here with my son and two friends after visiting Fordham University. Charming garden with comfortable sofas, which felt great after walking all day. The appetizers were outstanding. Hot antipasti included eggplant rolatini, fried calamari, shrimp. Entrees were generous, carefully prepared, and beautifully presented. Large portions, by NY standards. Exceptional value compared with Manhattan...and better food. The service was attentive without being overbearing. Warm and sincere greeting and goodbye by the hosts. A warm "family" vibe. Montepulciano house wine is good. It transforms into a hopping lounge scene of predominantly Fordham students on certain late nights. Would recommend Michaelangelo to anyone visiting Fordham or the surrounding neighborhood. It is worth the trip to the Bronx to experience true Little Italy style. read more

If I was to order the pie I just brought at the restaurant I would give it a 4 maybe 5 star but the this delivery pie is cold and carelessly taken to me by the way it looks get a new delivery man read more

Michaelangelo's - Just got this cold..sloppy pizza...i was expecting much better service ! - Lounges Near Me - Bronx, New York

This was our first visit (family of 4 with 2 teen girls) and it was great! We were a little hesitant because of some Yelp critiques of the service but we found the service to be genuinely friendly and efficient. The complimentary bread was delicious!! I've never tasted something like their oil before. The waiter kindly told me about their sun-dried tomato recipe-- truly different that the typical Italian restaurant garlic oil. All our entrees were more than enough (especially after the bread!) and very tasty. The waiter and chef were very accommodating of a couple substitutions from the girls. They were very generous when packing up our leftovers, including more bread for our leftover meal. We will definitely eat here again when we are next in the area. I only wish we lived closer so we could go sooner! read more

As a relative newcomer to Arthur Ave and the Fordham bar scene, MichaelAngelo's was a great addition to the neighborhood and offers a really unique inside lounge area, great food, and a large area that can accommodate large groups comfortably. I've gotten sandwiches for lunch, and the lamb chops for dinner and both were great and not overly expensive. They have decent drink specials and a cool little elevated lounge area where people can hang out once it turns into a full-blown bar. read more

I just can't give this place enough praise! The decor is outstanding the service is ALWAYS GOOD. The waiters really seem to love their job and they all are quick to serve you-even if they're not your waiter. Truly a great place. Get the lobster ravioli- to die for! You can have an outdoor seating without being "outdoors"...don't know what I mean? See for yourself. It is truly a hidden treasure. P.S Seriously, try the lobster ravioli. read more

Good place and the owners work very hard to keep the community happy. The food is good but not fancy. It is pretty standard Italian pizza and pasta type place with seafood and steaks dishes sprinkled. Nothing thought out of the box as far as the menu direction. The drinks from the bar are very good . I love the sangria. It is a pretty big place with a clean modern decor. I like sitting in the patio area with the fake little garden. The waiters are very cute and charming. read more

We have been here several times. We love the patio in the back. It's such a hidden treasure! We have had parties or 3-5 and once with a party of 18. No one has ever been disappointed. Their house salad is great, their bread and oil and garlic is wonderful to pick on and their hot antipasto is delicious. My favorite entree is the rigatoni bolognese but I have never had any one tell me they didn't like their meal. And if you like sangria, theirs is the best!! read more

A fun place to experience little Italy on Arthur Avenue. Sit in the festive area in the back and enjoy delicious pizza and fun drinks. They don't rush you and the prices are fair. read more

I don't know why I ordered from here again. I ordered the shrimp alfredo and baked clams. Clams had such a strong taste I couldn't finish them. The alfredo had no sauce. I had to open a can of Bertolli alfredo sauce I had at home, warm it up and add it. I wouldn't recommend this place. This is my second time here and I'm very disappointed. read more

Worst experience ever!!! Decided to go to Arthur Ave for some good Italian food settled on Michelangelo's as we saw they had good reviews. Unfortunately we were very disappointed they sat us in front of the kitchen as we listen to loud waiter staff conversations and were carryin'-on we could barely hear ourselves speak.. we spoke to hostess and she refused to accommodate us and very unprofessional.. food is overpriced and terrible will never revisit again read more

I have been to most restaurants on Arthur Ave and this is by far one of the most forgettable. The portion sizes are very generous and the drinks were fantastic, but the food was not of the same quality as I have come to expect from authentic Italian restaurants. If you know good italian cooking steer clear, but for a good time, great atmosphere, and great drinks, this place does the trick. read more

The food was very good. I had the Buffalo Wing Sauce Pizza and my friend had the Chicken Marsala - both were delicious. Our server was very attentive and we didn't have to call him once to fill our glasses. We didn't feel ignored nor hurried. Great food. Great place. Great service! Will definitely go back to try other menu items. read more

The food is amazing here. I've always gotten food delivered from here, and I received the happy hour flyer. I finally decided to go yesterday and the hostess sat us down, and I was delighted with the ambiance, not what I suspected(in a good way.) After ordering wine and appetizers, I asked my waiter about the happy hour special and he told me I was on the wrong side of the restaurant for it and the hostess should have told me before I sat. So if you go for happy hour, make sure to ask to be seated in correct area. Which was disappointing because I'm a mama on a budget. But besides that the service was great, very spacious if you have kids or someone with a disability. The food came out in great timing, and the wine was delicious. Best part is you feel like your outside while warm and sitting on the inside.Definitely going back, with my husband and two kids. read more

Came here on a Saturday for lunch, service was slow and there was barely anyone in there but the food makes up for it. WOW is all I gotta say. Pasta heaven. Large portions. Classic Italian dishes. I have no idea what the dipping oil was- but Jesus Christ, it was insanely good and nothing like I've ever had before. I'm getting hungry again just writing this review. read more

I live in California and a good friend of mine is a firefighter at a local firehouse. During such a crazy time with the Coronavirus, my husband and I wanted to send him and his firehouse brothers some food since they've been working nonstop. Michaelangelo's was SO sweet and willing to help first responders in their community that they took 30% off for them. That's AMAZING customer service. Anyplace who respects and appreciates first responders is a place I would recommend to anyone. The girl who took the order over the phone was so appreciative and professional. Thank you Michaelangelo's! In a time like this, it's so nice to see people wanting to help others. read more

I've been to Michaelangelo's quite a few times over the years. I've seen a steady decline in the quality of the food. in the past, they always made good on something that was wrong. was there for Mothers Day dinner. place looks the same. tables and chairs are still wobbly. cushions seem to be worn out. appetizers were just ok. dinners were good and plenty to eat. ordered dessert. coffee's and cappucino's were cold. all had to be sent back. my second cup was better but only half full. needed to ask for another cup. based on today's visit, I think its time to move and try somewhere else. read more
