I love this place. It's a quiet onclave that nobody knows about by Fordham university. The seating is great and private...I ordered the chicken parmesan and it was topped with fresh mozzarella!!!! read more

OMG Amazing place with excellent Italian cuisine!! When you first walk in, it seems small until you walk past the pizza oven and to the back and wooola a huge ass patio with a bar..seems like you're outdoors but technically you're not. The food and service is top notch. Can be very romantic...take ur significant other. read more

Went to a large gathering here. Space was great with easy access to restrooms. Female bartenders were lukewarm, food was fresh and tasty. Dessert was unimpressive=Mass produced cookies and pastries always a fail in my book. read more

What a truly nice surprise. This place is pretty solid. I feel no matter what you choose you will absolutely love their food, I especially liked their Lobster Ravioli Pasta. Workers are extremely lovely and service is very quick. I really enjoyed it. read more

I call to inquire about a Grub hub delivery and the lady at the restaurant was very condescending. The way she answered my questions made it seem like I was lying and really did receive the order because the Uber driver indicated that I did. Instead of supporting me and helping me discovered why the Uber driver indicate that I did received the order. Truly disappointing. read more

When you go to a restaurant, you want to be amazed at the taste of the food. It doesn't happen very often but every thing I tasted here was um um delicious. I dream about this meal, the service was perfect, everything was perfect read more

Great little place. Had dinner here with the family after going to the Botanical Gardens to see the train show. Great service and friendly staff. Would definitely come back. read more

It is with a heavy heart that I change my rating for this place. I used to love it here and the food was great but I came by on Sunday and ordered the healthy heart pasta which was supposed to have all kinds of vegetables in it- on angel hair and asked for them to add shrimp. The server decided to give me instead angel hair Alfredo with broccoli and shrimp. Now, I'm lactose intolerant. So the minute I ate it I asked if it had any dairy- he said no because I ordered the veggie pasta that came with a garlic sauce instead and so I continued eating. Eventually I had to stop because my stomach just wasn't feeling right- so we requested the pasta to go and asked for the check. Surprise surprise, the check said what my stomach knew from the beginning, the server gave me Alfredo pasta and almost killed me. How irresponsible can you be? You don't know peoples allergies so you can't give them whatever you want and if they ask you, you should answer. Imagine if I had a severe allergy? This place would've legit killed me. Never coming back to this irresponsible establishment and highly upset they made me sick for two days! DO NOT COME HERE! read more

Loveeeeeeeeeeeee them ! The ambiance, service, food everything !! Lobster ravioli is definitely a must !

Rat!!!! Omg! There's Rats. Seriously! They do a great job hiding traps. Check behind the paintings over by the water fall. It's traps everywhere! A plastic rock which is a Rat trap. If you're underage but want to drink. Feel free to go indulge. They don't check I.D. When it rains the whole entire roof leaks. They pick the fruit up with their hands and the paper in the basket they put your bread in his reused. But most importantly if you go in there try and grab a seat away from the wall. Don't want the pets to grab your food. And you don't get your proper pours you get 1 once pours each time. read more

True Little Italy experience. Superb genuine Italian cuisine. Attentive service. Romantic setting, under the sparkling lights in a garden setting. If you've been disappointed with the pseudo-Little Italy experience on Manhattan's Mulberry Street, venture up to the Fordham area of the Bronx to experience the real thing. It's well worth the short trip on Metro North from Grand Central. read more

We had a graduation dinner here this afternoon and had the best experience and meal! Our reservation for 10 was honored right when we walked in and we were brought back to the indoor patio which had an old Italian feel. Our waiter was very attentive but never overbearing and everything moved very smoothly! The found was absolutely incredible. We started with the caprese salad, arancini balls and calamari and everything got eaten up very quickly. We ordered a variety of dishes from chicken and eggplant Parm, salmon, ravioli and linguini with clam sauce and all dishes were enjoyed. What a gem in the downtown area! read more

Lost Coal Coals are a treasured piece of New York pizza history. When one pops up into the consciousness of newspapers and online magazines, all pizza hounds go crazy. Somehow, though, this one fell under the radar. Housed in what was once a string of bakeries (Pietro's, Patsy's, and probably more), this coal oven is one of the largest I've ever seen - it's on the order of Al Santillo' s in Elizabeth, New Jersey. It's worth getting a pie just to inspect the thing. The eating area is as expansive. Beyond the small dining room to the backyard are a bar, a large patio, and an upper deck of eating space - all open all seasons. The area is Fordham heavy, but you're more likely to see well-to-do visitors and khaki pants coming here. And as for the pizza... it's not bad. Opened: 2009 ( Patsy's Bakery in 1942, original build unknown) Distinction: Bronx's Little Italy's little known coal read more

Nice place good environment, good for kids! Nice and quiet. Great family place! Great sangria! Lol

Wasn't that special , the food was warm , inside the restaurant the ground is uneven , to much drinks can end bad lol

Nice ambience outdoors but the food was bland. There were 6 of us dining together and all found our dinners to be unimpressive. Lacks seasonings and nothing special in the dishes. One of us had to send our pasta back because it was left undercooked and was literally hard when you tried to bite into it. It was supposed to be rigatoni with meat sauce and there was no meat! It was just a plate of pasta with marinara for $20! None of us were left with the desire to even try their desserts. Our server was very nice. read more

I visited this restaurant with some family and friends. The food was really good our only complaint was that the waiter forgot about our drinks, but he stated that there was a new bartender so that delayed things. Overall, it's a great place to enjoy dinner with family and/or friends! I would definitely recommend and will be coming back. read more

This little gem was found after an unexpected flat tire (repair shop was awesome too!) & hanger Monday start to the week. Family style attention to patrons, feel & taste all around. Well served food portions & a nice pour! Family owned & run. Helped turn a bad start to the week into a new go-to spot. Recommend: Calamari, chickparm, Fettuccine Alfredo and baked clams (I didn't get to order those but they passed our table) & a+ Mezcal gimlet. read more

This place surprised me! It doesn't look like much on the outside, but on the inside...WOW. The service was great. Our server was really nice. Food was great. I had the chicken parmigiana with vegetables. Also ordered the pitcher of sangria which was lovely as well. The inside was really pretty. Nothing flashy, but very relaxing. There was a bar in the corner to sit at as well. I'll definitely be back here soon! read more

This place has a great atmosphere. At first, I thought it was just a pizza shop but when we met the hostess in the front, she ushered us to the back, which opened up to an enclosed garden. We ordered the wine, cheese and meat to start off the evening. The cheese, meats, fruits, nuts and crackers where fresh and very tasty. We selected a Riesling to keep it on the lighter side and the waiters recommendation was right in point with our pallet. Lastly, we ordered the pear salad and shrimp linguini and again, food was right on point. Highly recommend this place to anyone that wants to come to Arthur Avenue and enjoy in some great food. read more

The food here is good, however customer service sucks!! I was not greeted by my waiter, was not checked upon after I received my food, didn't even receive a smile. I ordered a salmon which was really good, one colleague ordered the margarita pizza which was blah. We had baked clams which was ok. The sangria was well made. The atmosphere is nice, doesn't even seem like you're in the Bronx. Reminded me of a speakeasy spot because when you enter it looks like a simple pizza shop yet when you go to towards the back it's a different scenery. read more

Located in Little Italy in the Bronx, this is a place worth checking out . The outdoor seating area is a plus. If you ever make it before 7pm on a weekday for the happy hour. You should definitely try their their $5 Sangria goes well with the calamari. I love their pizza selection as well. This place is worth checking out. read more

Michaelangelo's - Calamari & Michaelangelo's signature pizza - Lounges Near Me - Bronx, New York

We ordered dinner for delivery tonight. The coconut shrimp was heavily breaded and sooo dry! My dad thought it was chicken because the shrimp was that chewy and stringy! The eggplant parm was sour, definitely past its shelf life. The fried calamari tasted so fishy and definitely tasted like it came from a frozen pack. The only edible item from all the dishes we ordered was the broccoli rabe and the mediocre chicken parm - I mean how can an Italian restaurant mess those up, right? I would never order from here again and I definitely do not recommend this restaurant. read more

Absolutely love the atmosphere here, fried calamari was a little bland and entrees took a while to come out but overall was worth the wait. Ordered the rigatoni Bolognese and It was delicious. My cousin had the sangria and liked It a lot, definitely coming back. read more

I've been here a few times and never been disappointed. When you walk into the back of this place you feel like you're completely removed from the Bronx. You feel like you're eating outside at a tropical resort, which is strange for an Italian place, but I couldn't get enough of it. The eggplant rollatini from the hot antipasto was delicious. (Mental note: order eggplant rollatini when I go back). The coconut shrimp was probably the most flavorful that I've ever had. My personal favorite dish that I've had is the pear salad. It was really light, fresh and a perfect pairing with the sangria on a hot summer day. I can't say that the pizza was memorable, but I think it's because I wasn't crazy about the toppings I chose (broccoli rabe and sausage). I try to venture out a bit on Arthur Ave, but I always end up back at MichaelAngelo's. read more

Love this place... Great bar, atmosphere and food has consistently while prices have remained incredibly reasonable. Had my wedding here and everyone had a great time. They set up the place really nicely. People felt like they were in an exotic place because of the great courtyard setting with the waterfall bar and tropical plants and not in the BX! Bobby and his wife (owners) made sure we had an amazing time and we did! Months later, people were still talking about how great the place was... And more importantly, how good the food was. Went back months later and it's only gotten better. read more

Chicken francese was overly lemon-y making it acrid. Also overly salty. Accompanying pasta was of uninspired seemingly processed food origin. 16$ disappointment. My partner's lobster ravioli was solid although not repeat performance worthy or worthy of the 17$ pricetag. Ricotta cheesecake w orange zest was indeed delicious and rich enough for two. I agree with a previous reviewer on a funny tasting coke... The water had a funny taste to it as though it had been spiked with something. Service was initially lightening fast and very attentive. There were only 3 parties total in the restaurant and at least 3 waiters. Then it got puzzlingly slow as we waited 10 min after they took our completed main course dishes. We were staring at two idle chatting waiters the whole time. Finally we had to ask for the dessert menu. It took an additional total time of 25 minutes from completing the main course to finally obtaining a slice of cake and getting out of there. Ambiance is equivalent to palm tree-d tiki porch meets Italian themed lawn furniture with random white leather couches. read more

This place is hard to rate overall, so let me break it down: Ambience: 5 stars, cute little back patio and comfy seats Service: 0 stars. Literally took 30 minutes each time we wanted a drink or to order food. No exaggeration. Yet they add gratuity to the bill, so there no real motivation for them to change. Food: pizza was amazing 5 stars, the bread was nice too. As other reviewers mentioned, the mussels were inedible, super dry, and seemed very old. 0 stars. Drinks: 0 stars: if you could actually obtain a drink (I just gave up at one point), stick to beer or wine because the mixed drinks had no alcohol in it. So insider tip: sit in the back, order beer and pizza as soon as you walk in and probably order multiple drinks at the same time. read more

This is a drinks review only: I have been here twice for drinks and have found this to be the best happy hour spot in the neighborhood so far! They have a slew of specials, their back patio is huge and gorgeous and their bartenders are extremely friendly and attentive. The drinks themselves are nothing really to write home about, but this is definitely a better place to go for a cheap drink with friends than some of the places that might offer better choices (for example, Roberto's has great wine and cocktails, but is more expensive and less casual). This is a great place to go to with a group or by yourself after work if you're in the Fordham Rd. area looking for a good loungy atmosphere. read more

Didn't like the food. And extremely expensive. The waiter was nice. I will not come back and don't recommend it.

I love this place, around the area this is my favorite one, -quality and quantity-. These people are so amazing on pasta, sandwiches, hamburgers, soups, attention, blah blah. I've tried many dishes here, so I have no complaint yet about this place. I love the "penne a la bolognesa" and many others dishes they lovely prepare. read more

I came here for dinner with a friend who was visiting from London. The food atmosphere and drinks were all good. Will visit again. read more

Came here with my fiancé from the yelp ratings I read. The ambience was great, great atmosphere and service. The food was good but we had a few issues. We were never offered or even given bread in the beginning of our meal. As more customers showed up they were given the bread so that was kinda strange. The coke my fiancé ordered tasted like there was some rum or whiskey added. We thought it was the glass so we had them give us another glass but the same problem ensued. There was no alcohol but killed the coke flavor. We ordered the fettuccine Alfredo and lobster ravioli. Both were good. The tiramisu was amazing to end the meal. Tip: gratuity is already included when you get the bill. Overall the place is nice but I would look for a better place to eat. read more

Wow! We went to a reunion party here and had a great time. The food was spectacular and the service incredibly good. Cheers to a terrific restaurant in a neighborhood world famous for food. read more

My family and I needed somewhere to eat close to Fordham University; we looked around for a place and ultimately found Michaelangelo's. The service was perfect, the atmosphere was just beautiful, the food was absolutely delicious, and well basically I'm just saying I don't know how anyone couldn't like this place. I would give it more stars if I could. read more

So far, this is my favorite place to go for dinner on Arthur Avenue. We were there on a Saturday night, we got seated right away and the place, at 8pm or so, was hopping. In the summer, if you can sit outside on the patio area in back, do it. It has a roof, and it has AC, but it is still sort of like being outside. We had the lobster stuffed ravioli, the lemon chicken, the caprese salad, and who knows what else. The house Montepulciano is excellent and the service is warm and friendly. Absolutely go here. You'll be greeted like you are family, the food is excellent, and the prices are what you'd expect. read more
