Wish I could give 6 or 8 stars!!!! This place is superb! Old school vibe, perfect food, fast friendly service. We had our 39th wedding anniversary dinner here and it was great.

2023.04 I would highly recommend this restaurant. Their tomato sauce was the best we had ever had; their calzone was so tasty and fulfilling; the “taste of Italy” combo was a good way to try out multiple dishes. Friendly staff, quick service. A tip: the restaurant could get very busy for dinner time so come early if you can.

I was recommended to come eat dinner at this restaurant by a local resident. They didn't disappoint! I like the old-style, homey feeling of the place. It definitely has a family feeling and atmosphere. My server was very friendly, polite, and courteous. She brought out my salad and entree in a relatively short time. This is a place that must be visited if you like authentic Italian food!

One of the best Italian restaurants I have had the pleasure of dining at. Great location. Located in the Little Italy neighborhood of Niagara Falls. We parked a couple blocks away and knew we were in for a treat when I got out of the car. Oh that smell. I hope heaven smells like that. The food was absolutely was delicious. I had the lasagna. 10-12 layers of perfectly cooked pasta, ricotta, mozzarella cheese and the meat sauce might have been the best I have had. Wife had the meatball sandwich it was delicious. You will need your knife and fork. Sandwich is huge and covered in their delicious sauce. We both had salads and the rolled/pealed mozzarella was excellent. Excellent, fast, friendly service even though we were from Kansas City! Thank you for the perfect 38th Anniversary dinner.

Whole visiting the falls with mom and my niece, we were reaching super hungry levels, they requested pasta. And found this amazing local spot, it did not disappoint! I ordered the soup of the day and it was filling!!! Their tour of Italy special was very tasty. Their meatballs are made in house and you can have just that and be happy! Very delicious food, the atmosphere is very comfortable and service very friendly. Thank you.

Michael's was recommend when we asked a few locals about some good authentic Italian food. It's definitely a MUST when in the area! Such a quaint family owned diner style restaurant located in Niagara Falls' very own "Little Italy". Hearty portions served with lots of warmth...made us southerners feel right at home

Michael's is one of my favorites when I'm in town! Service is always great, and the food is too! The salad with the rolled mozzarella is the best part, though!

Crazy good food, crazy good service. We flew out this way from SF for a family wedding and we may have to use that excuse more often just so we can come back to this eden!! The sauce is amazing, the meat is seasoned to perfection, it was piping hot, and the presentation was so beautiful I forgot to take a picture until I was full!
