Michael’s Italian Restaurant

Amazing italian food. Pasta is homemade. Meatballs are fantastic and the red sauce is perfect. The ravioli is superb. Never had anything there that wasn’t…

Was our favorite years ago before moving to So. Cal. After 10 years this place is still amazing. Glad we’re moving back to Elkhart so Michael’s can be our favorite restaurant again!

Another great find thanks to Unilocal.Got in early for lunch about 11:30am which was right on time. Because when I left about 12:30ish the place was packed. I’ll keep this review short, lol. Garlic cheese Bread app with marina sauce… delish! BLT… happiness in mouth. Not the biggest BLT I’ve ever had, but for $ 4.95 you get just the right amount with great flavor. Myself and coworker ate for about $ 22 bucks including sodas. Great prices, tasty grub, laid back atmosphere, good customer service. If I was a local I’d visit them often.

This restaurant has been a family favorite for as long as I can remember. I once went here when I was 16 with my mom for a little date night and she forgot her wallet and only had her checkbook. We left a check for the meal and dashed out the back of the restaurant like a dine and dash… they cashed the check and we still laugh about it! I had the pleasure of being in town visiting family last week and we decided it was time to visit an old favorite. Service was excellent, she anticipated our every need before we could even vocalize it. My fettucini alfredo was delicious as always, in fact everything was good. The only thing you could hear from our table was laughter, the sound of food being shoveled into our mouths and chewing. A perfect location for a small family reunion, to run into to your favorite neighbors and yummy home cooking italian cuisine! Thank you for a lifetime of delicious food and even better memories!

Décor is simple, homey and not fussy.
The full bar and simple wine selection is just enough without being too much.
Our waitress was Jennifer, she was super knowledgeable about the menu and even explained that the Cesar salad was a bit different and made sure we got what we wanted.
Substitutions were no problem. Meatballs were yummy and filling.
The pistachio/​chocolate/​cherry combo ice cream with the funny name was delicious.
Price point was great, two adults ate well with one appetizer, wine and dessert for under 80 bucks !!
Go eat here, you won’t be disappointed!

You can’t go wrong with Michaels. Everything is as good as it has always been and the service was outstanding as it was 20 years ago.

Wonderful evening last night at Michael’s! The food and service are always exceptional and the place was buzzing last night full of locals. Michael’s has been a long time local favorite and the tradition continues.

We ate there on February 15^th, we had just a short wait and were seated. It took over an hour for the waitress to come back and tell me they were all out of the meal I had ordered. It then took another hour for us to get our food. Waitress did not seem to be to concerned and had what I would consider a bad attitude. No complaints on the food, it was hot and very good. Neighborhood is not the best either. I would be hesitant to eat there again.

Michael’s is right next to my workplace which is great because this will definitely become my new regular lunch spot.
Have gone twice and thew first thing that impressed me was the speed of service. We were sat and waited on within 5 minutes of arriving. Food was fantastic as well, at a price that I would dare to say is a steal. A friendly staff and warm atmosphere are just icing on the cake. 10 out of 10, will do business again

Pizza has a great crispy crust and very flavorable sauce. Stay clear of the eggplant Parmesan it looked like six heavily crusted hockey pucks it was so bad I couldn’t eat it and the great waitress discounted my order.

Had dinner tonight. My bf got the calzone (it was delish) and I got the chicken strips (also delish)! We will def be going bk!

I finally made it there after wanting to check it out of over four years. Well, the service was one of the best features of this local, family owned and operated establishment. The pizza was really good, I thought the cheese was the best part, besides the thin, hand-​tossed crust. Tried the cheese and crackers– definitely a fan favorite, as the server recommended it right away. They have all the Italian favorites– including Spumoni for dessert. I would eat there again.

Good sandwich, nice people and a good bar… if you’re in the area, trust me, its the best around. Grab the italian sub and a beer, sit at the bar and get top notch treatment and watch a little sportscenter on the flatscreen… its a good way to spend some time if you find yourself in elkhart.

The food is great. The service is ok.

Michael’s is an Italian restaurant from the food right down to Dean Martin crooning «That’s Amore.» They do a decent lunch business and recognize that people have to return to work on time. The evenings are a different matter. The service, while attentive and competent, tends to run on the slow side. If you’re in a hurry you might make a different choice, but if you’re in the mood for fine food that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg, good music and good service, then Michael’s is a good choice. Have the cheese and crackers for an appetizer; you won’t regret it.
