Cafe Michelangelo

Great place for pizza and drinks! I’ve been going here for quite some time but haven’t gotten around to writing about them. This place gets bumping especially in the summer since they have a bocci court and they’ve won awards for their court actually. This neighborhood joint serves really great pizza and beer. I usually get this huge sandwich I believed named after the restaurant which has prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, tomatoes and roasted red peppers and onions YUM! I’m a SUCKER for fresh mozzarella. It’s two meals in one. Great place to meet up with friends so check it out now that the weather is nice. Bonus plenty of parking.

Service was slow and unfriendly. all reviews were ranting about there brick oven pizza so we ordered a margherita pizza, pizza came out with no basil or fresh moz cheese. it tastes nothing like pizza oven pizza just a classic pizza shop pie, so disappointed and will never be back so don’t bother

Ok so I recently discovered this place and got a tad addicted from the jump. First of all, this place is always packed. Every table full and the bar is in full swing as well. They have 3 dining areas, and also outdoor seating. TVs around the bar area and an outdoor stage for music. They have music several times a week and even a bocce league which I though was really cool!
Now the food. Brick oven pizzas which are absolutely fresh and delicious. The pasta are beyond delicious. The sauces and pasta shapes are just what you would find in Italy. They have several specials to choose from on any given night, never disappoints. They offer take out too which I found pretty cool and convenient.
State of the art espresso machine is also there for a strong brew!
Needless to say. This is a true gem to find in the far northeast. I’ll definitely be back again and again to chill in one of the gazebos while watching the bocce club play!

I was at Café Michelangelos, With seven people the service was very slow we had to wait for a beer or mixed drinks for a half an hour more each time. He brought out the food some of the food that was cold all ready and when you would if need something even come back 10 minutes later. Bad service. So we decided to give them only 15% tip because of the service .My wife went to the bathroom and when she came out it was mumbling he worked his ass off I did not get a good tip. He bought tip back to our table so we ended up giving them 20% but we would never go back there again. He had weird first thing so I can’t remember what it was. One star is too much for that place. I’ll give it a half a star. I’m in late 50s I never had a tip brought back to me in my life. I would say he’s a waiter in middle 50s maybe they should get somebody younger and nicer. Also the bathrooms were dirty and you could lock the one the bathroom doors since third unisex. They should be ashamed of themselves. I went in there one bathroom and Literally was standing in urine. don’t they have cleaners for the place and my wife used other bathroom in main Room she said the floor was dirty and smells like urine.

Great pizza the best in the area !!!
This is a great place for all female I just have a good time hear I recommend this place to anybody who like pizza and Italian food !!!
The stuff is very friendly and the food is good
Thank you !!!

A great place to dine in. With regard to take out its very disappointing due to the fact that they don’t seem to deliver, and even if you wish to do a pickup, there is a limited menu available online. For instance, the pizza is missing from their online menu, and its a shame since they got excellent selection, but I doubt their staff is even aware of this fact. In any regard, fix up your online menu if you haven’t already done so since you already lost some business over this as we had to order from another place as a result of this, which should be easy to fix since they do have an online menu on their web site, so just make sure its comprehensive and identical to their regular menu.

This is a great place to eat and just have a good time! Friendly employees, good atmosphere, great food and quick service. Highly recommended!

Food is decent however — Don’t sit at bar. Will never come back after how rude and bitchy the Bartender was. Left without ordering anything at all. Absolutely awful customer service. Never have I felt so unwelcomed at a bar or restaurant.

Great place, good food! Have been coming here for years! My favorites: grilled chicken caesar salad, grilled chicken Alfredo pasta, fried calamari and scallops in butter sauce! Yum!

Great pizza. Love the lunch buffet from 11 to 3, it always has at least four or five hot items and a couple of salads plus pizza. During the summer they have bocce courts.

I ate here a few years ago with my best friend while I was planning my wedding. I had the stuffed shells which were delicious. The waitress was nice also. What disappointed me was that I ordered the cheese cake for dessert and the waitress came back saying they were out of it. It wasn’t even that late yet.

Decent Italian. Running on autopilot for a long time though. Could use a menu update IMO.

The service was bad and the food was only okay. The waiter couldn’t do basic wait service such as refill glasses without being asked. He cut us off in the middle of us ordering to leave and go bring someone else their food. The appetizer was brought out at the same time as the meal, so what was the point in even ordering one? There were 3 people eating at our table, and 2 of them had their food brought out and had finished it before the third’s even arrived. And again, none of the food was that great so it’s not even someplace I would return for takeout.

Although I can’t say it’s absolutely amazing, it’s consistent and that counts for a lot. Juliano runs the show and makes sure everyone is happy. On occasion they run out of a special but they we can usually find something we want and the house balsamic is worthy of drinking. If you want something local give it a try.

Food is really good here! Service is pretty good as well. The only thing i don’t like is the plastic tablecloths. They make the place look cheap. Also i think the desserts are a little too expensive for their sizes. 6 $ for a small piece of Tiramisu! Also it is a really big place but only 2 bathrooms (which are both for females and males!). Pretty small parking lot too. Great pizza, calzones and strombolis here!

Do NOT order seafood here. Stick to the pasta dishes. I ordered a special: Orata with grilled vegetables and polenta which tasted like charcoal. The fish was cooked whole and cleaned table side. It was bland and overdone. The fish bones were extremely large. I could barely eat it. I ordered the tomato caprese and it had no seasoning whatsoever. The antipasti had two small slices of meat. The plate was filled with iceberg lettuce and had a heaping spoonful of tuna salad on the top. Tuna salad on antipasto? My brother got mussels with linguine and it had a nice chunk of grit. I was very disappointed this time. I’ve been here before and it was always good. I didn’t have the heart to make a stink. I don’t think it would be mattered anyway.

I just love this intimate family owned restaurant. The brushetta and calamari and shrimp diablo, seafood salad, any salad, pizza. everything I have ever tried here was amazing. My favourite place in the northeast philadelphia. Also, the desserts are phenomenal. Especially the canolli, or sherbet in a peach or a lemon shell. They serve a beautiful assortment of gelato. The outdoor seating is beautiful as you are surrounded by a growing blooming grapevine. There is a lovely bocci area for children. In the cooler evenings and months there are outdoor heaters. Wish they would pave the back parking lot.

Love the food there!
Parmagana pizza (prosciutto spinach) and steamed mussels with Alfredo sauce and white wine!
Audience is ok, sometimes very loud but OK in general! Love the live music in the evening!!!

Epic fail. Tried to stay in the neighborhood for a date night, and figured we’d give this place a try. Started off with the calamari. It tasted like cardboard. I literally had to take it out of my mouth because I could not swallow it. We ordered the chicken parm and veal parm for our entrees, figuring that these would be pretty tough to mess up. We were wrong. They both tasted like they had been in the freezer for weeks, and the gravy (sauce) tasted like Ragu. Needless to say, we will not be returning.

When you pull into the parking lot, the place appears to be kind of shall but once inside you realize that is actually pretty big inside. They have 2 inside areas as well as an outside deck area. We had the fried calamari as well as the brucsetta and both were great and the main courses were enormous. I would definitely go back and would definitely recommend it to others.
