    Took my wife here for her birthday. Michaels never disappoints. It’s been a long time since I’ve been there, and it’s just as good as I remember. Staff is excellent, Ambiance is very old school and charming, and the food easily one of the best in the city. The veal chop parmigiana “smash job” was no joke a 10/10. Genuinely a great neighborhood joint.

    We had a wonderful date night at Michael's of Brooklyn! The ambiance was cozy, enhanced by live piano music that set the perfect mood. We started with the beef carpaccio, which was fresh and flavorful. The osso buco and chicken piccata for the main course was tender and rich. I’ve enjoined my favorite Chianti that paired beautifully with a meal. To finish, we shared the warm apple crumble with vanilla ice cream, which was the perfect sweet ending. Overall, it was a fantastic evening filled with delicious Italian classic food and a charming atmosphere.
