I ordered catering from Michelangelo for my birthday dinner party on 9/14/24 and it was AMAZING! 10 out of 10 recommend catering from them! They were so flexible, stayed within my budget and delivered to the home where my party was being held. The best part? The food WAS AMAZING. I ordered salads and pastas and most of it was gone by the end of the night! We even had many guests take home food -- it was that delicious. Highly recommend having them cater your party. This is a family owned business that's been around since 1997 so you'll also be supporting a local restaurant!

I returned to Los Angeles and went straight to Michelangelo. It's still the same restaurant, with excellent food and service. I tried the brunch, and it was incredible. I ordered the avocado toast and the mimosa, and they were delicious--a must-try.

Nice spot to enjoy good Italian cuisine. Happy hour prices are a nice deal. Enjoyed the crostini appetizer and the linguine with vongole for the main. Service was good and friendly. Ambiance is cozy, with a small dining room. Parking lot on site is small and free of charge. Would return.

As a vegetarian, I often find it hard to find pasta more interesting than macaroni + sauce. Michelangelo had so many great option to choose from, and my Fettuccine Ortolana was amazing! The service was very attentive, the food was delivered quickly and I had a good time having dinner on their cute patio. Well done, Michelangelo :)

That's amore! We live close by and I literally drive by this restaurant every morning on my way to work yet somehow it took us YEARS to eat here. And when we finally did, it was so good that we returned the next weekend to try different meals...well, almost...can't say no to the bruschetta and the spumoni! We felt so welcomed and our servers have been so friendly and attentive every time we've been in. The space is lovely...I really like the covered patio. Since I work in an office all day, I flock to restaurants that have outdoor seating options where I can breathe and enjoy the fresh air. Oh...AND there's an adjacent parking lot...hard to come by in this neck of the woods. Do yourself a favor..."snap out of it!" And go eat here!

Having spent the day in Pasadena, we had an opportunity to return to our favorite Italian restaurant - Michelangelo Ristorante - located in nearby Silver Lake - where we met friends for an early dinner. Greeted at the door by super amiable owner Antonio, we were seated at a comfortable indoor table away from the others - as is our preference - to allow for some nice quiet conversation. In addition to the large indoor seating area there is also a large outdoor patio on which heaters are provided. It was relatively early on Sunday evening, but they had a good crowd which - given the hour - was testament to how wonderful - and popular - this eatery is insofar as quality of food, pricing, portion size and service. Have I said this is our favorite Italian restaurant? ;-) Even given how busy the restaurant was, our friendly server came over right away with menus and he took our drink orders. For me it was ice tea - no charge for the frequent refills. For an appetizer we ordered the "crostini di prosciutto e mozzarella" to share, described as "toasted bread with prosciutto, sage and fresh mozzarella." Perfection. So good you have to pace yourself in order to savor each bite.  For my entree, I ordered the chicken parmesan, with pasta as my included side. Delicious and served in a potion so large that as hungry as I was, I had to take half of it home with me. My partner had them custom make bucatini with their arrabbiata sauce (spicy tomato sauce). They were more than happy to oblige his custom request. He loved it. Our friends both ordered the pollo fontina special of the day, described as "sautéed chicken breast, fontina cheese, prosciutto, mushrooms, Marsala wine glaze sauce, mashed potatoes and sautéed vegetables." They've had it before and were extremely pleased to have an opportunity to have it again. For dessert we always have the home-made zuccotto. Their zuccotto falls under the heading of "to die for." Zuccotto is a fabulous, creamy Italian dessert cake described on their menu as "semi-frozen, chilled dessert made with three kinds of butter cake with ice cream, mixed nuts and a touch of Bailey's & Grand Marnier." It is mouthwateringly delicious. It is worth going off your diet for and doing penance later. After the first bite you will regret having ordered it to share. You will notice in the attached photo that a couple of bites have already been taken of the zuccotto as I could not get my cell phone cam out quick enough before it was attacked. We have been to Michelangelo's a number of times now and try to make a point to treat ourselves whenever we find ourselves in the area. We find the restaurant comfortable, the service is prompt, friendly and attentive, the food is consistently excellent, the portions are generous and pricing is extremely reasonable especially given what you find elsewhere in LA. It is with great pleasure that I highly recommend Michelangelo's. If you've never been and you are in search of good Italian food - give them a try. And if you've been in the past - it's probably time to go back!
