Don Michael's

I was very excited about are soups We ordered pasta fagioli and Italian wedding soups Pasta fagioli looks like bean soup and taste like salt The wedding soup had no taste our garlic bread was soggy and not toasted. So disappointed Salad greens wilted.

This is a family owned restaurant located inside the plaza on Decatur and Loan mountain. If you are expecting fancy, this is not it. I was on the fence at first because of its location but decided to give them a try anyway. Upon entry I noticed a distinct smell and couldn't figure out what it was. It wasn't overbearing but it wasn't pleasant. The place was small and decor is cute and simple with a home-like feel.We arrived at 6pm no reservations and were the only there so we were immediately seated. Our server was Kara (or close I'm sorry if I got it wrong) who was absolutely amazing. She was friendly, attentive, was patient explaining the menu, and continued to check on us. We ordered, the garlic bread with cheese, Caesar salad, meatball, chicken parmesan with penne vodka, and the chicken chature I believe that's what it's called. Side note; they offer happy hour prices from 4-6.The complimentary garlic bread was delicious with fresh chopped garlic. The Caesar salad was simple and was also very good. They used the nice green chopped Romaine leaves with real Parmesan. We did find a piece of plastic on the salad unfortunately and didn't mention it, as this didn't stop me from eating it and we all make mistakes lol The meat ball was tender and the tomato sauce tasted fresh and not overly sweet like most places. The coating on the chicken was perfect and was cooked to perfection. Overall, both chicken dishes were made fresh with quality ingredients, plated very nicely and were really good. The portions are also huge so the price point is reasonable. We both took half our meals home. However, both dishes could have used a bit more seasoning. My chicken parmesan could have used a little salt, garlic, and Italian spices and my boyfriend said the same. Still good but just providing my feedback and based on reviews a lot of feel the same. For all of it, we paid about $45 and I added a $15 tip because she deserves more than the average 20%. My overall experience was great, I will be coming back, and I will be recommending this place. I would just suggest adding a bit more seasoning, looking into the weird smell going entry, and advice that the cook wear gloves at all times. He was wearing gloves when we came in but I then witnessed him using his bare hand to separate the linguini noodles

I've been very satisfied with this restaurant so that's why I keep going back.Today I had the veal parm and while the sauce was amazing per usual, the meat was hard to chew.Service was excellent.Will keep eating there...

Based on reviews and closer to home, we gave it a try. Small...I mean small place. Service was ok, but food was really delicious. They mastered their tomato sauce - nice job! I say give it a go - it's not too bad.

So looks like they are accepting reservations unfortunately when I call they didn't State they were having reservations spoke with the young lady named Margaret drove 25 minutes from my location to have dinner with my goddaughter on Valentine's Day and unfortunately they don't have anything available to 8:30 p.m. so with this being said I have to give it one star

Found this place, yelping the whole way home from Cali earlier today. So glad we came here.First, the garlic bread was more like garlic, butter and a little bread, very tasty!The Wedding Soup, definitely home made, and one of the best I have ever had, not only did it have meatballs, but it also had shredded chicken.The appetizer of meatballs, Wow! Just like Mom used to make.The pasta carbonara, had a rich creamy garlicy cream sauce, lots of bacon, was way too much to eat, ended up taking half home.the linguine alfredo, another rich and creamy sauce, wifey could finish either.All food came out piping hot!! and in pretty good time.The lemonchello cake, i was so full, but i had to try it, had a good lemon tart taste, and the cake was moist.The staff was great!! A real Mom and Pop restaurant, so glad we found this place, we will definitely be back, there is so much more to try..

Decided to try this resturant hidden away in the corner strip mall that I had driven by several times. We had reservations and got seated immediately. Probably good we them early since most of the tables looked like they were reserved. Staff was friendly and attentive. Food was all delicious and we left satisfied and full. Overall, we had a great dining experience.

Food was good. Lots of butter and oil and everything that makes a comfort dish. Tried a couple items while I was in town, had it delivered, so I didn't visit the restaurant. Tried the chicken parm and carbonara. Good enough I would try them again. Anything with cheese has me.

Excellent food , Excellent service, authentic flavor !!This place have everything you can ask from a local italian restaurant

This place always hits the Italian spot. Service is always good, and the portions are great. Love the Chicken Piccata, the Vodka Ziti rocks too.
