Mike & Angelo's

Family dining with pasta. I've only had spaghetti and meatballs. It's Northern Italian so not terribly flavorful but good. I order 3-4 extra meatballs. It's good value, good, easy service.

Honestly, I used to love going to Mike & Angelo's. It was a great place for a large group, the pizza was good, and their other dishes seemed to always satisfy other people (I only ate the pizza). After a long break from there (10+ years) I returned last night and it was the same, but not the same. The decor doesn't seem to have changed much in the past decade. There's some new glass between booths, most likely a remnant of Covid times. The interior is aimed to invoke a feel of Italy is my guess. It's quaint, not amazing. The service was good, we were seated quickly and the food took a little while but that wasn't a big deal really. Our waitress was great and checked on us often. No complaints here. The food though has taken a nose dive, in my opinion. I am not writing this lightly or with hurtful intentions. The reality is, I didn't even take pictures because I didn't even want to write this review. Unfortunately, I feel I should. The sauce that came out with the mozzarella sticks and cheese covered garlic bread was basically tomato sauce. It lacked spices of any kind or flavor beyond warm tomato. The mozz sticks were decent. The garlic bread seemed to be just cut skinny Italian loaves drowned in the premade garlic butter with parsley you see used in gas stations by the gallon. It wasn't crispy either, which I really expected it to be. I ordered a large cheese, sausage, mushroom pizza and had hope when the waitress offered me fresh mushrooms. I can't imagine anyone would choose canned over fresh, but I guess it's an option for the less discerning crowd. The pizza was fine. The crust area lacked ingredients for about an inch to an inch and a half, making it dry and bland. The pieces in the middle had all the flavors and they were decent. The biggest complaint I would have is the crust. It's a thin crust, which I like, but it was soggy and not cooked crispy. I would like my very tiny squares of pizza to be able to hold up their own weight and not require me to basically ball them up to eat them.The chicken Parmesan should be avoided at all costs. When it was set down in front of my wife I was sad for her. The chicken literally looked like a potato at first, but it was because it was just a deep fried chicken breast. The same, I am guessing, as you would get if you just ordered fried chicken. The sauce was laid on so heavily it was a swimming pool for the noodles. Personally, I like Al dente, the noodles were cooked way past that and were chewy.It saddens me to say it, but without a massive overhaul in their food, I wouldn't feel right recommending anything other than driving past this place to eat. Stay home and make frozen pizza and box pasta with sauce instead.

We came for dinner with friends on a weeknight and were so surprised that they close at 8pm!The drink preparations were classic Wisconsin - they used bright red maraschino cherries (no dark cherry or Luxardo options), served with lots of ice in short glasses and overall too sweet. Should have stuck with beer!The pizza was delicious. We ordered a medium sausage and mushroom with giardinera on half of it. The crust was extremely thin and crispy as we are used to getting in Chicago. The size was smaller than a Chicago medium so there was not a bit left!Not sure how they can survive given the lack of patrons and short hours unless maybe they do a money carry out or delivery business and maybe are mobbed on weekends!

Used to love coming here... but literally... they are open for only 4 hours on Sundays and every time we've tried to go have dinner they are closing early and can't seat us. Again tonight... we got there almost an hour before posted closing time... couldn't seat us because they were closing early, and we couldn't even order food to go. You can't even stay open for FOUR hours???

Had the lasagna and way too much oregano was really overwhelming, next time had the fried chicken and was cooked way too long, very dark brown, was looking forward to it, after seeing it being served in the past it looked perfect but unfortunately when I ordered the chicken it looked nothing like what I saw in the past. All dried out

sat in a booth.. food on the walls & holes!!! server was very nice... nothing special with the pizza we got !will not go back!

Order perch dinners today, very disappointed. Not the same perch they had, which was delicious. This had no favor, skin was tough, old fish was butterflied, this was not worth 5.00 let alone 15.00. Will never order their perch again. Nice paid 15.00 for a baked potato which was good but not for 15.00. Go back to the old recipe!

What a complete disappointment! Our family came in to celebrate our Mom's heavenly birthday today. We normally go somewhere else, but decided to go here because our Mom enjoyed your restaurant. I should have known how things were going to go when my 85 year old Dad asked for coffee and our waitress looked at him like he was crazy. She said she wasn't sure if you had coffee. I asked her if someone could make some. She was irritated and said she would check and came back to say all you had was decaf.So we order drinks. My Dad settled for Pepsi/coke whatever it was. awhile later we ordered our meals. We sat there for some time and our waitress came past our table several times and totally ignored us. During the time she was ignoring our table, she was talking to some guy at the bar so obviously not too busy to tend to her tables. The last time she walked by, my husband said excuse me, can we get more drinks at the table. She walked away with a nasty look on her face and when she came back to the table, she said "maybe if you wouldnt have been rude asking for drinks, you would have gotten better service." In no way was my husband rude. All he said was excuse me to get her attention. We are not rude people and are always kind! To be treated this way was absolutely uncalled for. She stood at our table arguing with us about the situation, while the table behind us looked on at her with disgust and couldn't believe what they were hearing from the waitress. I told her we wanted a different waitress and she ignored my request. I finally asked if we could speak to a manager and she blatantly told me that "We don't have managers for rude customers!" At that point we got up and as we were walking out we were told to "have the night you deserve!" We will never be back again and I hope this rude waitress no longer has a job with your restaurant. She should absolutely be ashamed of herself!

Hostess- Inept at answering phone. I think she should of been home with a babysitter. No one knew who the owner or manager is, they passed situation onto female bartender, who looks bitter and unhappy- only to find out she's clueless, past her prime bartending days and too busy serving 2 other customers and gossiping. Our silverware was filthy, our water glasses were filthy, and actual food is drowned in marinara sauce- this is on Tuesday night, not busy.... just staff doesn't care. Save yourself- Dennys is down the road or go to a real iltalian restaurant like Wells brothers or Infusinos.

Ordered a large carry out pizza. Told me 15-20 minutes. Got there in 17 minutes. Was told it was not ready yet, it'll be a few minutes. 15 minutes later I asked and they went back and looked. Told me it is close. 15 minutes later I asked and they went back and told me close again. Had I not paid already, I would have walked out at this point. At 45 minutes later, I finally got my pizza with no apology or anything. So disappointed! We used to go here very often but had not been back in over a year due to bad service or pizza. Well, now that this happened, that is it for us and those I talk with. We will not be back and to be honest, there are so many very good and better options for pizza in Racine and Sturtevant. Truly hate leaving bad reviews, but when it was this bad, I had to. I only ever give very good or very bad reviews and so sorry this had to be bad.
