Visited Michael's Trattoria yesterday after a friend's funeral. The staff was exceptional and we couldn't have asked for better service. We plan on visiting again on a more joyful occasion. Thanks again Michael's.

I typically leave a review if I REALLY love something or if I am really upset about something and tonight, I am upset. The food at Michael’s is very good however our service was less than desirable which just puts a damper on everything. Took a bit of time for anyone to acknowledge we were at a table waiting, waitress came over and had zero personality. We were sitting at a table in the bar, it was Sunday and wasn't overly crowded (5:00 reservation). She took our drink order and when she brought our drinks we immediately placed app and dinner order. The wait was unbelievable, never brought salads, got one dinner wrong and didn’t seem to care one way or the other. I was sure to mention our salads didn’t come and the dinner was wrong and she half heartedly asked to replace the dinner but after how long we waited, that wasn’t an option. At the end she comped a dessert which we took to go and had to wait for. Honestly, it’s disappointing because the food is great quality and fresh but having a server that doesn’t help the experience makes me not want to return, sadly.

Ordered Zuppe di pesce fra diavlo hot, waiter screwed that up a family meal of $800 not to good. This is my second time there meal not good . Last time an I live in town , will never recommend to anyone ever again .
Service was very good - food was OK. Have not been here in quite some time, and remember the original restaurant that has now been expanded to a much larger footprint. They took over an adjoining store and expanded their seating. Went during the week, and at first it looked very empty, but by 8:00 it was quite full of diners. Even when crowded, the service was good and we never felt abandoned. The food was OK. I do remember the menu used to have more upscale/delicate dishes, now it seems to focus on heavy Italian fare - not unlike 100 other restaurants in the New Haven/Hartford corridor. So while I can't complain about most of the food, I do think they are not the outstanding place they once were. They have slipped from outstanding to just OK. I ordered clams casino, but what they call casino is really baked stuffed clams, overwhelmed by bread crumbs. They were flavorful and the clams tasted fresh, but they were not the real thing that I expected and what I find at upscale locations. So if you go, you will find the food good but not outstanding, typical and not very creative, and lacking the touch of a real chef like the original Michaels. But I guess you can't argue with success - they have a much larger facility and they are filling it up on weekdays, so it must resonate with the locals. I'm sure I will go back in the future; perhaps with my expectations now lowered I will find it more agreeable.

The noise level was very annoying. We were in the new section of the restaurant and people were shouting at each other to be heard above the noise. Something needs to be done to alleviate this because everything else was superb
