Michaelangelos wine bar

Place was mobbed! Decor was on point. Really thought it was going to be an amazing night. Until our waitress literally disappeared! Took over 35 minutes to get a cheese board. Longer for drinks. Under staffed for such a popular spot.

Google says open til 2 am but the bartender (with a full bar of patrons) tells us tonight it’s past last call at 11:15. I really got the vibe she was doing this a bit early - felt shady like she didn’t want us to come in. I’ve never been here and left happy with service. If I owned this place I would wanna know my gen z staff actively turned away paying guests on a Saturday night. Boomer out.

Extremely disappointed we walked in it seemed super nice and loud bar. We waited over 20 mins for a drinks.. wayy too long but adleast if your going to wait that long you’d expect the drink to be 10/10 it was a zero out of 10. I ordered a margarita and the drink was straight tequila on top of that my horrible drink was $17… you’re joking me right. Avoid this place at all cost. Not a single waiter or waitress asked how the drinks were. Paid left and never coming back

We came for some of the cherry blossom, inspired drinks, and got some appetizers. Everything was really good.

Do yourself a favor and do not step foot into this establishment. Starting with the worst part:

1. We had requested that our check be split three ways. 2 of us had cash and one of us had a card. We each counted the cash NUMEROUS times (like we do every time we go out) to ensure that the amount given was correct. Our server came back and charged the card almost DOUBLE the amount and claimed that not enough cash was put down. We tried disputing this and they told us that there was nothing they can do. Are the waiters pocketing cash thinking that we weren’t going to tip them? Never in my life has something like this happened and it speaks volumes of the establishment that they’re running.

2. We found ourselves either waiting 30 minutes each time before we saw our waitress, or we had to wave her down to get her attention.

3. We were asked to get up as they had a group of people waiting to be seated.

4. The drink and food prices were astronomical. If you’re going to charge $20 espresso martinis, I would expect that the service match up, or at least come close.

Truly an awful experience and would never recommend to anyone I know. Do not waste your time and money - you might be the next victim!

I’d give zero stars if I could. The service is terrible. Food and drinks and wayyyyy over priced and the staff are not friendly at all. We will not be going back and don’t recommend .

Would have been 5 stars but they charge you $3 for olive oil. Olive oil should come out free with my charcuterie every time. Clean it up.

Creative and tasty seasonal drinks and great cheese boards. I would give this place five stars based on the food and drinks but unfortunately I found the music to be way too loud for a Sunday afternoon. I couldn’t even hear my husband who was right next to me. Due to the volume, we ate outside and the music was still loud, but at least we could hear eachother talk. Although I love 90s hip hop, I don’t think it’s appropriate to be playing loudly outside with very explicit language throughout every song. I was cringing as parents with small children walked by. Without prompting, the waiter did lower the music outside when he gave us our drinks as he probably realized how loud it was.

Too expensive for mediocre food. Overpriced and small portions. Wine is expensive, been to better places for low prices. The place was absolutely dirty. I saw the server pick their butt and groin area and then served food. So unethical and disgusting. I don’t know how this place is still here. Should be shut down by now.

This gotta be the worse restaurant I ever ate before. The service was so poor from the two waiters that were there tonight. We were 4 people that ordered paninis and they forgot one of them. Said he never told themhe wanted a panini. Yeah ok he was just going to watch us all eat. Funny. The food was horrific. All the paninis came with one slice of meat. Unreal. Such a money hungry restaurant. Take our money and give us just toasted bread. Spoke with the waiter they said no manager or owner. Didn't want to give us any compensation for the lousy food.

Do yourself a favor don't go to this place. There is a reason there are poor reviews. Should of checked before we went. I would give 0 stars if I could. I will be calling owner with my complaints. I will update after we speak.

Went on Wine Bar website, thought I made a reservation for 2. Then a "Google Assistant" text me saying they tried to call Wine Bar, (to update me on my reservation attempt), what?, like 4 times they tried, and Wine Bar didn't answer. What!!! Either the reservation is confirmed by WINE BAR or it isn't!!! What is this Google Assistant! "Google Assistant" said they couldn't reach Wine Bar, said, "If YOU want to try", NO I WILL NEVER TRY TO GET A RESERVATION OR GO THERE AGAIN!!!!

very romantic, adorably decorated wine bar. That being said, the food is not enjoyable. The brie (bland) & crackers are store bought, the fig jam from a jar, the chicken on the caesar salad unseasoned & microwaved. The rosé wine was very nice, however. The service isn't polished or engaging. I would recommend this to meet a first date for a cocktail or to sit outside with friends for wine and chit-chat. This wine bar has been around for years and is in need of a transformation/revitilization. ?

Overall this is a pretty solid spot located right off the train in massapequa park. The food is very good id say, with the burrata, and flat breads being the best. The rice balls are also fire. Their dessert options are also very good.
As far as the wine goes, there decent, not a huge selection, and they serve there red wines at room temperature, not the ideal 55 degrees.
Service wise they are a bit slow and for a wine bar their servers have no clue about the wine their serving. The one bartender stated the malbec was from italy and the other could not describe the wine being served. Now this may sound small, but a wine bar should employee people that know wine.
Overall though a good spot to try out if your local and looking for something different.

Parking: Commuter lot across the street and next door.

It was really an unpleasant experience.

My husband and I went on a Sunday hoping for a relaxing evening,

We tried to sit inside but the music was so loud we couldn’t hear each other talk… we were the only ones inside.

We moved to the outside tables where they still were pumping club music.

We decided we would get one appetizer and a drink each and then switch locations.

The appetizer was $17, melted mozzarella and the amount you got on cheap pieces of bread were completely inconsistent. The bruschetta itself had no flavor, no salt/pepper, hardly any basil. It was really just bad and for that price absolutely ridiculous.

Would never go back.

The place is smaller than expected. We only had cocktails. Everyone from our group loved their drinks. I had a 'Fig Mule' but substituted the vodka for tequila. It's very tasty, and they didn't skimp on the alcohol.

Parking: There's a parking lot which accesses the back of the restaurant.
