Food was ? and they were SO hospitable! First thing they said to us was Happy Anniversary when we arrived. We arrived 15 mins early for our reservation and they still seated us immediately. Served us complimentary Prosecco and their “in house made” limoncello. We love ordering our favorite Italian desserts at the end so I was a little disappointed that they didn’t have a classic cannoli, but their other options were still delicious. We will definitely be back again.

The service and staff are first class. Soup was excellent. Salad greens were fresh. Caesar salad was fresh but did not have much flavor. Ravioli was rich but again didn't have as much flavor as I expected. I could just be picky, this may be how the dishes are actually served in this part of Italy.

We were there to celebrate a birthday. They knew ahead of time and had a happy birthday placard on the table. We each were given a glass of prosecco. We had a lovely meal with no rushing from the server Hunter, who was great. They put a candle in our desert to share and even gave us shots of limoncello to round off the night. We felt very spoiled and catered to. We sat in the back wine room so the noise level was fine and the atmosphere was intimate.

Fun way to celebrate my birthday. Chef Trey was entertaining and informative. The three entrees prepared were all very good - shrimp and grits, crab cake and lobster roll. Plenty of food for lunch and wine glasses were kept as full as you wanted. Appreciated the dessert with a candle in it. The Chef also accommodated guests who were not eating meat on a Friday during Lent. On a separate night, we also enjoyed Sips and Bites in the bar area. Good cocktails, tapas, and dessert. Attentive service. Great value!

Michael Anthony's has always been one of our island favorites. It seems they have upped their game a notch in the food department. Last night's dinner was the best we have ever had there...

Had a wonderful evening and dinner with family at Michael Anthony's. Our server Lexie was a big plus. The decadent affogatos Lexie recommended for desert capped off the evening.

Birthday dinner, every staff member wished my date a happy birthday. The food and staff is excellent, top notch. We dined upstairs, would have preferred the downstairs dinning room. The value for food and drink is appropriate, compared to food quality of other near by restaurants. Absolutely, would recommend this cucina.

Very good food and competent friendly waiter. We were disappointed that despite our request and empty tables on the first floor, they made it clear that “there was only one poorly situated table on the first floor. The ambience on the first floor would have been much more preferable to us.

This was our first time at the bar for sip and eats. Small plates with 3 small wines to go with them. It was very enjoyable and we will go back. So nice chatting with the bartender about the wines and the server about the dishes. Very friendly and everything was great.

Chef Robby did an outstanding job. He came to the table and introduced some of our dishes. The surf and turf special was OUT of this world phenomenal. The soup of the day was spectacular. I personally got the lasagna pinwheel and it was unreal..... so delicious. The pesto and balsamic glaze on top... genius! Chef Robby is amazing. Our waiter, Jonathan, perfectly paired wine with our courses. He helped me with a pre dinner Pinot Grigio and a red wine to have with my meal! He helped the entire table with pairings and was extremely kind during the entire visit. We love this place. The best Italian on the island!

We have always enjoyed Michael Anthonys several times but this visit wee were pleasantly surprised by the attention to detail for my husbands birthday. not only was there a reserved "Happy Birthday" sign but we were greeted at the door by a very charismatic hostess whom wished him a happy birthday. We also had complimentary Prosecco presented by two lovely waitresses and a dessert with a candle in it to celebrate. Food was excellent and ambiance perfect. All staff were very attentive. Thank you again!

Only one server at lunch. Hostess and a manager mostly chatted with each other. Coming from an area with many good Italian restaurants the small portion of pasta was only fair and overpriced.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed "Sips and Bites". We each enjoyed a well mixed drink before dinner. The wine pairing was good and interesting. The three "bites" were very good. The warm chocolate soufflé cake was delicious for dessert. Nice atmosphere. Coming back for a cooking demonstration!
