Michelangelo Ristorante

Everything was SO delicious! We came here for the first time today for my sister's birthday and the entire experience was fantastic! The atmosphere is intimate and beautiful. We sat inside but there is also an outside patio option. Our server was so nice and attentive. He answered all our menu questions. We also met Tony one of the brothers who owns the restaurant and personally creates the menu. It's family owned and they have been in the silverlake area for 27 years. Having recently moved into the area we are so happy to support a local family owned business. They have an extensive drink menu with wine and bar options. My mom got a specialty Irish coffee and my brother got their margarita both of which they greatly enjoyed. We had the bruschetta appetizer which was light and delicious to start with. Then my brother and mom split the sage butter ravioli and one of the specials of the day a pear strawberry date candied walnut salad with crumbled feta cheese they raved about. My brother said the raviolis were the best he's ever tried. The sage butter sauce in particular was exceptional. My sister loved her Fettuccine Alfredo! I got the fish of the day which was perfectly cooked and the lemon caper sauce was exquisite! They easily accommodated my dietary restrictions and were so nice about it. Our server walked me through which options on the menu were dairy free and I had quite a few to choose from. I also noted for next time that they have a gluten free pasta substitution for those who want it. My brother got a Pappardelle Alla Domenica to go because everything was so good and he also rated that extremely high when I asked. I didn't take photos because we were so busy eating and celebrating but everything was beautifully plated in addition to being delicious. We ended the meal with a tiramisu which my family loved and I had a cafe latte which they easily substituted almond milk for me. They brought out a birthday hat and decorations and we sang happy birthday to my sister who was incredibly happy! We are so grateful they made her day so wonderful and memorable. We will definitely be back!!

Definitely one of our favorite spots in Silver Lake. Fantastic food and service, and accommodating of gluten allergy. Always pleased with dinner at Michelangelo’s!
