il Michelangelo Italian Restaurant

Went for the first time to celebrate our wedding anniversary/Valentine's dinner and the homemade pasta was plentiful, and delicious! Our bottle of wine was reasonably priced the Tiramisu was to die for.

This review would have gotten 5 stars, however, the hostess, I assume, Gary, ruined our dining experience and unfortunately, we won't be returning because of him. He made inappropriate comments on the racial demographics of Boonton and how impressed he was that our first names are so "American"...

I would definitely recommend the food, and our original waiter was absolutely wonderful. Gary sat us, and picked up the check, and I did entertain conversation with him and he said he has been working with the restaurant owners for about 30 years - which baffles me and also leads me to believe that he isn't going anywhere. Insane.

first class. great food and service

So good everything literally best sauce or gravy I've ever had

Excellent food! Everything is excellent every time we are there. They catered to our family's celiac disease, with delicious appetizers everyone can enjoy. A little expensive but well worth it.

I appreciate that the owners were kind enough to ask that I elaborate on my rating. So here goes! (TL;DR: Based on my one visit, definitely would recommend it, even for large parties.)

I was here a while back for a get-together with my family (this was my first and so far only time there); there were quite a few of us (between 10 and 20 if I remember right). The restaurant was very accommodating of our large party and I always felt comfortable. Impressions from others that I spoke with afterward were also positive.

The food itself was, to my memory, very good! It's been too long to be able to speak to any specific dishes, but I seem to remember having some excellent seafood.

The overall ambiance is very nice; small but the space is used well and there is something interesting to see everywhere you look (lots of intriguing photos; I guess a number of celebrities have visited). Even the bathroom was very nice.

In short, based on my one experience, I would certainly recommend this restaurant and would look forward to any chance to dine there again.
Sorry to be unable after all this time to speak on any more specific points, but I hope this helps someone a bit!
