Original Michelangelo Pizzeria-Restaurant Eastport

"Ordered the Gorgonzola/Salad pie which has been my families favorite for years. The pie costed a whopping $31 dollars and somehow barely had any gorgonzola cheese on it. Basically paid $31 for pizza crust and some arugula & veggies. Won't be ordering again."

"After dining this past Saturday at the Original Michelangelo Eastport in the KIng Kullen shopping center I was left dumbfounded how such a great place could change so much. It became quickly clear ownership had changed. The restaurant side was completely understaffed and staffed by totally untrained staff. Not a manager visible. The level of cleanliness also went down. The baked clam appetizer was ok but needed to be cooked longer. Our entrees lacked in flavor, my chicken piccata came with a side of pasta with wrong sauce which they did offer to correct. I declined because at this point I wanted to be done. I received the wrong wine but again just wanted to be done so didn’t correct. The icing on the cake was the server dropping the entire bowl of pasta with red sauce on me. He than came back after I cleaned up the booth. When I received the bill he told me he took $5.75 off the $126 bill (pre tax and tip). Never saw a manager, didn’t see one manager meet or greet one table, not sure they even had one which explained the service issues. Doesn’t explain the food quality. There are many great Italian spots in a stones throw. You all really need to do better."

"UPDATE in response to owner 07/06/2024: NOPE, it's the right restaurant. The time stamp of my review is not indicative of the time I visited your establishment. In fact, I was there Saturday, June 15 at 4:27 PM in the afternoon. I know that to be exact bc I had to make a phone call on something specifically. As I am typing this, I am looking at my call log.  It is the King Kullen Shopping Plaza with Suffolk Federal Credit Union on the other end. I don't normally post a review when I am in the place of business at the exact time. Many times it's after the fact. I still stand by what I stated, so instead of assuming it was not your place of establishment, it's best to seek to understand, rather than be understood. I apologize, but perhaps speak to your employees about ensuring sleeping in a booth and keeping the tables clean for customers to dine in for a meal. I will visit again and if it's better, I will delete this and send a wonderful review. I like posting those reviews. This experience has left an indelible mark. ORIGINAL POST Visit from 06/15/2024 When we went to sit down, our table was dirty and there was a server in the next booth asleep. Really? Can I get a job there, so I can sleep too? That's preposterous! Also, I'm not from the city before I'm labeled as a Karen. It's just bad business having an employee asleep in front of the customers. Maybe I'll give it another chance around the holidays. Maybe there will be an improvement."

"Had a wonderful dinner here a couple nights ago. Their soups are off the chart’s delicious. Calamari crazy good and huge portion. They give you a complimentary delicious homemade bread with butter, olive oil & a tomato spread. Food was delicious. Staff was amazing. Huge portions of delicious food."

"Hello my friends, let me tell you about another awesome find that I had been meaning to get to for quite some time. Michelangelo is an amazing Italian restaurant located in Eastport just off Sunrise Highway eastbound at exit 61 and old Eastport-Manor Rd. We sat in a very lovely dining room with a beautiful bar to sit at and have a drink/food. The staff was so amazing and very attentive to your needs. They start you off with warm Italian bread in a basket with sides of evoo, butter or a fresh tomato spread. Sam was our waiter who gave us great service along with Brianna who was the assistant. As I sat there, I watched how they both were taking care of their tables, never stopped to move, always bringing and taking things from the table. Amazing service. We started with the fried calamari which was delicately seasoned and floured. The plate was loaded up with rings and tentacles of nice size!!!! They were tender and very delicious! Then we got a huge and delicious salad which I didn't expect!! My wife ordered the pasta Cremosa which was a nice portion of part and an abundant of shiny nice large-jumbo shrimp. She asked that the shrimp were not fried and they gladly made it that way, she loved it. I ordered the parmigiana trio which consisted of Veal, Chicken and Shrimp parmigiana!!! It came with a pasta side. First, I loved the huge deep dish that it came on, I wanted to take it home lol! The portion was excellent, 2 nice portions of break and chicken and 2 jumbo shrimp, which I was so surprised to see because it was hidden under the melted cheese!! And I have to say that their sauce was really amazing, the taste of tomatoes in the sauce was delicious! I basically ate half my dish, as well as my wife. We took dinner for the next night home in our portions! I highly recommend Michelangelo. The food is awesome, the ambiance is really nice and warm and the service amazing!!"
