Customer Reviews
We brought a tour group to this restaurant and the food they provided was expansive and delicious! Multiple, well prepared main dishes including salmon, stuffed pork chops, tasty pasta, and more. The service was top drawer and very attentive. We were from Michigan and it was the best restaurant so far in the tour!
I recently had my son and daughter’s birthday party here. Everything was excellent. The food, the service and the room were all top tier. The weather was calling for a blizzard, but Michael reassured me everything would be ok. We had a great party and everyone left with their stomachs full before the big storm hit. I had guests with gluten and dairy allergies and they were more than accommodating. I cannot recommend Michael’s riverside enough!
I was a vendor there this past Sunday doing a photobooth for a holiday party. Mike the owner was very accommodating. Plenty of parking and easy load in and out for my equipment. Food was excellent as well. Highly recommend for your next event or a night out for dinner! 5 ✨
Michael’s Riverside is a true standout among Italian restaurants — the kind of place that leaves a lasting impression from the first visit. The atmosphere strikes a perfect balance between elegant and comfortable, with warm lighting and inviting décor that make it ideal for both special occasions and relaxed dinners. The food is exceptional, showcasing high-quality ingredients and thoughtful, authentic Italian preparation. From perfectly cooked pasta to rich, flavorful sauces and beautifully crafted entrees, every dish reflects the care and pride of a talented kitchen. The service is just as impressive. The staff is attentive, personable, and genuinely invested in creating a great experience for every guest. The bar is a particular highlight — the bartender is friendly, skilled, and enga
This is a delightful spot. The food was outstanding, and the service staff were kind, attentive, and prompt. Another underappreciated element: the bathrooms were neat and very clean. This place would have easily made my top 10 restaurants visited in 2025. As of January 2026, it has the #2 spot - only behind a renowned steakhouse in Atlanta. Keep up the great work!
