    I can not believe that I found my authentic Italian food on the island. My husband and I are natives of Chicago and have been forever dining at Capri(Chicago). The chicken parmigiana was absolutely delicious with an amazing side of farfalle(butterfly shaped pasta) with homemade marina. Everything is made in house, from all the pasta to the sauces. It’s authentic. Do not forget about the table side banana foster dessert! This place is a gem! A wonderful addition to the amazing cuisine of the island!

    Michael Anthony’s is the penultimate culinary experience! We first enjoyed our blessed times here in this amazing restaurant when we lived in HHI from 2004-2008. Our favorite then and now, again during this current visit. Wait staff: highly customer-focused, present, courteous, knowledgeable, helpful, and very capable, able to take high-level care even during busy moments. Manager checked in on us and ensured that our expectations were being wildly exceeded! Chef: scrumptious butternut squash soup with sausage was light, exquisite, and unforgettably delicious! My wife’s go-to favorite in all restaurants - the evening recipe salmon, stood out, cooked to her exact requirements & was her all-time favorite. My lasagna was extraordinary. Our evening here is now entered into our all-time hall of fame! Ron MacV (843)290-3670
