   The food was disappointing. The linguini Alfredo seemed to be missing Alfredo, it was basically a bowl of noodles with a little milky liquid, there was no cheese taste or garnish. The veal parmesan was uneventful and the side of pasta was mushy. We took the food to go to see if we could Doctor it up as opposed to wasting it, it was packed in strange cardboard containers that leaked. Not that it's a big deal, but it was my Birthday and I indicated that when making the reservation. I didn't expect a desert or anything, but maybe the staff could say Happy Birthday. The food was better pre renovation and new ownership, we will not be back again.

   Best NYE date night that my husband and I had! Michael A’s is a cute Italian restaurant located in Oakmont-the pasta was absolutely delicious, ambience was great, and service was quick! Definitely will be back to try more on their menu!

   We were seated on the first floor at a table too close to the other surrounding tables. As a result, passing staff and patrons kept bumping me in the arm. Thankfully, the staff was accommodating and moved us to another table. The food was good, although our fungi pizza was at room temperature by the time it was served, which is odd considering it should have come straight out of the oven. The bread was also not fresh and a bit tough. The assorted cannoli were delicious. The server was attentive and pleasant.

   The four of us enjoyed all the food and drinks we had - espresso martini, roasted garlic and bread, Caesar salad, tortellini soup, red snapper, beans and greens, broccolini, Michael A’s pasta, and desserts. Service was excellent. However we were disappointed that our Michael A’s favorites were no longer on the menu! Gone are oysters, orange roughy Romano and other fish dishes and pasta dishes, the chocolate torte dessert. Miss the old menu. Still well return.

   Wild Mushroom Risotto was delicious and others enjoyed their Fungi Pizza. Service was excellent. The restaurant layout offered privacy and our open view of the pizza oven was fun.

   I've eaten here 3 times since reopening. The ambiance is nice. On a winter night, downstairs is cold near the door. Upstairs is loud. I loved meatball and stuffed pepper appetizers. Salads are good. Wedding soup is special. I've enjoyed red snapper and pasta from the menu. I wish side items were included. Cocktails are served in an annoyingly small glass but charged at a high price.

   Overall, they give you large portions. The only negative thing is that the sauce is a little watery, and when i got home, I noticed i was charged for 2 beers when i only had 1!
