    Highly recommend Market Cafe at Michael Anthony’s. We’ve been there several times and it never disappoints. The food is fantastic and coziness of the high top tables near the bar area makes a great evening even better. You’ll love the experience

    We made a reservation for happy hour. We were greeted warmly and seated right away. The pizzas were the best we’ve had and the service was great. We were full afterward and it was just right for dinner.
