Don Michele Italian Restaurant

Dropped in for a late lunch (and because I’d seen the special on Facebook). Lovely staff and the Cacio e Pepe was excellent. The place has been redecorated and freshened up since the last time I visited and looks fantastic.

Wife, son and I just loved this place, first time we've been. Not overpriced but good food, great atmosphere and service.. Thin, crisp crust on the pizza was so authentic, took me back to a tiny granny / granda cafe near Rome station in 1994. Spicy linguini and plain linguine catbonara all good..

This was probably the most fun dining experience we‘ve ever had. Starters were really tasty (mushrooms and mussels). Only negative thing about the starters was the bread that came with the mussels, it’s definitely not home made, but instead just cheap supermarket baguette. Mains were good as well (penne and pizza godfather, though I have to say, the pizza was more like a tarte flambee than a pizza), but the three female waiters were just too funny. They kept checking up on us and making all these funny jokes. The italian cook was so friendly and chatted with us for the longest time which we really appreciated. The local couple which was sitting on the table next to us ordered and gifted us the „italian flag shots“ which were tasty and so fun. If you see this: thank you so much! Despite the great people I have to deduce a star for the food. It was good but not great (especially the pizza was a bit disappointing). The prices were high and they didnt have the wine we asked for. My partner had a sore tummy after (maybe from the portion size or the food itself, or something else entirely, we‘re not sure.)

Great meal last night with the Scottish Ducati Club at Don Michele's. 12 folk well fed. Warm welcome and great service. Food was superb. Highly recommended.
