I simply cannot get enough of this resturant! Food is extremely amazing.. Due to the COVID, I had to do takeaway.. Food is always hot and fresh plus delivery is fast. Pasta and pizza are my favorites.. Cannot eat pasta from anywhere else now after Michael Angelos. Usually when my friends and I go here, the service is friendly and we are always greeted with a smile. So fortunate to live near the place. I highly recommend this venue.
First time I came her was for a family’s birthday dinner. I’d driven past every now and again and never really noticed.
I had the aranchini and the baked gnocchi. Absolutely fantastic so good generous serving but I had to finish it all it was so good!
The other week we came back from visiting Mornington peninsula and came back here because how much I loved it and the gnocchi and aranchini are better than the wineries plus it’s not too expensive!
Great local venue. Unpretentious and delivers good value, tasty food. Little one loved the spag bol, and his highlight was the ice cream counter where he could pick a scoop of ice cream.
Mum and Dad enjoyed the garlic bread, our shared pizza and pasta, and the good value (just over $60, incl BYO wine)
Service was top notch, very helpful staff, and a great host. While this is not a fine dining venue or particularly atmospheric, it delivered perfectly for the families and groups there. Would recommend for a simple family night out
Had the panfrittas with garlic and aioli dip and they were awesome! Baked gnocchi was delicious with fresh gnocchi. Pumpkin ravioli was awesome too!
Thought this place might be similar to La Porchetta (yuck!), but it’s actually an extremely good restaurant with great food.

Amazing food and extremely friendly staff! As soon as you enter your greeted with extremely friendly waiters. Large open space for birthdays, events, etc. I ordered the spaghetti marinara which was made beautifully and there coffee was also outstanding! The pricing is very reasonable as well so it's definitely worth it. Must try!
My partner convinced me to try another pizza joint in the area and must say we were pretty happy overall. The service was really good for takeaway and we'll be back to dinein at some stage. Pizza was cooked perfectly and packed with meat while my partners lasagne was fresh and a large portion size.
Takeaway from Micahaelangelo seemed like the perfect option after my friends and I were feeling a little peckish in the late arvo. Choosing the pizza meal offer, which included 2 large pizzas (Chicken and Hawaiian), a loaf of garlic bread and a choice of any soft drink we wanted, we thought this was of a relatively decent price.
The pizzas were a reasonable size, with decent amount of toppings. I especially enjoyed the chicken pizza which had mushrooms, pineapple, and BBQ sauce drizzled over the chicken.
This place is a large and spacious restaurant, with some great customer service! Good for large groups.
They do a great pizza, my fave is the Mexicana… so yum!!!
I was also able to try the steak recently, I enjoyed it! It was a good size, they cooked it well and I loved the sauce!
Food here is Halal for those wondering (but of course not the salami and stuff) and there is wide range of options for everyone :) Including dessert! They do a DELICIOUS Volcano Cake!!
If you tell them it’s someones birthday they can organise a delicious dessert platter for about $25 (pictured).
This is a great local spot to meet for coffee & desserts or grab a take-away pizza :)
Only ever had takeaway from Michelangelos and I really can't fault them too much. Portions are big and the price point is reasonable. Will come in to dine sometime soon.
Waitress was very knowledgeable on how to change dishes to suit my dietary requirements. She knew what was in each meal, and helped me add things. Great atmosphere and many options
The restaurant is quite deceiving, first impression was. Hmmmm it’s a chain. The clientele, well...you can preempt they are regulars and are greeted by name and a warm welcome. The owner always has a smile on his face making non regulars, like myself, feel welcomed.
We had garlic bread to start and it didn’t disappoint. My boy had the kids margarita pizza, which arrived with the starter; his reaction is a happy thumbs up 👍
I’ve ordered and will be having the pork belly and my partner is having the meat lovers pizza with some changes, which they were ok with.
So the pork belly came with crackling, red cabbage and rosemary roasted potatoes and balsamic jus. It was tasty but maybe a little too much cabbage.
The meat lovers pizza contained A LOT of onion, not sure the ratio was as good as it could have been, my partner ate it!
Our waitress, Rhian, was helpful and very accommodating.
All in all a good feed, filled my tummy. 😁
big restaurant so it's not crowed and you don't have to yell at each other if you are going for a catch up with friends. I had the 400gram rib eye steak cooked to perfection. meat was tender and chips crispy. $38 was a reasonably price.
Get the Lamb Pizza!, great food with great desserts and nice homely interiors, I highly recommend for casual dining, celebrated my 24th birthday here accompanied by close friends and family we all enjoyed the food and had a great time, back again soon.
Good service but unfortuntly the food did not deliver. Pizza was very average in taste! The menu needs work as well as flavour. The waitress made it pleasant to visit!
Came here on a Friday night with a reservation. Place is quite large though and while it did get a bit busy, there were plenty of seats (would recommend booking for larger groups though). The staff are really gracious and friendly, and this is a great spot for families to come for dinner and lunch. I had the lasagne and it was quite nice; pasta sheets were cooked well, portion was decent and flavours were there, although sometimes a little on the borderline of salty. Pizzas were a hit with everyone - definitely give it a shot if you are in the area!
Michelangelo's is a fantastic place to dine if you want good food for a reasonable price. It is not fancy, but definitely tasty with a menu with enough selections to satisfy everyone in the family.
The chicken and avocado salad is no exception and if you are after a lighter meal this is a satisfying option, with well dressed salad greens, not so spicy Cajun chicken tenders and a fair whack of avocado your tummy will thank you!
I am not a fan of their coffee and the pre-made desserts are not tempting enough for me to indulge, but the service is friendly and they make a mean lemon-lime and bitters!
I would also recommend the Honey glazed lamb and the Veal.
Had an early Father's Day dinner last Saturday night. As always we were greeted by the friendly manager and staff who give you enough time to look at the menu and you never feel rushed. The restaurant was fully booked but service was spot on and all our meals which included pizza's pasta and desserts were delicious. Going to give the breakfast buffet a good workout this weekend.
Great place. We go there often and the food is always fanastic. Same for the service. Great portions and if you cant finish it you can always get it in a doggy bag. We love this place
A gorgeous Italian restaurant that have friendly staff. The food never stops to amaze me. Always ask for the specials because their head chef can create beautiful pastas/main meals. Would definitely go here regularly if I lived any closer to Aspendale/Chelsea Heights

Review of Calabrese pizza without salami, and chicken Parma.
The short of it;
Great serving sizes, fantastic food, great customer service, short wait times, and dessert to kill for.
Our waitress at the start of our visit wasn't overly good at holding a section - she may be new, but she was spending far too long at one table and not paying much attention to her other customers.
I looked over the pizza menu and saw a lot of options that sounded delicious without the meat. I eventually decided on the Calabrese without the salami, and my sister went for the Parma.
Within 10 minutes, our plates had arrived, which was incredibly impressive given how busy they were. Serving sizes were huge, and admittedly my eyes were bigger than my stomach when I ordered the large pizza - boy was it LARGE! I got through half before giving up and taking the rest home.
My sister thoroughly enjoyed her Parma, and struggled with it, given how big the serving was. The chips were crunchy and delicious - I stole a few.
Towards the end of our visit, we had another waitress take over our table (we had noticed the absence of our first waitress for a while at this point), and was much more attentive to all tables around.
The dessert fridge had many options, but we eventually came to a decision. My sister opted for a slice of lemon meringue pie, which ended up being a giagantic slice. I chose the Bomboloni, and that is a dessert to kill for. The doughnuts are small enough that they're perfectly bitesized but still crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, and the Nutella sauce is incredible. I couldn't recommend this dessert highly enough.
Great food, great service, and byo with no corkage! New management has done wonders for this restaurant! Ignore the previous ratings and reviews from previous owners, I'll be heading back to this place.
This place has dramatically improved since change of ownership! Menu has some great choices. Eye fillet was one of the best I've had in a long time. Fantastic service and very friendly staff. Can't wait to go back!
We visited Michelangelo after it changed hand to new owners from Southgate. I have to say things have been improved dramatically i e service and food. We tried their parma and some salad and they both were terrific. Staffs were friendly and accommodating. We hope they will keep lifting their game and win over more customers in the future. Recommended.

Haven't been here in a while, found out it's under new management. Was taken over by the Intermezzo guys from Southland. The old Michaelangelos venue has been refurbished inside and the menu has been updated.
We ordered the salt and pepper calamari for the entree which was nice but didn't come with the any sauce even though it was listed on the menu, so we asked the waitress and she brought over some aioli. We had a blue heaven milkshake with the 400gm rib eye and the lasagne. The food was cooked very well and are both substantial sized meals. The steak was cooked perfectly and is a great cut however it lacked sauce as it was only lightly drizzled on top of the meat but it was very nice. The lasagna was very rich and very saucy but was also quite nice. We didn't realise the water was self serve so we asked the waiter for water who brought us 2 glasses and then explained to us it was a self service station but probably should of explained it at the start. It is a very large venue and looks like it would be a great choice for a birthday or celebratory function for a big group people.
Very nice place, great food !
YUM. The service here is excellent and tuesdays are my favourite cause its STEAK NIGHT which is extreamly mouth watering. my friend had ordered the pizza and she said it was amazing. definitely recommend this restaurant to friends and family.
Great restaurant. Fantastic service and food.
Service was really good, nice smiley friendly staff and food was well portioned. Nothing special but the Parma hit the spot wonderfully.
Definetly would recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking for great food, excellent service and terrific value for money. The bruschetta entree was one of the best I have had....beautifully presented and was as good as it looked. The mains that followed were of the same high standard. Will definitely be back.
Have been here a few times over the years, and it seemed to get worse on each visit. I had just about written if off completely until I was looking for a place for dinner this week with the family, and saw the comments about the change of ownership and that the Intermezzo owner had taken over. Hallelujah!!!!! Pleased to say the food and service has improved out of sight, and great to see a friendly and familar face greeting customers coming into the restaurant.....the little things make a big difference.........we will definitely be back!
Loved it. It was the old team from intermezzo at Southland. Will be back.

Intermezzo has re-surfaced. 5 of us who were regulars at Intermezzo at Southland made our first visit to Michaelangelo's at Aspendale Gardens. Great to see the Intermezzo crew. We were there on Tuesday Night Steak night. Friendly greeting on arrival. The restaurant is well laid out with plenty of space between tables and groups from 2 to much larger groups can be catered for. Our orders were 500 gram rump steak $26.90, scotch fillet $24.90, moroccan lamb salad $19.90, avocado chicken salad $19.90, wild burramundi $23.90. The steaks and fish were served with mixed salad and chunky cut chips. Steaks cooked to perfection medium rare. Other dishes were given tick of approval.
The sweet menu was perused but no room left but would be very tempting to sweet tooths. Meal was finished with coffees which were flavoursome and hot. Service was efficient, friendly but not intrusive. The menu is very similiar to what was the fare at Southland. What was Westfield at Southland thinking when they moved Intermezzo on and replaced it with the rubbish restaurant that is there now? Well worth the drive to visit Michaelangelos and on this our first visit we were not disappointed and will be back on Monday for parma night..
New owners very welcoming and friendly. Not a lot of change to the menu but never a bad meal. Nice to see a positive vibe back.
Relocated Intermezzo team found!. For those who enjoyed the consistent and well priced food of intermezzo at Southland for years, this is where they have moved to. Budgie and the team are offering up a lot of the familiar and some new items at good prices. The staff are friendly, if settling in a bit, the space is lovely and there are no problems fitting in large groups. We went on a Wednesday night and it was pretty busy so I think the locals are discovering this place. It is a great venue for our family that range in age from grandparents to little ones with something to please all. We will be back.

Great food. I was surprised that this place wasn't rated higher. I booked this place for my birthday and looked it up here on urban spoon to show my friends. They know i love good food and doubted i would pick a place for my birthday that wouldn't have good food and ambience. They all agreed that the rating was harsh as we thoroughly enjoyed ALL our dishes. Every single one of them were generous in size and full of flavours. Delicious and fresh too. and waiting wasn't too long. They made great cocktails too.
Slow but friendly service. My food was great but my mates calamari was cold and floury, chips were yummy though
Great service. This restaurant has the best service, the waiters are always available when you need and quick to follow up. Food is great and the meals are well sized. The prices have really crept up over time and it has become quite pricy for a family style restaurant though.
Finally, hopefully Michelangelo has its flair back. we were regulars until service and food went dramatically downhill.
only due to friends taking us out for dinner tonight! we had no interest in returning after our previous experiences. food was horrible and cold, service, I have had better service at target!!!
well we were impressed. la porcetta no more!! service was much better. The food was impressive. entrees were a good mixture, and mains steaks, fish and pasta bugs mmmm, and crispy pork that melts in your mouth. never seen pork like it... and the gravy is real, not like the once previous brown water. fantastic food finally, we will return for sure..glad we went.
the thing is! will it last, lets see. the days you struggled to get seat. is this the return lets see. AA++
Almost my FAVOURITE. Well i had gnocchi it was BEST GNOCCHI I EVER HAD IN MY LIFE...
lovely romantic dinner...my gf enjoyed though :D thanx and yes SUPER CUSTOMER SERVICE ontray got late ...Chef herself come and apologised and didnt charge us for ontray,,,that WON MY HEART....super staff....thanx you for making me such a nice dinner,,,GREAT PEOPLE....going again this week
LOVE UR FOOD
Haven't been in ages and it has had a complete turn around.The staff are super friendly and seem to enjoy being there. I had the ribeye steak which was cooked perfectly and my partner had barramundi. Kids enjoyed the pizza and free icecream will definately be going back
This place has some nice food,but maybe abit loud
Best Pasta!!. Loved this place. Haven't tasted pasta this good in a long time. The linguine was magificient. And the panfritto melted in your mouth. Yum. Craving some now actually. Can't wait to return when I visit this part of town!!
Expensive but location great as there is not much of this standard in the area. Service was lovely and friendly. Not a great vegetarian variety, but the tapas were lovely - however all the vegetarian tapas were battered and deep fried, making it a tad bland. Overall, nice.
Been coming here for more than 3 years. Never had a bad meal, good variety. Friendly staff. Will be back!
Pizzas were great. Dessert was great.
Good food and fantastic staff. One to visit!
The food is very nice (especially the carbonara with penne pasta) and the staff seem nice each time I go there.
Update; we had a chat with Rahul (manager or owner) he was very respectful and took the feedback very well. He did point out it was market price and unfortunately prices are going up as a result and rib eyes are a bit more expensive.
Anyhoo raising my rating from 3 to 4 stars due to that last great interaction
.......
Excellent customer service and ease of change of sides with the steak to anything was delightful.
However be ware the steak is extraaaaa extra expensive and had i know it was 60$ / a piece i wouldn't have ordered.
There was no price at the steak....so that's prettry expensive and it was ok but not for 60$ !!!
Kinda dissapointed with the bill to be honest 😕
Love coming here! Owners and staff are super friendly. Great menu with great portions & flavours at great prices.

Michelangelo's was one of those places I had often driven past and thought
"I must try that place." However for many years I didn't.
Then a couple of years ago we had a family birthday and I suggested Michelangelo's .So we went .
Glad we did
Menu is fairly extensive with a good range of dishes ; many with an Italian flavor obviously........(Pizza,Pasta and Risotto) with some good old Aussie favorites like Steak and Fish..
Everyone at our table enjoyed the meals they had.
Desserts are also highly recommended.
Prices are very reasonable.
Went for dinner on Easter Sunday here, was greeted warmly immediately, the older gentleman made sure we were looked after and the service was immaculate. Ordered the Prawn Linguine which was delicious and the food came out quickly. The baked gnocchi was super yummy- they also have an extensive kids menu. Will definitely be back :)
I absolutely loved the experience. Food was amazing especially the prawn linguine. Kids menu has a good range. Price wise its $$/p but service, hospitality and quality of food more than makes up for it!!
Great place to come enjoy wonderful meals. Always delicious with generous serving. The staff are very welcoming and always friendly. Thank you for looking after us especially accommodating us at the last minute to celebrate my wife’s birthday. Cheers to John and the fantastic crew.
I went to have dinner on my birthday and I was very impressed with the service and food. Waiters were very nice and patient, got the food within 15 minutes of ordering and it was delicious. Definitely will come back.
Excellent staff, service, and food must try place.
