Business Description from the Web

The food is good and the people who run it treat everybody who walks through the door as though they were their favorite customers. If you are in the mood for just a cup of cappuccino and biscotti, the best seat in the house may be at the table in the very acute angle of the establishments northernmost corner. From there, you can survey the always interesting goings on in North Beach, enjoy the original ... more

Editorial Reviews from the web

In Short Located on a heavily trafficked block in the heart of North Beach, this classic café is a logical stop for city visitors exploring the neighborhood. Stained-glass lamps and faux Greco-Roman statuary populate the casual dining room, which offers ideal people watching through large windows that overlook the bustling sidewalk outside.

simple but satisfying

brought to you by

Citysearch

This place is nothing too special, but i was pleased with it. We were looking for a simple, yummy italian place and this totally hit-the-spot. I had the pasta bolognase and liked it, my friends were all pleased with their pasta and seafood as well. The appetizer was super fresh and their house wine was tasty. The service was very friendly and felt like a nice family atmosphere. The endless gummy bears ... more

Very average

brought to you by

Citysearch

Unless a bowl of all-you-can-eat gummy bears defines a good restaurant, I'd say you can find much better options in North Beach. Yes, the service is smiley and friendly. And yes, you get a free gigantic bowl of gummy bears and a plateful of yummy almond cookies at the end of your meal. But...the food is extremely average (shrimp scampi) - maybe even disappointing (the minestrone). The prices are ... more

Best Italian in the City!

brought to you by

Citysearch

This has been my favorite restaurant in the City for years. The ambiance is wonderful and with the family-style seating you feel like part of a big Italian family. The food is out of this world and the almond cookies and gummy bears are a nice treat at the end of a wonderful meal. You must try it!

Pros

+ Price, Ambience and Service

Cons

- Parking

Great Gnocchi's

brought to you by

Citysearch

The best gnocchi's I have ever had. Didn't touch the gummi bears due to reading reviews prior to visiting. I went on a Saturday night and it was not too crowded. Great staff. A little bright and noisy. Great prices. Will visit many times in the future.

Pros

+ Food, Prices, location

Cons

- Very bright lights, noise

Artistic? Nah, just good Food!

brought to you by

Citysearch

I've been to Michelangelo Caffe about 8 times over the last several years. It's cheery walls and colorful tiffany lamps hung over the dining area are fun. The food is very simple Italian, good home-made pasta and gnocchi, large appetizers and cheap red wine at reasonable prices. I always get the linguine with baby clams and shrimp in a tomato-cream sauce, delish. Service is prompt due to long ... more

Go for the gummy bears

brought to you by

Citysearch

Nice place to get a tasty and inexpensive Italian meal. I came here the first time with my husband to grab something quick before a show, and we really enjoyed our dinner. Pasta's tasty, lots of cheese, and not overcooked. And it's always fun to see the big bowl of gummy bears at the end.

Wonderful

brought to you by

I have been a customer of Michelangelo for years and i still enjoy the food and the friendly staff very much! But what I really look foward to are the sweet treats that get passed around from table to table... it is a nice way to finish up a wonderful and pleasant dinner!
