"Michael’s Genuine was the first restaurant that made people want to eat in the Design District when it opened in 2006, and it’s still one of the neighborhood’s more reliable spots for a solid meal with a menu everyone can pretty much agree on. Come for a lunch that involves crowd-pleasing sandwiches, salads, and pizza. For dinner, there's usually a stracciatella situation we thoroughly enjoy, roasted octopus, rigatoni in meat sauce, and a whole roasted snapper. It’s a safe bet for family meals, dinner with clients, and really any other occasion when you need a restaurant that is nice but not overwhelmingly upscale." - Team Infatuation
