I dined at Andrew Michael Italian kitchen recently, and I couldn't be more pleased with the atmosphere, service, and eclectic menu.
The restaurant is intimate and dimmed just enough for comfortable dining.
With Covid still as huge concern, I loved that the tables aren't too close, and that sanitation is immediate after the completion of a party.
Each party begins their course with an "Antipasta, or plate" in traditional Italian settings, this is the meal (appetizer) before your main dish.
These dishes are rather small, yet packed with lots of flavor.
For the appetizer, I ordered the Blue Crab. This meal was a great Italian bread, lightly seasoned with herbs and topped with cream, shallots, chives and cheese.
Next, i ordered Scallops. Again, although the portion is small, this was one of my favorites. The scallops were seared to perfection and moist.
For my 1st dish, I ordered the Maw Maw's ravioli. This dish is one of the most popular items on their menu. This dish was unique primarily because you taste the freshness of every ingredient, as well as the home cooked noodles. (Fun fact, the owners Grandfather comes in every week to make the dish)
Now, for the excitement!!! For the main entrée I ordered the Chicken. This dish split in half is perfect meal for 2. I'm never a fan of ordering chicken at restaurants, but the chicken was the perfect finishing touch to our meal. Not only was it seasoned perfectly, but it was paired with carrots and potatoes in a delightful red wine vinaigrette.
For dessert, I was highly recommended the
CHOCOLATE STICKY TOFFEE PUDDING. This dish consists of: brown bulter pecan powder and salted caramel gelato.
This is a rather rich dish, so I suggest sharing, but the brown butter pecan powder balances out the brownie and gelato to make a sticky yet delectable
pairing.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my dining experience. I highly suggest dining here for a mid week or weekend experience.
