Truly average Food. I wont even call it real Italian cuisine. I just came from Quartino's in Chicago which puts Michaelangelos to shame. Superb authentic Italian meal at 1/2 the cost that this place charges. They try and mask it with a fancy atmosphere, but the food quality just isn't there. The Pappardelle Bolognese was sadly bland, no fresh flavor, and had a Chef Boyardee taste to it. I thought I could salvage the meal with the "home made Gelato". This was a joke when it comes to gelato. It was flavorless frozen cream with a texture of ice crystals. Chef needs to take a trip to Chicago and dine in some real Italian restaurants there.
