Michelangelo's

After an appointment in the area, I went to Pavilion mall with my friend for some retail therapy. After hitting a couple of stores, we decided to check out the different restaurants in the mall for lunch. Michelangelo's was highly rated and was among those almost full so we decided to give it a try.The place followed a contemporary design with elements highlighting its Italian link. The indoor space was divided into the bar area and the main dining section. The former looked chic and cozy while latter was patterned to look like a fine dining restaurant, the outdoor space (smoking section) was more relaxed and casual. All three areas brilliantly came together as one cohesive look despite exuding different vibes. Service was ok. We initially had difficulty getting attention maybe because of where we were seated. However, after we placed our orders, everything went smoothly. The staffs were nice but clearly very busy. I was expecting at some point while dining that the manager will check-in on our experience but there was none of that. I was comparing the place with service from similar type of restaurants.For our meal, we decided to avail of the lunch deal which included a starter, a main course and iced tea. I had caesar salad, spaghetti with chicken leg while my friend had soup and pepperoni pizza. We enjoyed our respective appetiser. The salad was great. The greens were fresh with light crisp and the dressing was perfect. The pizza I think can feed two people. I got a slice and it was great; classically done. The crust was thin, the cheese was sharp and the pepperoni was delicious. My main course was very interesting. It was a pairing of baked chicken and aglio olio spaghetti. The aglio olio was delicious and could easily be a meal on its own. The pasta was al dente with the right amount of olive oil and strong garlic flavour that I love. The chicken looked a bit off because I thought it was too cheesy but a small slice of it was enough to convince me otherwise. It was brilliant! It was a delicious rendition of cheesy baked chicken. I don't think I've tried a version of this dish that is as good as this. The food justified the high rating of this restaurant.Price-wise, the lunch deal was value for money. The portions were generous and the flavours were great. I will be going back to this place the next time I am in the area.

*not a pro reviewer but i ll try my best* 😊went to this place for several times and I was quite disappointed with the services last night. u'll have to wait for a few minutes for the waiters to see u waving ur hands, probably because its packed but nothing to be suprised in Michelangelo's. a guy beside me had to wait more than 20 minutes for his food to arrive and he was quite pissed. i celebrated my boyfriend's birthday here, and usually they only gave me the cake. no plates till i asked 🤷🏻‍♀️ but still, the staffs were trying their best to serve us. great staffs.Their lamb shank's price increases by rm5 every year. but the brown sauce/gravy is in smaller amount compared to the first time i ate it. really sad :/ but i think u can ask for more but not quite sure if theyre going to charge u. their lamb shank is burnt at the fat area. Salami pizza, the bomb. I love it so much! Do order it 👌🏻

Amazing place.. they have very authentic pizza and spaghetti.. they even personalize food as per need. We had ordered spaghetti in white sauce and veg pizza both were very good. The service and staff are very friendly.
