Ok since there was nothing else close by

Food was ok and expensive. They give you bread but it was cold and crusty. We had pizza and spaghetti. This is the onsite restaurant to the Best Western Plus and there was really nothing else around but a small cafe next door.

Great food

Restaurant at Best Western hotel. Food and service were great. Recommend wood fired pizza and Caesar salad. Only negative was the temp of thr restaurant as it was very cold inside.

Where’s the Value

Connected to one of the Best Western airport hotels, after checking-in mid afternoon, I stopped by for quick, late lunch. The atmosphere of the restaurant is actually very nice, surprising for an airport hotel restaurant. Service was good but I was only one of two tables at the time so one would expect it to be. The menu is quite... more

Poor Experience

....it took an hour for my date to get her food and then another 20 minutes for mine (we only ordered mains). It is a motel diner more than a restaurant. They "shrugged off" the OpenTable points program...the guy who handles it was mot in (??). The staff was friendly though.

Valentine Dinner

I was somewhat dissabpointed in the food but the service was great.

Much better restaurant than at the "other " Best Western Airport hotel

Michele's is so much better than I had expected for its location. The style, food quality, and preparation was so much better than the restaurant at the other Airport Best Western, that I recommend you stay at this one, which is a nicer hotel anyway. There is a good range of prices, and plenty of vegetables in the main meat... more

More than you'd expect

This Italian restaurant is more than you'd expect from something attached to a Best Western hotel. The dining room is nice (clean but not overly appealing) and the staff is very friendly. The menu is quite long and has a number of nice appetizers, pastas, pizza, and entrées.
I had a starter salad with spinach mushrooms and Gorgonzola cheese. For... more

Surprisingly Good

I was invited to Mikele's for a business lunch and really enjoyed the meal. Reasonably priced. Had fish special and soup of the day. Small, intimate and classy venue. Will be going again for a special family dinner.

So much better than expected

We came into the Toronto Airport in the evening and stayed at the Homewood Suites. Michele's was in the Best Western next door. I chose the hotel partly because this restaurant had good reviews, and there don't seem to be too many choices near the airport. The room is beautiful. There was a very good two piece group playing while... more

What a Delightful Surrprise

We were staying at the Best Western Motel next door to Michele's and did not expect a first rate restaurant attached to the Motel, even though we really enjoyed our stay there. The decor was classic Old World European, and the service and food excellent. An additional bonus was a three piece band playing lovely dance music. (I am sorry... more

Gem of a Restaurant

Love Love this restaurant. It is attached to the Best Western and the food and service is excellent. A live entertainment is provided as you eat and the atmosphere is relaxing. Pastas and pizzas are amazing and authentic Italian. Very attentive staff and amazing food. Wood fired pizza ovens give the pizza an amazing taste. Highly recommend this restaurant. A... more

Super Pizzas

We ate here on one of the nights we stayed at the adjacent Best Western hotel. Had a couple of Sleemans beers, Calamari, bruchettas and a couple of tasty pizzas for a total of $72 excluding tips. Would happily use the facility again.

Excellent Food In Unexpected Place

Michele's is attached to the Best Western Plus near the airport, and you possibly would not expect the high quality of food that comes out of it. (The restaurant apparently is not connected to the hotel other than physically.) Decor is nice and service prompt and friendly. This was the second time I've eaten here, and both times were great.... more

Good Pizza

We ordered pizza to go for our room...which was good but the rest of the menu was to elaborate and expensive for a quick overnight airport hotel.

Horrible ! Worst experience ever

We went there because of the reviews and mostly because it's near by our hotel. We were so happy to find an italian restaurant close-by but it turn out a waiste of 50$ without tips for some calamari, a pasta dish and a pizza. The horrible experience started with a bread that was hard like a rock seem like left... more

A real hidden gem

If, like us, you've dropped your hire car back in the city and sequestered yourself in one of the out of town hotels near the airport because you've got a flight the next day, you may be wondering what to do for an evening meal. I happened to spy Michele's Italian Ristorante from the window of our room at the... more

fairly typical breakfast included in the hotel stay

Staff were friendly. hockey tourney kids overtook the food counter with no parental guidance. Shame on the parents.

Good free breakfast at the Best Western

Limited selection had high quality eggs and bacon and excellent coffee. No fruit available. Clean large room with attentive staff

Ambience and fine food

What a nice surprise to find this elegant restaurant, directly accessed through the lobby hallway door at Best Western Plus on Eglinton Ave., Toronto (adjacent to airport). Nice ambience, very professional, attentive service and high quality food. We chose a bottle from their nice wine selection, Caesar salad was very fresh, wood fired umbra pizza was tasty with nice presentation.... more

A great meal

My wife and I ate at this Italian restaurant on March 28, 2013 while staying at the Best Western Hotel which is attached to the restaurant. We had an excellent late-evening meal of pasta and chicken along with a very delicious dessert. The waiter was very attentive and friendly. The ambiance was excellent as well, with the slight scent of... more

Good Italian Restaurant

A bit expensive, but very good meat and pasta.
They also serve Pizza but I never tried. Service is fast and very friendly.

could have been a five if it wasn't spoiled by the antipasti

Hits:
Live music on Saturday night.
Seafood pasta large portion, fresh seafood.
Good house wine
wood burning pizza, was good
Fettuccni with chicken, salty.
Overall good services
misses: we ordered 3 antipasti and they were disappointing
crab claws, real claws not what we expected to see.
scallop stuffing too too salty
stuffed mushroom grilled very dry and black, how is... more

good dinner

stopped in looking for some Pizza. Good choice as service and food were both good. Didn't wow us, but still a good pizza. We would reccomend this for a quick late night dinner.

Loved the food. Definetely worth a try

I have eaten here many times in the last 11 Months, even had my birthday party there. I think the staff there is extremely friendly and my favorite dishes there are the pizza (Wood burning stove), the deep fried shrimp and the ceasar salad are really good, but I must say the best is their tiramisu cake, as they told... more

Great Food, Entertaining Service

It's a "small" restaurant with a big heart!
We only heard about this restaurant as I had purchased a voucher for it from dealicious awhile ago. What tempted me was the classic wood burning pizza oven and their pick your own antipasto platter option.
We ordered:
- 1 Glass Pinot & 1 Dirty Martini
- home made chickpea and prosciutto... more

Real Italian

Smal restaurant with genuine italian food in an old style setting. Watch out fo ir though, it is easily missed tucked in beside the Best Western.

Michele's Doesn't Pay Suppliers

The owner of this shop is known for not paying suppliers or employees. Stay away from the place.

made me feel welcome even a few minutes before closing time

arugula salad awesome and great house wine when I arrived. The next morning I went back to use my breakfast coupon (I stayed at the Best Western Hotel which is attached) and the coffee was nice, pastries, eggs, etc. All good and I'm a bit of a coffee snob :-)

Just so you know

Just got back minutes ago. This is a fair heads up warning to whoever may be thinking of dining at this establishment. I am all for those who are thinking of dining somewhere knowing what they are getting upfront.
The standard practice of this restaurant with so-so food is to:
1. Not include a soup or salad with your pasta... more

bad experience

My boyfriend and I visited the restorant a week ago and it was not a good experience at all. We came at around 9:30 in the evening and although the restorant was supposed to close at 11, we were rushed the whole time. We were barely given 2 minutes to choose our meals and when my boyfriend wanted to look... more

Great Italian restaurant

Good food, reasonable prices and great patio. Perfect for group functions.

poor service, poor food

Large event. Food was so so but cold. Lousy service with one waiter having a bad sense of humour. Waited too long between courses.
Good parking and atmosphere.
Live music was the best part.

Lovely

We had dinner there when staying at the nearby Best Western. Good Italian food, lovely atmosphere, live music on saturday night. Fair price. Very good service.

Good service

Good food and service. Location was great. Sevice was quick and very friendly

Don't judge the book by its cover

You must try it! I frequently stay in the area and I have walked and driven past this restaurant many times. As it is attached to what I consider a lower quality hotel, the outside appearance didn't really appeal to me and the entrance is kind of awkward. A colleague and myself where trying to decide were to eat. I... more

Awesome Food, poor crew

The night staff is clearly working for tip and if you don't tip enough, they complain when you're out ... I have been witness of this a couple of times. For a single night, you won't notice though ... more

Great Restaurant in our Hotel

Nice restaurant in our Hotel. We had a long layover on our way to Barbados and we just went to this restaurant attached to our hotel. We are glad we did... Good value and very accommodating staff. My wife is allergic to perfumes and between the staff and patrons we ended up switching to 3 different tables. The manager ended... more

Very Good Italian food

We were very happy. Service good, food excellent.

Very Pleasant Dinner

Good food, good service and reasonable rates. The ambiance is Italian with a very good menu and wine list. It is also where the complementary breakfast is served in the morning. They are open for lunch and dinner.

Michele's (or Mickele's) Ristorante is a hidden gem attached to the Best Western hotel on the Mississauga/Etobicoke border a few blocks south of Renforth. We recently had dinner there and were pleasantly surprised.

All of our meal was prepared in-house and was delicious. No Sysco heat and serve in this restaurant! We ordered our choice of 3 antipasti for two for $15 and added a pizza margarita... more

More authentic than you think

MIckele's (it seems to be written with a K, probably to ensure the Italian pronunciation) is attached to the Best Western Plus hotel on Eglinton Avenue.
We choose a hotel with a restaurant because, in this thruway and airport desert around Pearson, you are often miles from food. Even at this hotel, if you arrive after 10 p.m., it will... more

Great Food, Great Atmosphere

We were staying at the attached Best Western hotel and were planning on going out for dinner. However, the weather was quite bad, so we stayed in and ate at this restaurant. We were pleasantly surprised. The pizza was good. The wait staff was very attentive.

Great pizza

Next to Best Western Hotel, prompt service, reasonable menu.
I had their pizza which was excellent

2011 review

As Italian food goes, the food is good - lots of garlis and basil. If you want a cooked breakfast plan elsewhere as it is not offered.

Great

Excellent food and a nice atmosphere. I ate there 2 nights in a row and loved it! Great wait staff!

omg the best

i was at micheles one night dinning with my family the atmosfere was wonderful and we diden't know what to eat because the menu was so rich and everything looked so good we had the most wonderful server i highly suggest to everyone his name was blair and was from albania he helped us choosing an amazing seafood dish and also a great wine to go with our dinner i cant say how much we enjoyed our... more

Sub-standard

Perhaps it is because they provide the hotel's continental breakfast, which I also took in. Service was secondary with some attitude. Dishes dirty, not much attention to the quality or freshness of the food . if you observe they cheap out where they can. I will not patronize there anymore.

Decent Pasta, Great Pizza

The pasta was OK but the pizza from their wood burning stove was really good. The service was good and if the prices had been a bit lower and the pasta a little bit better, I'd give it a 4/5.

Mobile review

I love the name for a specific reason, but if looking yummy or yucky, this food jas a in between. It all matters if you like the food or not. I like italien food but not all foods. If you're a experimenting person, go ahead anyday. If you're a cautious person, then go and read other reviews. The thing that I like about this place is that it's near Planet Bowl!! Just a few drives and you're... more

Worst service ever

This restaurant has the worst management ever!!! dont ever go here guys....the waiter is rude and manager was even worst...no wonder they are going out of bussiness!! spend your money else where and get better service, this place is a joke.

Good food...but over-priced

We dined at the Micheles restaurant as there were not many restaurants near the Hampton by Hilton hotel.
The atmosphere was great, live band and friendly waiter (maybe too friendly). I must admit the porton sizes are very generous! But the dessert was a big let down, no dessert menu to start with but waiter told us what they had... more
