Mike's Italian Kitchen - Knightdale

My daughter I had an early dinner here Sunday our server Sierra was wonderful! The salad was fresh, crunchy cold. Even the dressing was delish. The bread just came out of the oven her garlic herbal butter is to die. The lasagna, the raviolis with cream sauce even their meatballs were all top notch. We live locally, so we will definitely try again their pizza other entrees!

Have not yet eaten in the restaurant area, but have ordered to go a few times it was still amazing! Service, friendly staff delicious food!

Keep with me because this review is a little long! It starts on an acidic note, but I promise it will be better! We live on Mike's street and we were so excited when they first opened. We love to support small businesses, so of course we went one month or two after they opened first. It was so terrible. So soooo bad. Then you get the bill and you're still crying on the inside because it's crazy expensive and you've made better chicken parmesan in your own kitchen and you're not even so good from a cook. And the bread was rolled up pizza dough and flattened in sticks, almost? It was terrible. Well, a few months later, I'm looking at the community page on Facebook. (Knightdale Community Information is quite entertaining, but this is another story. Someone totally fled over Mike. I hopped there and immediately asked if they actually have taste buds or what. Mike has a new cook and the food was fabulous now. Last night, after a lot of conviction, I got my husband and son in the truck and we went to the long drive of about 3 minutes to give Mike's another attempt. We moved up and it's at 7 pm at this time and there are only two other parties. I started getting a little nervous because I starved and I got quite a slope and I was afraid our food would be unusable again. Our waitress comes out (Claudia, I think?) and she was wonderful. Very patient with my very excited 5 years old, who was so happy that he would be able to get pizza after I had shot this idea earlier on the day because we had just pizza the night before. We made our orders, man ordered the Shrimp Scampi, the child obviously got pizza, and I ordered the cheese ravioli. (Yes, yes, I don't know very adventurous, but I was still skeptical about our last visit. Bread and salads come out. It was really BREAD! Warm, tasty, obviously no pizza crust. Bread! I'm sorry, I love bread. Then we get our entrees. My son's pizza was huge! He got it from the children's menu for about 5,50 and it was delicious. (Yes, I stole a bite! My husband's scampi was good. There were at least 7 shrimps and they were huge. They were also delicious. The court had a little more lemon than my husband would like, but overall it was still good. For 14.99 it was really reasonable because of the huge shrimp he arrived there. My cheese ravioli was amazing. The sauce in which they were was soooo good. It was a tomato cream sauce I believe. Anyway, it was amazing and if I could, I would take a gallon from this house to put it all up. My court was 10.99, I think. The portion sizes were generous. If I hadn't been starving, I would definitely have taken some of my food home. My husband and son brought the rest of their house for lunch today. When the bill came, I didn't sleep quietly in my eyes. It was $38.00(before the tip or somewhere around. And as I said, the man and our son have taken some of their food home, so was lunch for the next day (Score! The food was amazing, the staff was great, I would say that was a successful retry! Now that I write this review, I will seriously take care of the dinner tonight to try something more adventurous than the cheese ravioli, as the new cook clearly put it down. Absolutely try it! Even if you were already there and weren't impressed by their food (like us. I'm so glad we made it. This new cook really helped turn this place around!

What all the others have already said plus more, more, more best Italian food in the area and the pizza is for love to die that we no longer have to go to Raleigh, just a few short miles for the best dinner ever. Love Moe and his employees a better group cannot be found where For those who were not there you owe it to make the trip to Knightdale. Try the Lemoncello Cream Cake

After a rough day at work my husband and I decided to drown our sorrows in Italian food. Being relatively new to the area we took to the Internet to find somewhere. Saw the awesome reviews on Mike's and decided to give it a shot. We have only been there once but I can tell you that we will definitely be going back!! The vodka cream sauce was honestly the best I have ever had!! I was told that Kevin is the vodka sauce master!! Our server Sierra was excellent!! We can't wait to go back and will be bringing friends and family. Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience and incredible food!!!
