Bella Michael's has uniformly excellent execution of Italian staples, but if there are specials offered, strongly consider them. My wife and I have dined here on 3 occasions, by ourselves and with others and have been uniformly impressed with the creative specials on offer. The wine list isn't large, but most offerings pair well with the menu, one or two... More

Recently stayed in Oneonta, NY and this restaurant was recommended by hotel. So off we went, we found the waitress to be very unpleasant and boarding on rude. The interior was very basic, we expected some thing nicer. Service was so-so, quality was good to what is this. Wine choices on poor side, good choices, clean and well maintained. Seafood... More

Its just such a great place..........wonderful atmosphere and service but best of all great food! This time I tried TWO desserts and I was not disappointed.

I eaten here weekly since they opened and can honestly say I've never had a bad meal. The specials are amazing and the only thing I order usually. Great generous drinks. Attentive friendly wait staff. The owner and chef Alex is the best.

The menu has a lot of choices for lunch, and three interesting lunch specials were offered. I chose the fish fry which came with fries and slaw. My friend had a sandwich... More

Entrees were quite large & included house salad. Stuffed eggplant came with a side of mixed vegs that were surprisingly delivious, as was the eggplant.

This friendly family-owned restautant is a gem (as is Jeanne). The chicken parm and lasagne were BIG hits with our 17yr olds; they should bottle Jeanne's olive oil dip! I'd buy it!

But it's not in my neighborhood. Everyone is friendly, the service is very personal and the food is great. Stop in for a perfect martini and get a couple of appetizers to share. You'll love it!

We've had trouble finding restaurants in Oneonta that can provide good food at good prices with excellent service. Bella Michael's succeeded on all fronts. Our three lunch entrees were not only very tasty but very reasonably priced. and most impressive were the hard-working bar and wait staff, who were handling a large party in the back room while providing superb...
