    Mikes Italian Kitchen is an outstanding experience in Italian cuisine!… I compare it to some of the finest restaurants in the North End of Boston!… I’ve been there twice now and have truly enjoyed both visits!… I wish they’d open a branch in my town in Florida!

    We had a reservation, we were promptly seated. Our server, Laura, introduced herself and took my drink order. My Husband loves differnt beers. She was sure to make sugestions and even offered him a sample. When it came to ordering dinner she was very patient with us letting us take our time enjoying our drinks and our appetizer. The jalopeno poppers are soooo good. I wanted to order the Sea Food Casserole, which was a special for the night. Unfortunely, it had been sold out. Laura helped both me and my husband pick out our meals. Sorry no pictures. Both were delious. Thier steaks are all amazing !
