This week enjoy dinner at Michael's on Naples:

"Long Beach restaurants tend toward the casual, so this white-tablecloth Italian stands out for its sense of style and elegance, with boldly colored art adorning the brightly lit dining room; it’s nice enough that you won’t feel lost wearing a tie, yet prices are down to earth; N.B. the Naples in the name refers to the section of Long Beach rather than the Italian town." - Zagat.com

"Along the romantic canals of the picturesque Naples neighborhood of Long Beach, you can ride in a gondola serenaded by real Italian gondoliers. Now, Naples also boasts an authentic Italian culinary experience to match in this elegant two-story ristorante. The downstairs is awash in whites and golds, sensuous Murano glass lamps, and crisp linens. Upstairs, a romantic candlelit terrace with a crackling fireplace hosts a well-heeled Long Beach crowd that knows how to enjoy wine and lively conversation. Owner Michael Dene warmly greets his guests tableside, while Massimo Aronne, the charming general manager, draws from his profound knowledge of Italian wines to suggest excellent pairings. Matthew Poley, formerly of La Terza, is a promising young chef with a passion for his craft; his kitchen uses only organic, free-range, seasonal ingredients, and daily pastas are all made by hand. Some of his dishes truly dazzle---like the tender, glistening beef tartare bruschetta, or the house-made burrata that ranks as some of the best we’ve tasted. Pleasing entrées include branzino, flown in daily from Italy, delicately sautéed in lemon and white wine, and rich osso buco nesting on a colorful bed of savory saffron risotto." - Gayot.com
