Reviews Summary
Michelangelos is praised for its cozy ambiance, friendly staff, and standout desserts, with many guests returning for specific dishes. However, some reviews mention issues with noise levels, inconsistent main course quality, and over-priced wines, with one diner noting that pasta and risotto seemed microwaved and garlic bread had raw garlic. Despite some criticisms, the desserts are consistently lauded as fantastic, and the service is often described as welcoming and professional, with staff like Lauren and Rhys receiving specific praise.
"Lovely little restaurant with great food and cocktails. Nice atmosphere and good service. Would visit again."

"Me and my husband stayed in Buxton for a night, that too a very snowy one! Naturally we were craving something warm. We walked into this lovely place reluctantly a little before 9pm, hoping they weren’t near the closing time but were pleasantly greeted by Lauren and quickly seated. It was a very cozy place with the best ambiance! Lauren took us order and helped us pick the dishes to our liking. We ordered Salmone Rotolato as our appetiser and it were the most amazing thing we had tasted in quite a long while. For our main course I ordered Spaghetti Con Gamberetti e Rucola (they kindly agreed to make it extra creamy) and My husband ordered a pizza with toppings of his liking (prawn and tuna). Both were outstanding! After quite a long time we enjoyed a dinner this scrumptious. By the time we were finishing up with our main course we noticed that we were the only ones sitting. Both Lauren and Rhys were super efficient and really good at their work, and didn’t get the teensy bit fidgety about us finishing quickly. Infact, after we were done with our mains, Rhys very kindly offered to bring us dessert: Caramel Cheese cake! Which was heavenly! (To say the least) At the end the chef came out to greet us goodnight. Overall it was an outstanding experience and would recommend this eatery 10/10 to everyone visiting Buxton!"
