Don Michele in Dundee City

Fantastic pizza. Only downside is the place needs a good clean and the decor is a bit sad, especially in the bathrooms.

Found one the best Best Pizza shop in Dundee.

Food and service equally sub-standard. Not good value by any Italian restaurant standards.

Very ordinary. The pasta dishes were nice. Nothing special. The service was fine and the server was pleasant.

Absolutely amazing place. Been going here for years and never been disappointed! Definitely amongst our favourite restaurants. Service and food 100%.

We don't usually go to Italian restaurants when we're abroad, but after a week of meat we wanted a pizza! We were not disappointed! The food is of excellent quality in a "Scottish" style and this confirms the Italian elasticity and intelligence in adapting to whoever serves. The environment is very nice and the staff are excellent! The owner is an eclectic person, a true entrepreneur, never intrusive but very welcoming. We will be back when we are in Dundee again! Thank you!!

Overall, the restaurant and the food are good, worth visiting. My wife ordered mussels as a starter and steak as a main dish. According to her, mussels were amazing, the steak was good. As for me, the pizza was not the best of my life, in terms of dough I expected more. Food arrived a bit slow for us, although there wasn’t full house.

Worst italian restaurant I've ever been to.

We were first in so it was lovely and quiet. Service was excellent. A mistake was made with one of our drinks which was rectified right away with no fuss. Food was delicious especially the focaccia and I look forward to coming back 😀

First time in Dundee and thought we’d try this Italian restaurant in the hope of authentic Italian cuisine however it was far from it.The pasta I ordered had the smallest amount and pieces of meat I’ve ever had in a pasta dish as I had to search through the pasta and sauce to find any.My partner had the lasagne and thought it’s an Italian dish you can’t get wrong but unfortunately it was.Its fair to give restaurants a go but wouldn’t return soon unless the food improved and there was actually enough ingredients to satisfy diners appetites.

One of the best Italian meals I’ve ever had, service was also great and staff very friendly! Making it a regular spot now.

Super good pizza, nice atmosphere and even more personable owner. 😊

The spicy butterfly noodles are delicious! Tiramisu Biscoff Tiramisu delicious

I had the chicken dish. Best chicken dish I've had . Worth every penny .

A bit inconspicuous from the outside but that's deceptive. Very nice owner (speaks great German), much bigger inside than it looks and modern and friendly furnishings. Food was tasty and plentiful. Gladly again 👍🏼

Decidedly average in every way. Prices pretty good though.

Dined here Saturday 8th June, birthday dinner. 4 of us for dinner. 2 meals OK but 2 were very bland. Also extremely small portions of spaghetti carbonara. Table booked for 7.30 eventually got served at 9.00! Hour and a half bit extreme! Waitresses nice and were apologetic about our lengthy wait.

Dropped on this little gem for an anniversary meal and what a result. Friendly staff which are only outdone by the kitchen staff who gave us a fantastic meal to remember at a fantastic price. Will definitely be back as its a new favourite.

Had a delicious meal at the Don Michelle Restaurant in Dundee.

Went for dinner with my partner. She got Penne Arrabiata, I got Carbonara. The food itself was lovely, but the portion size of the Carbonara was honestly the most pathetic thing I've ever seen. Maybe 50g of pasta? I wouls give it a 5-star review if the portion size were tripled or quadrupled, but as it stands it's simply not worth the money. The portion size for the Arrabiata was totally fine, it was specifically the Carbonara.

Fabulous food and great service would have given more stars if I could

Excellent food staff very welcoming had a lovely time

I really wish I could write a good review. Used to love this restaurant years ago so decided to return. No seafood choices on the menu and no Specials on the board. Only pasta dishes were spag bol etc and were o overpriced. The pasta carbonara was tasteless, shop bought pasta and portions were small. The staff were lovely and service was reasonable it's just unfortunate there is limited choice in Dundee for authentic Italian restaurants. Please Don Michele's do better I really want to love this place again and recommend to family and friends 🧡

ARANCINI AI FORMAGGI Perfection PENNE SOPRANO So delicious And service superb Will be going again 👌😋 Very busy restaurant very popular

Been before but the menu was mush shorter and it took us an hour to get our starters. Very disappointing. No fish main course and wine list much depleted

Good quality food good service and the best pizza

If this pizza was made by an italian chef, I am Luciano Pavarotti.

Beautiful lunch out for my birthday. Food and service was fantastic. Will definitely be visiting again.

Excellent meal. Visited two years ago and had to come back for our latest trip to Dundee. The food is fresh, super tasty, the portions are good, and the service is spot on. A lovely Italian restaurant.

steak taste like salt is free today

The steak was perfect. it's definitely worth the wait we had. The service is exceptional. We had a 40-minute wait, but we didn't book so understandable. It's definitely worth the money!

Good food and the staff very friendly .

Booked last minute on a busy Friday night for me and my girlfriend. Had an amazing night, staff were great, service was fantastic and food was incredible. We'll definitely be going again

Very friendly staff. We walked in without booking and were given a table for 4 of us. Good choice of food.

Good drinks, absolutely delicious food, great customer service. 10/10

Lovely, authentic Italian food with great service

Lovely fresh food (apart from ice cream). Great service and busy atmosphere

Servers were all lovely. However felt like we had all been packed into as many tables as possible for Valentine’s Day. Had to squeeze past multiple tables to even walk to the main part of the restaurant. Then once we sat down we ordered drinks and food at 7:30. Our starters still hadn’t arrived by 8 so we asked someone and he got them out for us. Then, we waited for our mains which was until 8:30, when we asked someone again where are food was. We got told it’ll be out shortly. Finally our mains came out at 8:40 but one of them was incorrect. Overall, waiting 30 mins for a starter and 1h10m for a main isn’t great. Members of staff kept saying they weren’t busy and that was the reason for the delay but I think a bit of preparation would have helped. Was first and last time here.

Amazing place. I've been coming for 10+ years and it remains a wonderful, friendly place. Thank you!

Sorry to say , Pizza must have been grilled , top was fine , the base was soggy , not cooked in a pizza oven , cutting corners , such a shame

Really disappointing experience. Service staff were nice but not forthcoming at all, it took over 20 minutes to order our food as they kept walking past and even after making eye contact they still ignored us. Starter was served quickly which my partner said he enjoyed. However we then waited over an hour for our mains where we eventually left as we had plans for after the meal so never ended up eating it. The wait didn’t bother us so much it was more the lack of communication from staff, if we had been told it was a long wait time or if they had come around prior to update us/offer more drinks orders it would have been appreciated. I understand it was busy but everyone in the restaurant was getting unsettled waiting so long for food without being told why. I won’t be returning again.

Very friendly. Nice meal. Good food.

Booked a few weeks ago for my ever luming 40th. When we arrived they took us in like walk-ins (they later sent my partner an automated message cancelling the booking. Staff were overly friendly especially the older gentleman with my 2 girls. I was told there was no other options except for the Christmas menu. Owner rushed over 'we will accommodate' Food portions pizza was a great size, the steak and sides were incredible, but the lasagne not so much portion was teeny the garlic bread wasn't worth putting on the plate nor was the salad. I asked for broccoli with my dinner and was charged a small fortune. Won't be back in a hurry

Cold, wet Sunday night. Not many people in the restaurant. We ordered white wine and pizzas. 1stly the wine wasn't chilled then our pizzas took an hour to arrive. No communication from the staff,no offer of bread or olives while we waited, when we enquired about the delay we were told they had problems with their oven but they seemed to manage to cater for people coming in for takeaway pizzas. Very unprofessional to leave us just sitting there for so long. We won't be back, which is a pity because when the pizzas eventually arrived they were excellent.

Great meal last night with the Scottish Ducati Club at Don Michele's. 12 folk well fed. Warm welcome and great service. Food was superb. Highly recommended.

Tasty food and good sized portions, with friendly helpful service. Very good value for money.

Amazing. I've been twice in the last week and both times it has been excellent. The food is great and the service exceptional. Will definitely be back.

Lovely meal for a special occasion, staff very friendly, excellent service, great food

Wife, son and I just loved this place, first time we've been. Not overpriced but good food, great atmosphere and service.. Thin, crisp crust on the pizza was so authentic, took me back to a tiny granny / granda cafe near Rome station in 1994. Spicy linguini and plain linguine catbonara all good..

Dropped in for a late lunch (and because I’d seen the special on Facebook). Lovely staff and the Cacio e Pepe was excellent. The place has been redecorated and freshened up since the last time I visited and looks fantastic.

Had a bit of a wait as it was really busy but the food was fabulous very friendly and courteous

amazing food, me and my husband visited here for the first time and the ataff couldn't have been friendlier and more helpful, we had the lasagne and the seafood pasta along with the cheesy garlic bread. everything was absolutely delicious and the tiramisu was to die for!

Lovely atmosphere, great staff and l9vely food. Not a big menu but still a good choice.

We turned up without a booking on a Thursday evening and got a table for 4 adults and a toddler, very welcoming staff. Food was amazing, the Godfather pizza was literally one of the best i have had in a restaurant in recent times. Spicy garlic bread was also top notch, i recommend it. Tiramisu was unbelievable best i have had and i had quite alot in my time as its my go to dessert if its on a menu. Staff were great, especially one guy i didnt catch his name, but he was very good with my little one, some restaurants dont seem to appreciate kids but this family run business seems to really like having them in the restaurant. If i'm back in the city i'll definitely be back. Thanks!

Food and service was really good. Cannot recommend this place enough!

What a lovely wee place ❤ good was delicious we were also allowed to bring our pup in who was also treated to 5 star service staff very friendly especially the boss will definatly go back

Sehr leckeres Essen. Tolles Ambiente und richtiges Italienisches Essen. Die Diavola ist wirklich scharf 🥵

Sehr leckeres Essen. Sehr netter Besitzer. ( der Deutsch spricht). Sehr schönes Lokal.

This was probably the most fun dining experience we‘ve ever had. Starters were really tasty (mushrooms and mussels). Only negative thing about the starters was the bread that came with the mussels, it’s definitely not home made, but instead just cheap supermarket baguette. Mains were good as well (penne and pizza godfather, though I have to say, the pizza was more like a tarte flambee than a pizza), but the three female waiters were just too funny. They kept checking up on us and making all these funny jokes. The italian cook was so friendly and chatted with us for the longest time which we really appreciated. The local couple which was sitting on the table next to us ordered and gifted us the „italian flag shots“ which were tasty and so fun. If you see this: thank you so much! Despite the great people I have to deduce a star for the food. It was good but not great (especially the pizza was a bit disappointing). The prices were high and they didnt have the wine we asked for. My partner had a sore tummy after (maybe from the portion size or the food itself, or something else entirely, we‘re not sure.)

Ordered takeaway. Food did not disappoint. Definitely be back for more.

Sympathisch. Ehrlich und freundlicher Empfang. Deutschsprachiger Patron. Gutes Essen. Rasch bedient worden. Sehr zu empfehlen.

Would you expect an excellent Italian Restaurant managed by a guy from northern Italy in Dundee? Me not! And since I stayed a couple days in Dundee, I took the opportunity to visit Don Michele four times - four times friendly service and fantastic food. Thank you!

gutes und leckeres Essen. Z.T. sehr unterschiedliche Wartezeiten. Wir wurden vor dem Nachbartisch bedient und waren obwohl wir später kamen, mit allen Gängen bereits fertig, ehe die Vorspeisenteller am Nachbartisch abgeräumt wurden. Für uns soweit kein Problem, jedoch war die sehr angespannte und z.T. aggressive Stimmung vom Nachbartisch schon ein Stimmungskiller. Zudem hatten wir nicht reserviert (unser Problem) und bekamen dennoch erfreulicherweise einen Tisch, jedoch saßen wir sehr eng, gefühlt den anderen Gästen auf dem Schoß.

Lovely resultant and excellent friendly service, food was delicious and generous portions, Amelia, Julia and Marco were our servers and went above and beyond! Will definitely be back

My daughter's favorite restaurant first time I had been and food was fantastic and the service matched that very friendly highly recommend

The best Carbonara I've ever had in my life, it was perfect

Food was amazing. Never have I tasted muscles in a white wine sauce the way these were served. 10/10 for service 10/10 for food 10/10 for hosting. I will be back

Amazing place to get some excellent food, service, and atmosphere. The staff were terrific as were the other patrons. We so enjoyed our dinner there!

Joined my son for tea & was not disappointed! Food & service both fabulous… even got to take what we couldn’t eat home 😋 already picked my menu for the next visit 💜

Lovely meal. One of our favourite places to eat in Dundee. The staff are all lovely

A lovely restaurant, excellent staff, nice music and delicious food. We were there early and the food was just as good as in the evening. The arancini are fab!

Staff attentive, relaxed atmosphere though not too busy, but then again, I did go early. I had pasta which was nice. The pizza was also good too.

Excellent service. Food really good as usual

Always excellent - a Dundee institution

Food was so good and staff are so nice can't do enough for you

Well Iv to say one of the best Italian’s there is in Dundee pizza was to die for starter was lovely service was fantastic waitress was really friendly and attentive 5 out of 5 😁

Comida: gran tamaño de las porciones (estaba relleno después del entrante y plato principal) pero aún así decidí probar el postre. La sopa en sí estaba muy rica (el pan estaba un poco quemado), los ñoquis con champiñones me sorprendieron gratamente. La decepción fue el postre, a mí me encanta el tiramisú y muchas veces es un postre que me hago en casa. El tiramisú que comí aquí no estaba ni cerca del tradicional. Los bizcochos de bizcocho estaban secos, sin sabor a café en absoluto, y en lugar del mascarpone, ¿era la crema batida?Atención al cliente: atento e informal. El personal era encantador, nos atendieron muy bien. Siempre se estaba rellenando el agua.Ambiente: acogedor, recuerda a ItaliaEn general: gran restaurante con mucho potencial, sin embargo, todavía hay cosas que mejorar. Volvería a hacer una visita, pero esta vez no iría por tiramisú.

First time for a takeaway , wont be the last , didn't skimp on portion, or flavour delivery was spot on and it was HOT, My wife and I loved it, would highly recomend

Grupo de 6 de nosotros (3 parejas) tuvimos la mejor noche en Don Michele. La comida era increíble, las bebidas eran geniales y el ambiente era genial. Rebecca hizo especialmente nuestra noche. Definitivamente es una ventaja para el restaurante. El personal está fuera de este mundo. Definitivamente lo recomendaré a todos xx

Personal absolutamente encantador y acogedor. Muy atentos y haciendo todo lo posible para que nuestra experiencia sea lo más maravillosa posible. Para empezar, pedimos el Funghi Aglio y Bruschetta, ambos muy sabrosos y presentados de una manera original. Para los platos principales tuvimos el Linguine Pescatora y Branzino, ambos estaban absolutamente deliciosos y probando los platos entre nosotros acordamos que volveremos al restaurante pronto. El vino y los cócteles eran deliciosos y complementaron muy bien la comida. Después de haber probado algo de su comida durante y antes del encierro, continuaré alabando a cualquiera que busque una maravillosa experiencia gastronómica italiana.

Visité anoche en la última noche de EOHO. Hemos comido varias veces en agosto, y este fue el primer lugar en la calle en el que estuvimos y nos pareció MUY inseguro. Las mesas estaban a menos de 2 m.Mi esposa tenía lasaña y dijo que estaba delicioso y bien hecho. Comí el plato de "risotto" más repugnante que he probado. Me lo comí porque me moría de hambre después de haber recorrido 50 millas esa tarde. Era una papilla seca de arroz y guisantes y trozos casi microscópicos de pollo (¡muy pocos!). Para colmo, mi esposa pidió una botella de agua con gas, y le dieron un vaso de hielo y un poco de agua de un chorro de soda skooshy. Cargaron 3. 95 por esto! Si hubiera sido una bonita botella de 500 ml de SAN Pellegrino o algo, entonces bastante justo, pero eso era simplemente ridículo. El lugar está sucio y sucio y el piso asqueroso. Claramente, cerraron la puerta con llave y no hicieron NADA. . . . Luego reabrió. . . . ni siquiera estoy seguro de si fregaron el suelo. No volveremos

¡Mi amigo y yo tuvimos una cena absolutamente fantástica aquí! Nunca lo había estado, y todo fue increíble. Para empezar, compartimos la bruschetta y los champiñones, que estaban deliciosos. Para los platos principales, tuve el Linguini alla Pescatora y mi amigo el Branzino. ¡Ambos platos fueron maravillosos! Un montón de mariscos en la pasta, con una salsa cremosa, y todo con el branzino estaba súper sabroso con una piel perfectamente crujiente. El vino y los cócteles también eran una delicia. El servicio fue increíble por parte de todos. Ambos volveríamos en un abrir y cerrar de ojos :)

I have been dinning at don michelle since they opened many years ago. Always delicious and authentic Italian food. We always try different things and they are always happy to suggest options. Love the chianti Reserva. Definitely worth a visit when you are in town.

Al llegar nos recibió el camarero que cortésmente nos mostró nuestra mesa. Las bebidas llegaron muy rápido a nuestra mesa y tanto el camarero como la camarera llevaban máscaras. Las pocas reseñas antes de esto definitivamente NO fueron el trato que recibimos. Cuando nuestra comida llegó nos quedamos impactados por las enormes porciones. Para empezar, tuvimos la bruschetta y los calamares, ¡que era absolutamente precioso! Seguido de la lasaña y los penne sopranos. Ambos llegaron calientes y frescos. Sin duda el mejor restaurante que he visitado en mucho tiempo. ¡Gracias por recibirnos y sin duda volveremos pronto!

Fui aquí anoche con un amigo ya que el restaurante todavía tenía el 50% de descuento. La camarera era una chica joven, servicial y comprensiva. La comida no fue nada impresionante. En primer lugar, los precios son ridículos, es pasta y pizza por el amor de Dios. No estamos en Italia y no hay forma de que esté hecho a mano. Nuestro plato de pasta estaba demasiado cocido y empapado y el risotto estaba asqueroso, parecía arroz fangoso con guisantes y pollo. Cómo puedes justificar 16 para estos platos, no tengo ni idea. No me impresionó ver la cocina y estoy seguro de que Gordon Ramsay tendría un día de campo. ! !

Excellent service from arrival, food was hot and fresh. Nice, friendly atmosphere and very clean. Waiting staff very helpful

We had booked for our sons birthday as he loves traditional Italian food. This was an evening during the eat out to help out scheme. The waitress serving us was unfriendly and that was our first impression of the restaurant. Secondly the prices are extremely high which raises expectations of the quality of the food. The starters we had ranged from £6.95 for two small pieces of below standard bruschetta to £10.95 for antipasti platter which was poor quality and unappetizing. The arancini were cold in the centre which was alarming considering the food hygiene risks with reheated rice. Main courses included pizza costing £16.95, as per other reviews the pizza is very heavy and dough undercooked. The tomato sauce lacked any flavour and the pizzas were sadly not topped with any quality ingredients, very cheesy and we ate only small amounts of the portions. The risotto at 15.95 was warm but again not hot enough and certainly reheated and not freshly made. Final bill would have been greater than £150 if it wasn't for eat out to help out. Finally our son witnessed the waiter exiting the toilet and not washing his hands. The Male toilet was very dirty and our children had all used it. This is a tough review but it is necessary as it is not fair to charge high prices where standards are poor. This puts families health at risk where hygiene standards are not respected particularly now during the current pandemic. We appreciated the discount for the starter that was not properly heated but this was one of many errors.

Came here for dinner as our first time out to a restaurant since lockdown lifted as we’d been before about a year ago and loved the place. Service was friendly but the restaurant seemed quite understaffed. Drinks took a while to receive and my glass had lipstick on it. The menu we were given was set at around £26 per person for 2 courses which shocked us both a little. Overpriced by a good £5 for what you get. Food is good, especially the mussels (would have appreciated an extra bowl to discard the shells) but we just could not justify the price. If a pasta-based main course would usually be about £12 and your average starter £7, it’s hard to not leave feeling a little robbed. Also, my partners fork was dirty and our food took over an hour to come out. When we were paying, the staff member made a comment about the restaurants takeaway service ruining the restaurant side of things. Maybe this is something that should be reviewed. Shame as we had a fantastic experience here in the past.

Ordered 1 takeaway pizza and chips for birthday treat. Said 40 minutes delivery time. The order came 1 hour 40 minutes later. Was difficult to enjoy the meal as was so uptight with the excessive wait time. Go elsewhere.

I have visited this restaurant quite a few times before and enjoyed. I was however unhappy at a set price menu which I felt was overpriced at £25.95. As the eat out offer was on I knew a discount of £10 would be deducted so decided to stay. The food was pleasant enough but too pricey for pasta and soup so won’t be returning any time soon.

Set menu £26 for 2 course. So soup and pizza £26!!! Soup normally £6. That means pizza or lasagne is £20!! Quite obvious price up to then make it look cheaper by taking off government ,£10.

We had the very good fortune of being invited to a family celebration at Don Michele Italian Restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious, the service was exceptional and team treated us like VIPs. This was an absolute pleasure. 5 Star Establishment!!!!

We came here on Wednesday during our road trip. We read the reviews and booked a table a few days before.When we arrived, the restaurant was so busy and busting with life - a brilliant atmosphere.We were seated at a table and our drinks order taken and left to look at the menu.It was a while before our order was taken, due to how busy it was and the kitchen was running behind. However, we did not mind and were happy just talking between ourselves. The staff were really apologetic about the wait, however that was all forgotten when we tasted the food....... Oh My Goodness, it was goooooooodd.I had the Arancini Ai Formaggi and my boyfriend had the Antipasto for starters, both of which were lovely.For main I had the Calzone Tradizionale, which was so full of the meats and cheese, it was truly beautiful and filling I couldn't finish it all. My boyfriend has the Risotto Pollo, Piselle Pancetta, which was also really good. He was asked if he wanted some parmesan and received a bowl full - which he was pleased about.We didn't have dessert as we were so full but we saw other peoples and they looked really good.The staff were really friendly and welcoming. There was a slight mix up with the bill which was quickly rectified (it was a small mistake and easily done, especially when it is busy which it was - as a past waitress myself, I completely understood).It is really worth a visit and if we come to Dundee again we will be returning.

Visited here my 1st visit but others are frequent diners. Lovely dinner and staff attentive, super busy which says it all. Food was delish couldnt fault anything. Happy customer and would definitely recommend.

Very disappointing. We were a big table of 10 who visited on a tuesday night to make the most of the eat out to help out scheme. Service was slow and we had to ask for drinks as waitress was no where to be seen. One of our starters didnt arrive with the rest of them, we were told it was on its way 3 times but we cancelled it as it would of held up the whole meal. Food itself was also poor. Pasta very oily leaving a unpleasant taste and pizza was not thin and crispy like an authentic italian should be. Salmon dish was small and hardly any food on the plate. Our bill arrived and it was wrong, they had charged us for deserts twice. Aware that they are probably busier than usual but overall very disappointing from a restaurant that I have been before. Would not go back anytime soon.

Been here on several occasions recently and thoroughly enjoy every visit. Always made to feel at home with evey visit and the food is well worth the money. Would recommend.

Service was excellent and food was out of this world. Excellent value for money and will certainly visit again.

I booked an afternoon table for 4 o’clock on February the14th and was told lunch was finished and the alacarte menu was available. I was fine as my wife and I were out mainly for a good meal. When we arrived we were given the Valentine’s Day special menu £25 a head , and as I didn’t fancy any of the main courses I Asked for the alacarte menu and was told it was only the valentines menu available that day . As we were already sitting we decided to stay and ordered our 2 course Valentine’s Day special meal. I had the soup which was ok (no butter served with bread ) and my wife had the bruschetta. We usually share a bruschetta as a starter and it is generally a good portion,but this was a disaster, one measly bit of toasted bread piled with chopped tomatoes. Once the piece of bread was eaten my wife was left with a plateful of tomatoes. We mentioned this to the waitress who offered another but that was too late.The main courses were fine apart from not getting offered Parmesan for the pasta,which should be mandatory in an Italian restaurant. We paid the bill and left ,but later I went on the restaurants website and found out that our valentines special at £25 a head meal cost £11 more than we would have paid if it was of the alacarte menu . So the Valentines special meal was merely a rip off. Looking at both menus we got off lightly as our choices were more expensive than others on the menu. Don’t get me wrong the food at Don Michele is usually excellent and this is a hopefully a one off

Had a fab night to celebrate son’s birthday. Food was great with friendly efficient service. Would definitely recommend

Found this place difficult to review. Have had dinner here twice with lots of different items sampled between us. Vary from ok to very very good - depends on what is ordered I feel but I suppose that is the case anywhere! Service was fine - slow one night but they were short staffed and the waitress made a heroic effort - deserved every penny of her wages! Didn't bother us as we like to spend time over a meal and drinks. Food reasonably priced - drinks are comparatively expensive. Surroundings are homely and traditional. Happy to recommend as a good local place to eat.
