Michael’s Back Door Restaurant - Mississauga, Ontario

This was one of, if not the, best restaurant and dining experience I have ever had. My fiancé and I went for dinner and I got the chicken special (stuffed chicken, garlic mashed potato, and asparagus) and he got the Linguine Frutti di Mare. Both were incredible. Serving sizes were generous ... and everything was so flavourful. You could tell they took time and care with every aspect of the meal. Anthony, the owner/partner, was so kind and personable and really made the experience that much better. I am recommending this restaurant to everyone in my family. My parents are already planning to go! Also - the B52 cheesecake is to die for. It’s homemade and I’ll be dreaming about it until my next one! Read more

This might be the only Italian restaurant I would go back to. Most Italian restaurants I dined at have been bland and basic, but this place is an exception. The man who served us was able to answer our questions about the menu. He paid attention to detail and checked in ... on us to make sure we had everything we needed. Amazing service. There were little things about the restaurant that made a good impression on us like the cute lamp on the table, and the top of of bread and butter. Don't skip out on the dessert menu, it is to die for! Read more

A great restaurant indeed. I would say a hidden gem. Make sure you reserve a table. Great staff and food. The owner/partner is really nice. They serve all kinds of alcohol. Will visit again very soon. Added to my list of favourites.

I recently(I mean not recently) had the pleasure of dining at a restaurant in December 2022, and I cannot believe I forgot to share my wonderful experience until now! I attended a dinner party hosted by my boss, and I must say that the entire evening was exceptional. From the ... moment we arrived, the service team made us feel welcome and attended to our needs throughout the evening. As a Halal eater, I was pleased to see that there was a delicious vegetable salad option available for me, while my friends enjoyed another appetizer that they raved about. For my main course, I chose the Blackened Atlantic Salmon with a Maple Glaze and Apple Slaw, and I was blown away by the magical flavors. It was cooked to perfection, and the combination of sweet and savory flavors was simply divine. Now, let's talk about the B-52 Cheesecake. As a cheese lover, I was thrilled to try this dessert, and I must say that it exceeded my expectations. The creamy cheesecake was a perfect way to end the meal, and I couldn't get enough of it. To top it all off, I enjoyed a delicious cappuccino to complete the meal. Overall, I must say that the service team and the owner truly made this evening memorable. The restaurant was very well maintained, and the atmosphere was perfect for a dinner party. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience, and I cannot wait to return! Thank you for a wonderful evening! Read more

Amazing service, elegant atmosphere, and even better food. I got the braised beef short rib and my wife got the gnocchi napolitana. Both dishes were amazing and our server recommended the braised beef which was a great recommendation. We also got the soup of the day (roasted red pepper with ... corn salsa) and the charcuterie board which were both also amazing and worth the price. Our server, Carrie, was also very friendly, professional, and non-intrusive. Overall a wonderful dinner. Read more
