Michael G’s Trattoria has brought a familiar Chelsea name back to the local dining scene, reopening at 22 Adams Street in February 2026. The restaurant’s official website describes it as “Authentic Italian, Family Friendly,” while the new location marks the latest chapter for a business with strong ties to the city.

 

Owner Michael Giannasca is a Chelsea native and Chelsea High School graduate who has spent decades in the restaurant business. When the original Michael G’s opened on Revere Beach Parkway in 2020, Giannasca told the Chelsea Record that he wanted to stay connected to his hometown and work with other Chelsea businesses. After that location closed in 2025, Michael G’s returned as the smaller Trattoria concept at the former Tambo 22 space.

 

The current online menu spans soups, salads, grilled plates, sandwiches, pasta, seafood, desserts, and house specialties. Diners will find familiar comfort-food choices such as steak tips, eggplant parmesan with pasta, chicken piccata, Italian sandwiches, tortellini soup, pasta fagioli, and chicken rigatoni with broccoli. Pickup and delivery are available through Uber Eats and DoorDash.

 

Customers love the generous portions and returning favorites. DoorDash reviewers have specifically highlighted large servings, hot food, fresh bread, and the sausage-and-broccoli-rabe fusilli, while Uber Eats ratings show strong interest in the steak tip plate and eggplant parmesan.

 

For Chelsea residents, Michael G’s Trattoria offers more than another Italian menu—it represents the return of a hometown restaurant operator to a new neighborhood location. Readers can explore the official website or review the current online menu before visiting or ordering.

    Was sad when the original closed, so this is awesome news! Nice to have a Chelsea guy running things. Anyone know if they’ve got a kids’ menu?

    Glad they're bringing back the sausage and broccoli rabe fusilli! That was always my go-to at the old spot. Curious if the bread is still as good as folks say. Might have to do takeout soon.

      Sam T.I got takeout last week—the bread was still fresh and warm, just like before. Definitely worth a try if you loved it from the old days!
