Some restaurants stand the test of time for a reason. Michael’s Back Door has been one of Mississauga’s most cherished dining destinations since 1981 — over four decades of award-winning Italian cuisine, warm hospitality and memorable evenings.
Founded by Michael Morra and now led by his son Michael Morra Jr. alongside Chef/Partner Mark D’Souza, the restaurant has evolved with the times while honouring its roots. The kitchen focuses on rustic, regional Italian cooking elevated by modern technique — think perfectly house-made pastas, premium proteins and a wine list featuring rare and carefully selected bottles.
The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between comfortable and refined. Whether you’re planning a romantic anniversary dinner, a milestone celebration or simply a special night out, Michael’s Back Door creates the kind of experience you’ll want to recreate again and again.
A true Mississauga original — and one of the city’s finest.
