Two shuttered restaurants have merged to offer a new twist on Italian-American cuisine.  Magnolia's (formerly Magnolia's on King) has joined forces with Michael's Little Italy and is now operating as Michael's on King at 703 King St.

Dinner service starts at 5 p.m. nightly, and brunch is offered Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. Reservations are recommended and the dress code is "casual elegant.""My hope is that I’ve created a menu, a setting, and a mood that allows you to experience this culture, even if just for one night.
