An amazing places with incredible and I do mean incredible food and sandwiches. From pasta to meatballs to dessert it’s always amazing here.
Staff is fast, friendly and very efficient. Place is clean plenty of seating and done nicely. Everything is done fresh and taste fresh. Bread is soft and wonderful. Plenty of fountain drinks to pick from as well.
This is one you must try and stop at, yes parking can be hard at times but trust me and I never guide my fellow Unilocalers wrong. This is a must try before you die. So get down here and thank me later my fellow Unilocalers

Wow, Wow, & Wow again!!! Sandwiches at this establishment are by far the best in the RI area. We had the Politician sandwich and Italian sandwich. The attention to detail and customer service are first rate. This deli now carries the difficult to find and much sought after Spindrift Seltzer — Made with fresh squeezed grapefruit! The potato salad was to kill for. Just waiting for this place to open up as a restaurant!

Awesome sandwiches, awesome place. Everything’s fresh and their subs are as massive as their menu. If you consider yourself a deli aficionado or ultimate lover of a true Italian sub, definitely check out Michelangelo’s. It’s a deli so you can basically get whatever you want but I like their menu suggestions. I always get the meatless Italian (sooo much delicious cheese!) or a tuna sub. Their hard rolls are pretty good. They have a million cooler drinks to choose from and ample seating too if you want to sit in and eat. They have a tv too. It’s not fancy or anything but it’s quite nice. I’ve only had a one off sandwich but I bet they do a killing with their catering!

I’ve been coming here for years. The staff is always pleasant and attentive. There’s plenty of variety on the menu, and everything is always fresh. The prices are reasonable as well and it’s always very clean. I’ve learned not to go between noon and 1 PM, because it gets busy and the wait can become an issue.
Peace

Second visit here. Very good again. My only suggestion would be to lose the 60’s music. Very outdated.

Great to arrive on the East Coast and be greeted by an awesome Deli… friendly and welcoming with very diverse menu. Had chicken escarole soup and tuna on Rye toast. Very tasty. All others were ordering much more creative sandwiches which looked great. Eat in (order and then sit) or take out. If you are in the area definitely worth a visit. Near to all PVD hotels…

We wanted a special party to celebrate our 60th wedding anniversary. we wanted
our children & there spouses, and our grandchildren & their significant others. We do not see each other as often as we would like as the families are separated by many miles.
We wanted excellent food & drink& service we could depend on. I started doing research & decided that Michelangelo“s fit our expectations.
We got exactly what we wanted & more!
Thank you for making our 60th anniversary party a party that we will all remember.

When I first walked in I was kind of turned off but I quickly found out that I was wrong. This place is nice and quaint. The people are all really nice and there is a huge menu. I had the chicken cordon bleu, which was great, tasted like real chicken. Definitely recommend.

This is a nice deli. We stopped in recently on a Saturday. Service was friendly and quick. The menu had a nice variety of sandwiches and there were a lot of tasty-​looking prepared foods in the cold case. We were in a hurry so we just picked up a couple chicken salad wraps and a couple meatball calzones. The wraps were good, the chicken salad was fresh. The kids didn’t like the calzones. I tried one and they were definitely underdone — the dough was still mushy. The meatballs were tasty.
So, the food wasn’t great but I will probably try it again when we have more time since they have a lot of variety.

I just went there … Stayed 5 minutes in front of the counter and nobody was there… I could have taken all the money and nobody would have noticed…

I’ve gotten bad food out of their case twice
now which is why I will not return. I work in the neighborhood in the food service industry and am equally disappointed with the service. I am all for young kids working but you need to teach them professionalism, speed, customer service and food safety. When ordering delivery over the phone the customer should not hear things like «yo, you feel like doing 1 more? Seriously man it’s just up the street, just do it» as the delivery boy took his time deciding. Good to know my food and your income were based on the whim of whether someone felt like it in that moment. Firstly, maybe teach staff about the mute option on the phone or to cover it with their hand. Not that I’ve ever seen any form of management or supervision on my visits. Too many chances given of my time and money here. Save yours.

I’ve been going here for years and this has become increasingly disappointing. I live 200 feet away in Garden City and will not be back as this last visit tipped me over the edge. 13 minutes for 10 slices of meat and cheese and pasta salad AND I was the only customer?! 3 employees on including the young owner son who needs an ego check. I’ve also purchased rancid food which should have been my first sign. What an inconvenience.

My favorite deli in RI – hands down. Even after I moved to Attleboro, I still make the drive there for their chicken salad – lots of chunk white meat, celery, and very little mayo. PERFECT! Also, try their homemade pickles and my favorite side – the bowtie pasta salad made with balsamic vinegrette. The owner, Mike, is always friendly as are his staff and you can see why this family business has been around for as long as it has. In a town full of Italian delis, this one is the real gem.

Fanstastic Deli! The selection is amazing and the prices are very reasonable. You can dine in or take out.
The greek salad is absolutely to die for. I don’t even use the dressing as the vegetables are marinated to perfection! They have a list of specialty sandwiches that deserves a look at.
This is my new go to place for a salad at lunchtime or takeout for dinner. Forget about fast good!

Good Food and great lunch specials, there is a quality here unlike other Deli’s and they have plenty of pasta salads/​soups that are also very good. They are clean and professional, wish there were more shops like this around.

I am always looking for small local businesses to support, rather than big chain restaurants, so I was happy to stumble across this place for lunch one day. I work in Cranston next to Subway and near a Burger King, neither of which are particularly appetizing to me. Michelangelo’s serves up a great variety of deli sandwiches both hot and cold and a variety of other items. I was on a time crunch, so I had to make a quick decision which was difficult when presented with so many options. I found the staff to be extremely friendly, even thought they were rushing to complete orders. The sandwiches I got were tasty and unique. I am definitely looking forward to going back there soon. There appeared to be lots of regulars. which in my book is always a good sign! Thanks for an enjoyable sub done right! FYI… try the homemade banana bread!

This place is great! They have been in business for 25 years so you know they must be doing something right. Thier sandwiches are always fresh and delicious and the help is very friendly. The location is a little off the beaten path but worth seaking out. Enjoy!
