For the over 25 years Michelangelo's Deli has been serving up sandwich works of art like "The Godfather" and "The Sylvester Stallone." If you're not in the mood for a sandwich, maybe a Greek salad or a hearty bowl of pasta fagioli will suit you. The possibilities are endless for lunch, and it also serves dinner and caters parties. The dining area is as warm and inviting as the courteous staff. It is the perfect place to sit and enjoy a meal.
