Cutting Crew was playing over the speakers…read more At an Italian deli with a brick oven and an Italian flag hanging in the front window. (I Just) Died in Your Arms, 1986. Whitney Houston a few minutes earlier. Taylor Dayne before that. Huey Lewis somewhere in the rotation too. Somebody behind that counter was a kid in the late eighties and built the playlist around the songs they grew up with while the food their grandparents brought over from Italy came out of the oven twenty feet away. Lou Umberto opened this place in 2017 after graduating from Johnson and Wales. His family is from Cerreto Sannita, a hill town in Campania. He set up shop on Cranston Street, just outside Knightsville, on the edge of one of the oldest Italian neighborhoods in the city. Lauren and I went on a Monday afternoon. Gray skies. One of those quiet Rhode Island days where lunch slowly becomes dinner without anybody announcing the transition. Before we got inside, one of the guys working there was helping an elderly woman through the side door and walking her back toward her car with her groceries. That told me most of what I needed to know. Walk in and the room is doing four jobs at once without any of them getting in the others' way. Shelves stacked with imported groceries. Rummo pasta. Loacker wafers. Baci chocolates. Bottles of olive oil lined up beside jars of tomatoes and peppers. Along the opposite wall sits a long deli case full of prepared food. Eggplant parm. Broccoli rabe. Pasta in vodka sauce. Stuffed banana peppers. Pasta salad. Roasted vegetables. Then the bakery case. Tomato pie cut in squares with red sauce all the way to the edge and enough seasoning on top to perfume the whole counter. Potato pizza. Calzones. Spinach pies stacked on black trays. The kind of food that makes people walk in for one thing and leave with six. Near the front, bags of pizzelle tied shut with twist ties sat on a wire rack underneath a hanging sign that read Welcome Family and Friends. Normally signs like that feel decorative. This one didn't. And behind all of it, through the opening in the back, sat the brick oven. That being said. The pizza. The pepperoni pie came out raised on a metal stand by the window, the Italian flag moving outside in the gray afternoon behind it. Good looking pizza immediately. No stunt toppings. No overloaded nonsense. Just confidence. The pepperoni was placed, not dumped. Natural casing cups charred dark at the edges. Maybe fifteen slices total across the whole pie. Somebody understood restraint. The crust landed somewhere just outside classic New York style. Slightly thicker, but only enough to give the inside some chew. The outer rim puffed up high in spots and blistered dark from the oven. Flour still clung to the bottom and the back edge from the peel. The sauce tasted bright and barely cooked. In some bites it pushed forward sharp and fresh. In others it melted completely into the cheese. Sometimes all you tasted was crust, and that worked too. The cheese browned into amber patches across the surface that pure mozzarella usually doesn't create by itself. Probably some provolone mixed in there. I didn't ask. I should have asked. And the slice held beautifully. Crisp underneath. Enough structure to fold slightly at the front without collapsing. You could see the care in it immediately. Nothing rushed. Nothing overloaded. Nothing trying too hard. Just a very good neighborhood pizza made by people who seem to understand exactly what kind of place they want this to be. The kind of place where somebody helps an elderly woman through the side door before getting back to work. The kind of place that makes you think living nearby might not be the worst idea in the world. Don't forget to grab a bag of pizzelle on the way out.

Great place to go with someone who has different taste than you because the selection is vast, even different style of pizza but stay away from the white Italian one, it's addictive. My problem is that I want all of it. Even their drink variety is impressive. Don't have to read menus at all. You can walk in, see the long glass food fridge and point while grunting. Everyone else does Also, don't tell the Original Italian Bakery, the pizza chips are better here

I was born and raised in the Bronx for 33 yrs so I loveeee an Italian deli…read more I've lived in Rhode Island for three years and I've never had sandwiches as good as the ones from the Bronx until recently trying Michaelangelo's . The bread is soooooo fresh - I had a steak and cheese and chicken parm- unbelievably delicious !!! I'm actually picking up an order today for my daughter and I. I'm excited to turn her on to this place as well. Keep up the a amazing job!

A fantastic place for terrific food and casual lunching…read more My colleague and I were here last week and we chose it because of all the great reviews. What they offer is a big variety of deli sandwiches and menu items that are all fresh and delicious. This is a great getaway from the "Sysco" type food" you get at the fast food and fast, casual restaurants. This is a family owned place that takes pride in making you happy. By coincidence both of us selected the "godfather" sandwich. They give you a choice of either soft roll or hard roll. We both went with a hard roll. On this sandwich you get. grilled chicken, prosciutto, melted, sharp, provolone cheese, red peppers, and balsamic vinaigrette. Just writing this review makes me wanna go right now and get another one. Topped off lunch with an orange soda. The owner is a third generation family member. He cares very deeply about the quality of food and it's freshness. We will definitely be back.

After speaking to Dave the owner, we were met by him and his head chef at our home. We picked a menu, set the date; the day of the ceremony, the catering crew showed up earlier than their scheduled time. The food and the service was phenomenal! I cannot say enough just how courteous and professional the staff was; our guests all raved about the quality of the meal and the service. I highly recommend A Touch of Class Catering.

In the past, I've asked for extra rolls and they've been so generous that they gave me a whole bag. The price is super reasonable. Not only do they offer these combos and a full menu to order from, but their gourmet express section is packed with different options of pastas and meats that you can buy by weight. Their pastries are also delicious, and they have a huge variety. I wish I had more pictures of all these items, but I usually just run in quickly on my lunch breaks. Location: This location has its own parking, so you don't have to worry about finding a spot. There are two different areas: the express side, where you can grab and go or sit down for a quick bite, and the restaurant side, where some people dress up to dine. This place is great for different type of occasion or even just a grab and go order. Service: The service has always been quick, efficient, and friendly. Since I usually go during lunch, I often call ahead, and every time they're polite and fast. Picking up in person is always smooth, with no issues.

Off a major busy toad, but ample parking. Will definitely be back.

Ordering was a breeze and the B&M team was very responsive. On the day of our event, the catering delivery was right on time. The gentleman delivering, Dwayne, asked for a bit of direction for placement and then set up the entire buffet. He was professional, kind and fun to chat with while he set up. But the food... the food was phenomenal. Everyone kept saying we needed to order from B&M again. We did the clambake and it seemed the favorites were the clam chowder, the lobsters, the mussels and the cornbread but everything was great. All the extra pieces were included too, which was really helpful - from forks/knives to seafood crackers and ladles for the soup. We also had a shellfish allergy and they were able to accommodate - everything was cooked separately. I can't recommend them enough - they made hosting a fun party so easy and it will be a meal remembered for years to come.

The medallions of eggplant were unexpectedly tough - it was actually difficult to even cut them with a knife.
