Got there 30 minutes after opening and there was a 45 minute wait. So today we were in the area and thought we would try again. To our disbelief we were sat at a table immediatly. Lucky us, I thought. We first ordered beverages. When the waitress returned, we ordered an appetiser of Arancini to start off and also our main dinners which included soup or salad. We both love arancini and haven't had any since we moved from Florida last October. I will admit we are used to having Sicilian style which usually is filled with rice, saffron, meat and vegetables, like peas. To our surprise the salads came out first. We both ordered a ceaser salad which was over whelmed with parmesan cheese and very little lettuce. The Arancini arrived and there was five perfectly round what tasted like cheese balls. Some white rice with lots of cheese filling laying in a bowl of marinara sauce. We each had one ball. My entree of chicken Marsala arrived with a side of Fettuccine Alfredo. Basically it tasted like chicken with mushroom gravy. Very unappealing. The Alfredo sauce was flat, no flavor. My wife's Penne with Pesto lacked pesto. Tasted good but could of used more Pesto. I just have to say that this was the most lackluster Italian dinner I honestly have ever had. I really just don't understand the high reviews. I guess it wasn't our lucky day.

Cugino's is definitely one of the better laidback Italian joints in the greater Lansing area…read more They don't seem to take themselves too seriously and their food is darn good!

They were clearly very busy which I can respect but no where close to being organized about. Some how they ended up marking my order as picked up. I waited almost 50 minutes there for my order and no this does not include the 30 minutes I waited at home. Again, I get that they were busy but when I was the only one left there waiting. I checked on my order numerous times without any update (they would walk back to check and not come back to the counter). Multiple delivery drivers came and went and their holding ovens for pickups were empty. Again, this location needs to get more organized and work on their customer service!

We were…read moredriving through town after a later soccer game and we saw this place had almost 4 stars on Yelp so decided to give it a try. We were pleasantly surprised all-around and I do recommend this place if this is what you're in the mood for! It's a little Irish pub in Grand Ledge, with the feeling of a log restaurant in northern Michigan, so that's a win! Parking is easy and the inside is warm and inviting. The menu is the perfect size with a good selection for everyone. We ordered the fish & chips on the server's recommendation and I'd say that was a solid recommendation. We also ordered a Greek salad and I was pleasantly surprised that it was great quality romaine versus cheap and old iceberg lettuce. I commend this place for their commitment to everything presenting and tasting fresh. The beer was good -- my husband and I both ordered the Amber on draft. Service was prompt and good.

I walked in and it felt like one of those cozy little restaurant/bars in little towns up north. The menu is small, but everything on it looked really good I got the turkey club (it had some other name). It was HUGE and filled with fresh turkey, tomatoes, bacon and lettuce, along with a generous amount of fries. The restaurant was definitely one of those places that local people go to; people seemed to know each other. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area.

I odered a salami and turkey grinder with lettuce and cheese. I ordered the meal as well and it cane with a fountain drink and a bag of chips. As I waited for them to make my grinder, I got my drink and started eating my chips. A lovely lady came from the back and started giving all of us our orders one at a time. She was very sweet, and made sure we got what we had asked for. I was super impressed with the way my grinder tasted. I am usually extremely picky. The salami was fresh and tasted amazing with the thin sliced fresh turkey. The turkey was some of the freshiest turkey I have ever tasted. It was so light and airy. It went quite well with the salami. They put just enough dressing on my grinder, and light lettuce as I requested. It was quite filling. I did order a smaller size because I was not too hungry, but I did not expect to be so full so fast! It was actually quite filling, and I will order this size the next time I come in, which will hopefully be soon!

But this willpower went out the window with the sandwich I got from Mancino's. I literally did not want to stop eating it. Every bite was delicious and satisfying. The sandwiches are huge, and although I was uncomfortably full halfway through, still I pressed on because I needed that grinder in my mouth (pause). I think what makes Mancino's sandwiches so good is that they are all toasted. I think you can ask for your sandwich not toasted, but why would you? The cheese gets all melty, the bread is slightly crisp but still soft in the middle, and the whole thing is just warm and delightful. I got the BLT (bacon, lettuce, tomato), which you'd think wouldn't benefit from being toasted, but you'd be wrong! This BLT sandwich also has a mozzarella cheese blend in it, which sounds super weird for a BLT, but just go with it. I suppose you could ask for a different cheese, or no cheese at all, but you should just trust that the fine people at Mancino's know what they're doing. After all, they've been doing what they're doing since the 1930s! (According to information that I gleaned from their website. Look at me using my journalism degree.) I was able to order ahead on the phone, and they told me it would take about 15 minutes, which was perfect. When I showed up, my sandwiches were hot and ready for me. And bonus: The people who work here are incredibly friendly and efficient.
