Sans the trite clichés, Michelangelo’s Deli Express has been serving up picture-perfect Italian creations for close to 20 years. Homemade prepared dishes to go, such as baked ziti, lasagna, eggplant, and spinach Florentine line the display case along with some of the best Italian tuna in Cranston, a city loaded with top-notch Italian delis and hole-in-the-wall grinder shops. But the signature sandwiches bring ’em back — the fantastic GoodFella, with grilled chicken, prosciutto, provolone, peppers, and balsamic vinaigrette, or the Sylvester Stallone, with meatballs, Italian ham, and melted fresh mozzarella. The most intriguing could be the Hillary for Presi­dent, combining turkey, pastrami, bacon, Pepperjack cheese, mustard, and horseradish. Open Monday through Saturday from 9 am to 5 pm. 995 Pontiac Avenue, Cranston | 401.781.8383
