Michelangelo’s Serves the Best Lasagna in Greater Binghamton

Italian restaurants are at the top of our family’s favorites when it comes to eating out. This past year we were introduced to the culinary delights of Michelangelo’s Restaurant, located at 465 Court Street in Binghamton (map). Devastated and then rebuilt after the June 2006 flood, Michelangelo’s serves up what I consider to be the area’s best lasagna. Filled with cheese and meat and sauce, and covered with even more cheese, it’s served in a “boat-style” bowl to hold all of the goodness. When it’s brought out, the bowl is hot with some of the cheese dripping over the edges. Yum! The portion size is very large. Every time I go I always bring some home and it’s just as good the next day warmed up for lunch. Double yum! And lest I not overlook it, Michelangelo’s also serve what I consider to be the area’s best garlic knots, which are a free appetizer.
I’m not a big fan of fettuccine alfredo, but my wife and kids are. They report the fettuccine is superb. We’ve also tried the spaghetti and baked ziti, also favorites of ours. The service is good…the food is great. Overall I’ll give it a “highly recommended” rating. If you enjoy Italian cuisine, you need to head down to Michelangelo’s and treat your taste buds.
