(See comment below) We went further down and seen Bruno's bar where ppl outside said to go if we were looking for the place to eat. It was confusing. But we went in Bruno's bar. (See Bruno's bar review!!) So the reason why it's a 3 review is because of the confusion between Deanos and Brunos, Deanos cooks for Bruno's!!!!! I would eat from here again. But it shouldn't be so confusing and just combine them!! Later in the night we did order pizza from Delano's. We went in what looked like "the back door" into the kitchen and only had a counter. You could see everything. Maybe 3 ppl could fit in there. My recommendation would to make it all one place and have a pickup spot or to go (Deanos)

My mom likes the breakfast bowl, and the rest of the crew rounds out with pancakes, eggs, and meats. The dining room is pretty large, and they've got room to open up more in the back.

Nothing here is the best I've ever had, but everything is solid enough, and there are lots of local regulars who seem to agree.

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.

The variety of toppings was also a plus. We were traveling through East Lansing and decided to try Georgio's again. I cannot remember but this may or may not be a new location-that's how many years it's been. Fortunately my wife's favorite pizza was still being made-potato and bacon with sour cream. I opted for a more traditional sausage, pepperoni and onion pizza. They absolutely were as good as we remembered. The only thing that changed were the prices! I really like being able to get a slice or two and mix up toppings which is something more difficult when you order a whole pizza. My wife's pizza and mine could not have been any more far apart. Glad we rediscovered Georgio's and will remember when traveling through East Lansing that we have another food option.

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.
