It’s super comforting to sit down for a delicious Italian meal, especially if it comes from a beloved local eatery. Growing up, one of my favorite things was when my family went to a local Italian restaurant, which sadly isn’t in business anymore. We would always order the breadsticks, which came piping hot and with a side of spicy Italian sauce.

Michigan has plenty of incredible Italian restaurants, so it would be difficult to pick a favorite. That said, the crew at Eat This, Not That! has put together a list of the best Italian restaurants in America and named the No. 1 spot in Michigan.
