Café Michelina

A few steps from Washington Street is a no-frills, family-owned café serving up home-style Italian comfort food. Having passed Café Michelina on the corner of 5th and Bloomfield Street on multiple occasions, I finally decided the time had come to step through the beaded curtain into the dimly lit restaurant.
