Thank you, Chef Nick!”

Every dish feels personal and made with care. The staff? Super friendly and welcoming. If you’re craving real food with heart, this is the spot. 👨🍳👏”

“The owner Baylee made our first visit to her new restaurant a really positive experience. She made suggestions to meet the special dietary needs of members of our party. All of our appetizers, rice dishes, noodle dishes and desserts were really, really delicious!! Plus the prices are very reasonable.”
“I have ordered from Vivaldi's about a dozen times now and every time the food has been prepared perfectly and delivered quickly! Their food is VERY fresh and well-made!! I have dined in once, which was a pleasant experience, complete with table service, but the space is on the small side so I usually order my food using the Slice app and it is very efficient. Don't forget to tip well, their drivers work very hard! I met the owner on my very first visit and he is one of the nicest people I have ever met. I also love their prices, and they have a great variety of food I've now ordered everything from pizza (they always make it the way you like!) to their wraps (you gotta try their wraps!!! i get these more often than pizza) to their pasta dishes. They make amazing garlic bread and they have some tasty desserts too (my fave is the carrot cake!). All in all this is my go-to spot right now!!”

“I grew up in RI and now live far away. When I come back home, Christy's is a must stop. ! am fortunate enough to have shopped at liquor stores all across the country and the world. Today I had the pleasure of meeting the owner Deborah. Wonderful conversation, wonderful experience. Had what we were looking for and more. I've been shopping at this liquor store for years and just met her today. There is a reason it's right at the top of my lists as my favorite stores. There is no hometown bias, it's a great store sincerely and anyone looking for a good experience and a business worth supporting should shop here.

“I’d like to give a shout out to a local businesses where I had an absolutely delicious meal. I was looking for something new & different in the Cranston area close to Garden City that wasn’t the same old monotonous fare that I’m used to. I stopped in for lunch on Thursday as I had an appointment on Reservoir Ave & again for dinner on Sunday after I picked up a cake at Antonio's Bakery. I’d like to start out by saying, I’m half Italian on my Dad’s side (Neapolitan, from the Avelino region, & Sicilian, specifically from Messina) & a quarter Armenian on my Mom’s side (ancient Armenia which is modern day Turkey)…so therefore I’m extremely fussy about my Italian, Armenian, Mediterranean, & Middle Eastern cuisine; my Grandma (Neapolitan) & Grandma (Armenian) were outstanding chef’s in their respective kitchens, & I was outrageously spoiled as a child & very rarely ate out, I had the best of the best~those skills were certainly not passed down nor inherited by me-scrambled eggs in the microwave anyone. With that being said… The owner (who is from Syria, so you know you’re getting an authentic product) & his team provided great customer service, very attentive & patient, knowledgeable about the food they’re serving & able to explain the flavor profile of each item. The restaurant is pretty well taken care of & clean. They encouraged me to try the shawarma, I’m glad I listened, I wasn’t disappointed…now I’m obsessed. I ordered the grape leaves, hummus, & chicken gyro. The grape leaves and the tzatziki were okay, I was expecting a tangy, lemony flavor with the grape leaves along with a more traditional look as well as flavor to the tzatziki, however the hummus & chicken gyro were very good. The hummus was creamy & the gyro was light, airy, & mild…it felt like I was eating healthy. The owner provided a free sample of their falafel…which I had at another establishment years ago & didn’t like…when I returned on Sunday I ordered that along with the chicken gyro, & the owner gave me a free paklava dessert-to my surprise I thoroughly enjoyed it as I’ve found others hit or miss & off putting. Needless to say, I had an amazing experience & I’ll definitely be a repeat customer for sure when I’m in town.”

“My favorite restaurant in all of Rhode Island. I can’t say enough about this place. The food is always delicious and consistent and the staff is always friendly and attentive. Everything a restaurant should be and more 💖”
“Wonderful little place in a cute part of town! Walked over the bridge to see the water and found this place. The place is small, but the atmosphere was relaxed, the food was amazing! We shared a chicken sweet and sour plate and a sashimi plate. The fish was very fresh, highly recommend!”

“Just want to say THANK YOU to everyone who helped my mom this past Saturday night, if it weren't for everyones quick response I'm not sure if my mom would be home today making a full recovery. It's a blessing she was with my niece and at the right place for something like that to happen. Once she is back to herself and off restrictions I'm sure she will be back for dinner to Thank you all in person!! Very grateful! Thank you again!”
“Very disappointed they no longer have a liquor license. The food was delicious the waiter was great, however when I looked up at the ceiling fans i was horrified! All 3 fan are covered with a thick layer of dust some accumulation actually hand down from the blades! please get up there and clean those blades!!!”
“I can’t make this up - this is the best pizza I’ve ever had. I can’t stop thinking about the XL cheese pizza I ordered last week. I’m scared to write a review because then the whole world will find out and it won’t be a hidden gem anymore! Best pie of my life. This place is awesome. 10/10”
“Our second trip there in 5 years and it was completely fabulous. Waitress Jen was incredibly attentive, great menu and awesome food that came so fast. The cheesecake is the best we ever had and the homemade whipped cream was to die for. And it was the first time we had so much whipped cream we couldn't even finish it!”
“Amedeo Restaurant & Lounge in Cranston is truly a hidden gem! From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with warmth and top-notch service. A big shout-out to Isabella, who was absolutely outstanding—she was running around taking care of multiple tables, yet always kept a smile on her face. She made sure we were well taken care of the entire time, and it was clear she genuinely cares about her guests. Joe was equally fantastic, always ready to lend a hand and keeping a watchful eye to make sure everyone was happy. When Amedeo himself walked in, it was no surprise to see him being his usual professional and kind self, greeting guests and ensuring that the atmosphere was nothing short of perfect. The entire experience was warm, welcoming, and filled with positive energy. If you’re looking for a restaurant with amazing food, friendly staff, and a truly inviting atmosphere, look no further than Amedeo’s. Highly recommend—this place is a must-try! Thank you to Isabella, Joe, and Amedeo for making our night so special.”
“Stopped by last night and had dinner at the bar. incredible pork chop entree, great drinks, top notch service and wonderful ambiance. I'll definitely be back next week for more excellent dining.”

“Just had another delicious meal at Minh Hai. The food is fresh and absolutely wonderful -- worth waiting for! Recommend the vermicilli bowl, and the seasoned rice plates -- beef and pork are both to die for. Another favorite is the tofu and eggplant dish. Thank you!”
“yummy! As I continue to wonder thru the RI Riviera (Pawtuxet Village), I am very happy to report that I have found another winner. Poco Loco Tacos has it all: an unpretentious menu containing all the standard issue Mexican favs and some creative ones, low, low prices, a chill counter guy, and a rustic vibe. I took a chance on a basic beef taco and was not disappointed. DELICIOUS flavor, and slightly hot like I like it. If you go, you'll find indoor seating and on-street parking. Recommended.”
“Went in for some chicken Pho which was great and is definitely my new favorite spot to get it. While in there I mentioned I've never tried sushi and was interested in it. They made me a Kayla roll to try and it was way better than I expected and definitely has me interested in trying more types in the future. Also tried the gyoza and it was also a 10/10. Definitely will be back”
“Exceptional service and incredible food—I'm especially fond of their pasta!”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“My family and I have been ordering food from this establishment for years! The staff is great, delivery drivers polite and food delivered HOT!!! I think the prices are good and have not increased as much as other places. Very clean inside, and always receive a friendly greeting when you arrive for pick up or dine in. I am a vegetarian, and there are several options available. Also, they will work with you to have your order created to your needs(to the best of their ability). Can't say enough about this restaurant!!!!
Vegetarian options: Vegetarian grinders, pizza, veggie calzones, spinach pie, eggplant parm sandwich and dinner. Salads, several kinds.
Parking: This location does do a lot of business. The parking lot is a good size, some businesses close at night so there may be more parking then. At peak times as in any restaurant, you might need to park a little father away. Still close though, we have never had an issue with this in years!
Kid-friendliness: I have seen many children in the restaurant over the years. I think they are wonderful dealing with the children. Please be respectful as they are a restaurant not a daycare.
Wheelchair accessibility: Handicapped parking in front, easy access to building and enough room for a walker wheel chair et. I don't know about the bathrooms for handicap, never used them. Call and ask, they would be happy to inform you of any needs you my have and if they can help.”

“atmosphere was cute... service great. food was subpar. paid $60 for a steak sandwich that looked & tasted like a TV dinner, appetizer that tasted like canned chicken soup, and fries that were definitely under the heater for too long”
Cheap Eats
“The food is exceptional, creative, and fresh! The coffee is high quality. Employees go above and beyond to provide amazing customer service. If you haven't thought to ask for a "pup-cup" for your dog, I highly recommend grabbing one while you're grabbing some breakfast or lunch! They prepare the cutest pup-cups I've ever seen; my puppy literally loves it and he gets excited the second we pull into the wicked convenient drive-thru. I recommend Latte Love to everyone, sincerely.”
“Green Wok has been my happy place for over 2 years now! Their teriyaki beef strips are a party in my mouth - the beef is tender and juicy, and the teriyaki glaze is bursting with flavor. I pair it with their vegetable fried rice, which is always soft, fluffy and delicious! The service is friendly and always makes me feel like a valued customer. If you're looking for amazing vegan food that tastes fresh and is made with quality ingredients, then Green Wok is a must-try!”
“Sundaes has always been my favorite ice cream shop. Last year I developed an allergy to tree nuts. It is severe. Out of all of the places I have been to eat Sundaes Cranston has gone above and beyond to ensure no exposure to tree nuts. The staff is pleasant and I cannot tell you how much I appreciate the training that these employees have been given. Thank you so much. I love still being able to enjoy my favorite ice cream.”
“Since Bar Lazio opened, it’s quickly become my favorite spot to unwind, share great conversation, and enjoy incredible food. From the freshest selections to build a custom charcuterie board, to perfectly cooked pizza, pasta, and appetizers made with care, everything here is outstanding. Truly a place you can enjoy any day of the week!”
“Great experience as always. The staff is so friendly and welcoming! Highly recommend”
“I ordered the lobster roll/ lobster Bisque lunch combo. All I can say is, WOW AMAZING.!!! Something so simple was soo delicious. The Tito's smashed pumpkin martini was also delicious”

“This place is extremely clean and they make some really tasty pieces. One of them is a stuffed haddock, which is absolutely delicious. Also stuffies. That are also delicious.!! They also sell raw fish pieces that you can cook on your own. I would definitely recommend anyone visiting this business. You will definitely be glad you did!!”
“Simply horrendous!! The appetizers tasted old, Dinner was cold, BLAH!! Asked the bar for cranberry juice and got Hawaiian Punch!! Took over 3 hours for all of the courses to be served. Finally, the coffee was brought out! Yes, you guessed it—COLD AND OLD!! We never got dessert. Told waitress my husband didn’t feel well and I asked her if we could get a couple of pastries to go, she refused! Paid $40 X 2!! An awful lot of money for high priced garbage and service that took well over 3 hours to complete!!”
“This was our first time at Circe Prime and we found it to be excellent! The food was delicious - we had filet mignon, salmon and the lamb appetizer; the preparation was superior. Our server was Constantine and he was very professional and attentive. We will definitely be back.”

“I had a blooming onion and I have not had one of those in a million years. Like the dinosaurs were roaming the earth when I had one last. Was it the way I remember yes and no. It was a little more salty then it used to be but it was still amazing. I had a rib eye medium rare I was not disappointed thank you Texas Roadhouse for staying consistent and having those amazing tasting rolls.”

“Great way to go out for an easy meal. Their buffet isn't as big as others, but the trade off is the food is of much higher quality. They have all the staples, my kids love it, and the price for them is low. Children are priced by age. There is a good amount of parking and I've never had a bad experience.”
“I work down the street from Boulevard for years now. Ive gotten food from them a lot. I have never gotten a bad salad from. Always fresh, great ingredients and always tastes great. Today 5/2/2025 I ordered a Cobb salad and it has to be the best salad take out ive ever had. Everything was so fresh, not a single wilted lettuce or veggie. Perfect size and amount and great price. Keep up the great work!”
