Food wasn’t good, didn’t come out as it appeared on the menu. Tables were small and cramped. Lighting was awful. Felt like I was in a hospital.

If you are expecting a Pats Johnston experience, this isnt it. The food was decent, but no where near the original. A few things to note: There is no bread with dinner. Menu is much smaller. We weren't allowed to do the $45 special for some reason, never really got an explanation why. Veal parm had an off taste, sauce seemed much chunkier, undercooked bacon and mostly romaine tops in salad, homemade pasta overcooked and water at the bottom of the dish. Tossed our leftovers the next day.

Had the Eggplant Napoli... absolutely delicious! Large portion size (2meals for me) crispy, and the perfect amount of sauce...also delicious!! Our server was great too...highly recommend!

My favorite restaurant in Cranston. Their sauce is great. I usually order takeout and typically go with the chicken parm with the homemade radiatore and mozzarella triangles. Food is always delicious and the portions are big so I get two meals out of it. Sometimes I'll go with their paninis which are great too. Highly recommended.

Good recipes/food. If you want good Italian food at a deserved price I definitely recommend this place. The cons are: service doesn’t care about cleanliness. Dirty glasses, walls, and napkins.

I ordered kind of off the menu, an eggplant parm panini, and it was perfect & delicious! My wife had the meatball panini; again, delicious. Two simple items made perfectly. Can't wait to come back with more friends and try the Pancetta Risotto. Thank you for a wonderful lunch.
The meal was incredible. 2 for $35 and well worth the price. 2 for $35 is offered Tuesday through Friday.6/6/23: We love this place! Another delicious lunch today. The waiter was friendly. The food, as always, was scrumptious. I had the Eggplant Napoli upgrading to the home made pasta. My friend had spaghetti and meatballs. My tastebuds had a very happy day.They added burgers to the menu. They sound great. However, I don't know if I could eat here and not order their wonderful and hardy Italian meals. Can you? I dare you!

I had the chicken parmesan with homemade pasta. The meal was quite good but not outstanding. The chicken, the best part of the meal, was tender and flavorful. Tomato sauce was mild. Homemade pasta was a bit mushy. Nothing exciting but not bad either. I also had the garlic bread which was not particularly garlicky. Service was quick and friendly but note that there was only one other group in the restaurant so it was almost empty. The cost was high for the area.

The consistency between their locations is amazing. The Fra Diavlo with homemade pasta is my go to. The sauce has a nice kick that doesn’t take away from the flavor. Start off with the stuffed mushrooms.

Reservations on a Saturday at 5 pm, party of 4. Food was delicious. Drinks were made well. Agnolotti was delicious. Their pink sauce was amazing. Chicken and Veal Parm dishes were great. Extremely tender. Had calamari and bruschetta for app. Very good. We will definitely be back. The only thing to mention when making reservations online it asked if we wanted upstairs or downstairs seating. Never being there before we were unsure. I chose upstairs, but upstairs is just a few stairs with a small area for seating. Not sure why the distinction between the two. I highly recommended this bistro.
