“This place has the best indian food i've ever had and quickly became my personal favorite restaurant from the first time i've ever had it. they serve several authentic indian dishes with amazing flavors but my personal favorites have been the butter chicken, the chicken and shrimp short breads, tandoori chicken, garlic naan and mango lassi. The service was amazing and the restaurant was decorated so nicely! 12/10 would definitely recommend coming here!!”

“The BEST smoothie spot in Rhode Island. Their standard menu items and seasonal specials are all amazing - Tropical Chaga Monster, Emery smoothie, vegan lasagna, breakfast wraps, I could go on.

“Just wanted to shout out the bartender tonight who was taking care of the whole house. He got to us quickly, served our drinks quickly, was polite and friendly. Watching him get to everyone almost exactly when they needed him was a treat to see. Great atmosphere, calm and inviting. Love this little gem, all local clientele having a nice and quiet evening. Definitely worth stopping in and trying food and drinks. Didn’t eat tonight but have before and everything is incredible. Italian nachos are to die for— best appetizer for sure.”

Ceviches By Divino ® Cranston 1000 Chapel View Blvd #100, Cranston Sushi Bar • $$
1000 Chapel View Blvd #100, Cranston

“3/9/2024 In the heart of the RI Empire, nestled amidst the mighty Garden City, there stood a humble yet vibrant eatery known for its delectable offerings. The air was filled with the scent of roasted meats and spices, and the bustling of patrons echoed through the cobblestone streets. As the sun dipped below the horizon, a group of colleagues embarked on a journey to this exciting establishment. I had heard whispers of its tapas-style cuisine, promising portions that were not overwhelming but perfectly suited for a satisfying meal. To be honest this is what attracted me to this forbidden experience. The path to the restaurant was uneventful, save for a minor hiccup in the reservation mistake made from someone in our group, swiftly resolved by the gracious hosts. As we entered, our eyes were drawn to the shining sign bearing the restaurant's name, a beacon of Latin flavor in their midst of Cranston, RI. Seated amidst the cozy ambiance, our gazes wandered to the far end of the room, where two familiar faces awaited. Like royalty perched atop Machu Picchu, two coworkers exuded an aura of grandeur, setting the stage for an evening of culinary delights, like a true Quoya and Sapa Inca. As the only Hispanic among them, I found myself bombarded with questions about the menu, each inquiry met with amusement and patience. Our waitress, Regan, a spirited soul from the distant land of Pennsylvania , greeted us with warmth and guided us through the gastronomic journey ahead. With tantalizing ceviches that danced upon our palates and entrees like Lomo Saltado that delighted our senses, the evening unfolded like a symphony of flavors. The kitchen became a stage, alive with the rhythm of knives and the crackle of flames, offering a spectacle to accompany our meal. And then came the pièce de résistance – a chocolate dessert crafted by the talented hands of Grace, a burgeoning pastry chef with dreams as lofty as the mountains themselves. This decadent creation stole the show, leaving our taste buds singing with delight. As the night wore on, conversation flowed like the sacred rivers of the Andes, fueled by sips of margaritas that struck the perfect balance between strength and subtlety. And amidst the laughter and camaraderie, amidst the flavors and aromas that filled the air, we found ourselves transported to a realm where time seemed to stand still, where every moment was savored like the finest delicacy. As if by happenstance, our time at Ceviche Divino felt like bidding farewell to an era. With the clocks set to turn one hour ahead from here on, today felt like a poignant goodbye!I had a blast at this joint, seriously! I'd totally recommend it. The portions aren't ginormous, which is exactly what I was after. I mean, between you and me, I've been to more business meetings than I can count, and I'm all for less food if it means fewer food comas in the boardroom, am I right?”

Iannuccilli restaurant 1791 Cranston St, Cranston Italian • $$
1791 Cranston St, Cranston

“Iannucilli Restaurant is absolutely fantastic! My meal was amazing and I'm not joking. I was apprehensive about getting the veal chop Parmigiana, but I'm telling you it's the best thing on the menu. We were a party of 4 at 730pm Saturday night. There was a chicken special, gnocchi, linguine and clams(white clam sauce) and my veal parm with capellini. My dinner was absolutely the best on the table. While the other meals looked great the linguine and clams was a bit dry- while at the other table right next to us, there was an vat of white clam sauce dripping over the side of the plate.I'm basing my review of Iannucilli on my meal only. Get this meal. You won't be disappointed. In fact our appetizer- cannellini beans, broccoli rabe and sausage was awesome too- but I think there could've been a little sauce to accompany this. I'd go so far as saying that I'd order that as an entree if it had 2x the beans, sausage and rabe. <-Nicky that should be an entree, the app was delicious!Our desserts were great too but I asked for an afogato- espresso with vanilla gelato. Simply put it was the best ending to a great meal.”

It wasn't busy to our surprise. Try the stuffed zucchini, it was so good! We had a special available that night with a teriyaki chicken served in a halfed pineapple with veggies and chicken.

“Trust me, you don't need to order double boba - you get plenty with the one order lol. I ordered double boba in both the dirty brown sugar milk tea and the peach green tea, and I'll admit it was too much boba as it filled half the large cups. However, both drinks were delicious and I went back in to get more of each without boba to drink tomorrow. My only complaint is this place can get busy and there can be a huge line of online orders, but the employees work pretty efficiently together to get everything made timely.”

“First time trying them and I must say I am impressed. The atmosphere was good, plenty of seating. Food was fantastic, I had the 'Create Your Own Pizza' and would rate taste 9.5/10 but the price is a bit much. $11 for the base, $4 for cheese and $4 per meat toppings. Making it over $20 for an 8 sliced Pizza. But in the end taste to price ratio it was worth it. As for service I gave a 3 people our server often got distracted with one of her friends that walked in. It started as we told her what we wanted to drink and a good 5-6 minutes go by before we received our drinks. Food came out pretty quick tho. So overall rating I'd give it a 4.2 Star review. I'd definitely get them again.”

“Located in the heart of Garden City which is always a fun place to visit with family and friends, my spouse and I went into Avivo with no expectations. On a Friday evening, the restaurant was busy but there wasn't any wait. We got a spot at the bar, and our bartender was really friendly and attentive. We ordered a few drinks and dinner. I had an espresso martini which was delicious. They had a great selection of wine and the bartender found one my wife really enjoyed. The food was great, I had a chicken caesar salad and the Mrs had a wrap that I did not try but she thought it had great taste and was very fresh. Would love to come back and try more food soon. Definitely found this to be a great place for a night out.”

We got the meatballs as an appetizer which were really good! The meatballs were HUGE. Then we had veal marsala and veal saltimbocca as our mains and they were packed and delicious. It was also all you can eat bread and salad! I definitely recommend coming by on a Tuesday night - it wasn’t that busy, but it definitely was not empty either. The atmosphere was awesome and we would definitely stop by and hope to get Brittney and her wonderful service again!”

“My family tried takeout from this neighborhood restaurant for the first time last night. The food was across the board delicious. We had the meatball sandwich, the tuna melt, the short ribs, garlic bread and caesar salad. The meatballs were very tasty, had the right texture and the marinara was fresh tasting and perfectly seasoned. We are Italian so we are fussy about meatballs and sauce!We will definitely be back to try some new dishes but we don't get takeout again because of the styrofoam takeout containers. Hope they get eco friendly containers in the future.”

Chennai Express - Indian Cuisine 745 Reservoir Ave, Cranston Indian • $$
745 Reservoir Ave, Cranston

“If you are looking for a larger Indian restaurant with a hostess, fancy decor, and some scheduled belly dancing for entertainment, this is not it. If you are seeking really well prepared, authentic Indian food, in a cozy neighborhood spot, then this is the place you seek.I've seen this place when it first opened. I remember making a mental note to go in then just kept forgetting about it. Well, seeing that it still exists about 3 years later, I was convinced there is something special about it so this time, I headed in.Chennai Express is hands down, the best Indian restaurant in RI. Step into the small spot for ordering to-go or dining in, and your nose will be treated to the fragrant, mouthwatering aroma of dishes being prepared in the kitchen. I walked in and sat down on an empty table to peruse the menu for a to-go order. It was a challenge picking which dish to order as the menu presented a host of delicious options--from the more popular Indian dishes, to very authentic sounding appetizers and entrees. I wanted them all. Ultimately, I decided on Shrimp Biryani, Butter Chicken, and Nellore Fish Curry. These did not disappoint at all. The rice and chicken were not dry and the sauce were so flavorful.While waiting for my order, I have witnessed how busy Chennai is for take out. There's a quick cycle of pick up orders on the counter. A small group sat occupied two of the four 4-seater tables. I cannot help but look at their orders, taking note of the dishes for my next visit (yes, I was already planning coming back even before getting my order).Tip: Bring some cash so you avoid paying a surcharge. They take Venmo, too.I get home and excitedly open my package...mmm...worth the wait. Chennai Express is the real deal.”
