Had tickets to see A Bronx Tale at the Park Theatre. Was looking for place to grab a quick dinner Saturday evening. It had 4.9 star review. The food and service were great. Would give them a 6 out of 5...the owner personally spoke to every table..A definite must try restaurant..

So I used to visit this location when it was “Culinary Affair” and would go while my son was at his soccer practices. I was devastated when they closed after loving and craving their pink vodka sauce and chili dishes…and the fact they were only 5 minutes away from home.
When a new restaurant opened - I was defiant (lol). However, I gave in, because ummm I still wanted a fav restaurant 5 minutes from home I can treat myself to. I first visited on Monday, November 21,2024. Pleasantly surprised with their decor updates and very clean and homey style. I ordered the Caesar Salad and the Tortellinis (added grilled chicken, which was perfectly cooked). The Caesar salad dressing is DELICIOUS (comes with white anchovies, not many places include this, and it’s my fav on Caesar salad). They also include a lemon wedge, although not a big deal for some, for me it is because coincidentally I always request lemon wedges with my Caesar salad, just adds that extra flavorful touch- one less step in my order process, that’s a win. I then ordered the tortellini, and my expectation for the pink sauce to be phenomenal was sure to set this place for failure - IT DID NOT. Holy cow was it perfection. They include fried bits of prosciutto which adds a nice salty taste to it. I’ve also had requests for bacon (almost similar) to my pasta and pink sauce at other locations. Seriously, get out of my head MakMak!!
Long story short - I was craving that Caesar and pink vodka (I’m on a diet ?) so I went again yesterday (Wednesday), naturally. Crystal introduced herself as one of the owners, funny and very likable person, who is very proud of the restaurant and her husband’s cooking (cannot blame her!). I ordered the same AND actually went in for a desert. I am not a big sweet tooth person so I ordered the mini carrot cake (I mean it’s carrot cake, come on) - it was perfect as well, the cream cheese frosting had to be homemade, not too sweet and a hint of lemon and some candied walnuts (I believe) added a perfect balance and texture to the perfect not-too-sweet carrot cake.
I have found my next new favorite local spot! Welcome to the neighborhood!!! Xx

This is a small family run business. Very kind staff. The food was excellent we ate there 2 days in a row. Can’t wait to try other items on the menu. The salmon in the chicken masala were excellent. I highly recommend you make reservations. It gets very busy after 6 o’clock.

This place is amazing. Excellent service, great portions, friendly staff, and the flavors are perfectly balanced. One of the best restaurant experiences I've ever had. The owners take flavor and service to a whole different dimension. If you try this place, you'll just want to come back for more.

Tried Makmak Eatery for the first time and it was a great experience from beginning to end! Ordered several different appetizers, entrees and desserts. Everything was soooo tasty !!! My son ordered the pink vodka pasta dish and WOW ! So good ! Highly recommend this new restaurant in Cranston ! Will definitely be back !!
Fantastic food with excellent staff and service. While this place is new, they really have it together with consistent food and friendly staff and service. The owner comes around checking on everyone both staff and patrons showing a genuine passion for her business. Looking forward to future visits, and supporting her continued success. Great job ??
