So good. We went at 5:30 on a Saturday and it was empty. By the time we left, the place was packed. Our waitress was very polite and friendly. They gave us bread with garlic and oil to start - so good. We also got some salads and the Italian nachos - also excellent. They had a reasonably priced wine list and bottled macro beers. Their drink menu was also very good with unique twists on standard drinks. The bartender was very interactive and recommended several drinks. I had the gnocchi with red sauce, my husband got veal parm, my brother got pizza, the rest of my family got parm with pastas and vodka sauce, etc, etc. Every meal can be customized based on what sauce, pasta or vegetable, etc, that you'd like. The prices are very affordable. The one hiccup was that my mother ordered eggplant parm and they brought her chicken parm. They quickly made her another dish and took it off the bill without us asking which was very polite. She thought it was a little greasy but that was the only complaint. It was under $200 for 6 people with many appetizers, entrees, wine, and more. I'd go back! read more

Amazing dinner with family! Service was great, consistently checking in with us and filling our drinks. Weathered of us had the eggplant special with pink sauce which was phenomenal! The fried artichokes were delicious. The espresso martinis topped off the meal perfectly! Ambiance is casual but comfortable. read more

As always excellent experience from start to finish. Friendly staff, phenomenal food, what else can you ask for? Thanks Amedeo & Angela for a lovely night out! read more

It was a cold January night, the streets were bare and the hunger was consuming me. My girlfriend and I were looking for a good Italian restaurant to celebrate our anniversary. After looking at a couple reviews we decided to give this place a shot and let me say we were NOT disappointed, Amedeo's was a well rounded experience. The entire staff was fantastic, they took great care of us, made some jokes with us, very attentive. The food tasted like my own great grandmother made it and I couldn't be more satisfied. The gnocchi and chicken parm with pink sauce was lights out and I will recommend this place to anyone who wants top notch food read more

Not good at all. The food did not appear to be resh nor did it taste fresh. Its sitting in the back seat of my SUV when it's been since yesterday. You could taste the old oil that the chicken was fried in, and the gravy had a sour taste to it. Would never return far too many other places in RI. Try Al Fornos or Camilles for great Italian. read more

The food is excellent especially the red sauce and the real Parm. everything on the menu is excellent. It's a small place but the atmosphere is comfortable and the staff is personable and friendly. If you're looking for some great Italian food, check it out! read more

OMG. This place is awesome. Food was outstanding. The service was impeccable. I got the chicken francaise, string beans, roasted potatoes with the bread on the side. Highly recommended Thanks read more

Places are owners are incredible. These people really do take care of you once you're done. Go check out the CIGAR SHOP on the other side of the parking lot. Can't miss it. read more

Great food but the place turns into a nightclub after 8. Which means time to move on! Also quite surprised for a "martini bar" they use salad olives for their martinis. read more

Got takeout last night. 10/10. Everything was amazing. Best pink sauce ever! I don't usually post but I'm in the business and I felt I needed to share. read more

This place has great food in a small and comfortable dinning room. We got here early about 5:30 I was surprised we were the the only people sitting at a table to eat, with two people at the bar, so I was a bit nervous. Well Joe alleviated my concern he was polite, yet funny and attentive to our need for more time to look at the menu due to our chatting. The drinks chocolate martini and ameretto sour where spot on in taste and presentation. The three in our party all got the Chicken Francaise which was the size of the dinner plate and the Francaise sauce was fantastic. This was definitely a wonderful surprise and much better then the nearby old standby. By the time we left all the tables and bar seats were full. Obviously, lots of people realize how great this place is. I will be back with my boys and husband they will love it as did I. read more

Have not been here in a few years. Totally surprised (In a good way) about the food. We had chicken piccata and chicken marsala- both were outstanding. The bartender made a great drink and the service was excellent. Knightsville is becoming a Cranston destination for Italian food! read more

Not good. More typical generic "Italian" food. This is not what the world or the area needs. A bunch of fake loud wise-guys, maybe some are real, but even that is lame, hanging around trying to look cool. Try another restaurant. This place is trash. read more

We love Amadeos. Best chicken and veal parm do t waste your time at Marchettis, red sauce is so good you can drink it. They also have home made ricotta gnocchi like little pillows of heaven. Greg is the best bartender he's a doll. read more

Pretty Good - Service Issues Nice small goomba kind of place. Very Cranston Italian's running this place and you can tell they concentrate on regulars. The food is very good, straightforward Italian fare. We have shrimp bruschetta and a couple of sandwiches. Great bread and quality ingredients. The only issue here is service, it's a by slow because the staff seems to get stuck talking to friends that come in. It took 15 minutes for us to get our check processed. Overall: A pretty good spot, probably a great spot if you go in several times and they get to know you better. Thanks read more

My wife and I visited Amedeo Restaurant. The food was delicious and the service was amazing. Love it!. read more

Went yesterday with some friends. First time for all .. great small family atmosphere. I believe we were served by the owners who were very attentive. Had the veal parm. Have to say one of the best I've had. Veal was tender lightly breaded and cooked perfectly. The gravy was delicious, tasty with just the right spice combo. Cocktails were great as well. Keep up the great cooking ... I'll be back read more

Wow wow wow. Went to the establishment on Saturday night. Great service. I ordered veal parm. I believe this is one of the best meals I had ever had. It was cooked perfectly. I will be back Thank you so much for a great meal. Great place. read more

Excellent food, great customer service, huge portions. Overall you have to try it for yourself.

Had an early dinner there last night. My husband and I arrived around 5:30, there were only a couple of people at the bar. By the time our dinner arrived it was pretty packed. I ordered the eggplant parm and my husband got the chicken parm and we had a nice bottle of valpolicella for only $28. The ambience is pretty casual. Lots of TV's in the room, the bar seats about 12 and the restaurant itself is pretty small. The food was delicious, particularly the sauce ( or gravy :). Service was excellent. May be our new go to place for a quick bite. read more

You want well made traditional Italian food? You've come to the right place.. Eat where the locals do!

Hubby and I went in to grab a quick drink while waiting for a table "across the street." While waiting we previewed a menu, and I must add, the delectable scent made us order an app. It was love at first taste. The balsamic glaze on the bruschetta will absolutely blow your mind. We also ordered fries parmigiana, and holy smokes, watch out for those--- they are unbelievable tasty. We couldn't help but order dinner!! I had the chicken Marsala and my husband had shrimp ravioli with pink vodka sauce. We couldn't complain about a single thing if we tried. I cannot forget to give a nod to the attentive and courteous service. Our waiter was exceeding expectations as it was, and the owner personally checked on tables multiple times, our table included. If you're in the Cranston area, Amadeos is an absolute "must try." After our experience tonight we are sold! read more

I got the spaghetti and meatballs so good.....The sangria was delicious.........I tried their tres leche cake it was moist ..........Great place for drinks and food.....Tastes like homemade Italian cooking!!!! The sangria is really good !!!! read more

One of my favorite places to grab a drink in Cranston. Upscale lounge type atmosphere. Nice mix of people 20-40's range. They have some different cocktail concoctions besides all the normal drinks you would expect They do Kareoke one or two nights during the week and I believe Amedeo the owner was actually on a season of American Idol. The most underrated part of the place...the food. The food is just amazing. The portions are huge and the pricing is beyond reasonable. One of my favorites and a must try are the Italian nachos. They still put tortilla chips but they use a ricotta cream type sauce with bolognese, olives, and tomatoes. They are just awesome. The pink vodka sauce is spot on and everything you would want it to be. Overall just an Awesome place. Not that big so on a Friday or Saturday can get a little cramped but beyond that you have to check it out. read more

What I loved - Open till late, One of the most delicious pastas I have had in a while. It was a classic Mariana which I'm savoring as I write this review. read more

We tried to go to Marchetti's across the street but it was packed! Saw a line and wanted to see how long the wait was, couldn't even get to the hostess to get an answer. Tried calling several times, the phone was busy. Finally got an answer but she put me on hold forever! So we left and came to Amedeo! Got greeted right away and had a table ready. Service was good. Food was delicious, just took awhile to come out. But well worth the wait! I got the fettuccine alfredo, the pasta was awesome. read more

I must admit, the only reason my family and I opted to try this restaurant is because Marchetti's was packed on a Saturday night and we could not find parking. Conveniently, Amedeo is located just across the street from Marchetti's and really proved to be a pleasant surprise. I did not know what to expect or even what type of food they served. The restaurant is small but nicely decorated. You can tell it is newly renovated and possibly the owner's first restaurant. The menu was pretty small, but the prices were VERY reasonable. They serve mostly Italian fare. We ordered Calamari for an appetizer, on the menu they only had buffalo style calamari listed but our waiter (and I'm thinking he may have been the owner as well) said they would prepare it any way we wanted. We opted for the traditional Mediterranean style, with pepper rings. It was very fresh and we ate every bite. My mother and I ordered the chicken parmesan and my father ordered the veal parmesan. When the food was brought to our table I was amazed by the portion size, definitely up to par with what I would have gotten across the street, without the wait, and dare I say I liked Amedeo's marinara sauce more?! The bar tender also opted to make my father a key lime pie martini, even though it was not on the menu, and my father said it was very good. This restaurant has potential, you can tell they value the customers input, and are more than willing to make you whatever you ask for within reason. It was pretty dead for a Saturday night so I urge more people to give Amedeo a try and yelp your experience! Oh, and they also do karaoke on Wednesday nights! read more

This is a very small establishment that seems to attract the locals. I really don't this this is a good place to bring your kids to. Definitely an adult dining and watering hole. Feels like a dinner dance bar. I enjoyed the music but it'll be much too explicit and loud for the kids and older folks. Drinks are good and served in large glasses Only 2 servers on for the bar service and the floor. Servers were attentive but the kitchen was not able to keep up the pace. It was a long long wait for the first appetizer to show. And it took so long after we finished our appetizer that our server was able to have his smoke break out in front of the restaurant in our plain sight. Kind of odd in out opinion. Anyway our entrees finally arrive. The penne bolognese was nice and hot with plenty of sauce but still a little too acidic and a little more cream would have made it better. The veal parmigiana in pink sauce was a hit. Probably 1 if the best veal parm for me to date. There is 2 good size pieces to the order with a side of penne with the same sauce. The veal was cooked perfectly, not dry and chewy. It was nice and tender. The wife had the chicken picatta and the chicken was pounded out evenly and cooked perfect. Next time I'll have to dine earlier so I'm not so wiped out from the long wait for my dinner. But still I think the food is better than what you'll get on the hill. You just have to have patient for the great end results read more

We we're planning on a place across the street, but as usual the wait was an hour. Then I remembered Amedeo right across the street. We sat at a great table outside, no wait. We started with stuffies and calamari Alla mama both were absolutely delicious. The steak with Gorgonzola cream sauce, cooked to perfection and green beans, just incredible. the fish and chips were fantastic, not too much batter, nice and light and full of flavor. Chicken patties also great. Definitely a must try, if you're in the neighborhood thinking you want to wait across the street take a chance and try this Hidden Gem, you won't be disappointed! read more

I want to start out by saying this place is fantastic, from the food to the service. You can't beat the quality and the prices of the food. My only complaint is the tables are not big enough for the dishes! Lol the serving sizes are ridiculous. Amedeo and his staff makes you feel like family when you walk in. I highly recommend this place, I promise you will not be disappointed!!!! read more

My favorite place to go. the chicken parm is delicious. The staff treats you as family. Highly recommend dining here

love it here! definitely puts marcettis to shame, especially with the bad experiences i've had with food there lately. Such a cute little restaurant with incredible home cooked italian food! generous, and i mean generous portions! the pasta e fagioli is a must! the shrimp cocktails are ginormous! and if you are a mushroom lover, you'll truly enjoy their mama Teresa chicken special! loaded with sauteed mushrooms and spinach! love going there on Wednesdays to see, Tribeca! Their pizzas are also delish! so crispy, just how i like it! servers are also fantastic! If your lucky, you'll get to hear Amedeo sing, he has an incredible voice. Easily became a regular here! read more

I like this place. The food always come out PIPING hot. (seriously, every single time I eat there I leave with a burned tongue!) This is a place where food is made to order, so if you're an impatient one who doesn't like to wait for quality....go to Mcdonald's. It does take a while for the food (I went there around 630 and didn't get out until 830) but it is definitely worth it.The prices are just right for a resturant in that area (Knightsville is tryna get a little pricy now-here it's about 12-14 dollars for pasta). The chicken is always fresh and cuts easily, the pasta is always drenched in sauce (HOW IT SHOULD BE), and the gentlemen that work there are so nice! The owner himself is working with his staff, so you know it's a place that is serious about success. My one complaint about this place is the seating arrangement. It is hightop tables and chairs, and the place is very small. I have a very hard time balancing on those chairs, so it is a little uncomfortable, and you are very close to the next table. However, like I keep saying, it's worth it. I feel like quality food at a good price is really hard to get (I refuse to pay 20$ for pasta...screw that) and you definitely get it here. If you have never tried this place and you want to, I recommend you do. It is definitely a place that's worth a try. read more

I was very surprised at how good the food was. It's not a large place and I had not really noticed it before but I ended up here because of the wait at Marchettis. Decent drink menu, small-ish food menu but the portions are huge and everything was delicious. The bruschetta and Italian nachos were great. The pasta gravy was excellent also. The service was wonderful. 2 waiters instead of just one meant we never had to wait for anything. I'll definitely be back. read more

Met a friend over the summer for St.Marys feast. I had a great time. Martinis outside patio, feast, service was good.

Ate here for dinner Sunday night. Two flustered men debated on where we would be seated and decided on a high top between two anticipated large parties. Our drink order was taken and given promptly but then we continued to sit for about 15 -20 minutes before our order was even taken. Meanwhile, I watched as people on the other side of the room who arrived after us were served their bread and appetizers. Also, the two guys seemed more interested in small talk with their regulars. It's nice they care about loyal patrons but you can't ignore potential future patrons. Honestly, if my boyfriend hadn't ordered booze, we would have walked out. When we finally got some service, we were read some intriguing specials and our original choices were easily swayed. Boyfriend opted for a sausage bow tie pasta and I went for the ravioli and shrimp in pink sauce. Bread was good, bruschetta was best I've had and my ravioli got tastier with each bite. Boyfriends pasta could have used more sauce. Hefty amount of food at a reasonable price. Minus the slow service and some rude patrons encroaching our table and incessantly hitting my chair, this place was good enough to give a second chance. Will probably choose a weeknight next time and request a table away from obnoxious drunks. read more
