    I came here for best breakfast sandwich RI. I got a breakfast wrap with eggs and cheese and potatoes. It was delicious and super big! The girl that took my order was very nice! She was friendly, helpful and kind. I regret not asking her for her name! The spot is very cute and it seems like it is very loved by the local community! I would def come back again!

    This place continues to be outstanding and very filling. Today I tried the Mommas Sandwich which includes shaved ham, scrambled eggs and cheese inside a HUGE home made croissant. This comes with red potato home fries (which I normally do not care for) that were fabulous. Although all the prices end at Ninety nine cents, they are reasonable considering how much you receive. I had to reserve half for later. A great place, environment and staff.

    I had to come amend my review. The first time we went it wasn't busy and we had a great experience. The second and third time we went - not so great. The 4th and last time we went was so bad I'll never go again. Super terrible and slow service. And my daughter is gluten and dairy intolerant and they kept bringing her bread with butter even though I kept specifying not to. And the 2nd time I sent it back another waitress came out and lectured us it wasn't butter but grilled so looked like butter (but if grilled on buttered grill then still butter!!! ). She got super pissy and rude with us and said 'next time be certain!' except how was it our fault the first waitress didn't know and still the grill had butter! I've never been spoken to like this in any business in my entire life and still THEY WERE WRONG. Next: I had eggs and potatoes and sausage. Well clearly the sausage wasn't cooked right because I then had food poisoning for 16 hours, until 4am the next day, hurling my guts up. As that meal was the only one I'd had since waking up and nothing after before getting the food poisoning it was def that. We'll never ever go back.

    Bam.... check this place out . Everything is delicious .

    Hidden gem we stumbled upon . Breakdown:: Service - super nice server whose recommendations were spot on Ambiance- surprisingly spacious with kooky decor and layered history in the space Food - full throttle yummy with nice twists on classic breakfast and lunch ( ex.- Coffee Roll French toast with fresh fruit sported a grilled coffee roll the size of your head ) We'll be back ... with friends .

    I am always looking for a great diner for a fresh, delicious breakfast. I found Johnny's Chalet near the airport and it did not disappoint! It's got a great vibe with tables and a counter. It was clean, classic, local diner decor and some good tunes. The counter service was attentive. Coffee (decaf) was above average. I made my own version of a Greek Omelette, a side of think bacon and a single pancake. Everything was great and the price was right. If I'm ever in the hood, I will be back and already recommending to family down there.

What they offer is a big variety of deli sandwiches and menu items that are all fresh and delicious. This is a great getaway from the "Sysco" type food" you get at the fast food and fast, casual restaurants. This is a family owned place that takes pride in making you happy. By coincidence both of us selected the "godfather" sandwich. They give you a choice of either soft roll or hard roll. We both went with a hard roll. On this sandwich you get. grilled chicken, prosciutto, melted, sharp, provolone cheese, red peppers, and balsamic vinaigrette. Just writing this review makes me wanna go right now and get another one. Topped off lunch with an orange soda. The owner is a third generation family member. He cares very deeply about the quality of food and it's freshness. We will definitely be back.

Let me just say... what a great choice! I was also told that their bread comes from LaSalle Bakery, which immediately had me excited because I LOVE LaSalle Bakery. And the bread definitely did not disappoint. It was fresh, delicious, and made the entire sandwich even better. This is NOT your average deli. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, and you could tell there was a lot of care put into the sandwich. I normally have a pretty good stopping point and would probably only eat half of a sandwich like this, but it was so good that I literally couldn't stop myself. I ate the entire thing! I am officially stuffed now, lol, but it was 100% worth it. The Atomic was absolutely delicious, the bread was amazing, and the whole experience exceeded my expectations for my first visit. I will definitely be back to try more of the menu. Five stars all the way!

I do wish they had more selections to choose from though. In terms of more options of Russian/Armenian food like deli meat, dairy products, smoked fish, fruits/veggies, candy, cookies, juice... The prices here are steep, it's a big reason as to why I don't shop here often. It's a shame because I would love to support an Armenian business.

    This place is great ... you can tell not too much has changed since the 1970's and unintentional…read moreretro/vintage is my thing. This place could be so perfect with only a couple small changes! - There are white flourescent style lights on the ceiling. This really kills the vibe. It's almost like the top of the restaurant and the bottom don't match. You have cozy, 70's style wood paneling with dark wooden booths and stained glass lights hanging over the tables. Warm, cozy and intimate. Then, bright white lights above. I'd love to eat here with those bright lights turned off sometime. - Probably not economical but red checkered tablecloths, like vintage Italian restaurants used to have would make this place look like a movie set in a good way. That being said, everything else about this place is cool ... you know a good spot by how many regulars are there and everyone seemed to know everyone else by name on a Tuesday night. It wasn't crowded ... but it wasn't empty on an off-night. - The staff is exceptionally good. The waitress and hostess couldn't have been any sweeter and more helpful. Fast refills on the soft drinks and helpful without being intrusive. - The pizza is good. I have to admit, I am not sold on the cheddar cheese vs. mozzarella. I thought it would give the cheese an interesting, sharper taste but it seemed a bit bland. I will do the Italian-style next time with mozzarella. I liked my pizza but there was just something different about it. The crust is Greek-style ... kind of like the old Pizza Hut, when it was actually made fresh. Back in the 1980's and 90's there was nothing better than a golden, buttery light and crisp pizza crust from Pizza Hut, before the brand went to shit. This reminds me of that goodness of 1980's pizza crust. I'm not a thin crust guy ... but if you are, they have a thinner crust on the menu as well. Topping was good, maybe a bit spicier pepperoni would be a bit better ... toppings are a tad expensive for a few slices of pepperoni. A 3-topping pizza adds around $5. The small is good for two-people with light/moderate appetites. I wouldn't be able to eat a small and a salad by myself. Speaking of the salad ... one of the best regular house salads I've ever had. The dressing is amazing ... tangy, salty, perfectly done. I know it's hard to get all worked up over a standard Italian dressing but often the simplest things in cooking are the hardest to get right ... and they get the dressing right! Also, the lettuce was super fresh and the tomatoe slices were as well. The only issue I had was there was no 'side salad' version. There was a 'small' salad for around $8 ... but that could easily feed 2 - 4 people. Overall, this place gets just about everything right. It doesn't change or modernize. It's portions are great ... the food is very good ... prices maybe a bit high compared to other spots ... but you can tell they don't cut corners and everything is freshly made. The bar is where I'd want to sit normally ... but the seats are very close together and I didn't want to be elnow to elbow with strangers, so I snagged a small booth, which was also fine. The customers seemed nice ... but they all seemed very 'Cranston'. If they could deal with the lighting situation and make it less bright, I'd eat here 2 times per week. You can't beat a classic ... and this place is a classic.

She got me in and out as quickly as she could before my dance class and I greatly appreciated that! Everyone that worked there was super friendly and attentive. I wish i was in less of a rush to have taken in even more. The spot has an old time feel but in the best way possible. It just felt like home. I can't wait to go back for more Italian goodies!

Whitney Houston a few minutes earlier. Taylor Dayne before that. Huey Lewis somewhere in the rotation too. Somebody behind that counter was a kid in the late eighties and built the playlist around the songs they grew up with while the food their grandparents brought over from Italy came out of the oven twenty feet away. Lou Umberto opened this place in 2017 after graduating from Johnson and Wales. His family is from Cerreto Sannita, a hill town in Campania. He set up shop on Cranston Street, just outside Knightsville, on the edge of one of the oldest Italian neighborhoods in the city. Lauren and I went on a Monday afternoon. Gray skies. One of those quiet Rhode Island days where lunch slowly becomes dinner without anybody announcing the transition. Before we got inside, one of the guys working there was helping an elderly woman through the side door and walking her back toward her car with her groceries. That told me most of what I needed to know. Walk in and the room is doing four jobs at once without any of them getting in the others' way. Shelves stacked with imported groceries. Rummo pasta. Loacker wafers. Baci chocolates. Bottles of olive oil lined up beside jars of tomatoes and peppers. Along the opposite wall sits a long deli case full of prepared food. Eggplant parm. Broccoli rabe. Pasta in vodka sauce. Stuffed banana peppers. Pasta salad. Roasted vegetables. Then the bakery case. Tomato pie cut in squares with red sauce all the way to the edge and enough seasoning on top to perfume the whole counter. Potato pizza. Calzones. Spinach pies stacked on black trays. The kind of food that makes people walk in for one thing and leave with six. Near the front, bags of pizzelle tied shut with twist ties sat on a wire rack underneath a hanging sign that read Welcome Family and Friends. Normally signs like that feel decorative. This one didn't. And behind all of it, through the opening in the back, sat the brick oven. That being said. The pizza. The pepperoni pie came out raised on a metal stand by the window, the Italian flag moving outside in the gray afternoon behind it. Good looking pizza immediately. No stunt toppings. No overloaded nonsense. Just confidence. The pepperoni was placed, not dumped. Natural casing cups charred dark at the edges. Maybe fifteen slices total across the whole pie. Somebody understood restraint. The crust landed somewhere just outside classic New York style. Slightly thicker, but only enough to give the inside some chew. The outer rim puffed up high in spots and blistered dark from the oven. Flour still clung to the bottom and the back edge from the peel. The sauce tasted bright and barely cooked. In some bites it pushed forward sharp and fresh. In others it melted completely into the cheese. Sometimes all you tasted was crust, and that worked too. The cheese browned into amber patches across the surface that pure mozzarella usually doesn't create by itself. Probably some provolone mixed in there. I didn't ask. I should have asked. And the slice held beautifully. Crisp underneath. Enough structure to fold slightly at the front without collapsing. You could see the care in it immediately. Nothing rushed. Nothing overloaded. Nothing trying too hard. Just a very good neighborhood pizza made by people who seem to understand exactly what kind of place they want this to be. The kind of place where somebody helps an elderly woman through the side door before getting back to work. The kind of place that makes you think living nearby might not be the worst idea in the world. Don't forget to grab a bag of pizzelle on the way out.

    Saturday is not the usual day I break my parents out of where they live…read more That is a Sunday tradition. We go to lunch, get groceries, take care of whatever needs taking care of, and spend a few hours together away from their usual routine. This week, I changed the schedule for Catanzaro's Pizzeria. I wanted to see Anthony and thank him in person for the generous donation Catanzaro's made to The Pizza Principal Kickstarter. That donation helped get us over the top earlier this week. I also wanted my parents to experience the food at a place so many people in this community consider THE BEST. We ordered a caprese salad, meatballs, and a cheese, pepperoni, and olive pizza. The family order. My mother is pretty renowned for her meatballs, so restaurant meatballs have a difficult assignment when they arrive at our table. My family has opinions. Strong ones. My mother took a bite and immediately started comparing them to her own. "These are exactly the same as mine." "I'm so excited." "This is amazing." "I can't believe it." Then my father tried one. He looked at my mother. He looked at me. "The best meatballs I've ever had." That is not a sentence my father hands out casually. The pizza had to follow that, and it did. My parents, like me, have spent six decades believing that another very established, iconic Rhode Island pizzeria unquestionably makes the best pizza in the state. But then Catanzaro's made their case. By the end of lunch, my parents were willing to admit that Catanzaro's can go toe to toe with anybody, anywhere. They loved the food. They loved the service. They loved Anthony. And I loved watching them discover something new together. That is the part I will remember. Not just that the food was outstanding, although it was. Not just that Catanzaro's helped get The Pizza Principal over the finish line, although they did. I got to sit across from my parents while a restaurant they had never tried changed their minds about something they thought they had already settled decades ago. That is a heck of a Saturday. Thank you, Anthony. Thank you to everyone at Catanzaro's. You fed my parents, helped make a film happen, and gave our family a new chapter in an old argument. I could not be more grateful.
