Best Family Style Restaurants in Cranston

We had a lovely evening. The service was top notch. Our server was extremely knowledgeable about both the food and wine. The other service staff was friendly, polite, and attentive. It was a great experience.

Last night was the best Valentine’s Day I have ever had! The ambiance at Basta was incredible. The amount of care and attention that went into the decor was second to none! The roses hanging from the ceiling was stunning! Now, let’s talk about the meal, four course prefixed menu for two people and only 150.00!! Are you kidding? The choices were fantastic and the plates came out of the kitchen looking like masterpieces . I had the pistachio encrusted cod with beet gnocchi, fantastic! My guy had flank steak over mashed with vegetables, the meat was cooked beautifully. Our wait staff Alex took great care of us! Can’t wait to go back!

The restaurant is beautifully designed. The service is exceptional and the Food is really top notch. The price is also very reasonable. Our second time there and we will return again very soon!

Had a great meal here! Smelled delicious the moment we stepped in the door. We shared the Invernale salad (greens and beets! mmm!). We both had the Pork Roast meal and it was awesome! Tender, tasty pork and creamy polenta with Swiss Chard for the greens. Friendly waitstaff and a nice environment overall. Short walk to PPAC for a show after dinner.

Christmas Eve dinner. Festive, lively atmosphere without being too loud for easy conversation. Service was excellent, beginning with the accommodation of a late addition guest. Staff was there for every need and question yet never made us feel rushed—even though our meal went past closing. I expected great food and was not disappointed. Oysters were particularly good and French-pressed coffee always adds a great finishing touch. My teenagers had a great time and have a new appreciation for real food. Highly recommend.
