Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Cranston

Christmas Eve tradition continues with the Feast of the Seven Fishes at Bar’Lino in Johnston. It was the perfect venue for Richard and I to bring my mother to so that she could take part in this sacred Italian tradition; and enjoy it she did!! The easy in and out of the location proved super easy for her and the decor was upscale sophistication. The food was plentiful and tastefully prepared. Their version of the seven fishes began with a dish that consisted of-baccala salad, snail salad, calamari and the most tasty smelts ever. The next dish was the perfectly al dente spaghetti and clams. The last course was broiled cod, baked stuffed shrimp and broccoli rabe. We were so full that we did not have room for desert at that moment. However, for those who have been to Pane E Vino, you know how delectable their bread pudding is; so we did get three orders to take home🤗. It was a special evening being able to share this tradition with my mother as I have for the past 67 years❤️.

Excellent way to begin the holidays. Calm, excellent food and service. Need to go back for more oysters!

Gracie’s went above and beyond to make our anniversary special. From the handwritten card on our table when we arrived, to the complimentary Champagne toast, there were no details that were not perfect. The service was exceptional by all staff members, and the 5 course menu with wine paring was incredible. We cannot wait to go back.

Interesting menu of well prepared food using lots of local produce and ingredients. Friendly helpful staff and a lively atmosphere even on a Thursday afternoon.

It was a very busy night. When we went in, we were greeted by friendly staff and just had to wait a moment to check in as they were taking names for a wait list. With so many waiting, I thought we would have to too, but our table was ready to go and were seated immediately. (Very happy we used Opentable!) Our server was attentive and friendly as well. Drinks and food were delivered quickly. Took a star away because the clam cakes were a bit too salty and the fries were soggy. However, everything thing else was delicious. Overall it's a great place for good food and drinks at an affordable price. We’ll definitely go back.
