Best veal dish I’ve ever had. It was the special of the night (veal sorento). Meatballs were perfect, calamari was crisp and light, the squid was tender. Food 10/10.

Service was excellent, especially being the tail end of a busy night (Valentine’s Day).

If you’re looking for a higher tier option for local Italian food, this is it.

Small intimate Italian dining experience with generous portions and homemade pasta. The staff was amazing, very helpful, and attentive. The restaurant was crowded and very noisy, so it was a little hard to talk with people at the table without raising your voice.

An amazing new addition to the wonderful new food culture that has popped up in the Knightsville section of Cranston, Chef Nick has done it again!! Wonderful food pairings and a simple but concise wine list wrapped up in a tastefully furnished, casual open lounge/dining room are the ingredients for a an instant success. With plenty of room for large functions or private parties you will find something for everyone here.
The food at Iannuccilli’s II Is just as good as his flagship restaurant, conveniently located next door! While the atmosphere next door is somewhat more exclusive, Iannnuccilli’s II is somewhat more approachable. The larger size and broader menu with more familiar Italian staples has a certain appeal. As do the prices. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still going to eat in the original location, just now I won’t be disappointed if there are no seats! Far from designed to handle overdlow, the food here is a simpler version of Italian cuisine. More rustic. More country. More…..Knightsville. Unlike his flagship, there are more family style portions and dishes designed for sharing, reminiscent of my late Grandmother’s kitchen. Tuscan beans, antipasti with vinegar peppers, stuffed crab croquettes. Carchuterie to die for. Chianti or Valpolicella to wash It all down and veal to start it up again! And Pasta for days!!! Some fancy espresso martinis over cappuccino, I can’t wait to go back and try the fish. …
All in all, you can say I’m fairly impressed
with this place and now I can’t decide which one to visit next!

Buon appetito!

Our first visit to this restaurant, everything was great. Great customer service and great food. The pollo parm was the best and my husband had the lobster ravioli, we both were very satisfied. Highly recommended.

I don’t know how Chef Nick has done it but he has two restaurants completely different menus and they are by both by far the best restaurants RI has to offer. The food is mouthwatering, the deserts are scrupulous, the wine selection is outstanding and service is what you’d expect at any 5 star restaurant now the big problem is to decide which one to eat at.

This is a very long review, but, for people that read reviews and leave them, this is why. At my wife’s job, the chef recommended this place, And the reviews were good. Waitress was very nice however, came over to the table and asked us if we wanted any drinks….but we had no cocktail menus. We were the first people to walk in, as soon as they sat us at a table, we were instantly told by the hostess, this table”s reserved for 7 o’clock. Right next to us there was a long seat cushioned that spanned 10 feet or more, then the table and seats opposite. Just me, but I don’t like sitting next to people on a bench a foot apart for a romantic dinner. Again, just me but, put some booths.

The bread came, 4 small pieces in a tiny little plastic container, alost looked like what you’d get at a clam shack.

Proscuitto was good. Wife got the haddock special with shrimp and a side of penne. I got penne with vodka cream sauce, and chicken. Her dish had the thinnest smallest piece of haddock in a pool of liquid w/no flavor, so half of her haddock was mush, It was almost sitting in half a bowl of soup. Her side of penne pasta that was dry w/no flavor. My dish was Penne vodka sauce w/chicken. I asked if I could substitute the chicken for shrimp and that seemed like it was a confusing question. First, she told me that I could get the shrimp appetizer telling me it’s really good. So then I asked again, I don’t want a side of shrimp, I want to know if I can substitute the chicken for shrimp in my dish and then she said “well they can add one or two shrimp”

I then said for a third time, No, I don’t want chicken at all, I’d like to know if they can put shrimp instead of chicken on the dish, which she then said “Yes, but they charge you per shrimp.”

Right off the bat I knew this wasn’t going to be good. My dish was dry, Pasta didn’t taste like it had any vodka sauce on it at all couldn’t taste anything, & the chicken was dry as a bone. I had two pieces of boneless chicken breast laid flat on top of the pasta next to each other. How you’re serving food that’s not perfect to the very first people sitting down is beyond me. The waitress asked how everything was, she acted surprised when I said we’re not going to eat them and why, she said, “that’s the only time I’ve ever had a food Complaint.”

I thought to myself, Well, if that was the case, you’d be five stars on Google and you’re not. I literally go all over Rhode Island at the top restaurants, and I thought this was going to be one of them. I don’t know if a large percentage of the 200+ reviews here are friends or family, but I’m absolutely baffled that people talk about this place like it’s phenomenal. I can give you half a dozen restaurants off the top of my head that blow this place away. It’s not even close. Then when I was leaving, there was a group of women behind the bar and everybody said goodbye. How do you not have a manager come over to the table to address anything? Also, places that are very good, usually have the managers and owner come over and say hello, ask how everything is, is this your first time here?

I mean, we were the only ones at the restaurant when we walked in. And every time somebody came in the host said the same thing to every table, which was, “this table has a reservation for 7 PM.”

The restaurant Spain is right up the street. I should’ve just went there. Not even a comparison. Or Marchetti’s, Antonio’s Trattoria. Even Trattoria Romano and Lincoln is about 15 minutes away. I mean, I could do this all day long. Drive over to Federal Hill. I wouldn’t go back here if you bought my next meal. Sorry, it seems like all the people there were more interested in talking to each other than the first one or two customers that sat down. I’m Italian, I cook meals that were passed down in my family and I love to cook, but I’m not a chef. That being said I could’ve cooked all the meals that we had twice as good as what they served us.

Friendly staff with great service and tasty food! The bread was excellent and the chicken parmigiana was massive. The fettuccine Alfredo had great taste and was not soggy. Highly recommend! Ownership walks around to be friendly also!

This is a covid 19 takeout review. All food is eaten fresh in the vehicle. This was a wonderful experience. The woman that took my order on the phone, turns out to be the owner, was a very warm and outgoing person. She certainly added to the pleasantness and enjoyment of the experience. Both on the phone and in person. I started with the meatball appetizer, three large meatballs, sauce cooked or simmered, and they were very good. The chicken parm was equally tasty and filling. And the pasta was al dente, just the icing on the cake. Great flavor in the sauce, plenty of food. It’s a good thing I ate in my vehicle, I was too stuffed to move afterwards. On a scale from 0-10 I would rate this 9.4.
