Make reservations. Small place. Ask for Kristen to be your server. She is great! Has a nice personality. All meals are always wonderful. Our favorite restaurant in the area.

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 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.

Had the pleasure of trying this restaurant last night , and it did not disappoint. Very small and cozy with a very comfortable atmosphere. Started with calamari , the burrata board , and the Lauderdale meatballs. OUT OF THIS WORLD!. Then the entrees came out and each was better then the next . Everything here was phenomenal. I won't be surprised if this takes over the popularity contest in this area of Italian restaurants. The parking lot and seating plan are small so make reservations. Overall best Italian food in Cranston.

My wife and i had dinner there with two of our friends. From the hostess to our server Kim were very friendly and welcoming! We were never rushed to order and never rushed to leave. My friend and i ordered the pappardelle alla bolognese Chef Nick did an amazing job it was absolutely delicious!! The potions were very generous! My wife and her friend had the gnocchi capuano again the portions were very generous and they both said it was delicious! We will definitely be back i highly recommend giving them a try!! Definitely make reservations as the restaurant is small but comfortable!

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!

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!
