Nino’s Pizza- Cranston

This amazing Italian restaurant located in Cranston is a true gem. I eat there all the time and the prices are great for the quality of food that you will eat. They serve a wide variety of dishes from calzones, grinders, pastas, pizza and salads. I would highly recommend the baked ziti, chicken parmesan calzone, grinders and the grilled chicken Caesar salad. The staff is extremely friendly and will accommodate all your needs. This small restaurant has very comfortable seating and even outdoor seating in the spring and summer. I highly recommend this wonderful restaurant.

Red Ginger- Johnston

If you’re in the mood for a good Chinese restaurant, this one's for you. I have been there a couple of times and they never disappoint. They are inexpensive and the service is great. I would personally recommend the chicken or pork Lo Mein, the egg rolls and some of the alcoholic beverages such as the white wine. This smaller restaurant is homely and great for a last-minute outing with a family member or friend. They even have gluten free options for meals.

Mi Ranchito- Providence

Located in the heart of Providence, this restaurant serves authentic Guatemalan cuisine and has amazing reviews. If you’re in the mood for awesome Latin American food and want to experience a friendly and home-like environment, this is just the place for you. They are inexpensive and have great dishes such as seafood, steak and plantains. I would recommend it if you’re looking to try a new cuisine and want to eat in a cozy and casual place.

Sunrise Cafe- Warwick

If you’re in the mood for breakfast not on the go, you want to try Sunrise Cafe in Warwick. Inexpensive and delicious food is what you’re going to find here. This diner specializes in omelets, stuffed French toast, plate sized pancakes and their own chef specials. They have a very creative menu if you are looking for unique food items. A smaller restaurant, you will feel at home and will surely get a great meal.

So what are you waiting for? Go and grab a bite to eat at any of these awesome restaurants. You won’t be disappointed.
