Server was very friendly, however bread came out actually cold. Not even room temperate- like cold to the touch cold. We got the antipasto salad to split, it was less than impressive. read more

We went there - wife and I. Nice atmosphere, not fancy but really great food -- pizza, breadsticks pastas, all the basics, but done like you are in Italy! Just food done very well. read more

We live quite close to this restaurant and we've tried several of the items on the menu, but the only thing I personally order is the pizza. I always order the same pizza, the same way and every time, they pull the same crap. Here is how it goes, EVERY TIME: I order a large, well done, cheese and onion pizza with EXTRA ONIONS. Now, I am fully aware of the additional $1.75 I'm paying to add extra onions. I don't mind paying for the extra topping, but I expect to RECIEVE the extra topping. I'm paying over $3.50 just for onions alone! Yet, they are sprinkled on the pizza as though someone requested "easy on the onions." Come on guys, I could buy 3lbs of Vidalia onions for the money I'm giving you for onions on my pizza! Yet...it's a struggle. There have been other incidents, but the point is, it shouldn't be a crap shoot. Consistency is the key. (one of them) It's not that difficult to keep a customer happy. *Friendly, courteous, service. *Receiving a quality product. *Getting what you paid for. That's it. But it has to be all of those things or the bottom falls out. In my experience, the people at Campanella's (at the front take-out counter) have been very kind, courteous and understanding. As well as the girls that have answered the phone. (Although I will say, I get this feeling that there's a fog of fear in that place. It's weird. It seems as though the staff are under the thumb of a dictatorship. They don't seem to have any autonomy. It seems they operate with hands tied and every decision comes from above. Like they want to help you but they can't.) Anyway, the restaurant seems to be neat, organized and clean. The staff is professional and kind. However, if things go wrong, don't expect much to be done about it. The quality is there but by not getting what I paid for, we rarely visit. read more

So disappointed with Campanellas lately. Their take out is very inconsistent and pizzas have become terrible. This used to be my go too but after tonight I'm done. There are way to many other options to consider without having to be sorry you went there when you get home. My pizza yet again has no cheese and is hard as a rock. If your not proud of the way something looks, don't serve it. read more

Campanella's - Pizza Near Me - Cranston, Rhode Island

I was introduced to this restaurant over 5 years ago from old corkwers. This was our goto place for lunch when we wanted to catch up. The stuffed greek salad - TO DIE FOR! And the server Kim ...so amazing! It's been two years since I last stepped foot in here but man was it great! Everything was good just like before. Highly recommend ! read more

Best Italian food in Rhode Island. Everything is homemade. Great house dressing. Fresh salad. Great bread. Garlic bread with cheese is phenomenal. Penne with vodka sauce and chicken is great. Service is excellent. I cannot tell you how much I love this restaurant. Truly a gem. So many restaurants are really lacking in quality and service. Not this place- it is amazing. read more

Newer to Cranston, tried a few times and sadly it is never consistent. Pizza is 'ok' but the final straw was when we ordered a take out veggie calzone and found a VERY long piece of jet black hair when cutting down the middle....never again!! read more

We are longtime customers of Campanella's, following the owners from their previous restaurant because of the high quality of their food and service. The quality of both have slipped a lot in the last year. Tonight we did a takeout of several pizzas for a houseful of guests and were sent home with subpar pizzas. The green peppers on one were charred black, the on all tasted bitter and the cheese toppings were tasteless and a spinach pie was over cooked and soggy. To make matters worse they forgot to pack the spinach pie and we had go back to get it. Disappointed and after some 25 years as regular customers we are not going back. read more

An Italian gem with great service and even better food. I try to get here at least once every couple months to get the number 14 calzone. Always fresh and the environment is local and relaxing. The service is on par, most of the waitresses seem to be well versed with the whole operation and it flows well. Food comes out quick and they run a tight ship here - pretty rare to see since in NYC I can hardly understand my servers/waitresses. read more

See all

This place has been open for so long! Since day 1 it's been super consistent and delicious. The bar atmosphere also keeps me coming in because it's a hometown place with good vibes. The eggplant parm is always a hit- also the honey butter.. to die for! I went with my friends last Wednesday because it was a 50th birthday party. Always a good time with my girl at Campanellas! read more

Great food....the exact menu as Big Cheese on Reservoir Ave, which has been around much longer. The only difference is the hospitality.... Campanellas is not the friendliest place. For take out you can't use debit cards unless its over a certain limit. Bartenders have no clue about beer or cocktails. And ownership has no problem if you never return. So do not cause any problems and go to Big Cheese. read more

After hearing that campanellas is the daughter of the big cheese I had to try and see if it measured up... Whenever I go to big cheese I get the same old thing- the salad with tuna. I tried it here at campanellas and hey, it was just as good! Their dressing is my absolute favorite, and I took some home with me too. My son loved his pasta and my boyfriend got a grinder and he said it was good too! I must say the other great part about our visit here was our waitress, Candace. She was super sweet, friendly with my son... And went the extra mile with everything... By far the best service ever. We'll be back! read more

Really great restaurant! Delicious gluten free pizza with vegetables! Newly changed their dough and it is one of the best I have had. The calzones are always very good, as well as the regular pizzas. The pasta dishes were tasty and a hit at the table. The waitresses were so friendly and kind, especially for a table full of babies/toddlers. They were so welcoming and attentive throughout the evening. Overall, a great and refreshing experience at a staple Italian restaurant in Cranston. read more

I ordered the hot turkey sandwich and the pasta and chicken parmigiana. Both were excellent! The turkey was baked on site as advertised. Juicy and tender and lots of it, the sandwich can with cheese and lettuce and was served hot. Turkey is hard to find in RI and this was the best yet. The chicken parmigiana was also excellent except that the tomato sauce was very heavy. almost a BBQ sauce. I would have prefered a more milder sauce, but that is personal preference. The chick was tender and again here was plenty. Tey offer several pasta choices, but no whole grain pasta. The parmigiana came with a salad which was very large, contained several types of greens, carrots and very aromatic onions. Bread was also included and again it was excellent. The menu says that the bread is baked on site andI believe it. Prices were good especially considering the portion size. I ordered take out which was ready when I arrived. All in all a very good local restaurant. read more

We always get the wheat calzones or wheat pizza, salads and sides of meatballs or sausage. The food is excellent.

I work in Cranston in a gourmet restaurant and had asked my co-workers where there was good pizza in the area. They each told me of different places near the restaurant, but no one mentioned Campanella's. I tried all the places that they mentioned over the next couple of weeks, but was not impressed with any of their suggestions. Finally, one night I was heading home, driving down Oaklawn Avenue and spotted this restaurant. I decided to give it a shot, and I'm glad I did. Campanella's is a quaint little eatery with standard Italian fare, friendly service and quality for the price. I really like their thin crust pizza, it has a very flavorful sauce and the crust is crisp and tasty. But it's the calzones that you come here for. They offer many different choices and after trying one the other night, I can see why they won Best Calzone in Rhode Island a few years ago. read more

I love this place! Loads of options for pizza! I get something called Fresh Pizza which is a veggie pizza with a big salad on top. Everything here is great! I wish they were open on Sunday! read more

Amazingly delicious pizza. Homemade salad dressing was great. Shared a pitcher of sangria. Tasty!

My fiancé and I happened upon this little gem out of sheer laziness one night, I was 9 months pregnant and didn't feel like venturing too far from home. Let me tell you, I was hooked!!! We have since gone back 4-5 times and every time the food is amazing, the waitresses are amazing. My only complaint would be the hostess area. They don't seem to have a very organized way of keeping track of who comes in before who and we've found ourselves having to interrupt when customers who came in after us were about to be seated before us. read more

Campanella's is packed most nights and for good reason. The food is delicious and well priced. It's a nice family restaurant. I like it here and don't mind the sometimes bossy waitstaff but I could see someone not from "Western Cranston" taking this regional attitude the wrong way. Believe me, they're not rude, they're just Italian American. I always build my own calzone, but the pasta dishes are all really good too. My advice is to order the bread sticks. Hands down the best I've ever had. read more

Family friendly fun pizzaria with clean booths and great atmosphere. The calzone's are a meal! The takeout salads are fresh and huge with a great italian dressing they make there. It is like homestyle italian cooking with familiar ingredients you can trust. It was a great place to go to eat after doing Route 2 errands. read more

Incredible pizzas, by far best calzones in RI. Service is very quick and friendly. This place is my second kitchen.

I stopped in for dinner with my family on Saturday night with a few guests and wanted to share my experience on Yelp. It was absolutely amazing! The restaurant had a fairly basic menu specializing in Calzones, Pizza and Pasta. I've been to countless restaurants like this, so I didn't really have any lofty expectations. At the beginning of the meal, we were served home baked bread with a unique butter that was hand-whipped with honey. Very unique and absolutely amazing. I looked around at other tables and saw other standards - chicken parm, spaghetti with meatballs, calzones, pizza, etc. The actual food, portion sizes and presentation were impressive and extremely appetizing, We ended up ordering a few pizzas along with a few pasta dishes to try. Everything was perfect...from al dente pasta to the crisp yet chewy crust on the pizzas. The "Dean's Favorite" pizza is one of the best pizzas I've ever had. This is not a "fine dining" experience, but hearty, home cooked and delicious comfort food. The restaurant interior was very clean, the decor was updated and the general ambiance was very cozy and inviting. The wait staff was attentive and friendly as well. We really enjoyed chatting with the owners, who were very warm and happy to answer our questions about the food and the restaurant in general. Overall, we couldn't be more enthusiastic about recommending this place. The only downside to our experience is that we want to be regulars here but live all the way in New Jersey! read more

I love Campanella's! I used to work right across the street and ordered from here several times. The food is delicious! I absolutely love their calzones but have also had their pizza and antipasto. All of which were really good. They have really good salad dressing and their sauce is very good. I highly recommend eating here!! read more

We decided very last minute to have dinner around 5:30 on a Saturday with a party of 8+ 2 little ones...of course that would be overwhelming! They took it in stride and seated us in two booths that were relatively close to each other. My greek salad with chicken was HUGE (they offer a large and a small and I only ate about 1/2 the large) and the homemade dressing was delicious. Our waitress was lacking.... as she didn't check on drink refills and I literally had to ask for bread THREE times. I just wanted some bread. Also, I tried the breadsticks at our friends table and I'm literally still thinking about them. Highly recommend. We would go back... read more

How can one not love Campanella's? My partner and I have been visiting this restaurant for many years, and though we no longer live in RI, we make a point to stop in when visiting the state. I always "make my own calzone" and my partner always gets fish. It always comes out fantastic. And don't forget the fresh bread with the sweet butter, a nice glass of wine and the Italian Wedding soup. I'm salivating just thinking about it. As Arnold says: "I'll be baaaccckk" read more

The take out is fast and efficient. The pizza is good but they are just too small for the price.

Campanellas is a great place to take your family too. The workers are very kind and the food is amazing and delicious!!!

Really good eggplant parmigiana calzone on multigrain! Very fresh and delicious!! Nice place, very nice!!!!

Good neighborhood place when you're too lazy to cook. Prices are reasonable for the amount of food you get. Food was good, not anything I'd drive across the state for, but definitely hit the spot and nothing bad to say! Definitely will be back read more

This restaurant is one of my favorites in the surrounding area. I'm Italian and know good food and Campanella's consistently offers very good family friendly Italian food and pizza. Service is friendly and efficient. It's loved by the locals and usually always busy on weekends. Best- tasting multi-grain dough option for their calzones and pizzas. My kids love the bow-tie special made with chicken, pasta and olives. I love their salads, calzones and pizza. read more

Very nice local place with very good food. The service is poor, especially on busy nights. I know enough to order as soon as they come over. The pizza and pasta dishes are priced right and taste great. It's worth a try! read more

They have THE BEST calzones! The stuff greek completely rocks my world. Love love love. read more

The venue is nice and parking is convenient. My wife's greek salad was fresh and the soup appetizer and bread were good. My chicken parm was ok but the sauce tasted like something out of a can. The gelato dessert was ok too. Nothing memorable but overall a decent meal for the price. read more

We got takeout on a Wednesday night. We ordered the usual pepperoni and cheese pizza. When we got home the cheese was mostly in the center and not spread evenly to the end of the crust. The sauce is good, presentation not so much. On the meatball sandwich, always order extra sauce or it won't have enough. The food is delicious but it seems like everything is rushed and if they paid attention to detail it would be easy 5 stars. read more

I'm from out of town and met the owners Richard and Sabrina on my flight into Providence and they suggested I check out their place. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the staff is extremely friendly, my server Jen was great, and the food is phenomenal. I had the Italian Wedding soup as a starter and it's the best I have ever had. The spaghetti and meatballs were delicious and the fresh bread with their special butter was a treat and a half. I will definitely be back during my next into the area. You have to love the family owned establishments!! read more

Tried this place based on a friend's recommendation they have the best calzones. The spinach and cheese calzone I got barely had any cheese. It was a disappointment. One thing that was very apparent was the poor service. The waitress was pleasant enough but the service was slow. Our plates were not cleared off even after she came to the table 3x's. Never asked if we wanted a refill on drinks or anything else. read more

The menu doesn't offer a huge selection, but what they have is good. I met the owner at a store I used to work at, he told me to stop in and lunch was on him, he was true to his word! I had a calzone made with whole wheat dough which was delish and he also gave me a bottle of the house dressing which was also delish. I returned once more and had a pasta dish that was overflowing. As long as you are in the mood for the limited menu, then this is a place to go. I have no complaints. read more

This is my favorite resteraunt! The food is always good. You must try the pink vodka sauce it is to die for.

I've always been told to try their Antipasto salad. I've never had an antipasto salad before but I love salami and ham so I figured I would love it, as I did. It's pretty nice, $10.40 and it serves two which isn't bad at all for a decent sized salad with its ingredients. The Stuffed Greek Salad is next! read more
