    Chicken Parm!!!
    Michaela V.

    An area favorite! First night back in RI and I needed some Marchetti's, the service and the food did not disappoint. HUGE portions of chicken and pasta. Friendly staff. A must stop when in RI .... Make sure you have a place for the leftovers!!!

    I consider Marchetti's to be a RI staple Italian joint known for their large portions and impeccable service. I've been a bunch of times and always leave full and satisfied. Their prices really can't be beaten for what you get and their drinks are a great value as well. We recently went for a birthday dinner and had a quintessential Marchetti's experience. The food was spot on with perfectly al dente pasta and tasty proteins. We all loved our meals and had plenty to take home and feed on for the next few days. The service was extremely friendly and efficient. They had 2 servers that between them checked on us every 5 mins for 1.5 hours. We never once had to wait for assistance. Only downsides are that we made a reservation and when we arrived they still had to put tables together which wasn't really a big deal, just defeated the purpose of a reservation. The tables they used were different shapes so it made seating a little awkward and spread us apart further than necessary which made communication difficult. We were also seated in an area that did not have climate control and it was an unusually hot day. The sun was blinding, even through the shades and it got so hot that it became a little uncomfortable. I felt badly for the waitresses as they looked really hot and the few small fans were not keeping up. If you're looking for some good ol' RI Italian that gives you enough that you can dine on it for a few days, you cannot go wrong here!!

    Be prepared for a large portion and come hungry! Came for a birthday dinner for my brother, and I wish I came hungry~ although we didn't have reservations, we were seated quickly, and given a table for 5. For drinks I got a pumpkin Martin and a table of bread. Our server was so kind and very funny. My party all spoke Spanish, and she was so patient with waiting for me to provide translation to my parents, say happy birthday in her limited Spanish. Very cute and we thought she was so kind and friendly. We all ordered entrees and it was very large. The super seafood marinara was delicious. The chicken Alfredo also had the tomato marinara and just as delicious. I ordered the fried calamari, and it was crispy, but definitely order any sauces to get more flavor~ my martini was delicious and strong! Came with a cup to top my drink~ Very pleasant experience and wish I came hungrier~

    Another awesome meal at Marchetti's in Cranston! We were here early without reservations on a Friday night, and for right in. Beer, wine and some salad with bread and a delicious dipping oil started us off. I ordered gnocchi with house red sauce. The gnocchi were on the specials page with pink vodka sauce, but there was no issue switching out the sauce. Pillowy deliciousness. My husband also had a special- Chicken Milano, with chicken, red roasted peppers, olives, mushrooms, spinach over pasta. This place is always busy, tables are not empty for long, and a reservation is necessary, especially on the weekend. Just a note: the parking lot is very tight with giant piles of snow that are going no where fast. People trying to back up because you can't actually drive around the piles, and could be tight with cars trying to make it to the back of the lot with no where to go.

    The food is good here this isn't my first review for this place . Avery was my waitress very friendly and helpful the fish was very good not overcooked and dry. The broccoli and cheese was good but the squash was too sweet for me. Her service was very good. This is a family setting ambiance come casual but eat classy.

    I brought my brother here yesterday for his 60th Birthday. I did make reservations just to secure a table as this place is always full. We walked I. And were seated right away. Our waiter was Dino he got us Margaritas and water with lemon as we looked at the menu. He was attentive, showed us the specials and the brought over bread for the table upon asking. For appetizer we had calamari my brother liked it I would had preferred the option that brings peppers. We then got our salad which I thought was good perfectly tossed in dressing. For dinner my brother had one of the specials pasta with shrimp chicken and pruscetto I believe he really liked it. The portion was so much he took most of his plate home but hey it's Marchetti's they are know for big portions. I ordered the baked stuffed shrimp with a baked potatoes and squash my meal was good with the exception of the shrimp it just didn't taste right, tasted a bit odd. I had one and that was it. Our Margaritas were a really good size and they were not cheap with the alcohol yet not over loaded. For dessert my brother wanted the cheesecake and since Dino knew it was his birthday they came over sang happy birthday and even had one candle to blow out. The bill was reasonable for all that was ordered. Parking can be tough to find but we got lucky. Dino did a great job serving... the place it dimmed which gives it a relaxed ambiance

    This place is a Rhode Island classic! Great Italian food and ennnnooormous portions. Fine dining it's not, but you can reliably get a delicious meal with the family at a reasonable price. Our server, Jillian, was an absolute gem. She was attentive without being overbearing and willing to meet every request with a gracious smile. Every single plate, from appetizer to main meal came out piping hot. Kudos to the kitchen and the runners for keeping this operation running tight. We loved our fried zucchini sticks for an app. Crispy fried and fresh served up with the house marinara. The salad, served family style, is dressed perfectly with just the right amount of dressing (made right in house!). Entrees? You cannot go wrong with the veal parm. It's so big it hangs off the plate. Tender and tasty with every bite. We also love the veal saltimbocca. Mushrooms, prosciutto, cheese and veal served up in a light wine butter sauce. The atmosphere is classy, cozy and welcoming. Spotless and clean. We enjoy it so much here and recommend it without a second thought.

    Noticed people saying online that the portion sizes were huge and that was definitely the case!! I ate this penne with vodka sauce for three full meals. The carryout order came with a roll, which was nice. The pasta and sauce were both good, though I wish there was a bit more sauce overall. Definitely a great value for the price given the sheer amount of food!!

    Do they still offer their lobster roll? It's not on the menu.... Thank you

    The last time I went there they didn't have it, and that was only two weeks ago.

    Do they have a full bar or do they only have a limited drink menu?

    Hi there, They do have a full bar. 😀

    Are they doing dine in yet?

    Yes, they are. They have both outdoor and indoor dining. Call ahead and make reservations.

    We went to Harbor Lights for Easter brunch and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience…read more When we arrived, the dining room felt cold and damp because a window near our table was left open--even though it was cold and rainy outside. It set the tone for what ended up being a very uncomfortable meal. The organization of the brunch was extremely poor. All tables were seated and then released at the same time, which created complete chaos. There was no direction, no clear flow, and no communication. Two lines formed for the buffet, but there wasn't nearly enough space to accommodate everyone. At the carving station, both lines collided and people had to awkwardly cross over each other just to access different items. The food itself was also underwhelming. Several of the vegetables were undercooked, and overall the quality did not meet expectations for a holiday brunch. To add to the frustration, I asked for milk for my mom's coffee (she can't have cream), and after about 10 minutes, we were told there was no milk anywhere in the building. Overall, it was a very disappointing experience--especially for a special occasion like Easter. Unfortunately, we won't be returning.
