Reviews of Reali's Fine Italian Cuisine (Restaurant)

Jeremy B

This place is truly amazing!!! It may not look that way from the outside but it is worth every penny. The atmosphere is quaint. The service is excellent. The food is so great. Just the bread at the beginning of the meal is the best I've ever had. Trust me give it at least one try and you'll be hooked.

Kayleigh Cornell

This place is the absolute BEST! If you want GREAT food, an AMAZING staff, and a BUNCH of family fun memories, I recommend, Reali's. This is one of the BEST restaurants I've been too. (I recommend getting the Chicken Parm, it's so good, not to mention it's good for left-overs, the day after.)

Rachel Ellinwood

Great food and great portions EVERYTIME what more can you ask for

Gread deals for this place on groupon . Killer italian food . Always served fresh warm bread and olive oil before dinner . I like the scampi dishes .....as well as the fracaise plates

Robert Schmidt

Good food and staff.

William Dixon

Always a treat. Excellent food and service. generous portions.

Knwtmsyn

Food was ok but there’s really no selection of sides (which were very bland and unpalatable). Place is small, dark, and shabby, somewhat unattractive. They parking is insufficient and cluttered. They were also understaffed when I went.

Deborah Pisano

Beat food ever

Samuel hawkes

Great food and service.

Joe R

this place is by far the best Italian food I've ever had, everything I've ever ordered is delicious. The chicken calivita is absolutely incredible and they make the best salmon anywhere. The bread is fresh hot out of the oven with whipped honey butter. And Jimmy the owner does the cooking himself, the place is awesome

tony john

Hands down GREAT food, service and warm atmosphere makes this a regular go to place with my beautiful partner. Were there literally every week and never , EVER disappointed. Thank you Reali's for your existence!!!!!!

Jen Ellis

Great food with a quaint atmosphere

Joseph Lagalla

Great staff and food

Patrick Lydon

Their alfredo sauce (or gravy- depending on your cultural norms) is off the charts good. Pasta is al dente and service is fast, friendly, and on point. Fiance has sworn by this place after a her girl friend introduced her- glad I finally made it and the restaurant lived up to its expectation. Cozy, relaxed atmosphere with semi limited seating so be sure to make a reservation. If you're looking for a relaxed no frills italian restaurant with a healthy selection of wonderful dishes- look no further than Reali's. Just make sure you make a reservation.

Julie Mattson

Small and quaint. Excellent food and service. Make a reservation before you go. Place fills up fast.

Kenneth Gottschalk

Great food, will definitely go back.

Daniel Kaplan

Excellent. Everything was excellent. I had their special salmon which was special. My wife thoroughly enjoyed her eggplant parmesan and the side dishes of pasta in pink sauce were superb. Can not recommend Reali's enough. You will NOT be disappointed.

Karen Bernard

Waitress was right there for all your needs. Food was delicious.

Suzanne Coppinger

It's a small place, parking is very small. The service was good but when finished it was long to pay the bill, it seemed like they wanted to look busier than what they were. I thought the pasta was over cooked, way to soft for my liking.

Traci Taylor

This is the best kept secret in Rhode Island. We seem to get the same seat every time we go which we love and will start a new tradition. We have the same waitress and she is great. I don't remember her name but she always is cheerful and on point with the specials. The food is always done perfectly. Though it is pricey it is definitely worth it. We had coupons also so it helped. I will continue to go here again. Never a bad experience. Well they ran out of the desert I wanted once but the other option was just as good.

David DiMuccio

Great food. For old school (my 74 year old Dad )Rhode Islanders who still use "Twin Oaks " as their standard for italian food in RI this place will blow them away .

Tammy Harrigan

Excellent food with extremely quick service. I've never experienced such quick service at a restaurant like this. We didn't have a reservation but were lucky to get last table (there are only 14 of them). Highly recommend making a reservation as there was a long wait. Ordered fried calamari, chicken fra diavolo and baked scrod with penne alfredo-yum!

kimber4372

Reali's is consistently superb. No frills, very small, but they knock it out of the park with their food.

Britney P

Bland pasta. Big portions.. the alfredo sauce was runny. Had to add a lot of salt, pepper, & grated cheese. Not the best itallian food around. .

a ladipo

Great good friendly people clean

Richard Andruchuk

Excellent food. Great waitresses. Great prices.

Gerry Forget

My wife and I have been regulars here for a couple of years now. Eat here almost every week. So glad we were told about it. Everything we have ever ordered has been excellent. The servers are also wonderful. Love that it is small. Always make reservations regardless of the night you plan to go, especially Friday &Saturday. The warm bread and olive oil is the best. Once you go you will return..

ray gauthier

Prices are a little inflated. Food was very good, flavorful and nice portions. Service was good not great. Wait staff is young and violated my pet peeve of taking payment binder from the table while we were still seated. Other then that. It was a pleasant experience.

lori burlingham

Hadn't been here in awhile. The service was very good but the food was not as good as it used to be, it was very salty. They charged an extra $2 for a side salad rather than the pasta or potato/veggie options. The side salad was very small, would have been a better value to have pasta.

Don Ouellette

Outstanding food and service. ❤

This restaurant is a small little diamond in the rough. It may look a little rough around the edges, but the food is delicious and the staff is friendly. The service was quick and the food portions are large. Pricing is decent too.

John Desmarais

Good portions

Robert Barrows

Had the shrimp davialo excellent. Huge portions.

Gloria Greenfield

I love their fresh bread with oil... can't have enough of it! This time I tried the baked scrod and I was delighted by it. Their shrimp scampi is also very tasty. Make sure you call to make reservations. We went at 5pm on a Saturday and there were seats available only at the bar.

John woodman

My girlfriend and I have been here a few times, The service is great and the food is fantastic. We sat at the bar, the bartender was on top of everything.(can't remember her name, I think Jojo?) The food is great but a welcoming atmosphere is makes everything that much better. We can't wait to go back! Drinks were made perfectly and service was fast. Everyone was friendly and personable. 5☆'s

Patricia Fruehwirth

Excellent lobster ravioli! Service so great too. Go back often because the food, atmosphere and service are excellent. You'll love the restaurant.

Dan Dyer

Small Italian restaurant, 15 tables good food, slow service

Russ Shipp

Was not the greatest place order the the Steak Giuseppe ordered it medium rare came out medium to medium-well left half of it there they did offer to cook me another one but it didn't want another one that they couldn't cook the first one then what was the sense of cooking another one what I try it again probably so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt my wife had Dee stuff rollatini on the way home and I will later she got nauseated and sick don't know if it was due to the food but we'll give it another try

billdelri

Reasonable prices, sausagepepper and mushrooms over penne was really good. Very good service.

Lori henry

Awesome as always!!

Ashish Gupta

This place seems to be little overrated, no doubt food is good, more than that its fresh but even with that it felt expensive. Most probably because the place is cramped specially on a Friday, tables are small, interiors are old, service is slow, parking space is limited and location not that great. They dont have kids menu though they can do kids portion. And no pizza at all.

Jesus Berrio

I took my wife out on her birthday and this place was excellent. From the Food to the Service. Wonderful experience. Will be back soon.

Jaime Ruiz

Great food, excelent service !

Dennis Fagan

Rusty Crusader

Pleace was awful. are waitress was like space cadets and completely meet up are orders. And was never around when you need her.

Ken Doucette

Good food

David Farias

One if the best places for Italian food

kay

Went here because I had a groupon. Really wanted to like it but it was just an uncomfortable experience overall. There was only one other couple and yet it took over 30 mins to get basic things such as water, or the waitors attention in general. All wait staff seemed super overwhelmed but we couldn't quite figure out why. Tables were so close together that I felt like I was literally eating with the people next to us. At the and of the night, we had to ask for the check FOUR times. Usually I can get past service or atmosphere for the food, but it was so strange that I couldn't even tell you what either of us ordered.

Mike D

Had a great ribeye

William Ellinwood

Absolutely amazing!!! Service excellent. Food amazing. Portions always leftovers

Judy Deschenes

Tyais MacTavish

*** I am editing review from below. Last time I was here the experience was mediocre at best. I felt as if the my waitress and cook had settled into a groupon state of mind, more about volume than quality.... My waitress seemed rushed and annoyed. We waited more than 10 minutes to order a drink just to start with. She brought the wrong app (we ordered stuffed mushroom, everytime) and then insisted we had ordered what she brought which was a bowl of mushrooms. When the correct app came out it was very good, however, my chicken was so tough I couldn't eat it. I didn't send it back, maybe I should have. Maybe it was just a bad night, IDK, but I work very hard and spending that kind of money on a meal is a rarity for me and taking a chance on a potential bad meal is unlikely. Jim, ditch the groupon and get back to fine cuisine. Previous review: I can't say enough good things about the food and staff here. Quiet little owner operated dinner restaurant that has a intimate feel. The food is the BEST! Great service and very good drinks. I recommend it all the time to anyone looking for a fresh fantastic meal or romantic setting. They have a standard Italian dinner menu with apps, salads, soups, and pasta, chicken, steak, seafood dinners served with choice of offered sides. They also have dessert and coffee nightcap. Daily specials offered and the wait staff recites them perfectly! Everything is fresh and off street parking is available. Reservations recommended on weekends.

Patti Heckman

Mike Sanson

Service was very professional. The food was tasty but chicken parmigiana was sent back because it was very well done. The second piece was outstanding. We would definitely go back there.

Cheryl Conti

Jim Reali does it best. I visit Reali's often, the food cannot be beat! The Chicken Parm, eggplant parm...I could go on. The food is fresh, never frozen, prepared to order. This place goes out of it's way to please their customers and it is worth it. If you want to relax in a lovely and intimate place and enjoy a real Italian meal....this is the place. There is no better in the state. The drinks are fantastic!!!!!

Benjamin Morse

Amazing food and staff!!!

John Mollica

FALSE ADVERTISING ~ My wife bought two Groupon vouchers for my birthday so I could take my children and parents to dinner. The vouchers clearly stated "one per person." When we arrived, they refused to honor both saying that the policy is one per "table." I asked for the manager and then asked that she show me where it mentions anything other than "one per person." She obviously couldn't but refused to budge. My parents then asked for a separate table. They refused. We walked out. Bottom line, they sacrificed revenue that would have far exceeded the Groupon voucher values, as we were a large party.

Stuart Seeley

Fried mozz,app,overcooked...veal parm,not tender as it should be...veal Oscar overcooked......

John Coktoastin

Awesome food

Carolyn Petz Bibbo

Excellent Italian food. Good service. Relaxing atmosphere. Food portions decent size not huge.

elidad777

Awesome

Rod Gee

The food was actually really good. The service was poor. The place is small. The parking is really small. The food is overpriced. The Groupon makes it a good value but not enough for us to return. The hostess sat 3 parties that arrived after us (we had a reservation) and gave us attitude when we asked about it. Our waitress was nice but was so loud she can be heard on the opposite side of the restaurant complaining to the hostess about her tips and about customers. The place is so small, the hostess has to sit at the bar because there isn't any space for her to stand. We won't return. Food is good, service isn't. Also took a while for the food to arrive.

Edward Urena

cute friendly home kitchen like atmosphere, good chicken parm, and scallops. bread was warm and the oil was tasty. wish the pasta was fresh

A B

I love this place! Friendly service and delicious, Italian, platter sized portions

Tracy Amato

Wait staff was phenomenal. Herbed olive oil with chese was served. Calamari was fantastic. Love the chicken parm. Warm, cozy, intimate setting. The only downside is the random bar in the corner of the dining room...detracts from the ambiance.

John Lund

Great service and food. The restaurant atmosphere is cozy and comfortable.

JUDY CLARK

I love this place

Daniel Diosomito

Consistently great! Food, service etc.

Joseph Thomas

Food is to die for here ......... prices are a little high but you absolutely get what you pay for ...... there were 4 of us and all ordered something different and all the dinners were delicious......... it is a very small place and I recommend making a reservation it would definitely be worth you while to go.
