John Aquilante

This was a nicely decorated restaurant and loved the Valentine's day decor! They have lots of cozy electric fireplaces to keep you warm! We didn't make reservations for a Friday night and got seated quickly. Our server was very professional. We got the Italian eggrolls which were delicious! They were similar to a mozzarella stick except wrapped in won ton wrappers with prosciutto. Also I ordered the Seafood Casserole which was delicious and buttery! I got a side of penne and the red sauce had a nice flavor. My husband got the pork Napoleon which was good but needed some salt. The

I'll start out by saying, I'm a bit critical of other people's cooking. I often don't do reviews, because I don't want to sound like Gordon Ramsay lol. I can honestly say Aquilante's had the best food I've had in years. Better than my own cooking. Our waiter was also amazing. The experience was impeccable.

Very cute inside, the food was delicious and the menu had a good mix of classic choices with some very unique/ creative specials. They have a great drink menu and the staff was working so hard to attend to everyone on a busy day. The prices are also very reasonable, less pricey than I would expect!

I came with my family for Thanksgiving dinner, not in the mood for turkey I had the pork napoleon! It was delicious with angel hair and their vodka sauce! Anyone who knows me can tell you vodka sauce is one of my favorite sauces on the planet! And the peanut butter cheesecake was creamy and peanut buttery! They make a good old fashioned to!

Great service and even better food. A hidden gem in a strip mall. Definitely worth the effort for a romantic dinner or to impress a business colleague.

I like my old school Italian place and this restaurant fits the bill. Good selection of pasta and they are fresh and bread. I like that the color and service.

Very disappointed. Zucchini blossom app special was not good. Sirloin special had no flavor and was chewy. It's was served on a bed of chili which honestly tasted like canned Hornell chili. For $35 I could have had a much better steak at texas roadhouse or any other place in the area.

Lobster ravioli absolutely delicious, Lynn our waitress attentive and offered great suggestions on sangrias, entrees and desert( chocolate peanut butter cheesecake). Nice atmosphere too. visiting from FL, reuniting with good friends. Glad they recommended you.

They were very nice when taking the order but I was very disappointed in the food. The Fettuccine Alfredo had no flavor. The Chicken Parmesean was good but the penne had hardly any sauce on it. Will not be going back.

I love to come here to have a nice quiet dinner with my husband or other loved ones. The food is delicious and the service is wonderful. The bar is very pretty. It isn't big inside, but it has just the right touch.

Service is excellent. Never had an issue. Food is excellent. No need to go to Federal Hill when we have this gem with plenty of parking. Highly recommended. Reservations are not required but highly recommended. Especially if there are more than two in your party.

From start to finish an awesome dinning experience. Great selection of wine that changes frequently so outstanding opportunity to try new wines. Always some awesome specials to delight my appetite. I truly enjoy the personalized service by the staff. To cap off a great meal the home made desserts are tremendous. I am a long time customer and always pleasure to return for another fantastic evening!

Got takeout last night. Ordered the chicken and cavatelli, it was really good. The gentleman who took my order over the phone was super sweet and funny. We had a big order and it came out quick and accurate.

Everything was excellent, from the service to the food. I give it 4 Neil 💎,s! So Good!

One of our favorite restaurants. Great food, everything is fresh, homemade desserts, unique specials, nice atmosphere and the staff and service is top-notch. We visit weekly and they never disappoint. Plus, they make a mean Negroni!

Great service! Excellent food! Very personable waiters! It was nice that they took they’re time to talk with us about other subjects besides food and drink! My Bf accidentally ordered the wrong meal and we didn’t realize it until they were about to bring it out to us & they had no problem with returning it for the meal he had originally wanted! Big portions, we most certainly left happy & full! Thanks Aquilantes, it was my first time there & we will most definitely be back =]

This place is fantastic. Nice local restaurant with great food and a nice selection. The staff is friendly and the restaurant follows Covid protocol.

This place was terrible in many ways. First off it was freezing inside like the heat may have been on very low. Second, the bread given to table was stale and cold. All the food was severely under seasoned and some of the veggies were bad/expired and when mentioned the waiter laughed. Very rude. I'm not sure how this place calls itself Italian. It was terrible on many levels.

This restaurant has the best chicken parmesan! The fried mozzarella is fresh and one of the best around! You've got to try it!

Had takeout due to pandemic restrictions. Marie Antoinette was my choice. 2 large meatballs were the worst ever. Chewy ground beef with grizzle. Overpriced for portion size. Hope they get their act together

I picked this place for dinner because it was rather close to my hotel. First impression, lots of decor and somewhat clutter but felt more at home and each piece had meaning. I sat at the bar, nice spread and beautiful. The bartender was absolutely pleasant and attentive. I had the calamari appetizer then the clam sauce linguine. The linguine was a huge portion, and I've never had so many clams before! Also had fresh bread with oil. The atmosphere was inviting and the bar guests all I get interacted with each other. It definitely has a local feel for an out of towner like me.

First time customers, won't be back. Alfredo and marinara tasted canned. Grilled chicken tasted reheated. Waited 25 minutes to pay but only 10 for our food. Overall mediocre and not at all worth the price.

$37.00 for three drinks!? A Jack and Coke isn't $11.00 in Times Square on New Years Eve let alone this joint. No.. I will not be back.

First time here. We were quite impressed. The bartenders we're friendly and attentive. We had the mozzarella wedges for and app which were very good (big portion). I had the chicken franchaise for dinner. It was very flavorful and recommended. Bread pudding desert was excellent?

I ordered the Butternut squash raviolis to be delivered. I've had this dish numerous time before and absolutely loved it. This time it was so disgusting I couldn't even eat it.

It is supposed to come in a brown butter sage sauce, mine cane in basically a mound of coagulated butter. I called to tell the restaurant about this and the manager basically made me feel personally attacked for even saying anything. After reading some of the other reviews it seems like that's what the manager does best.

Maybe they should stick to serving their dishes in-house instead of delivery because

One of the better Italian places I've been to in RI. Great appetizers, entree options were fantastic. I strongly recommend the calamari here. The staff were friendly and nice.

I cannot think of a single favorable thing to say about the food I was served here.

Poorly cooked and drained pasta, in a watery "cream" sauce, mixed with shellfish past its prime. This would have been a substandard offering for an Italian chain restaurant in the mid-West. Here, I'm not sure there's any excuse for it.

We'd been dying to try Aquilante's after it moved from Cowesett Avenue into the Quaker Valley shopping center.

First of all let me say that their signature appetizer, the fried Squash Blossoms, were amazing. I had heard the buzz, so we had to try. They were stuffed with a gooey cheese, and a lemon-caper-butter sauce. Just tasty!!

For the dinner entree, I had one of the nightly specials, Pork Napolean!!! OMG, it was insane! Thin layers of pounded pork, eggplant, tomatoes and mozzarella, all stacked nicely with a branch of rosemary to hold it all together.

It sat in a bed of creamy vodka
