Ralph’s Catering & Kitchen

Ralph’s came highly recommended to us by the owner of our wedding venue, the Five Bridge Inn. After experiencing firsthand all the qualities that she raved about — flexibility, extremely affordable prices, professional communication, high quality food and attentive service — I can see why.
Reasons why I will also be recommending Ralph’s:
— They worked with us over months to set up a tasting, refine our menu, and provide sample invoices so we could make informed decisions
— The option to go with a buffet and provide our own alcohol was a huge cost savings to us
— On the day of the wedding, Ralph himself was on-​site to make the food and personally serve the prime rib to our guests
— We had a dedicated server whose sole job was to make sure we, and our bridal party, got fed
Working with Ralph’s was a pleasure — if you have the opportunity to hire them on for large-​scale catering, seize it!

There’s a hidden review here that I agree with. The people here are great, and the delivery men were wonderful, but I was very disappointed with the food. The eggplant was soggy which indicated that it was frozen, and the antipasto was cubes of meat? No one touched it. I had heard and read rave reviews, so that was why I booked them, but the food did not at all live up to the hype. I did call them and they were kind and willing to give us a discount if we booked them again, but I’m not taking that chance.

I had a party for 100 people & Ralph’s catered. Everyone asked where the food was from, it was fantastic!

My husband and I used Ralphs Catering for our wedding celebration last weekend for 100+ people. In one word they are AMAZING! everyone RAVED about the food, ralph himself was on site cooking and slicing the meats ath the carving stations throughout our dinner service. Both Ralph and Sharon were a pleasure to work with and made our special day perfect. They were extremly accomidating throughout the entire process and always answered all my questions quickly leading up to our Celebration. You can not get better service, better food, or better people to help you at such an affordable price. I highly recommend this Catering service, the helped make our day the Best. Day. Ever!
Thank you Ralph and Sharon!

Yes it is inside of a VFW post and they do lot’s of catering, but don’t let that stop you from visiting.
If you are in the mood for Grandma Quality Italian food, and aren’t going to cook yourself, go see Ralph.
Most menu items are less than $ 20, full bar, wonderful waitstaff, plenty of parking. The portion size is large enough to bring some home, the bread is crispy and soft.
Plenty of parking and all major credit cards excepted.

If you want a delicious Italian meal without breaking the budget, Ralph’s certainly delivers. Ralph’s is a catering company that runs the kitchen at the Kelley Gazzero VFW post in Johnston on Plainfield Pike.
The bread is very good hearty Italian bread that is served with every meal.
The sauce is a simple and delicious.
The weekly specials are great bargains. I love the fish and chips. The veal and peas is a great dish as well.
If you come during the day for lunch, there is usually a ton of seats available. It is usually pretty quiet during the day too.

Recently had a fundraiser here at the Kelly-​Gazerro Post with Ralph’s Kitchen providing the buffet. First time for us hosting a fundraiser — Sharon Yanku was amazing between providing suggestions for buffet choices and always being available to answer the many questions I called with. The fundraiser was a wonderful success. The food was excellent, the staff on hand that night were right on! And Sharon even stopped in on her own time to make sure everything was on point. How do you beat that???

Ralph’s catered our wedding 2 months ago and the food was absolutely delish! The place itself is a little hidden oasis in Cranston that pride’s itself on made from scratch, Italian deliciousness. Not only did we receive RAVE reviews on our food, Ralph’s is absolutely affordable and the people, especially Sharon, who help you through the process are genuine and extremely patient and helpful.

SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH don’t tell people about this little hidden gem… Oh to late… Yeah don’t dress up, don’t expect a fancy place and whatever you don’t don’t judge it from the outside, judge it after you eat their slammmmming food. Perfect place to bring someone who has never been to RI to get that quintessential RI Italian meal.

This place is the best… ahem, I mean DA BEST! Veal and peas are to die for and the drinks are cheeeeap :)
