Those restaurants – like this Italian restaurant in Cranston, Rhode Island – that have stood the test of time do so because they consistently dish up delicious food that keeps guests coming back year after year.

Next time you're craving an authentic Italian meal, make your way to Marchetti's Restaurant in Cranston, a neighborhood favorite for more than three decades.
