Best Family-Style Ambience
The Little Inn
When the personality of a restaurant gets personal — and it isn't just hype — the stakes go up. A bad night in the kitchen, and resulting frowns in the front of the house, means not just a black eye for the chef (literally, we're sometimes mischievously tempted to hope), but also crimson faces for the owners. So the high quality of the offerings at THE LITTLE INN, largely Italian and carefully prepared, is thereby signaled by the décor. Everywhere your eyes land is another collection or collectible of someone in the Russo family. A glass-fronted case holds a collection of decorated tea cups and saucers. Unpretentious antiques abound, from milk cans to a lovely polished copper cash register. You're not just walking into a restaurant, you are entering a family's extended home. | 103 Putnam Pike, Johnston | 401.231.0570 |thelittleinn.com
