The owner Roberto and his staff were the sweetest and most professional I've seen in a restaurant. They were available for whatever I needed. They were flexible in every manner. I suggest you go there just to eat. A GREAT TIME WAS HAD for my Mother's 89th birthday. It was 21 of us out-of-towners and they are still talking about it. Thank you so much Roberto... and I'll be back when in town again.

We will definitely be going here more often! My wife and I had an awesome date night dinner here. Great food, casual or romantic atmosphere, and piano bar player on Friday nights. In downtown Martinsville, this is the restaurant and lounge we would recommend! Bon appetit and enjoy. R&R

I had lunch at Rania's on a Saturday at lunch. Nice atmosphere. I had the prime rib special. It was tender and very good for the price. I would highly recommend.

Hands-down, the best veggie calzone that I have had. And what made it even better, was the marinara sauce which will tell you whether or not you’re in a true Italian restaurant or not. This is an Italian restaurant! Friendly staff, willing to find out answers and provide great service.

This is a lovely place inside. It is so very well decorated that I had to take a few pictures. Do shrimp cocktail was very good though not traditional. The stuffed mushrooms were excellent. And the prime rib was cooked just right. Our server was super friendly and very helpful.

Started with warm rolls with marinara. Ordered the crab stuffed mushrooms as an appetizer. They were delicious. My husbandhad prime rib as an entree and I had sirloin with red wine and mushroom sauce. Both were excellent. The waitress was very knowledgeable and friendly. The atmosphere was very nice. We will definitely return. It was a great experience. No complaints at all.
