“A great local restaurant 💯“

“Such a delicious little restaurant! I’m vegan, dined at Foglia with my carnivorous husband and we both loved it. The food is fresh and delicious and has multiple layers of flavor. It was such a treat. After our meal, Chef Pete came out to talk with us about our meal. Will definitely return.“

“Amazing drinks and beautiful moody vibe“

“What a great restaurant. The onion soup is world-class, as was the Steak Frites. Great drink selection. We had the Grenache red wine and were very impressed. The warm bread and olives is a must order and outstanding value. Can't say enough good things about our meal and experience at Le Central.“

“Great food & drinks“

“Pizza cold and undercooked. Meals arrived different times.“

“Always a great experience at The Lobster Pot!“

“Went to the Foxes Hill neighborhood in Providence to try out a Morroccan spot, but it ended up being closed. Luckily, right around the corner was Aguardente, which is a Guatamalen & Portuguese tapas restaurant. Love the interior decorations and warm welcoming vibe. We started with quejo de cabra, rellenitos, & the minha caiparinha. Then we had the batatas fritas, empanadas de pollos, polvo grelhado, & almondegas. Everything from the service to all of the dishes being seasoned perfectly and tasted amazing.“

“Cheryl and I dined with friends last night at Casa Azul Taqueria at 840 Allens Avenue in Providence. Although the place is small, with just three tables and primarily offering takeout, the food is fantastic, featuring great vegan options. We're definitely going back!“

“Great service, ambiance, and sushi.“

“Truly an incredible place with even more lovely people. Places like this are what keep our city wholesome. And of course they have tasty yums and bevs“

“Celebrated a birthday last evening at Viola Cucina with a party of 12. EXCEPTIONAL! Small venue but comfortably accommodated us all. Fabulous food, drinks, and service. We all left very happy! Bravo!“

“All I can say is wow! What an amazing dinner we had tonight! We have been craving really good authentic Mexican food since moving from Arizona and we found it! The menu wasn’t too daunting and have a variety to choose from. The Enchiladas de Mole was very tasty. A little spicy but also had a sweet taste. The portions were generous and the prices were extremely reasonable. 4 dinners with 6 alcoholic drinks, one appetizer and one dessert under $170. Our waitress and I am sorry I can’t remember her name was very friendly and helpful even letting my husband know that they can call 911 if his meal was too spicy. It wasn’t for him but he lives for spicy. The atmosphere is very casual and cozy. I can’t wait to go back and try some more menu items.“

“Believe it or not, I'd never tried Indian food until recently. I'm usually not one for spicy stuff, but this place was so close to home, and I was feeling adventurous, so I figured, why not? And let me tell you, I was genuinely blown away by what I ordered! My girlfriend, who knows her Indian food, totally nailed the recommendation. It was this amazing chicken dish with a creamy, orange sauce, and some perfectly buttered naan on the side. I can't remember the exact name, but I sure won't forget that taste! I'm definitely going back to try more of their menu.“

“We never made it to the old location but we have been going for date nights now for about a year. The food is phenomenal, the atmosphere is perfect! The music is always on pointe! And we have our favorite waiter, Phil, every time we go! He is as much the reason we go there as the restaurant itself! Great guy!“

“I cannot express how much I enjoyed/appreciated working with the Primo Catering team for my wedding. The food was absolutely delicious, the team was friendly/attentive, and they were so incredibly accommodating. Beyond that, Shannon went above and beyond for us in every single way. They had a beautiful candle lit dinner for our tasting and had solutions for every problem we encountered when planning our wedding. I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you Primo’s team for being such a key part of our big day! 🤍“

“We just came by boat with two little kids not realizing the new fall hours. The employee working saw them peaking into the window and was so kind bringing them each out doughboy donuts. It was such a generous and thoughtful gesture that truly made these two little kids day! We look forward to coming again in the spring (during hours your open)“

“Everything we had to eat was incredible! The drinks were also phenomenal! and the service was impeccable! Looking forward to going back and trying more of their menu“

“Delicious food, great service and I highly recommend.“

“incredible small town bar and live music venue. The owner has poured out all into this place! every community could use a Galactic!“

“The Lobster Benny on the brunch menu was really delicious! The rich, creamy, and slightly acidic flavor of the hollandaise sauce combined perfectly with the savory and sweet flavors of the lobster.

The steak and eggs were also excellent. The garlic pan gravy took the dish to the next level.

Our table wasn’t ready until a little over ten minutes after our reservation time, so we hung out at the four-seat bar next to the host station for a bit.“

“great food and friendly staff“

“love the food and drinks they were AMAZING ❤️❤️💯“

“Stopped in to this little gem, food & drink excellent & Katie at the bar was wonderful!“

“Absolutely love the outdoor dining and red sangria! Always a great time when we go!“

“We had a great birthday experience aboard the train & plan on returning many times. We chose The Spruce Car, (as opposed to the murder mystery) which is aptly named, as it's filled with rich, warm woods. The cozy lighting & up-scale, but not pretentious, decor created the perfect ambiance for a romantic birthday. Dinner service was nothing short of wonderful. Our server, Maddie, was friendly, beautiful, and attentive. Both of our dinners were delicious and the cocktails were perfect. More locals should enjoy the Bellevue Grand. It's worth every penny.“

“I ate here today for the 1st time and my meal was absolutely delicious!! I ordered the baked cod with broccoli & rice. The atmosphere was quiet & clean. My waitress was fantastic. I highly recommend this restaurant. My meal was a 10 out of 10.“

“The best chile relleno! vegetarian options! excellent margaritas! this was a wonderful dinner and experience. friendly service and excellent food. like walking into a friends home and being served the best food from grandma.. <3we went upstairs after for some music and will be back for brunch. thanks for a wonderful evening.“

“My go-to order in most places would be a Reuben. The quality of the meat, bread and the balance with the sauerkraut, sauce & cheese say a lot about how the restaurant approaches their food. The 02878 is the best Reuben sandwich I have ever had the pleasure of eating. Now I will have to find another go-to for other restaurants because they will pale in comparison to Localz 02878.“

“Always great food and wonderful service.“

“We were here visiting and found this little place outside Newport and it was amazing! We had two lobsters and steamers the servers were great. It's very laid-back fun atmosphere.!! Definitely five stars!!“

“Great experience as always. The staff is so friendly and welcoming! Highly recommend“

“Good music and wonderful staff ❤️“

“I was visiting a nice Airbnb in Portsmouth and was invited to go to this restaurant I am so glad that I went small warm atmosphere great staff; great owner. My husband and I ordered two burritos called green monster let me tell you something there was enough to last two nights the portions were amazing next time I’m up that way I’m stopping there were that again thanks Crystina“

“Typical tavern style restaurant. Lots of bar and high top seating. Menu was basic American fare and tasty. Service was friendly but a little slow. Place was empty so I think that the one person they had on (working as bartender and waiter) was too busy.“
