“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“

“It was one of the most relaxed dining experiences ever. The tables are about two feet away from each other-we all had room. We didn't have to hear other people talk. Our servers didn't have to play Tetris. It was July 3rd and the place was relaxed. Everyone was smiling. We got to eat some of the best French food I have ever had (I am a picky and non adventurous eater) ever. The Coq au Vin, Mediterranean chicken and steak frites were out of this world. Vermont Butter. I cannot tell you how much that made my cold dead heart feel nostalgic and joy and somehow understood. The wine was really reasonable priced as well and I feel that the restaurant chef or owner cares more for the diners than making money because quality of ingredients was stellar too.“

“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.“

“Best meal we’ve ever had there tonight….absolutely impeccable service, food and drinks!“

“Absolutely awesome! Great food, great people and great events. Check it out, you won't be disappointed!“

“Great service, ambiance, and sushi.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Best chicken tortilla soup around. I haven't had something I didn't like. Great spot. Congratulations“

“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!“

“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“

“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! 🤍“

“galactic theater is the best music venue in New England. Dave and his team of human beings keep a fun vibe, great music and interesting line-ups almost every night of the week. I'll be performing here on Fri Feb 6 with my associate, Jake Perry. I highly recommend coming to this location regardless of which night it is. you'll always find something worth checking out!“

“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)“

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

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

“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.“

“Great food and great drinks! Can’t wait to come back here!“

“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.“

“Shelly really made my first experince here a great one! She really took good care of us and was super helpful with choosing menu items since I was new and needed suggestions. Service was fantastic. Drinks were good. Loved it she is a rockstar!“

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

“Huge thank you to Jared and the entire Pine House team for letting us take over your beautiful space for a baby shower. Our vision came together perfectly thanks to your stunning venue, amazing food, and the kindest, most attentive staff. Pine House Kitchen & Bar is already a favorite for lunch and dinner and now l'll be telling everyone it's the perfect place to host their next celebration!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Great atmosphere and service. I come in here multiple times a week and it's always a pleasure. Leah made me a coco loco and it made me loco in the best way. It was the best margarita I've had. Leah, Stacey, Nicole and Jaelyn always make it a great experience. Come check it out and you'll find yourself back here again.“

“Great food, nice bar 🙂👍“

“Good music and wonderful staff ❤️“

“Stopped by after a long road trip because it was close to our destination. Our waitress was super nice, checked on us frequently. At first glance it doesn't look like a place you would want to bring your kid, but once you're in the door and seated it feels comfortable. There is a kids menu as well. I meant to take a picture but forgot. It had a hot dog, chicken tenders, kids burger, a pasta dish.

The food was good. Wings are LARGE with a capital L. We each had a cup of soup, split an order of wings and split a sandwich and were very full. Drinks were good as well. Not overly strong, just right. Absolutely would go back.“
