Portuguese Restaurants near East Providence, RI

“We had a lovely, very long lunch here today. Everything we ordered was really good. We had the soft cheese and grilled sardines for apps, then 4 main courses, 2 were specials. If they have the peas with pork, chorizo and eggs, get it. It was fabulous. The deserts were good as were the coffees. Sangria, some beers and a bottle of nice Portuguese wine rounded out our lunch for four. Our waitress was wonderful. The place is small, but really nice. Finally, the price was very reasonable. We will certainly return.“

“Service, quality of food was fabulous!!“

“This place is definitely a hidden gem. Can get busy during peak times so make sure to call as they take reservations now. If your ordering catering sized portions, the small sizes are huge. If you order the lombinhos, they will ask you if you want them fried or grilled. Most places around here won't ask, but definitely get the fried. The grilled are dry with none of that awesome brown sauce.“

“Great food & drinks.. Large portions. Home made flair! You won't be disappointed“

“Two places to explore, the restaurant and the store. We enjoyed both! At the restaurant, hot food that one can place on plates and dine in, or use the takeout containers. We loaded up on meat, feijoada, sausage and chicken. Everything gets weighted at the end. There are plenty of tables and the restaurant is accessible. Street parking was easy.The store is smaller and one can buy brasilian supplies (even clothing) and (what we were looking for) salgadinhos.We enjoyed some hot, made fresh, but took most of the food home to eat later.Everything heated up well.Delicious!!“

“I sat at the bar tonight for dinner and my bartender Ryan was amazing. I think he just recently started but by far the best bartender I’ve had at Riveira in a while. He was funny, very detail oriented, considerate and his drinks were out of this world. 10/10 recommend sitting at the bar and having Ryan as a bartender. He made my experience at Riveira memorable!“

“Been going here for years. Anything you get is always great.“

“Little restaurant, great service and food! We were treated like regulars! Went friday night, not too busy. Food didn’t take long. I had the grilled octopus, some of the best I’ve had in RI. They let me pick sides (lots of options) and i was to get some healthy things. Will definitely go back

Parking: Lot next to restaurant, at least 15 spots“

“Awesome food !!!!!!! 10 stars“

“thank you Borges Family was good food“

“Me and my favorite fellah had to deliver some Succys up to Cumberland this evening. Luckily the client also owns the restaurant we delivered to ? We enjoyed an amazing Portuguese feast and the BEST red sangria. Andrew had the octopus dish and I did the bisteco with a hard fried egg on top. Not pictured was the delicious shrimp Mozambique for the appetizer. Real talk, if you’re up north and want some good home cooked Potuguese dishes, hit up Restaurante Serra Da Estrela and see Paulinha Figueiredo Neves. Her mom and husband also hold it down with her in the kitchen and behind the bar. Her father is watching from heaven and he’s so proud she’s keeping the legacy going. Love you P, thanks for always treating us like royalty and filling our bellies with the most delicious foods from your family recipes.

Need another reason to visit? Hey Rhody magazine featured them as one of the best places for ethnic foods in the state “

“Though I would never call myself a connesour, I am at the very least, an avid consumer of bone-in wings. Before eating at Tribos, I thought I had tried every type of wing imaginable. Little did I know, the greatest chicken I would ever eat could be found in a small restaurant in the city I now call home. Tribos has perfected the wing. Through some flame grilled sorcery, they have created a wing that is crispy on the outside and tender within. Their sauces can be quite hot, but it is not just heat for heats sake: the spiciness of these wings elevates the flavors of citrus and chili to new levels.When I am having a bad day, when I have a cold, when I miss home, or when I just don't feel myself, I always turn to Tribos. I order a dozen, extra hot, wings and by the time I reach the bottom of my plate, all of my sorrows are gone. My sinuses are clear. I feel at home in my new city, my confidence renewed. On the walk home, with a full belly, I call my parents just to say I love you.You're probably thinking there's no way a chicken wing could do all that. Well, if you think it's outrageous, you surely haven't been to Tribos yet. So I urge you to go as soon as possible and to order the hottest chicken you can handle. Tell Jacqui that Clancy sent you. They'll take good care of you.“

“The Chef at Oxford Tavern pours love and care into every dish. During my many visits over the years, I have sat at tables or bars, in the new location and old, been taken care of by different servers and ordered a variety of food and drinks. I have never been disappointed.“

“Our family of 5 came by for lunch. Joe, the owner, greeted us warmly and made us feel right at home. We selected our fish and it was grilled right there for us. The salmon was SO fresh and delicious and the seafood soup blew all of us away. I am picky about my seafood and they are 6 stars out of 5! The care and pride in what they do really showed. He was so very kind and caring, a down to earth great guy. We would definitely come back again for the food and hospitality. What a gem of a place and person!!“

“Great place !! Great place to have a party !!“

“My dad and I went to Jack’s Family Restaurant this weekend. My dad and I live in Pennsylvania, but with recent family events we’ve found ourselves in Rhode Island a few times within the last month. My dad said Jack’s looked “the same as it always did,” and he smiled the entire time. We ordered the little necks casino, clam cakes, clam chowder, and seafood zuppa (and we splurged and got the lobster). Everything was great! We thank the staff and chefs for a wonderful experience. Everyone was kind. The food was delicious, and quickly delivered to us to be devoured. We had a wonderful experience & will definitely be back. ❤️☺️“

“574 was a pleasant surprise. I walked in knowing nothing about the place and found out they served food. Asked for a menu and was even more surprised to see Colombian dishes,( I'm a huge fan). I ordered the signature Colombian dish, the Bandeja Paisa... it came out looking Beautiful and tasted just as good! The playing was picture perfect and every bite was a Colombian Delight! I can tell if a Latin Restaurant has good food, by the way they prepare their beans... and the beans at 574 didn't fail me. I can't wait to be in the area again, so I can come back for more!“

“Friendly waiters, nice food 🥘“
