“We recently went to Pianta in Providence Rhode Island, one of our favorite plant-based restaurants and a very special gathering place for Missy and I. A huge shout-out to Chef Michelle, you made our night genuinely fulfilling with your exquisite yet simple plant-based goodness. Thank you for the good work you do in our world and for proving that you can eat joyfully and plant-based simultaneously!! You are soooo worth the 90 minute drive to visit with you. We appreciate you! Kate Forest and Missy Doe”

“This was my first time visiting and I was really impressed. My bowl was delicious. The employees were helpful in selecting the items for the bowl and answering any questions I had. They offer bowls, wraps, salads, and tacos. They also have samosas, chips with hummus, and a variety of gourmet drinks. There is some seating inside and 15 minute parking is offered.”
“3rd time here and I'll definitely be coming back. From my previous visits, the falafel wrap and cauliflower wrap were both delicious. This time I tried the Sambousek and the Chicken Bacon Ranch pizza and both were great. Pizza was cooked perfectly with a nice crispy bottom and crust. The owner is always friendly and the place looks new and fresh. Looking forward to exploring more of the menu.”
“went in for the first time and definitely will be going a lot more the chicken tenders are huge and their salads are so good and quality and flavors ect is definitely worth the money first place I’ve been to that matches quality and amounts and prices exactly definitely will be trying again”
“We had a wonderful dinner and evening. The food was incredible. We loved the oysters with urchin and caviar. The beef tartare was spectacular and the duck was sublime. Lovely.”

“We had the potatoe gnocchi, which was delicious! The sea scallops were out of this world! I wish their menu had more seafood options.Unfortunately, the sticky toffee dessert was very dry and not tasty.”
“This little place is a gem. In business roughly 78 years four generations of the same family. I had two wieners all the way and a chocolate coffee milk drink. The fellow working behind the counter very upbeat and personable great guy to meet when you first walk in the door. I highly recommend this place for atmosphere for food and price. I travel a lot and eat at many different restaurants around the country This is one I'll come back to again when I'm back in Providence.”

“My husband and I were fortunate enough to have Troop host our wedding in November and it was the best time! Every one of our guests commented that it was the best wedding they have ever been to. Adam and Nikki helped me from the beginning to capture my vision of my perfect wedding day. The staff was on point and the food...A-MAZING! No stuffy country club blah food here! And we had bartenders that rocked!! Never waited for a drink. As the bride...I have to give Nikki a special shout out, she was right there to make sure my husband and I ate and were taken care of. The best was when I was getting into the limo to leave and she handed me a take out bag with pieces of my wedding cake and Troop's delicious chocolate chip cookies. If you haven't had one then your missing out. My guests all left with one to take home. I highly recommend Troop to host your next party. Enjoy!”
“Amazing Peruvian food!Me and my husband make a point to come once every month from Canton MA because we cannot find any food like Ceviches by Divino offers. It’s literally like going to a very good restaurant in Lima where we can enjoy all the Japanese/Peruvian rolls. We recommend it to everyone we meet and will keep coming for more.Shout out to Aura for a great service as well!”

“Love Love Love This Place Amazing Food And Great Environment And I Can’t Forget Our Amazing Waitress Arilys She is the best knows all about the menu and super friendly and definitely makes your experiences there amazing ❤️❤️❤️You Rock Girl See you guys soon”
“I recently hosted my sister's baby shower at Maria's Cucina, and it was such an excellent experience! Chris, the owner, scheduled several phone calls with me to ensure we had everything planned to perfection prior to the day, which was especially appreciated as I was planning from out of state. Chris was always kind and professional on our calls, and had great menu recommendations - especially considering our group had unique dietary needs (vegetarian and gluten free). The day of the shower, the staff was also extremely kind, professional, warm, accommodating, and so helpful. The food was delicious (we had an antipast platter and salads to start; our entrees were gluten free carbonara, eggplant parm with pasta, and a chicken parm sandwich with french fries; dessert options were creme brulee (DELICIOUS), tiramisu, lemon cake, and cannolis) , and highly complimented by everyone in attendance. I would host an event here again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much to Chris, and all of the staff!”

“We came here for the first time for our wedding anniversary and were more than impressed with this restaurant. Food and service were spectacular and we definitely will be back again. I definitely want to say thank you for making our anniversary that much better will continue to recommend this establishment to all my friends.”
“Nice music, nice vibes, & prices are fair. My bag was $47 & I got a pound of head off shrimp, a pound of mussels, & payed an extra $2 for their extra spicy hot sauce which was BOMB! I'm a really big guy & couldn't finish it all. Was a generous portion & good price especially for good sized pieces of shrimp & quality mussels. Had my mouth on fire but I couldn't stop eating because of how flavorful it was! Service was great as well. I drove from cape cod Massachusetts with family to eat here & it was well worth the drive & price!!”
“We popped in here for an app and drink prior to another reservation, and never wanted to leave! Michael at the bar was so wonderful -- he was kind, knowledgable, and had the perfect service timing. The restaurant seemed great, but Michael is what took it over the top. Thanks for your service, Mike!!!”
“Honestly, you can't go wrong here. Sure, you pay a steeper price but that price gets you quality. Quality drinks, food, service, setting, etc. I'd rather do this once twice a year than a regular spot once a week. It's just different but in a great way.”

“I recently had the pleasure of visiting this charming cafe and restaurant located in downtown, conveniently situated across from the theater. The coffee and drinks were top-notch, and the macarons and pastries were exceptionally well-made, providing a delightful treat for the taste buds. The food menu featured simple yet delicious options, perfect for a quick bite or a leisurely meal. The interior design had a lovely aesthetic, enhancing the overall dining experience. Whether you're stopping by for a coffee, a snack, or a meal, this place offers a wonderful ambiance and tasty offerings that are sure to satisfy.”
“Tiny on the inside but packs a mighty oyster punch. No reservations but there’s a standing bar area you can start ordering drinks and oysters from while you wait. Obviously come for the oysters, but stay for the Bulgarian lamb burger!! Also the kimchi brine oyster shooters. Man those things were delicious (and dangerous!!) Also also pickled fried onions. Get those you won’t regret it.”

Takeout Restaurants
“the kindest staff + ownership. the most delicious ice cream (and cookies...my god, the cookies!) just wonderful all around. the most welcoming spot- the moment you open the door, the smell of the treats inside just invites you in! I love tricycle!!!”
“Definitely order for takeout, the store is small and dinning in would be difficult. But the food is fantastic and the price is even better. I've been going here for years. I love this place and the customer service has always been great.”
“Cereal milk has been my jam since I was a little kid. Cereal milk ice cream….a brilliant dose of tasty deliciousness. The service is excellent! This will definitely be on my must do list when I return for campus visits. Keep up the good work! Don’t change a thing.”
“Love this place and their delicious Mediterranean dishes at a reasonable price!!! My favorites are the falafel wrap and the grape leaves appetizer! The place is very small so I would recommend getting your food to go, especially on a busy weekend!”
“As an organizer, I'm thrilled to have this food truck at our events. Their exceptional flavors and fresh ingredients consistently impress our attendees. A crowd favorite!”
“The baklava and ice cream combination is superb. And the feeling of being welcome is extraordinary. This is one of Providence’s gems.Dietary restrictions: One of our group is gluten free and allergic to nuts and the accommodation was excellent”
“How did I not know about this cafe in Rhode Island until now? Delicious cold brew for me and sweet treats for the child. Easy to find street parking. I’ll definitely be back to try their variety of drinks soon.”
“I was running errands with my wife and we came upon this cozy Mexican joint. Mexican paintings and decor all around. The food and drinks were on point. We had nachos , birria tacos, tacos al pastor y michelada y ”
“The food here is absolutely amazing. They're pizza is one of the best I have ever tasted. It is fresh and tastes splendid. The staff here is very friendly and do such an amazing job. It also has a great atmosphere if you plan on dining in.”
“These are the best pastries I've had in New England bar none. The cream puffs in particular are stellar. The cream inside isn't the super-light whipped-cream-like item I'm used to having, instead it is a thicker richer cream that is truly delightful. I bought several and gave them out to friends and they got rave reviews across the board. The same can be said for their absolutely amazing Pastel Basco which is probably my favorite from them and *also* got rave reviews across the board. Better than the desserts in the North End of Boston from everyone I asked to try a bite.Parking: There is a small paid lot just a couple of blocks away, it was something like $2 for an hour.”
“Atmosphere was awesome for suhoor night food was ok as it was mass prepared and lacked flavor and was evidently reheated from a stainless steel tub. (Birria Tacos)Suggest making items fresh to ensure the food does not get hard/stale.The tea was great and the staff was friendly and professional4/5 - hope management takes this feedback into consideration for improvement.”
“I stopped in just to get something quick on my way home and the sandwhich I got was easily one of the best I've had in Providence, I will definitely be stopping in more often. Service was friendly and quick.”
“This place is amazing! The pho, the dumplings, pad Thai, spring rolls, and even the beer is really yummy. I was interested to hear that most of their customers drive in from Connecticut; it’s too bad Westerly hasn’t discovered it, yet. We’ll be back!”
“Old school diner at its BEST! Huge portions which arrive quickly, waitresses who continually refill cups & glasses, and a comfortable vibe meet customers. The staff HAUL. They are in constant motion (in a very small space) and we heard not one cross word. Thanks for a yummy breakfast!”
“I LOVE this place! The baba ganoush is transcendent, the falafel is so light and crisp, the chicken is so tender and flavorful, and the baklava is such a treat. I would come here every day if I could!”

Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Came in during college visits with my son and we were so happy to have such an incredible meal start to finish!!! Great atmosphere with river views. Might be in my top 3 all-time meal experiences! We started with calamari, the bread and olive oil were perfect, my son had the Bolognese with just a perfect hint of fennel, and my ricotta cavatelli was superb, not too creamy and pasta was perfection… we finished our meal with the apple tart with crispy crust, and just the perfect amount of sweetness with the crèm anglaise! 1 million thanks for a perfect evening!!”
“Staff were super friendly and atmosphere was super chill!! Great place for parties or just pulling up to the bar and meeting new people. Food was made to order and delish!! Burrito was perfectly sized and the beans were so flavorful. Will have to try the quac next time cause I was hella full with tbt bean dip and carne asada burrito!!”
“Nunca avía comido este pollo y que impresionada Me gusto bastante por pura casualidad comimos mi familia hay no estaba planificado el servicio al cliente excelente le doy un 100 de buen servicio las bebidas muy ricas espero regresar pronto”
“Shout out to ladies who always make my coffee with love. These Dunkin employees are always so sweet and know how to make a good Dunkin coffee. Dunkin parking always sucks and this location is no different, line is always wrapped around. I recommend to just place the order thru the app and walk in to pick it up. Saves time and it's pretty fast.”
“I went to the drive thru to grab a coffee coollata with whipped cream before an appt and the male employee handed me a well made coolata and was very pleasant. These are the people I hand a tip to.”
“I had a Reward in my Dunkin' account and decided to redeem for a nice blueberry glazed donut. This type is higher in calories than the regular glazed donut, but I do like blueberry flavor stuff.I got on my mobile app, chose the right store, placed the order and applied my reward for a free donut...easy and painless.When I arrived at the store, my order was not out yet and there were a lot of people waiting, so I patiently waited and when the lady had a minute, I showed her my order on my phone and she grabbed my donut in a few seconds.Delicious...especially when I took it home and microwaved it for a few seconds...it was warm and fluffier....”
“The Best Service from a DD that anyone has ever received!! This is not only my "Go to" DD because it's the one that's closest to my work but it's because they remember me, my order and we have that 3 minutes of laughter everyday! GREATEST STAFF EVER!! WOOT WOOT..can I please have a medium frozen with whipped cream & a blueberry muffin...Hi GUYS!!”
“Love the morning breakfast biscuits wish more Burger Kings would cook them consistently some are very doughy and undercooked most are golden brown and very yummy a good deal bacon egg and cheese golden brown ”
“Forget all these other reviews, maybe it was a different staff at those times. The ladies at this Dunkin are the best. They're always smiling and laughing! I've been here about four times in the past few months and they always get my order right. Very speedy and efficient.”
“3 years ago I have rated this Kentucky fried Chicken 3 stars I went back couple of days ago big improvement the building has been painted the interior has been updated and the employees have improved with customer service I am very pleased to say that I'm giving this Kentucky fried Chicken five stars due to their improvement and customer service sincerely Pierre”
“Awesome experience, the manager came to our table and was very polite when asking if we were ok with the meal! Ms. Darshe’ Rose even gave crowns to my children!! Thank you”
“This is the best Dunkin’ Donuts I have ever been to. They always have the most consistent coffee, the service is ALWAYS quick, and the food was always hot and correct. I miss working in Providence so I could come here again. I’m thinking about it months later, because I just had the worst coffee from another Dunkin so now I’m sad…”
“I used to have a lower review but I do have to say, when it's rush hour they focus on both the drive thru and the dine in, I got my order within 5 minutes of ordering it”
“Great bagels and coffeeOnly reasons I gave 4 stars is sometimes ordering at the counter I waited longer than normal for plain not toasted bagelsOtherwise quality is a 5”
“nick is a life changing employee. he truly changed my outlook on the world. he’s inspired me to change my life for the better. truly a hard-working and respectful employee. thank you for all your help nick. you’ve changed my life for the better.”

“Everything was outstanding, and I can’t express to the public how fast they should run to this place. One thing I will say is that I got written up while eating. While, this was disheartening I recognize where I need to work harder to be a better team member. Thank you Spencer for the opportunity. ”
Cheap Eats
“Small, cozy friendly spot for Laotian, Thai, and Viet home cooking. The place will only comfortably sit up to ten people. Consider takeout if crowded. We ordered the beef pho, pad thai, egg rolls, sticky rice, and beef laab. I really enjoyed the laab! We also bought the rice cakes and plantain chips. Delicious ?Parking: Off season, parking is easy.Kid-friendliness: The owner is really nice and easy to talk to.”
“Food here is absolutely amazing. The combo platter with 2 or 3 sauces is one of my favorite things.Why only 4 stars? Google Maps says they open at 10. I got there around 10:15 (I wanted to pick this up for lunch), but the worker said he'd need another half hour or so to get ready since he just opened. Wouldn't your opening time be 10:45 then? I ended up going for a walk and came back a half hour later - still wasn't ready and acted like I was a nuisance. I had to leave at that point to get back to work without food.I'll definitely come back later in the day next time but maybe adjust your hours?”
“Fantastic bar on the west side of Providence, walkable from Downtown, Federal Hill, and the West End. My favorite part of their drink menu is their cocktails, but they have a great beer selection and decent wine selection as well. Prices are very affordable, and the service has always been great.Most times I’ve gone it’s been a chill spot, not too crowded with good music. This past weekend I went and it was packed. We figured we came during an event, and turns out it was Kimi’s birthday! Even got a slice of birthday cake on the house, and had a great time even though we felt a bit like party crashers. Staff couldn’t have been more friendly, though, and I’m looking forward to coming back again!”
“I went there on a Sunday afternoon right before they opened for business, and they already had a line of people waiting outside; I knew that meant that they were good. Once the doors opened, the line moved quickly. The service (which is incredibly important to me) was very professional and friendly. The place is clean and modern, and the vibe was great. I bought a cube cookie butter croissant which was fresh, delicious, and the portion was huge (enough for four people to eat from). The ice cream was amazing! The portion of the ice cream was also big, and it was delicious. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I recommend it 100%. I will be going back soon.”
“Was so tasty. Ordered a Smores cake for a birthday and it looked so good I didnt want to cut into it. So glad we did though as it was delicious. The cookies were like a religious experience. Will definitely be ordering again in the future.”
“Delicious food, tasted super fresh and flavorful. Our party of 7 was very satisfied with the dishes we tried and the service and staff was great!! We ordered both types of Samosas, the vegetable and chicken momos, the bread basket, several main dishes and a few drinks. The mango with yogurt drink was delish too. Will definitely come again and recommend to friends and family. Picture of the kabap sampler (came in sizzling and delicious)”
“Awesome Lil place, staff was nice and friendly, waffle dessert was awesome! can't go wrong If you are a waffle fan and Sweet Yummy desserts! highly recommended”
“Most gluten friendly restaurant/bar in providence.Dietary restrictions: If you have gluten intolerance or celiacs this is the bar or restaurant you have to check out while in providence. Even the brownies and meatballs are gluten free”
“I just wanted to drop a 5-star review and give a shoutout to Dallas for making us feel so welcome this evening. I called ahead to inquire about mocktails, and was told they could definitely accommodate that request. My coworker and I showed up, neither of us drink, and Dallas made us both amazing mocktails. I often feel like the bartenders in most places are annoyed when you don’t drink alcohol but I really did feel welcome and included and was very grateful. The drinks were great, and I will definitely be back, alcohol or no alcohol. You guys are great! Thanks so much.”
“I love the moody lighting and music that plays at night! Each member of the staff was extremely personable and we loved talking to Ryudo & Anthony about the stunning drinks/food they made. Watching them make a hot cocktail on a cold night was incredible!What really made this an experience instead of an outing was all of the small details that were paid attention to. Like higher quality paper towels in the bathroom, coasters matching the type and color of drink, utilities having a matching aesthetic (from lamps to teapots!) and bartenders personalizing each drink (offering us little changes they think we would like more, without us having to ask just based on how we react to the previous drinks). It was all so personal, and I loved watching every single person get that experience. I like that it’s just how they do things, and not just our one time experience onlyAnd I’m not just biased because I love the olives (they come in a little bathtub!!)”
“One of my favorite places to go for nighttime fun in Providence! The cover is super reasonable, the game selection is great, and the karaoke and dancing upstairs is a blast!”
“I visited a cozy cafe in downtown PVD today, and it was a delightful experience. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with clean and comfortable seating arrangements. The coffee was not only delicious but also reasonably priced, which was a pleasant surprise in comparison to other cafes in the area. Their ice coffee was just $3, and a small latte was only $3.5, offering excellent value for money. Additionally, their dessert selection complemented the drinks perfectly. Overall, it was a fantastic cafe with great ambiance, affordable prices, and delicious treats. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a cozy spot to enjoy a cup of coffee in downtown PVD.”
“I can't comment on the atmosphere of this burger joint because I've only ever had the food delivered via Uber Eats and Doordash.Notwithstanding the foregoing, I will say with the utmost assurance that the burgers, fries, and onion rings are top notch. I am especially impressed with their onion rings. They are doubled breaded & batter dipped and oh sooo good. So many try to do onion rings but fail. Not so with Wayback Burgers. Their O Rings harken back to the glory days of greasy spoons and the blossoming of roadside hops & burger joints in the 50s and 60s as America embraced car culture.And don't get me started on their milkshakes. Biden would have a field day with their hand dipped shakes and malts. Thick and creamy, their shakes pretty damn nearly represent Americana at its finest-a cultural Renaissance to be sure.I am waiting impatiently for them to open in a few hours. Keep up the good work guys and gals!”
“This was a childhood neighborhood staple for me. And as an adult, I love this bakery. My family always gets their loaf of bread for the holidays. I also believe they have the best RI pizza slices in the area! Not to mention their Calazones and baked good are delicious. I've been here so many times, and each time I'm reminded why I keep coming back.”
“We have been searching for a good take out pizza now for 2 years. We found our place and it is Fellini's for sure! Delish, crispy crust, great size with plenty of toppings and consistency. We love Fellini's”

“My husband and I were fortunate enough to have Troop host our wedding in November and it was the best time! Every one of our guests commented that it was the best wedding they have ever been to. Adam and Nikki helped me from the beginning to capture my vision of my perfect wedding day. The staff was on point and the food...A-MAZING! No stuffy country club blah food here! And we had bartenders that rocked!! Never waited for a drink. As the bride...I have to give Nikki a special shout out, she was right there to make sure my husband and I ate and were taken care of. The best was when I was getting into the limo to leave and she handed me a take out bag with pieces of my wedding cake and Troop's delicious chocolate chip cookies. If you haven't had one then your missing out. My guests all left with one to take home. I highly recommend Troop to host your next party. Enjoy!”

Palo
“Had an amazing dinner at Palo. Went with high expectations with great review score and they lived up to it Best chorizo and Brussel sprouts! Lamb chops with lentil type beans was fantastic”
“Great time, great food ! Thank you Eric for the best table, our server Sara was outstanding. Valet guy was cool.Being from New York, it's right there with the experience. Will be back when up north !”
“Perfect bar spot for groups & kids/ lots of TVs for games, arcade, board games & good bar foodKid-friendliness: Entertainment for the kids & kid-friendly menu”
“They have a solid menu with not too much of choices, therefore they serve really good and fresh food. Clam chowder is tasty and not too heavy.Parking: Free parking in a parking lot beside the location as well as paid parking garages in close walk distance.”

Gift Horse
“Tiny on the inside but packs a mighty oyster punch. No reservations but there’s a standing bar area you can start ordering drinks and oysters from while you wait. Obviously come for the oysters, but stay for the Bulgarian lamb burger!! Also the kimchi brine oyster shooters. Man those things were delicious (and dangerous!!) Also also pickled fried onions. Get those you won’t regret it.”
28
Pot au Feu
“The staff greets everyone in French which is a lovely touch. The coquille st Jacques was exquisite!! The escargot were cooked to perfection and very tender and not too garlicky. The French onion soup must have been amazing because my honey didn't save me any cheese! Unlimited fresh baked bread is dangerous. ? The crepes suzette reminded us of Mario's Dad who's French Canadian and now passed but he used to make them for us; and we were celebrating our anniversary which happens to be on Dad's birthday so it was a nice tribute to him. Definitely make reservations and we parked in the lot between pot au feu and capriccios for $15. Lovely evening!Parking: Paid parking lot around the corner. Plan to arrive early just in case that lot's full”
“We had a great experience at Lim's! The service was fast and friendly, the restaurant was very clean and well maintained. The sushi/sashimi was very fresh and perfectly prepared by true professionals as we sat and watched at the bar. We will definitely be back soon when the sushi craving hits! The apps were also excellent, (fresh, steamed pork dumplings, and cold, tasty seaweed salad) and the hot sake was a pleasant and smooth compliment to our meal. Glad we stopped in after hearing from a friend how good the sushi was. We were not disappointed!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

La Piñata
“The food is delicious!!!! During my first trip to Rhode Island I ate there and it was so good that I also got an order to go before I got on the plane to go back home.”
“Glad to finally have made it here. The food was fantastic. The drinks are very creative, and there were 0 complaints from my party (about anything). The atmosphere is cozy/chill and not too loud on a Sunday evening. Can’t wait to go back.”
“Fantastic all around! Recommended by a local friend who did us right. Starting with the super cute and friendly waitress, it was all good. Ramen salad...yes, please! White fish pate, ok! Best shrimp and grits I've ever had...and I lived in New Orleans for four years. 15/10 will do again if I am in Providence again. This city definitely punches above its weight class, culinarily, and this place is punching hard!”
“The food was so amazingly good. We were a party of 6 and tried almost every dish on the menu. I had the pork katsudon with curry sauce, and it was like nothing I've ever tried but so incredibly good. Drinks were also delicious. Our server was not very attentive and very forgetful, but she was clearly very busy in this packed but tiny restaurant. That won't deter us from returning here, though.Kid-friendliness: There were a few family's dining while we were there with kids of varying ages. I would consider coming back with my kids too.Wheelchair accessibility: A wheelchair would not fit into this small, narrow, and tightly packed restaurant.”
“Food and service excellent as always. Love the pasta. Only place in town that serves my wife's filet as requested EVERY TIME!!! Don't rule out the filet because it is an Italian restaurant. It's amazing...”

“We had a great Christmas gathering tonight. The food is amazing and can accomodate for gluten free which is amazing! The owner is so understanding and can't wait to go again. Totally suggest!!!”
“Our foodies group returned, and once again, we had a mixed bag of results. My dishes, the Shaved Brussels Sprouts & Goat cheese, along with the Sesame Seared Tuna Bowl were wonderful. However, the Grilled Wedge salad along with the Stuffed Pork Chop were inconsistent. The salad was delicious, with a bit too much dressing, but it was not a real lettuce 'wedge'. On top of that, the pork chop was not actually stuffed, as it just had the stuffing along its sides and was very dry. The service was really good.”
37
Mills Tavern
“A fantastic place! I loved their vegan options too. Not a tonne, but a few and are very tasty)Went with a larger group, definitely not a cheap place. But the atmosphere was great, fantastic service and good food!I would definitely be back!They do valet parking too, so you drive up and leave your car at the front for convince.Dietary restrictions: Vegan and vegetarian options are available ??”

Xaco Taco
“Good food but our server didn’t give us any napkins or silverware. Had to ask the food runner who bought out our dessert for something to eat the dessert with. Still no napkins provided. Very slow service also.”

New.Burger
“Fabulously located on the river with great outdoor seating, very bike friendly and a great spot for a date!! We tried Besina, the Mexican concept for lunch one day and the Italian concept, Double Zero, for dinner another night. Both had inventive, well executed menus though not a total knockout from either. Would come back to try more from both of these spots, as well as the other businesses in the market hall. Double Zero: We loved the deconstructed raw lasagne - I cannot emphasize how cool this dish is - cultured cashew ricotta, dollops of tomato sauce and pesto, and thinly sliced ribbons of raw zucchini. It's phenomenal and I want to make it at home. Not as great - the chili pizza. It doesn't have enough toppings and was just an oily sheet of dry dough with globs of the same cashew ricotta. Besina: We were pleased to be introduced to Tlayuda, a thin Oaxacan flat bread that they top with jackfruit, loads of cultured cashew crema, herbs, and avocado. My partner was crazy about it but i'm generally not totally convinced by the sweetness of jackfruit and it was a little too wet for my taste. Not as great - the Tacos Dorados. Fried oyster mushrooms were heavy and dense and served with an aioli which contributed to the heavy flavors. Could be remedied with a lighter batter on the mushrooms and more of a salad/pickled veg component and it would be delicious. Updated from previous review on 2024-04-04”

New Rivers
“I read about New Rivers in RI Monthly, and decided to check it out with my husband (he loves bread, and we saw rolls listed). Best choice ever. We had a few drinks at the bar while we waited for our table to open, which were delicious. Once we got seated, we ordered a cheese plate and their famous New River Rolls. The cheese plate was small but curated so well. We could have eaten 3 orders of the rolls.. so worth it. The food was so fresh and flavorful, and genuinely just awesome to eat. Service was wonderful, the staff were super friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. Can’t wait to go back”
“I recently visited VL Lounge for a High Society RI event and was pleasantly surprised over the transformation into a vibrant entertainment hub and an extra layer of excitement from the crowd present. It's not just a place to savor exquisite dishes like the Taquitos and Teriyaki Skewers; it's an immersive experience that turns a regular evening into a memorable hookah filled celebration.”
“Luckily a friend told us about what to expect here otherwise we would’ve been totally confused. There are two separate businesses located in one location called “The Royal Bobcat” with OUI over the entrance. If that isn’t confusing enough you’ll need to walk thru the bar area to find a couple of menus on a small counter or, you can use the QR code on each table to peruse the menu. Ring the bell on the counter and someone will appear to take your food order. If you want drinks you order from the bar. We had the gumbo which was a small bowl of a Southern grandma’s comfort food. Next, the gooey chicken wings coated in a Korean finger lickin’ glaze and the vege dumplings – crispy and delicious although I have had better at another Korean restaurant. Overall, the food was good and I really like the vibe of the place with stained glass and sparkly lights in an intimate setting. My only slightly negative comment would be the bartendress who is low on the scale of friendly and definitely not a smiler. Bartending isn’t difficult. Really it isn’t. I bartended in my youth in strip clubs to huge nightclubs (which is probably why I can’t hear well now). Your job is to be a purveyor of liquid happiness with a side of charm. Cracking a smile now and again will can turn this bar into a beacon of joy amidst a delightful menu of seoulful bayou Korean-Cajun fusion concoctions.Parking: It's Federal Hill where parking is always a challenge.”
“We were curious to try this brewery. We liked it overall, but there was nothing that was outstanding. We liked the most "blessed be the fruit" sour beer.”
“One of our go to spots in the Providence area for Korean food! Also conveniently located near an Asian goods convenience store of sorts.We went on a Satuday for an early dinner and were seated within 5 minutes. Staff were attentive enough. Food was quick to come out and came out together. We had the bulgogi, ramen and fried chicken this time around. I don't think you can go around with most dishes here.Most notably for my experience was the bathroom and atmosphere. No music was playing overhead which made it very quiet - depending on your preferences, this may be a great thing or a bad thing.What I appreciated about the bathroom was that the single stall bathroom was separated from the sink which made it easier for me to wash my hands before and after meals without waiting on a long line. Bathroom was well maintained.Seating can get pretty tight if you're on the lower level, so be wary of bringing large groups without calling in advance.Parking: Limited paid and/or free street parking and lots nearby.Wheelchair accessibility: Location is not easily accessible. Stairs leading up to the entrance. Stairs leading up to the bathroom.”
“I honestly love this place and have gone multiple times went there recently and I have to say the girl that served us clearly didn’t know what she was doing. We order a few appetizers again love everything about this place so I’m a fan of most of the menu but she brought me the wrong appetizers and I didn’t say anything because we are hungry and didn’t mind but she never put in the other plate . I had to ask her to reorder. Then we got to Raman dishes and she brought out the wrong dish and didn’t even present me the right plate. While she keeps asking every 5 min if everything’s is fine making us feel rushed. After the meal we paid and I wanted to tip her more while handing her the money I inform her that I miss calculated the tip and wanted to give her more and her response was (Yah you did short me some money ) RUDE and so out of line if she is every my server next time I won’t tip her anything.”
“This may have been the best hot southern fried chicken sandwich I've ever had. Great vibe, scenery and efficient service at the new location on the water. Great to have the pick-up option as well on their website for a lunch option in the future.”
“Amazing food and experience. Their menu is fluid and every option is unique - made it tough to pick given how appealing everything sounded. Wife and I enjoyed the Mac Daddy burger, Odeum chicken sandwich, and a King Street Steak Tip sandwich because it was too tempting. Our sever Nicole was amazing, and manager John was incredibly nice and accommodating. We can’t wait to come back here.”

Julian's
“I ate here when I was vegan, and I still eat here now that I'm not. Excellent breakfast options for everyone. There's a wait if you come later, but it's so worth it.”
“Came in during college visits with my son and we were so happy to have such an incredible meal start to finish!!! Great atmosphere with river views. Might be in my top 3 all-time meal experiences! We started with calamari, the bread and olive oil were perfect, my son had the Bolognese with just a perfect hint of fennel, and my ricotta cavatelli was superb, not too creamy and pasta was perfection… we finished our meal with the apple tart with crispy crust, and just the perfect amount of sweetness with the crèm anglaise! 1 million thanks for a perfect evening!!”

Ivy Tavern
“Boyyyy, one of my spots I greedily don’t want to tell everyone about lest it somehow become too crowded or forced to increase prices. I’ll risk it to give Ivy its due credit. This has always been my fave spot to come when I’m gonna dine solo, sit at the bar in the corner and get a beer and burger. The burgers, I don’t know what makes them so good, but it’s like the griddle must be seasoned over time or something. It’s still the best burger in town aka all of RI. Their prices are totally reasonable, always have good happy chill music playing, and service has always been 10/10. Everyone’s always friendly and kind in a way that isn’t fake or too much. Just right. Today I got the smashed burger sub cheddar, onions o/s, sweet potato fries and a draft Fiddlehead. Couldn’t be better. Idk if my pic shows it but. These burgers. The fries just perfect ??”
“A true local and neighborhood gem. Food is amazingggggg and staff is very attentive and kind. Great place to have brunch or just have a fun dinner with a fun Latino spin! Truly recommend to anyone looking for exceptional food and great drinks, can’t wait to come again!!”

Oberlin
“This place has now become one of my absolute favorite restraints in all of Providence! It is a quiet, intimate restaurant with a refined appearance. The staff is courteous, efficient and does a great job of explaining the dishes. However, the best part of Oberlin is the amazing, unique selection of dishes. The focaccia was perfectly crunchy and it paired very well with the olive oil. The agnolotti with apple and cauliflower sauce were also to die for! My one critique of the dish is that I wish there was more of it! The portion size wasn't very large, and left me wanting more! Still delicious though!”
“Yooo whaddup! I'm visiting from Miami. If you're looking for the freshest and tastiest oysters this is the place to be. Excellent customer service. Easy reservations. Great tasting food. Amazing experience. Highly recommend the Cherry Stone Clams.”
“Located in the oldest indoor mall in America, Rogue Island has an eclectic Prov-Centric cuisine. If you haven't signed anywhere in Rhode Island this may be confusing. Let me explain. You see Providence has arguably the best food in North America and we have our own little twists to things..Unique, creative entrees and appetisers paired with local beers and spirits are just the beginning. I really can't do the quality of food here enough justice with words. They change the menu seasonally to reflect local sourcing and rhythms. They shop as local as possible. The chefs are locals. The vibe is Unique to Providence. It's located centrally downtown so there are no excuses because it is nearby buses, Uber and parking. Go here, eat great food and be happy!!!Dietary restrictions: Tell the staffParking: EverywhereKid-friendliness: Not so muchWheelchair accessibility: Yes”

Chilangos
“Amazing food and amazing service! I had the Enchiladas de Espárragos con Mole Apiñonado and it was the best Mole I've had! The bartender was fantastic and recommended an excellent margarita with tajin. Will be back soon ?”
“Absolutely delicious! Super fresh with great and friendly service. 10/10 Me and my fiancé love Açaí and we were so surprised and delighted when we stubbled upon Kwench. We will 100% be back!”
“What’s NOT to love about Anglelo’s? It’s a Federal Hill institution for a reason - great food and family atmosphere, warm and welcoming servers, and now with big beautiful windows overlooking Atwells Ave for that indoor-outdoor experience. And while it may be “old-school,” it continues to innovate - any restaurant that caters to gluten-free diners always goes to the tops of my list!”

Plant City
“This place is a massive YES!!! Everything is vegan!! Extremely tasty and quick to order.From fabulous coffees, baked goods, prepared meals, restaurant table service option, and vegan food bowls! Also there is a market with a good variety of vegan food also!A combinations of different options to fit your need!Outdoor and indoor seating area, heaps of places to work on the laptop with plugs for charging, and plenty of parking out the front and in the street!Loved it so much, that I came back 3 times in a space of one week work trip! A very strong yes! Will be coming back!Vegetarian options: Heaps of optionsDietary restrictions: Heaps of vegan options”
“It’s a good spot that stays open later than most places in the area but with really good food. I’ve come back multiple times in one week.Loved almost everything I’ve had here. The charcuterie board comes with soft boiled eggs and toasts.I like the lighting in the evening ; nice and dim but I did see some people needing their phone lights to see the menu. I thought it was perfect lighting though.Great mashed potatoes. Very creamy and maybe whipped?The prices of some items are reasonable and others are a bit more expensive. Fries were $9 and they were great but I just think that’s an odd price for that.It does get really loud in here at night on weekends as they try to transition into more of a bar.Parking is obviously a bit difficult but they seem to offer valet services and I chose to walk instead. It’s also not far from the bus for easy public transportation.You should make a reservation if you decide to come here during popular times like Friday-Saturday nights but most other times are fine.”
“good grief the reviews from people expecting pace salsa or mexican food are bananas. don't listen to those gringos. we ordered online so we could google anything we had questions about at our own pace because i only know so much about guatemalan food. here are my notes: 1. order took a while to get ready, but it was a lot of food so i can understand it easily. it was piping hot even by the time it got home from the way they packaged it. they put my pupusas in a foil container so they stayed steamy and melty. that's service!!! 2. my boyfriend did not like fried plantains before eating here. he sincerely looked like he was having a religious experience eating the ones that came with his adobada. i did NOT get to try one. he didnt even offer!!! that's how much he liked them!! 3. my pupusas were killer. perfect sauce, perfect flavor. 4. we did not like the guatemalan tamal. but not because it was poor in quality; it was because we tried something new and it just wasn't to our taste. live and learn! 5. the prices are perfect. i refuse to eat anywhere that charges more than 3 dollars for a taco. $1.50 tacos is heavenly. $3.00 pupusa is dangerous. we will be back. the only thing missing is dessert”
“The Best little coffee and wine barAuthentic to what'd in Italy Everywhere.Great Expresso and alot of imported Italian wines and foodTry it you'll love itYou'll think your in Sorrento”
“Parkside is my favorite! !!!!! And I'm not just saying that because my hubby works there. The food is truly amazing, the service is incredible and the atmosphere is perfect!!!! I would go every week if I could!”
“Service was exquisite. My wife and I felt like Royalty. The staff and the Manager on duty made our 10th Anniversary feel like we were dining at a royal palace. I can’t say enough but we want to extend our deepest thanks for making our celebration of our life together as memorable as they did.”

Vino Veritas
“We went here Easter Day, everywhere else was full(which we expected). We found this place walking to a crosswalk by chance. We were welcomed in. Myself and my son got french toast, my girlfriend got eggs Benedict. When it came out I had a chuckle cause I was not expecting half a loaf of bread. But omg it was so good and light. My girlfriend couldn't stop eating her Benedict although she was full. My son enjoyed his also. The drinks the adults ordered was fantastic and mixed well. My son got chocolate milk. We paid 15$ a plate for the french toast, 22$ for the Benedict and around 12$ for the drinks not the milk though. You get your money's worth. A small place but absolutely worth it. Look at the pics it says it all.”

The District
“We rented the upstairs room for a bridal shower and it was the absolute perfect space and experience! It is on the smaller side, fitting a max of 25 people, but that was perfect as we had a guest list of only 20. The booking process was easy and the food was delicious, but the service is what stole the show. We had one server, Maria, for the whole party and she was a rockstar. She was seemingly always there when we needed her, she was so sweet, and she made great menu recommendations. I highly recommend renting The District’s space if you have a small gathering - it was top notch!”
“Came tonight to celebrate my daughter's birthday! Food was delicious! My picky eater son loved the skewers! Steaks were phenomenal, as always! Our waiter was super nice, but I felt not very attentive given it wasn't a super busy night. Overall a great dinner at 10!”
“I had a wonderful experience at Nick’s last night. Brought my dad there for his birthday on a reservation I had made the night before. We were running ahead of schedule so called to see if they could take us early and they were SO accommodating! Also, I had mentioned (very much in passing) when I made the rez that it was my dad’s bday. I definitely didn’t make a big deal about it. And shortly after we sat down, our server (maybe she was the manager/owner?) brought over 2 glasses of Prosecco and wished him a happy birthday!!! What an amazing and thoughtful touch! The food was amazing as usual (I love nicks!) and when asked, our server knew where all the ingredients came from (almost all local!) and even turned me on to a new delicious tequila (also from a local family!). Overall, A+ rating for Nick’s!! Thank you!”
“Great food, great service. Several vegetarian and vegan options. The yakisoba available during lunch time is a favorite.Vegetarian options: Veggie ramen and yakisoba are great. There were a couple other vegetarian options clearly labeled too.”
“Excellent place to share a good family breakfast or lunch as a couple with friends or even alone. What I liked the most is its food and its drinks, I recommend it ?”
“Apps - Polenta fries were the best I’ve ever had. Nice crispy exterior and beautifully creamy inside. Well seasoned and you get the taste of jalepeño without the spiciness. As someone who makes their own plenty of fries at home, I highly recommend these!We also shared the ribs which were fall off the bone amazing! Sauce had a little kick and I appreciated the garnish with peanuts to provide some crunch!Overall, I think the apps were better than the entree and there were a lot more “small plates” to choose from.Entree - my partner and I split the fried chicken sandwich and burger. Both of which were great sandwiches, meaty and well seasoned. Fries come on the side and had a nice seasoning on them.Service - appetizers came out quick, no issues there. However, for the entrées, I was served my sandwich five minutes before my partner and was nearly done before he got his food. That’s really the only fault we can find!Key Takeaways:⭐️ bring friends to go tapas style with all the amazing small plates / appetizers⭐️ingredients are high qualityWheelchair accessibility: Accessible”
“This is my favorite place I have come by since moving to Rhode Island. The atmosphere is amazing and gives off great speakeasy vibes. The craft cocktails have fresh ingredients and are thoughtfully created. You will also get some of the best food in RI here. Highly recommend!”
“Pleasant atmosphere, courteous workers tending to your taste and owner more than accommodating to their customers. It’s just more than pleasant it’s like eating with family and friends like your home. Exquisite prepped delicious meals. I enjoyed my every visit. It’s like the return to the classic days of yesteryear with a modern flair. Thank you Bacco Vino & Contorni it is truly a pleasure dining with you.”
“Food here is great. Ignore all the bad reviews. People saw a video of a piece of rice falling off the pile it was connected to and assumed it was a bug. ‼️ IT WASN’T A BUG ‼️ I’ve been ordering food from here for years and haven’t had any issues. Highly recommend.”

Bolt Coffee
“Was walking by and saw someone eating avocado toast. So I ordered one myself. It was good a bit spicy and sweet coming from the pickled red onions. I'd recommend it.”
“We stopped in here after dinner for a few drinks and to catch the live sax performance. I'm not sure which was better, but neither disappointed. Can't wait to go back for the food which looked and smelled incredible.”

“This place rules. Food was impeccable, highly recommend the mussels appetizer and bucatini pasta dish. However you can get their spicy red sauce you need to try it. Server was happy to have us. Great night overall.”

The East End
“Over 400 kinds of whiskey! The food menu is small but good; no desserts. The boards have several fun options. Couple meals. Mostly apps, sandwiches, and burgers. This is where you go to have a few drinks and some apps with friends. Cute option for a date night. Not for kids. You go here to sample different types of whiskey you've never had. Some are expensive and some are not. There is beer, wine, and other spirits as well. Trendy. Great decor - metal and wood. As with most places in Providence, parking can be tricky. Give yourself some extra time.Kid-friendliness: Not for kidsWheelchair accessibility: No”

“Wow! The food here is spectacular!!! We tried a little bit of everything. The salmon ceviche is out of this world! The chicken thighs are not too be missed. We were licking the plates clean. Well done ladies! We will definitely be back!”
“McBride's Pub in Wayland Square is truly a gem. When you walk into Mcbride's you get the feeling that you could spend all day there. The picky thing that's different between an actual real Irish pub in Ireland and McBride's is a fireplace. Many of the pubs I visited when I lived there had them but this is just as good. Plenty of seats at the bar, and tables around the corner to get some solid food and watch a game. Everyone's friendly whether you're a local or local for just a bite to eat.”
“Great all around experience. Smoked wings and brussel sprouts were terrific, wonderfully seasoned and cooked to perfection. Pulled pork, brisket and chicken sausage were all great in their own way with nice blends of flavor and a good mix of crisp and tender bits of pork and brisket. The food didn't need extra sauce, but it did add a little to the pork. Finally, we all agreed that the skillet cornbread was amazing and would be worth doubling up on in the future!”
“We had an amazing time celebrating my wife’s 40th birthday. Our server Steven was very attentive as well as serenaded my wife with the most beautiful rendition of Happy Birthday. The dinner music was lovely, the singer had a fantastic voice as well. “Sara Smile” by Hall & Oates is my wife’s favorite and he sang it to the T!! Don’t get me started on that Banana Cream Pie, by far the best I’ve ever had!!! We will definitely be back!”

NAMI
“It was our first time trying Nami and we will definitely be back! The service was great Julia is the best, she recommended the passion roll and the crab Rangoon, both were amazing! We also had toro & salmon nigiri and toro sashimi, 10/10. Highly recommend the passion roll and the toro”

“We had a wonderful graduation dinner over the weekend. Not only was the service great, but the entire staff was wonderful!!

Thank you for a great dining experience!!”

Julianna's
“Hands down the BEST Peruvian food I have EVER had. Everything was seasoned and cooked to perfection! My favorite part of the entire night was when they brought out a whole bottle of their amazing signature sauce to every table instead of giving it out in small containers which is traditionally done at Peruvian restaurants. The service and atmosphere here was also a 10/10! I definitely recommend coming here!!”
“First time as was in town from Newport to see Little Jagged Pill at PPAC. Bartender (Tim?) was excellent friendly, knowledgeable on menu and made great handcrafted drinks. Manager (she moved here from NYC) was also excellent. I ordered the pork loin special, one of my friends ordered to porchetta over grits (I was a bit jealous as it was amazing. Overall a great experience.”
“The pizza tastes great. Service is poor. They seat you right away but once you're in it's difficult to get your server to move along the dinner. Couldn't get the check until 30 minutes after we ate. Importantly the pizza is great.”
“I'm pumped to have finally found authentic Japanese food in Providence! The food and service are very good and the prices are reasonable. The inside is clean and unassuming. We will be back regularly.”
“I like their food, the music and the atmosphere, but I have gone with different people and the truth is that they complain that the portions are very small, they could improve that, the rest is very good ?”
“If you value service like I do this place is great. First time being here and wasn’t disappointed. Food (picadera) was freshly made and tasted so good even my picky gf loved it. Only thing I did not like was the atmosphere (it was American night so a lot of English music) and the music was YouTube with ads in the beginning before the dj arrived. A place of this caliber should atleast have premium (no ads). Other than this I loved it and will be back.”
“Capri Seafood was AMAZING!! I got the Capri Cajun Medium seasoning on the Trio Combo and it was delicious! Just enough kick to thoroughly enjoy everything. My waiter was very nice and attentive. I would definitely come back.”
“Staff were super friendly and atmosphere was super chill!! Great place for parties or just pulling up to the bar and meeting new people. Food was made to order and delish!! Burrito was perfectly sized and the beans were so flavorful. Will have to try the quac next time cause I was hella full with tbt bean dip and carne asada burrito!!”
“Best Italian restaurant in New England! Sal is a great chef, with many traditional Italian dishes I was brought up on. Having been born on Federal Hill , I love the old world feeling dining at the OC! Waiter, bus boy, etc. plus the Who’s Who clientele that eats there, is a must go to place when visitors come to RI! You won’t be disappointed! Don’t rush! The your time and enjoy the experience!”
“Tortilla Flats is my go to restaurant. Great food, good service, and a great place to meet friends. This place rocks. Try the Mojito. it's the best around.”

The XO Bar
“I had some time to kill before catching a train out of town. I'm glad I stopped in here. Such a cool, laid-back cocktail bar in downcity Providence. Ryan is an amazing bartender who's quick with a drink suggestion and is an absolute artiste while making a cocktail. A good place to have a drink or two with.”
“I need to give a big shout out to Carissa. Not only did she take care of us beautifully. But she was very sensitive to the fact that my husband had just come out of the hospital and took care of us in a timely fashion so that we could enjoy a wonderful meal but make our exit also. Food was fantastic and I highly recommend the mushroom tortellini, not like anything you've had anywhere.”
“We have a team dinner at this place. Most of us are traveling from other East coast cities, like New York, Philly and Boston. If this can change to all you can eat version, that will be even better. For the food, I feel Spicy pot is better than the tomato one. (tomato one is not juicy enough) overall beef related meat is good. Frog leg is not tender enough, and stripe is not tasting right from real Chinese way. Overall is good.”

“My husband and I were fortunate enough to have Troop host our wedding in November and it was the best time! Every one of our guests commented that it was the best wedding they have ever been to. Adam and Nikki helped me from the beginning to capture my vision of my perfect wedding day. The staff was on point and the food...A-MAZING! No stuffy country club blah food here! And we had bartenders that rocked!! Never waited for a drink. As the bride...I have to give Nikki a special shout out, she was right there to make sure my husband and I ate and were taken care of. The best was when I was getting into the limo to leave and she handed me a take out bag with pieces of my wedding cake and Troop's delicious chocolate chip cookies. If you haven't had one then your missing out. My guests all left with one to take home. I highly recommend Troop to host your next party. Enjoy!”
“They have a solid menu with not too much of choices, therefore they serve really good and fresh food. Clam chowder is tasty and not too heavy.Parking: Free parking in a parking lot beside the location as well as paid parking garages in close walk distance.”
“Okay, so a friend of mine asked me to meet him here a few times and I really like this place. The bartender is so funny and the few people that were there were friendly”
“I recently hosted my sister's baby shower at Maria's Cucina, and it was such an excellent experience! Chris, the owner, scheduled several phone calls with me to ensure we had everything planned to perfection prior to the day, which was especially appreciated as I was planning from out of state. Chris was always kind and professional on our calls, and had great menu recommendations - especially considering our group had unique dietary needs (vegetarian and gluten free). The day of the shower, the staff was also extremely kind, professional, warm, accommodating, and so helpful. The food was delicious (we had an antipast platter and salads to start; our entrees were gluten free carbonara, eggplant parm with pasta, and a chicken parm sandwich with french fries; dessert options were creme brulee (DELICIOUS), tiramisu, lemon cake, and cannolis) , and highly complimented by everyone in attendance. I would host an event here again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much to Chris, and all of the staff!”

“Was our first time there the food was amazing the risotto meatballs were so good our meals were out of this world. Only feedback would not to charge 8 bucks for a drink that had no liquor in it other than that everything was fantastic”
“This was the best cocktail I’ve ever had! Maddie and Angie were amazing hosts and impressed my girlfriend, who is a highly rated mixologist. Thank you guys for a fun night.”
“Great restaurant in downtown Providence. Easy to get to. Great parking options. The food and staff are phenomenal. Food is absolutely delicious and served by great staff. Great romantic atmosphere. Can’t say enough about this restaurant!!”
“Red Stripe has got to be one of the most college-friendly spots on campus! The prices are very fair and there is a 20% RI college student discount. The atmosphere is comparable to an very upscale and clean diner with a full bar. There is a great rotating selection of local beers. The mussels are a popular dish and are delicious. I had the fish and chips which were great, but not exceptional. It was a very standard, simple and delicious meal. Fries are superb as well as the special sauces served with them. We had a great time and you definitely get what you pay for--nothing more and nothing less. A good spot to check out for a relatively budget meal.”
“Haven’t been to one before and wants to try it once. The service was very friendly, atmosphere OK,. The food really wasn’t in a class by itself, I could do just as well at local independents for less money.”
“Showed up late to my reservation they were still very kind and accommodating. The food came out promptly and was delicious. Our server was polite and helpful, the venue is clean and aesthetically pleasing. Would definitely come back!”
“Everything was absolutely perfect. I celebrated my birthday there on a Sunday afternoon for Brunch. I'm from Houston and came to celebrate with some good music, drinks and food. My waiter was John and he made the experience so special for me. I recommend this place 10 out of 10.”
“My boyfriend & I received a gift card to cheesecake factory from my parents and we were really looking forward to it. The food here was some of the best we have ever had, service was a little slow but we could see our waiter running around so it was understandable. However that being said we found our waiter to be rather rude. As mentioned we had been given a gift card otherwise we would not be able to afford to come here, we brought five dollars for tip but had to use some of it to cover the bill. We already felt bad for it but than the waiter made us feel worse by turning to us as we were leaving leaning in and telling us he was sorry for the bad service then dashing off before we could explain or say anything. Now we feel even worse than we already had for the tip and it completely killed the good mood we were in.”
“Our event tonight was a great success thanks to Dariela and her team & the delicious food ofcourse. The catering service was excellent. The team that came out was very professional. The food was grilled fresh and carved tableside and it was amazing. Thanks!!”
“Had ?? dinner at Trattoria Appia for our last night in Providence, Rhode Island before we headed back to Virginia Beach, Va. I got the SPAGHETTINI CON POLPETTE: Our famous meatballs, house marinara, hand-dipped ricotta and I subbed for their in house fresh made pasta and added grilled chicken and My wife got the LASAGNA DI CARNE: Traditional wood oven baked Neapolitan meat lasagna, house marinara, mozzarella.Dinner & Dessert was Tiramisu absolutely ?!!! My wife had made reservations and when we walked in we were greeted with a smile and seated us immediately. They replace table cloths before new guests arrive every time. Little details like this make us impressed for its cleanliness ?!!!”
“The baklava and ice cream combination is superb. And the feeling of being welcome is extraordinary. This is one of Providence’s gems.Dietary restrictions: One of our group is gluten free and allergic to nuts and the accommodation was excellent”
“A good place, first of all, I don't speak English and I had a very understanding young man, not knowing Spanish, and with my autistic son, he helped me with a lot of love and patience, excellent service. God bless him wherever he is, my son enjoyed everything thanks to that young manKid-friendliness: For young adults for everyone even disabled people and childrenWheelchair accessibility: Also for wheelchairs”
“I am a returning customer because our first visit was amazing. We sat at the bar and Our bartender was a nice young lady who was very knowledgeable and attentive at the bar. Very pleasant the whole time and the food was so amazing. Couldn't wait to come back.Then we came back...Peter was his name, and disappointment was his game.I asked for 2 Mojitos and I got 2 cups of gross sugary carelessness. My fruit and mint was not muddled or even shaken. He definitely just poured them in sequence over some lime and mint and handed them to us.I asked him to make them again cause we couldn't bear to choke them down. I was very nice and polite but I'm not gonna pay top dollar for zero effort.He brought the drinks back over...AND POURED THEM BACK INTO THE SHAKER! Added what I assumed was lime juice,(he did muddle them this time cause I asked him, even tho he said he muddled them the first time.)Then redistributed the drinks from the shaker back into the glasses and brought them back.After that he sat down and was folding napkins at a booth, away from the bar. Which on a Friday night seems strange to me.Getting up to help the lovely young lady's but kinda avoided us and also had and attitude with another patron at the bar so it wasn't just us ?The food thankfully was fantastic except for Peter not hearing us about the wasabi on the side of a sushi roll and put all the sauces together on the side including the wasabi.(Had to ask someone else for a spoon cause he was sitting at the booth away from the bar ?) Probably would have been better sitting at a table cause the guy who was doing the table drinks seemed on his game.All in all it was and uncomfortable experience and the only redeeming qualities were the food. Jackys Galaxy, they even have valet parking.But beware of Peter unless you just want a beer or a shot ?”

“We recently went to Pianta in Providence Rhode Island, one of our favorite plant-based restaurants and a very special gathering place for Missy and I. A huge shout-out to Chef Michelle, you made our night genuinely fulfilling with your exquisite yet simple plant-based goodness. Thank you for the good work you do in our world and for proving that you can eat joyfully and plant-based simultaneously!! You are soooo worth the 90 minute drive to visit with you. We appreciate you! Kate Forest and Missy Doe”
