Tapas Restaurants in Providence, RI

“Friendly folks and out of this world food. Come meet Carlos, the best human. Foodies will love the tapas menu.“

“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.“

“We stumbled across this place tonight without realizing it was entirely Vegan. We're not Vegan ourselves, but our daughter is, so we eat a lot of Vegan cuisine. I ordered a zucchini "steak" dish that sounded unique, and my hubby got the country "chicken." Both were extraordinary - the best meal either of us has had since we moved to RI (and we've had some great meals). The food was honestly bursting with flavor, and the quantity was just right. The service was perfect, too, attentive without being intrusive. We debated getting dessert, since the dinner flavor left such a satisfying taste behind, but we couldn't resist the gluten-free chocolate brownie. It came with raspberries on top and a trickle of raspberry sauce, in a combination that was again perfect - crispy edges, a gooey center, sweet and rich but not too much so, with the raspberry flavor offsetting the chocolate in a way I've never tasted in my entire not-particularly-young life. It was so, so good, and to my surprise, it blended well with the dinner flavors. I've been sitting here all evening enjoying the last remnants of the taste, reluctant to go brush my teeth, and I thought I should take a moment to leave a review on the various sites. We will absolutely be return customers, and we can't recommend this restaurant enough!“

“As I said “ INTERESTING PLACE ““

“Fantastic place with great service sharing wine or drinks and delicious appetizers (or a whole perfectly cooked steak platter) with a date or a few friends. The tequila cocktail and the vermouth were excellent and they offer 3 sizes of wine from a small glass to a bottle at reasonable prices. Don’t skip the chicken empanada. It may be the best one in prov. Overall a gem for the neighborhood and well worth a date night jaunt from out of town.“

“La comida excelente y el servicio aún mejor!“

“We had a wonderful graduation dinner over the weekend. Not only was the service great, but the entire staff was wonderful!! Amazing chef prepared all the things including Paella and my favorite flan!! Do yourself a favor and get the paella, scallops and the pork belly and finish with a flan!! Thank you for a great dining experience!!“

“We LOVED Layali. We ate there a month ago while visiting RI and my husband is still talking about the burger.“

“Terrific food, drinks, and atmosphere. Staff was friendly and made it a great visit. We will be back again.“

“Had a craving for some GOOD Japanese curry today, so stopped at this place for the first time. Did not disappoint!!! It was thick and flavorful, delicious!! I don't think there were potatoes in there? (maybe there were, and I just devoured them too quickly to notice) but that would be my only critique. Side of brussels sprouts were great too. Will definitely be back to try the ramen!“

“It has been a while since last time I got to enjoy this restaurant. I am glad to report thag the food, service, staff and atmosphere are still the best in Rhode Island! I finally got to introduce my fiancé to this wonderful establishment and see her eyes light up, tasting everything we ordered!“

“Love Mofungo and it’s close to home“

“Tori Tomo has the very best ramen I have ever eaten. They know me well. I eat lunch there at LEAST once a week. Get the Tom Yum Ramen with Chicken. It's very hot and spicy but not inedible! It's the perfect meal. So satisfying and tasty. Most gracious owner/ chef and lovely waitstaff are always keeping the place in perfect form. It's a literal "can't miss" choice.“
