“The food was spectacular and the server was amazing. Malyse was a great server and recommended a lot of delicious dishes!“

“If you are looking for affordable, tasty food and great portions? This is the spot! I walked in and was immediately greeted by the man behind the counter. I had a lot of questions and he answered them kindly and informed about so many items on the menu. There is an option for everybody! They have a good amount of high chairs where you can sit and eat. I ordered the shrimp pad Thai; it was fresh, hot and had a nice kick to it. For a drink, I ordered the strawberry passion fruit slush with lychee jelly. So good! I cannot wait to return!“

“This place is next level! The baba and Beef Shawarma is the best I’ve had! And.. don’t sleep on the pizza, because it is legit!!“

“Absolutely. Amazing. Food. Can't recommend enough. Whether you love South Americam food or ar just adventurous, it's incredible!“

“Great value and service and delicious food“

“Had to get a late supper. We are travelling and found this place on Happy Cow. The food is fantastic and so is the staff. If you’re in Providence check this out. Vegan and Kosher…priceless.“

“Dan and I both grew up in Bangkok, and when we were teenagers, our respective families would take us to French restaurants. One of the dishes we both remember vividly was steak au poivre—perfectly cooked steak with that incredible creamy, brandy-peppercorn sauce. It was absolutely fantastic.

Ever since, we’ve been on a relentless quest to find steak au poivre that tastes the way we remember it.

We’ve tried it in Quebec. We’ve tried it all over New England and New York. We even tried it in France. Some have been good, some very good—but that traditional French flavor, especially that sauce, has always been just a little off.

Until last night. After decades of searching, we finally found it.

The steak. The whole peppercorns. The cream. The brandy. That rich, unmistakable sauce we’ve been chasing since Bangkok.

One bite and we looked at each other: THIS is it.

And where did we finally find the steak au poivre we’ve been searching for all these years?

The Capital Grille.

And it wasn’t just the steak. The creamed spinach, potatoes au gratin and creamed corn were all fabulous—and the bread was to die for. It was one of those meals where absolutely everything on the table was delicious.

And a special shout-out to our server, Pablo, who was exceptional and made an already wonderful dinner even better.“

“Gracie’s vegetarian and tasting menus were creative, fun, and delicious! Can’t wait to discover more.“

“We went to the Newport location. Everything was quality & delicious. The frozen key lime drink was so refreshing. The vibes were great. The bartender was very friendly and anticipated our needs. Definitely a favorite new spot!!“

“Great atmosphere! And Christine our server was awesome. Very friendly and helpful. She checked on us consistently- thanks! I only got pics of our appetizers as we were hungry and chowed on our mani courses. Started with a 1930 DAQ, Wawtuhmelon and a Vino Rosso Gaio - all drinks were tasty! We started with the Truffle fries and the Crispy Duck Meatballs- oh my both were great! The flavor in the Duck meatballs was amazing! The sweet chili glaze just hits it out of the park! On to dinner I ordered the Steak Frites - excellent flavor and cooked perfect! Wife ordered the Chicken Picatta - very tasty with a great lemon flavor! Daughter ordered the Pink Vodka - also really flavorful with interesting noodles I had not had before. Thank you for a great experience- we shall be back! Thanks Chef Max!“

“A wonderful experience and the best Italian restaurant in Rhode Island“

“So I ordered a strawberry shortcake pancake and Mix home fries with sausage and cheese. The pancakes were fluffy and airy, the strawberries were fresh. I would say I would prefer them to give me less of the custard because it was too much and over powering. The home fries with the mix with the sausage and cheese were great, very flavorful.“

“Great vegan options! Super friendly staff!“

“One of my favorite restaurants on “The Hill”. The dining experience at Massimo is always a 5 star experience. Yesterday afternoon we had Janelle as our server and she was superb- it made it a 5 star PLUS visit. Blood orange Cosmos, eggplant appetizer, chicken parm, pistachio cannoli, tiramisu- all excellent. Highly recommend“

“Our server, John, was absolutely top notch, friendly, professional, knowledgeable, timely, attentive, and just a total pro at his job, he represented the restaurant beautifully and if I ran that place, I would be sure to keep him in the public’s service, food was great, view was great, 5 stars.“

“Today was my 62nd birthday. Tori the waitress brought me a cup of Gelato with a lit candle in it. She is a great waitress and I recommend Pasta Beach to anyone looking for a great restaurant with great, fast service and yummy food“

“I have numerous food allergies, making going out to eat an anxiety filled experience for me. We found Cassarino's while looking for a safe place to eat while in Providence. I've struggled with finding an Italian restaurant I'm comfortable eating at for years! Our server, Morgan, went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and safe while eating here! I would happily take the 45 minute drive down here to eat again.“

“Very cool unique place. somehow they do things and run the place in a slightly different way that makes them one of a kind pizza place. Pinball was incredible. Well maintained machines of all your favorite that you never got to enjoy because they were broken. Don't miss the Ems in the back past the bathrooms.“

“Best beer in RI! Fantastic IPAs, stouts & Sours. Staff is awesome too.“

“Had the pasta dish (began w L)and pork chop. Both were excellent. Really trendy atmosphere. Also loved the cheese cake dessert. The only thing was when it costs $13 for a glass of wine, I'd like a good pour. The pours were a bit small. Service was excellent. Pricey but expected this, would definitely go back.“

“Outstanding meal! There were 7 of us for a family gathering (we met in the middle for CT + MA family) and everything about our dinner was exceptional! The food, the wine, the calamari + dip, the bread, the olive oil + balsamic dip were all delicious, but the lobster ravioli and caramel gelato were to die for. Omg! Our server was perfect too. We will be back. Thank you!“

“Best for lunch and breakfast. There is a reason this place is so busy yet you can always find a seat. Staff A+. Large tasty portions at great prices. Corn muffin is a meal in itself served in a unique way.“

“Wonderful night tonight at Cafe Nuovo celebrating a birthday for our twins. The food was fantastic and the server was wonderful. We loved it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“This restaurant is awesome but if Cosa Nostra had any f****** balls whatsoever they would get a list of all the members of the temple of Satan/Set from facebook and start rounding them up like veal.“

“Flatbread pizza was really good 1st time we’ve eaten there Definitely go again“

“The best spicy margaritas in RI! Pair that with shrimp street tacos & guacamole with chips...Winner!! Friendly wait staff. Perfect spot to sit outside & people watch after walking around the city. Highly recrecommended“

“This is the best pizza place in Providence. They have a big menu with plenty to choose from. The atmosphere is very welcoming and comfortable. The establishment is also very clean. They even have great espresso and lattes.“

“we had a wonderful experience sitting at the chef's table today for brunch! everything was delicious, we will definitely be back“

“Holy Toledo… I just got the vegan cheeze pizza for the first time and it’s my new favorite!! SOOOO good—you could fool an omnivore with this one! This is definitely going to be my new regular pizza spot!!“

“Food really good good place“

“I first saw Tomaselli’s at Rosario advertised on TikTok by a young lady who showed the size of the Chicken Parmesan. Unbelieving, my husband, my daughter, and I went to Tomaselli’s to check it out ourselves. We were not disappointed. We’ve never seen Chicken Parmesan that large. Had enough to feed my husband and myself supper the next night. Dining is in a large hall. Very informal, family friendly.“

“Been patronizing Angelo's for years (years & years) - it's my 'Go To' place in Providence for Italian. There are plenty of good Italian Restaurants but Angelo's treats you like family . My favorte server is Thera - always smiling - always friendly - and always flying around the resturant making sure everyone is happy. My recommendation - ask for her :-)“

“Fabulous special occasion cozy spot. Fabulous for gluten free dining.“

“The tandoori chicken and clay oven kababs are frequently praised“

“Great atmosphere, friendly, efficient service and delicious food!“

“I have heard so many great things about Anthony’s so I had taken my wife there for Mother’s day. When we walked into Anthony’s we were taken away with its cozy atmosphere. The waitstaff was very friendly and made me feel like we were at home. The drinks were on point. The appetizers were so incredible, delicious. Our entree’s were delicious and delectable. My wife and I cannot wait to go back and have an exquisite meal again at Anthony’s.“

“This is my favorite bar/pub in PVD. Good beer selection with plenty of local brews and interesting stuff. Their homemade soft pretzels are immaculate, and the sandwiches served on them are also very good. Quick walk from the AMP or PPAC, can get busy after events.“

“The girls working there were kind and my son wanted me to eat there and treated me to my first Korean food 👍😁.“

“5 Stars! Buttonwoods is a wonderful brewery! The beer is always delicious! The bartenders are just the sweetest! The food at Screaming Unicorn’s kitchen always hits just right. Plus, Big Time Trivia is the best trivia in the state, and it’s clear that Buttonwoods has the best social media presence out of every brewery I’ve been to. I just wish their dog-friendly patio looked better. =(“

“Had an incredible meal there last night! The buffalo chicken egg rolls, the Rogue Melt, and the lobster Mac & cheese. All amazing! I’m more of a vodka drinker but the beer selection was incredible and our waiter helped me pick the perfect wheat beer! 100% I’d go back (when in town). A definite 2 thumbs up!“

“New owners and menu!
2026 updated review
Still one of my favorite places to come and hangout. The menu shifts every 2 weeks and the prices are great.
Always a good time.
Summer offers the out door patio.
And always a great selection of beer (if that's your thing)
Service is always prompt and friendly.
Keep doing what you do !“

“Location/decor/ambiance: the owners have tried to turn the spacious brick and beam interior of a former factory building into a ghetto-ish inner cityscape skateboard park using graffiti-style airbrush graphics, little skateboards that serve as bar chair seat backs, concrete floors painted with Providence manhole covers, etc. Visually, the effect is mixed. I “get” what the owners are trying for, but it isn’t for me an “attractive” dining decor. It looks much more like a dance club for young twenty-somethings. I quickly adjusted to the inner-city grunge decor, but what we couldn’t adjust to was the VERY loud rap/hip-hop music blaring out of some very robust speakers non-stop. Talking was difficult. Yes, I’m an older person, but I don’t begrudge anyone their musical sensibilities… provide its not full of “***** and “nigga” and roaring out at at least 90 decibels. Whatever they’re trying to be, they need to remember that they are l (at 10 am) a restaurant, not a dance club. Food & service: unexpectedly, given the above criticism, the food was outstanding, I mean really good. Caught us off guard. Just beautifully imagined and realized. Would I return? Probably not. Even the great food cant quite overcome the soundscape. Interesting place, though“

“Excellent!!! Highly recommend, warm and cozy intimate atmosphere.“

“This place is awesome! we got the ham dinner and chicken sandwich and they were both delicious. Our 2 year old liked it too.“

“I visit Ivy Tavern everytime I come to Providence, RI. Excellent food and drink, but even more important, to me, are the friendly folks that run the tavern. Because they are always genuinely friendly, treating every customer with kindness, the regulars that frequent the tavern always seem to be more sociable than I normally see in most places. This is a hard to find quality, these days.“

“Food was delicious: the mushroom soup was best ever, chef's specialty given his knowledge and use of wild mushrooms; boeuf bourguignon was superb; the creme brûlée was the best I've ever had. Wine list is extensive -- we each had a glass of wine with dinner post cocktail earlier (full bar). Owner came by for a delightful conversation and later brought the chef with him. Restaurant is open Friday and Saturday only -- well worth the wait and reservations. It's quite a lovely restaurant.“

“La comida excelente y el servicio aún mejor!“

“This is the best ramen restaurant in the east coast in my opinion. I've tried many ramens from cheap to expensive and went to Japan to try the authentic ones. Pickerel is a whole new level of flavor experience. The chef really elevated ramen to the next level and every week they offer different flavors. So, there's always something for everyone. The first ramen I tried was a yuzu chicken broth ramen which felt like my mom's hug. It had the most amazing broth that was so clear, delicate and refreshing which I never experienced in any restaurant in the USA. They offer drinks that pair well with ramen especially wine. I never thought wine would work with ramen, but somehow they did it.

They do spontaneous closing here and there. So, if you're planning to go there, make sure to check their instagram for any post. It's first come, first serve. Usually people line up when they open. If you come around dinner time 6pm or so, you'll probably have to wait at least 30-60 min depending on the day. The inside seating is not suitable for large party ~ max 4 people.“

“Great pizza and friendly service!“
