14 Best Wine Bars in Providence

“Good vibes, great cocktails and yummy food.“

“This little restaurant, raw bar, bar bar is not messing around. They handle their shellfish perfectly, cold, crazy fresh, and masterfully shucked. I recommend just a dash of the mignonette to just highlight the delicious flavors of the posters. The bartender told me the raw scallops have never left the menu so I ordered them. I can see why they're almost a signature of GH. The bok choy pancake is really good but strangely filling. Plenty for 2.

The cocktails are well mixed.

Highly recommended.“

“I held a rehearsal dinner at Maria’s and I cannot say enough how great it was to plan with the help of Chris Spertini. He made the whole evening a success by guiding me with food choices and seating arrangement. Our server was excellent. She was extremely attentive to our guests. This will be my go-to restaurant. If you have not dined at Maria’s you are missing out.“

“The part of me that wants everyone to feel what it's like eat at your nonna's house where they think you are the greatest thing that ever happened, triumphed over the part of me that wants to keep this place a secret so there isn't a line out the door every day. Giovanna clearly knew what she thought each of us should eat but tried hard to not let it show "but, eat what you want...." She was excited in the way only a Napolitana can be when we chose her recommendations, osso bucco for Mike and lobster raviolo for me. It was amazing food wrapped in a childhood memory.“

“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!“

“Last night, May 5th, my fiancé and I celebrated our engagement at The Capital Grille in Providence, and I truly cannot put into words how special the entire staff made us feel.

We had no reservations and decided to walk in after my proposal because the restaurant was across from our hotel. From the second we walked in, the experience was absolutely exceptional.

Our hostess, Jada, was incredibly sweet and welcoming. When she asked if we were celebrating anything special and I shared that we had just gotten engaged moments before, she immediately made us feel celebrated and cared for. When she brought us to our table, it was beautifully decorated with heart confetti and a handwritten congratulatory note. Such a thoughtful touch that instantly made the night even more magical.

Our server, Alex, was AMAZING. Truly one of the best servers we have ever had. He was attentive, kind, professional, outgoing, and made our entire experience feel warm and personal. Every recommendation was wonderful, the service was flawless, and he genuinely made our night feel extra special.

Then the manager, Danielle, came to our table to personally congratulate us. She had such a beautiful energy and made us feel so welcomed and appreciated. She told us if we needed absolutely anything, to let her know. That small moment meant so much to us because she genuinely did not have to go out of her way to make us feel celebrated, but she did, and it made a lasting impression.

The food and drinks were phenomenal from beginning to end. Everything was delicious. But what truly touched us was how the night kept getting sweeter. At the end of dinner, we were surprised with a complimentary dessert that said “Congratulations” and it was incredible. Even as people who normally don’t like cheesecake, we both loved it. And just when we thought the surprises were over, Alex came back with a bottle of champagne and two glasses as a gift to celebrate our engagement.

The level of hospitality, kindness, and genuine care we experienced at The Capital Grille was beyond anything we expected. They turned an already unforgettable night into an even more beautiful memory we will cherish forever.

Thank you so much to Jada, Alex, and Danielle for making us feel so special. We will absolutely be back. Five stars isn’t enough.“

“Was in town for a weekend on leisure and loved everything about this place. Ambience, music, the pear and honey margarita was a highlight. Special shoutout to Bianca, who handled the Saturday rush seamlessly and has an infectious personality. You could tell she brings the best out of her clientele and colleagues.“

“Great food. Attentive staff. Shareable plates!“

“Love Sawyers! Favorite time to go there is early evening for a glass of wine and some aperitif. Sandwiches are great quality and freshly made. They are filling but not too heavy end your day at lunch. We recently tried their amazing breakfast sandwich. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable about their offerings. Worth picking their brain about wine selection, they know their stuff. Their dinner pop ups are worth going out of your way for too! Great neighborhood spot, thrilled it’s there!“

“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!“

“Last night at Flemings... I've had one of the best steaks I've had in years.....I'm a former chef and as a chef I look for all aspects in a restaurant...My wife recommended Fleming's due to the fact that she went there in Florida...we had the most attentive waitress by the name of Jocelyn. I'll never forget her. plus the rest of the staff will also so attentive. I really appreciate that you rarely find that in restaurants nowadays...I will be back....FIVE STARS IN MY OPINION“

“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.“

“We went here for the first time Friday night. Food and drinks were amazing. Wish I could remember our servers name because he was great, made excellent recommendations. We had the frutti di mare with homemade pasta and Bolognase. So good. My pear martini was the best I’ve ever had. Adffogato for dessert. Think this is our new favorite spot. Thanks for a great evening!“

“don't order online ... they take your money, never ships the product, and you never hear from them again. I'm about to call a lawyer if I don't get my $24.00 back. much faster service if you drive to RI from Florida to find a store where you can pick it up from a shelf.“
