Bit of a hidden gem which deserves to succeed wildly.“

“Today was me and my wife’s first time going to Olneyville New York System in Providence and we were both in awe while we were there and we kept talking about it how awesome it was after we left. Not only were the wieners excellent but the fries are some of the best we’ve ever had. Gotta get the coffee milk to go with the wieners, it is delicious. Most importantly, I want to give a shoutout to the crew that was working today. You all made us feel so welcome along with being super nice and accommodating to us. All I can say is that we will be back not only for the excellent food but for the atmosphere itself. We’ll be looking forward to seeing you all again. Have a great day !“

“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.“

“Hands down the best of the best people working here. Car broke down in front of restaurant and the owner was so kind and asked if we needed any help. I order from here regularly and the man who answers the phone is always so clear and kind, best customer service and most delicious thai cuisine in Rhode Island! I hope they can branch out to other places so more people can experience this great restaurant and the outstanding hospitality it offers ♥️♥️🇹🇭🇹🇭“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Great food and great staff.“

“We got a big stack of party pizzas for our wedding yesterday and they were a big hit. Good reviews coming back to us. Staff were friendly and helpful when we placed our order.“

“I’d like to give a shout out to a local businesses where I had an absolutely delicious meal. I was looking for something new & different in the Cranston area close to Garden City that wasn’t the same old monotonous fare that I’m used to. I stopped in for lunch on Thursday as I had an appointment on Reservoir Ave & again for dinner on Sunday after I picked up a cake at Antonio's Bakery. I’d like to start out by saying, I’m half Italian on my Dad’s side (Neapolitan, from the Avelino region, & Sicilian, specifically from Messina) & a quarter Armenian on my Mom’s side (ancient Armenia which is modern day Turkey)…so therefore I’m extremely fussy about my Italian, Armenian, Mediterranean, & Middle Eastern cuisine; my Grandma (Neapolitan) & Grandma (Armenian) were outstanding chef’s in their respective kitchens, & I was outrageously spoiled as a child & very rarely ate out, I had the best of the best~those skills were certainly not passed down nor inherited by me-scrambled eggs in the microwave anyone. With that being said… The owner (who is from Syria, so you know you’re getting an authentic product) & his team provided great customer service, very attentive & patient, knowledgeable about the food they’re serving & able to explain the flavor profile of each item. The restaurant is pretty well taken care of & clean. They encouraged me to try the shawarma, I’m glad I listened, I wasn’t disappointed…now I’m obsessed. I ordered the grape leaves, hummus, & chicken gyro. The grape leaves and the tzatziki were okay, I was expecting a tangy, lemony flavor with the grape leaves along with a more traditional look as well as flavor to the tzatziki, however the hummus & chicken gyro were very good. The hummus was creamy & the gyro was light, airy, & mild…it felt like I was eating healthy. The owner provided a free sample of their falafel…which I had at another establishment years ago & didn’t like…when I returned on Sunday I ordered that along with the chicken gyro, & the owner gave me a free paklava dessert-to my surprise I thoroughly enjoyed it as I’ve found others hit or miss & off putting. Needless to say, I had an amazing experience & I’ll definitely be a repeat customer for sure when I’m in town.“

“Very happy to discover the new Sonia’s Deli. My BYOBowl was fantastic. So much to choose from and very fresh. Shat hamov eh! I look forward to the reopening of the market for Armenian groceries. 🇺🇸🇦🇲“

“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“

“I had my engagement party at Working Man Distillers and truly couldn’t have picked a better place. Everybody was complimenting how unique and cool The venue was, a hidden gem despite many of my guests being locals they hadn’t heard about it yet. It was so fun to show them one of our favourite spots and I know they will all be visiting again. Thank you to Kelly and John who are the kindest hosts. We truly wouldn’t have changed a thing about our event.“

“Finally ate at Rhody Roots last night and the only thing i’m disappointed at is that we haven’t gone in and tried their food sooner. They were so accommodating, our server was fantastic,and everything we ate was amazing!! 10/10 100% recommend!!! Can’t wait to go back!!!“

“Great selection of REAL good food. Love the vegetarian and vegan options and there's ton's of great flavor in everything I've tried... from some nice light tacos to their decadent chorizo and queso dip (available with the vegan meat as well!) ... it's just all super fresh stuff, and on top of that the service is great - wicked friendly and down-to-earth small business vibe AND they get your order ready.

Sometimes the phone is busy, but every time I've just walked into put in a takeout order I'm out the door with some yummy food in less than 10 minutes. Highly recommend!“

“Exceptional service to match the delicious food. The duck confit was fabulous - very tender and flavorful. Quiet, private ambiance. Dinners are served with a salad, warm French bread and a little pot of soft butter. Perfect setting for a romantic dinner. Nice wine selection with varied price points. Highly recommend.“
