Restaurants in Providence

“Went here as part of the RI Food Fights and I was blown away. The slice of cheese pizza I received was massive, had a great crisp to the dough, and had a nice sweet sauce. Everything about the slice was exactly what I like. Spoke with the owner about some of their other products and ended up getting an order of hand rolled grape leaves. They tasted great and I will absolutely be back here to try more of their menu.”

“Had the pasta dish (began w L)and pork chop. Both were excellent. Really trendy atmosphere. Also loved the cheese cake dessert.

Highly recommend for anyone looking for the best oysters, fun drinks, beautifully inspired Korean/American cuisine and a lovely atmosphere!”

“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!”

“Amazing ambiance, service and cuisine!”

Vegetarian options: Reasonable array of veg options.”

“Such a kind peaceful atmosphere. The music👌🏼. The hostess👌🏼. The server👌🏼. The decor👌🏼 And the plates were out of this world. Thank you!”

“First visit to Chomp, RI while visiting its newest chef and son in law, Max. Wow this place was hopping. Excellent atmosphere with hysterical signage. I like the window to the kitchen so you can see the chefs and it affords easy access to the plates for the wait staff. McKenna was our waitress and she was Great - attentive and helpful on suggestions. The food was Excellent! All their items are made in house - sauces, dressings, toppings, Burgers, Corned Beef etc!We started with the salt and vinegar Sprouts - oh the flavor and the bacon fat mmm, mmm!!! Then we had the Classic Smash Burger with a GF bun for our GF daughter! Outstanding! Then the wife had the Mediterranean Burger - really tasty! And I had the Truffle Shuffle Burger with Truffle fries- oh Yum! Flavorful and nice and hot off the griddle! Thank you for a great experience and a wonderful meal - We shall be back on our next visit to Providence!!!”

“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.”

“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”

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

“Food really good good place”

“Great food and friendly service. Just right for visiting Providence's Federal Hill district.”

“I'm back in town to visit family and I needed to check out PVDeli. I kickstarted from Tennessee because I know the importance of having places that offer amazing vegan food for good prices. It's great walking into a place and not having to wonder what's in it, or having to special order. I had The Frank, and The Trio, both small. I thought I'd be able to make the 13 minute drive back to Pawtucket without digging in, but alas, I could not. I ate The Trio on the drive and The Frank when I got back to where I'm staying. Yea, I at 'em both for supper (suppah) I am how fat vegans are forged Both sandwiches are outstanding - the size, the combination of flavors, value are remarkable. The staff was quick and efficient. In and out, at 7PM on a Friday night. The experience and mission of Providence Vegan Deli makes me very happy that I was a small part of the reason they seem to be off and running and destined for long-term success. I said, as I was walking out the door, if yall decide to expand, I know a couple from Knoxville that would be interested in helping the expansion. Congratulations and continued success.

“This is our first time here got a couple bahn mi sandwiches. I got the mixed and my girl got the BBQ beef ... mines was okay but hers had a lot of chewy fat meat inside the sandwich. We had a couple different drinks and they were definitely amazing though we had the coconut Frosty one with mango jellies and strawberry jelly the vegetarian spring rolls was also good”

“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.”

“Holy mackerel was this place good. I've been trying to get here for some time now on the recommendation of a friend, now I know why! the staff was great and the food was excellent it's adorable inside as well. for such a tight area the parking was still pretty good. Will definitely come back many times.”

“Food was great and the deserts were amazing. Lots to choose from.”

“Roberta was the best. I recommend the Huevos ranchero’s.”

“Just had the most amazing chicken Caesar salad wrap …I can’t get over it so I had to give a shout out and I won’t stop talking about it for at least a week 🤣 this was my first time trying this place and I can’t wait to come back!!”

“My husband and I were visiting Providence for a wedding and stayed at the Hampton across the street. This place caught our eye, and we are so thankful it did. Not only did we come here for lunch, where I got fettuccine with marinara and my husband got a Philly Cheesesteak, we ordered 2 pizzas later that night when our friends showed up because we loved them so much. The in-person service was immaculate, and the takeout service was amazing. Super polite employees and a great atmosphere. I'm almost sad I don't live in Providence because I can't eat here more often.”

“Great food, great personalities, great prices”

“Best honey hot chicken sandwich i think ive ever had!!”

“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”

“Great vegan options! Super friendly staff!”

“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.”

“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”

“What a gem! I got Lavender Fields and it was beautiful and so unique. Pastries were good too. But look at the decor! I have never been to a coffee shop like this. They offered to make my take-out coffee for someone else after I finished my own. Owner chatted with me a bit and gave me recommendations on where to visit in Providence. Top notch service. Short 5 minute walk from Veterans Memorial Auditorium.”

“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.”

“Wonderful place to eat the best Middle Eastern food in RI , they also have some outstanding deserts, I would recommend this place for sure”

“The best breakfast sandwiches! The Vermonster is my favorite.

This is definitely more of a to-go spot as seating is limited and it gets super busy!”

“Incredible staff. Incredible environment. Incredible seating. Incredible chai latte. Incredible undertoes. And the most incredible company. Truly incredible. 11/10 would recommend.”

“Truly an incredible place with even more lovely people. Places like this are what keep our city wholesome. And of course they have tasty yums and bevs”

“We went for dinner for a weeknight in early September. Reservations were available on short notice and missed the college parent crowds. First time here after hearing about it for a number of years.

We shared a couple of appetizers and really enjoyed the cheese/charcuterie board and calamari. Calamari was crispy and sauces were delicate. Cheese board was also delicious and we liked that we could mix and match. Not many places offer pate, so we enjoyed having that as an option.

The gnudi dish was the best of the evening. They’re something between a small dumpling and gnocchi, and were so incredibly tender! Sauce was very delicious and we highly recommend trying this dish.

Entrees were okay, but not amazing. They’re known for their burger but I found it lackluster. Saddest part was the French fries were soft and tasteless. Burger meat was drier than it should be; likely too much fat rendered off during cooking. Bun had no integrity and didn’t hold up to the burger.

Pork loin was good, but serving size was extremely small for an entree. There were only 3 slices of pork on the dish.

Desserts were simple and well-executed, but not a highlight.

Atmosphere can be very nice if not too loud. Great place for a date, grabbing light fare, or having a drink at the bar.”

“Top Tier Dining Experience. Nestled in a cozy corner, this intimate ramen restaurant truly captures the essence of Japan's iconic alleyway eateries. From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted with a warm, inviting atmosphere. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, making you feel right at home. The ramen is nothing short of spectacular—beautifully prepared, with rich, flavorful broth, perfectly cooked noodles, and tender toppings that make every bite a delight. The entire experience, from the food to the service, is top-tier. It’s a hidden gem that delivers a true taste of Japan’s with a unique culinary twist only Providence's local food scene can offer.”

“Marcos went above and beyond for us as a bartender!!! Highly recommended him if you’re looking for a fun guy for conversation while you eat. Drinks were absolutely amazing!”

“Everything is delicious, beautiful cafeteria with authentic Spanish bakery! I recommend you to try! 5 ⭐️”

“Thank you, Ruba, for the delicious lunch. Your eggplant is incredible.”

“Just tried this charming spot on Thursday and have fallen in love with the drinks, atmosphere, and service. The location is prime (right on South Main) and the inside is cozy, full of character, and gives off speakeasy vibes. The woman who welcomed and served us was more than willing to answer any questions about the drink menu, which had the perfect mix of cocktails (ranging from fruity to herbal and beyond), beer and wine. We ordered the Limoncello Spritz and punch — both tasted AMAZING, plus were poured into pretty glassware (aka making this place a hotspot for IG-worthy pics, which our hostess also advised us on regarding best lighting!). All in all, The Walnut Room is PVD’s newest gem and offers stunning, safe (remember: wear your mask!) service and space, which makes these not-so-normal times feel pretty special. Go support this new biz/bar on South Main!! 😍”

“On our way out of town, we stopped here as our last hoorah for lunch. We’re so glad we did! Super friendly staff, cool atmosphere and amazing pizza! We got a cheese pizza and the crazy bread bites. Our whole family was blown away! Definitely a must next time we’re back in town.”

“Best coffee in town with very friendly and knowledgeable owners. You will not be disappointed. New to Providence or just visiting, enjoy a cup of coffee and get great suggestions on what to see and do. They are supporters of local artisans for all your souvenir needs. Can’t say enough good things about this place. ❤️”

“I enjoyed having dinner here with my awesome date. Jeff was very kind and made me feel very comfortable about eating out despite my food allergies. He took the time to tell me how food was prepared and I never felt rushed at all. I also appreciated that the chef was willing to prep the sides totally different area where nuts maybe. Highly recommend this restaurant for hugh class service and making you feel welcomed.

Dietary restrictions: They can accommodate nuts and shellfish allergies”

“An amazing meal, service appetizers, drinks! We had a girls night out and was very impressed with Johnny our server too! He made sure we all enjoyed our experience!”

“Outstanding Steakhouse Experience I recently had the pleasure of dining at Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse and Wine Bar and it was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we walked in, the warm ambiance and attentive service set the stage for a memorable evening. It was a very special birthday for me from when we arrived till we left 3 hours later and was absolutely my favorite dining experience ever! The highlight, of course, was the steak—perfectly cooked to order, with a beautiful sear on the outside and melt-in-your-mouth tenderness inside and so much flavor. The selection of cuts was impressive, and the quality of the meat was top-tier. Accompanying the steak, the sides were just as outstanding— my absolute favorite is the creamed spinach, was so good and I would get it again and again… The wine and cocktail list was well-curated, offering great pairings to enhance the meal. We had the best bubbly to start and cheers to my birthday, we had a delicious red wine to go with the steak,and a sweet dessert wine to end the meal. And for dessert, we had the chocolate molten cake, carrot cake, cheesecake and others so amazingly yummy and was the perfect sweet ending. If you’re looking for a top-tier steakhouse experience with impeccable service, a great atmosphere, and food that truly delivers, Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse in is a must-visit. Highly recommended!”

“The most fabulous pastries and cakes in RI . I used them for a baby shower and everyone raved about how beautiful and delicious everything was! I am always so satisfied with Whisk Me Away💕”

“Popped into this café this morning with my family and was pleasantly surprised at their selection of croissants available. Giant gourmet croissants. I had the pistachio croissant and the filling was absolutely delectable, very nice texture and not too sweet. My husband had the chocolate croissant and he said it was delicious. Our little one loved the matcha cookie. My favorite was their iced matcha with almond milk, very nice that they offered matcha! The owner was very kind and you can tell the staff really values their customers’ experience.”

“Excellent food and friendly service. The Khao Soi was fantastic and often hard to find.”

“Very cute place!
Gives a very good sense of a local experience.
A bit small but warm and inviting.

“The entire experience was PHENOMENAL! It was a welcoming environment with exceptional service. The Pho was some of the best I’ve had #Pho-nomenal”

“The coffee was off the day we went, but you can't beat the food options or the location.

Dietary restrictions: Diabetic options are a plenty.

Kid-friendliness: Not my first choice for a kid friendly spot. But everyone goes out of their way to be friendly and helpful.

Wheelchair accessibility: It is wheelchair accessible, however, it is a very small shop.”

“I go here quite often, and these bowls are some of the best açaí bowls I’ve ever had!! They’re super quick with their service whenever I go pick it up they’re like immediate with me. There’s no wait time or anything. It’s also super clean in there”

“Each dish bursts with vibrant flavors and is crafted with fresh, high-quality ingredients. I personally feel that every dish is made in a right way and tastes perfectly. I particularly recommend trying their Chicken pizza's and chicken over rice it's delicious and downright addictive!”

“I had a worse experience with this place today. I asked the server what they had for well-done meat, and she gave the option between sirloin or brisket, I closed sirloin. They put brisket in my to-go container. When I sat down to eat, I found out that they put brisket and not sirloin. I was not even able to swallow that meat because it was so hard! They gave me the worst experience, when I spoke to them, and requested to change it, the grill man held my plate hostage, so to speak, and removed the brisket, it took so long for them to replace it, and I left with no meat on the plate. Be aware if you ask for sirloin they will give brisket!”

“Great vibes, and selections of drinks. Staff are always friendly and their seasonal winter drinks are amazing. I love that they offer cozy seating which is a perfect break during shopping.”

“Best food ever! Tons of amazing vegetarian options. The tofu quesadilla is so good and the rice is exceptional! I love this place so much!”

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

“Great food Great guy Tony is the best Knows what people want Friendliest Staff in town”

“Thanks for making my vigil a totally disaster! I spent $177.00 on take out consisting of eel,smelts,stuffed squid and cold calamari salad. The smelts were “burned”, the stuffed squid was tough and once again way overly seasoned and again not eatable. The eel had no taste. I have been a customer there on many occasions (special ones too. ) , however you not only lost a client but I will make sure my other professionals, many were here, not ever rely on a good meal at the Old Canteen. Consider a better chef!”

“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.”

“Coldest beers in Rhode Island. Nice clean atmosphere good service friendly staff. Good music with a great DJ. Will definitely be returning soon”

“The service was excellent along with the food!”

“Food was great and the deserts were amazing. Lots to choose from.”

“Dined here last night before PPAC, for that reason we made an early dinner reservation. I confirmed when calling they had valet parking. We arrived to find no valet attendant. After some back and forth with hostess and manager my husband was finally able to come inside for dinner, nearly 30 mins wasted. Our server AJ provided exemplarry service; she was personable and knew the menu like the back of her hand. We appreciated her service, and our dinners were all very good. As we departed we confirmed with the tardy valet attendant if we could leave the car and pick up after the show as we do with neighboring establishments and he said no because they would be closed by the time the show was over; this couldn’t have been further from the truth. The valet was rude, late, and it’s terribly unfortunate that the valet ruined what could have been a great dinner with friends.”

“Great food Great guy Tony is the best Knows what people want Friendliest Staff in town”

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!”

“A great spot!! We love the food and drink and the service is the best!!”

“Freakin’ awesome coffee & wraps! Stopped over in Providence for a night and this place was across the street and recommended by our host. We had the maple sea salt latte (1 iced, 1 hot with oat milk), breakfast wrap and chorizo & salsa verde wrap. Amazing flavors in everything and made our lazy morning perfect. We’ve already decided it’s our go to place whenever we’re anywhere near Providence. We may even take a detour! It was that good 😊”
