Top 5 Specialty Food in Rhode Island

71 Bradford St, Providence, RI 02903, United States

“Outstanding in every way. From the valet, to the host, to the wait staff, our waiter, and food. Each pasta dish we had was perfect from the Bolognese to Gnocchi with Vodka (like pillows of pasta). Meatball was primo. Ordered a chicken parm and pasta dish to go for family which they raved about. The squash flowers app was a special and they were great. Caesar salad was very good. 10/10. Plan to go back again soon.”

“I came here by recommendation from my friend. This was THE best ramen I have ever eaten. I genuinely don’t have enough good things to say about this place. The vibe was immaculate- perfect for a date night. For tapas, got the garlic chili edamame which were literally so delicious and garlicky, and the crispy chicken skins which were INSANELY good- I could’ve drank the sauce. But I’m not kidding when I say this is the best bowl of ramen I’ve ever eaten. We got the miso ramen & the tan tan men and I couldn’t decide which was my favorite.My husband spent four years in Japan and said it reminded him of his favorite place to go and made him nostalgic. We literally have not stopped talking about how absolutely delicious our meal was. Absolutely incredible, I can’t wait to be back regularly!”

“Lovely, every bite carefully curated. My highlights were the sauce in the clam and shrimp linguine and the roast duck was so tasty with a ginger foam and pickled side. Filet was large and cooked perfectly. The signature drinks were well crafted. The creme brulee ( although, to order it is a bit pedestrian) was the best I have ever had. At our table everyone was pleased and delighted by all the offerings; including clams casino, salmon tartar, arugula salad, tomato soup, tenderloin risotto and cappuccinos. A lovely night.”

“Went here specifically for the shawarma. I have to say it did not disappoint! It was so full of flavor with a little kick too! The meat is so fresh. You can see the chicken spinning and being heated by the fire. The staff is so friendly and they are really fast. Definitely will be coming back when in the area!”

239 Dyer St, Providence, RI 02903, United States

“First time in Providence and this was our first stop & it lived up to the hype. Even the locals all highly recommended and we truly enjoyed a fresh lobster roll and amazing fish sandwich! Son had the hot dog and he usually doesn't like anything on it but he loved the chutney like relish that came with it and the garlic mayo. We really enjoyed the casual setting of sitting on picnic tables in the middle of the city.”

“Incredible Syrian restaurant with excellent small bites and teas. Kebabs and hummus were phenomenal. Highly recommend for an afternoon.”

“An absolutely delicious dining experience, anyone would enjoy this food - you don’t have to be vegan! Highly recommend. The lunch special is an amazing deal.”

1316 Bald Hill Rd, Warwick, RI 02886, United States

“Great atmosphere, a ton of space inside and out. They have a bunch of brewed coffee tap style. They have everything you can think of including smoothies, smoothie bowls, alcohol and TVs. Prices are more than reasonable and their Large iced coffee is 30/32 oz. Unfortunately the flavors we got missed the mark a little but were still good. I would absolutely try them again!!”

99 Hope St, Providence, RI 02906, United States

“Really enjoyed getting a lot of plates here and sharing family style. They have a lot of servers here who are always around and working. Replacing our silverware and share plates for each course. Refilling waters. Asking if we would like another glass of wine. Very attentive. Things were brought out as separate courses, one at a time so I’d say you could spend a long time in here if you wanted. We were there from about 5:30-8pm. Good presentation. It seems like they change the menu often. The menu had the full date on it which makes me assume it is changed every single night. I enjoyed foods I wouldn’t normally like. A very fun experience. I’ve heard about this place for so many years and it was my first time here. It was a bit more casual atmosphere than I expected but they did fine dining well. Cute plating. They had really nice wine glasses and stuff. I liked that all the waitstaff seemed to know a lot about everything. No one ever said “I don’t know” It seemed to get really full around 6:30 on a weekday; so I would say reservations are recommended. In total we spent about 500 for Four with drinks and multiple courses. I would definitely visit again.”

“Just had dinner there and we were seated in the most cramped both you could possibly imagine. And my order was wrong but it seemed like the waitress had no care for any of it- she was just there for her job and pay. Those booths in the back corner room are the worst and it definitely needs to be changed because normal size people can’t fit there. Waited for food for over an hour for it to be wrong. God knows how long it would’ve taken to get the correct food.”

“I loved dining at Bacaro! The Cioppino was really good, but honestly the shrimp tasted a little fishy and I wish there had been a couple more scallops in it. I really liked the mussels, squash blossoms, and bruschetta. The Bellini was just alright. But overall, this was a fabulous meal with great service and a relaxing atmosphere! I would highly recommend for an upscale meal.”

“Best Bagels so far on our Bagel journey. Perfect size and taste. The egg and cheese sandwich with egg bagel was scrumptious. The staff was extremely friendly. Bonus points for great atmosphere, free shot of cold brew nitro with order and homemade pop tarts 💕 …”

“As an Asian person (Chinese), the food was ok. I thought it would just be the sushi (Eel avocado, Shrimp Tempora, and Golden Apple Roll - which I was really excited about the mix of flavors but the cooked salmon's fishiness combated the Apple and cool flavors. Rice was warm for all the sushi.) and other Asian food (Wonton soup was just ok and even the edamame didn't open as easily as normally), so we decided to still get dessert since it was mostly Italian and American dessert options. I started dying when my husband took the spoon to crack the top of the espresso creme brulee and it was soft. The glass was initially hot because of the torching, but clearly it didn't work. The flavor was still yummy, though I think the scoops at the bottom still had protective icing from the refrigerator 😂 Service was good. Everyone was friendly and timely.”

“I have been going to island deli since their old location. Their Cuban is my favorite sandwich. Everytime I go there Mike and the other chefs always come up with something new and delicious. I always will send friends and family if they are looking for a good deli. Atmosphere is always inviting and welcomed and even if I'm waiting they always engage in conversation and make you feel like a valued customer. Only thing I'll say is I would like that french dip to come back that was my favorite whenever Mike made it! Glad to have this deli in our community!”

“My recent visit to Feed the Cheeks was an absolute delight! As a self-proclaimed cookie enthusiast, I’m always on the lookout for exceptional treats, and this place truly delivered. I had the pleasure of trying two of their offerings – the S’mores cookie and the Classic Chocolate Chip cookie – and both left an indelible mark on my taste buds. The S’mores cookie was a nostalgic journey with each bite. The gooey marshmallow, the rich chocolate, and the perfectly baked cookie base created a harmonious symphony of flavors that transported me back to cozy campfires and cherished moments. It managed to capture the essence of a beloved childhood treat while elevating it to gourmet levels. On the other hand, the Classic Chocolate Chip cookie was a testament to the timeless appeal of simplicity done right. The balance between buttery dough and generously scattered chocolate chips was impeccable. It was that classic combination that brings comfort and joy, making it a cookie I could happily indulge in any time. Feed the Cheeks has clearly mastered the art of cookie-making, infusing creativity and quality into every bite. The atmosphere of the place, combined with the aroma of fresh-baked cookies, added to the overall experience. The friendly staff and inviting ambiance only heightened my enjoyment. It’s evident that they take pride in their craft and are genuinely dedicated to making each customer’s visit memorable. As someone who has sampled cookies from various places, I can confidently say that Feed the Cheeks is a gem in the world of sweet treats. Their commitment to quality and their passion for crafting exceptional cookies make it a must-visit destination for cookie aficionados like me. Thank you, Feed the Cheeks, for providing an extraordinary cookie experience that I won’t soon forget. I can’t wait to return and explore more of your delectable creations!”

“Food was amazing. The Melisandre cocktail was perfect. They have an outdoor seating area and an outdoor bar as well! We will be back for more!”

“Great experience at Tori Tomo. Got seated fairly quickly despite busy lunch time. The server was a bit rushed but warmed up to us as we ate. Food was delicious: best plate of fresh and warm Edamame ever with garlic and spice, and also one of the best broth for a bowl of Ramen. They even divided it equally in two bowls for us (much appreciated), we also ordered a takeout box and it came well packed. Tables are a bit close to each other..but who cares when the food is so yummy!! 😃”

“My friends and I were up there for a Porch Fest and we went in to check the place out and grab a drink. We needed to use the bathroom first and they gave us the evil eye. The manager was really rude. Inside is dated, unattractive, and no bar area, so we had drinks outside. My friend decided to get food. Some of our other friends joined us. We moved two outdoor tables together, to accommodate 7 of us. The manager came out and said we can’t do that. My friends all ordered food and seemed to like it. I just ordered Prosecco, which was a good choice. Small portions didn’t impress me. The waitress made a mistake and and gave my friend regular fries with her sandwich, we had clearly asked for sweet potato. She came out with a plate and scraped the wrong fries off my friends plate with her other food on it, and brought out a separate plate with the sweet potato fries. Honestly, ANY good restaurant would’ve left the other fries. I’ll never go there again. Way too many great restaurants in the area to waste my money there.”

“I love that so many products are available in returnable glass bottles! Many grocery items available besides dairy. Always fresh. I just wish they had an every other week option for those of us with smaller households.”

“Quiet, nice place to dine in. I had the best biryani ever. Owner is friendly and hearty, so are the staff. Beside all of that, the food are amazing with reasonable price. You don’t be disappointed. The best Indian/some Nepali cuisine on the town.”
