YOu need to keep to providence? If you have a car, going down to Bristol is well worth it, especially when the weather is nice.Going to Providence for a couple of days in April. Any suggestions for a seafood restaurant (w/ great oysters) and Italian restaurant? Staying at the Marriot.
Gracias.
Expanding a little on Hemenway's, if you're an oyster guy, they usually have at least 4 different varieties. The wait staff is very well trained in knowing the details about them. They also have a lobster tank. The crab-stuffed lobster is to die for. Appetizer-wise, try the ceviche. Very good. WRT fish, they usually have at least 6 on the daily menu, each can be prepared baked, grilled, pan-seared, blackened, etc. And there are always daily specials and the chef specialties. If you like things a bit spicy, try the chili-glazed cauliflower as a side. The roasted asparagus is very good, too.As Otto'd said above, definitely Hemenway's for seafood (oyster bar too).
You'll pay a lot, but you won't get a better meal in Providence (and many other places). I love it there. Top notch.
Italian? We like Capriccio.
I had the best chicken wings I have ever had in Providence. A wood fire pizza place right downtown. Chargrilled with Rosemary, oil and sea saltGoing to Providence for a couple of days in April.

I love Providence. It punches WAY above it's weight class in terms of it's restaurant scene.
