Baked stuffed shrimp with a baked potato! Yummmm.
Shawn W.

Ok...why isn't this place five stars? It's a really big, old school restaurant with classic dishes and a huge bar! This should be a go to place for drinks locally. Love the wooden bar and the comfy bar seats. I got a salad with my baked stuffed shrimp (classic recipe done perfectly)! They were super friendly at the bar and made me feel comfortable (I'm from Boston). So, I say let's review the hell out of this place and get them the five stars they deserve. Great food, nice service, and a price you can't find anywhere else. Come try it!

Stuffed Mushrooms
Lucy C.

I have mixed reviews on this place. I had the sausage ravioli and I loved it. 1 friend had chicken gorgonzola she also enjoyed. 2nd friend had turkey dinner she only consumed Spinach off her plate did not like at all. 3rd friend had chicken stir fry said was ok but sauce was too sweet. The Drinks were top notch. The stuffed mushrooms were good but could have used a little seasoning. The service was great. The vibe is old school.

Buffalo

RI Food Fight- Lord of the Pies 2024 review: I remember liking Cowesett Inn years ago. But it's been years... 1. Cute little market inside but here is the odd thing- they are selling 3 different types of wing sauces in the market but they only have buffalo on the menu! Also, the one sauce I picked up expires in 3 weeks! (She sold it to me for half off!) 2. The wings were cooked well done as requested and were tasty. The blue cheese isn't the best but it also isn't the worst! 3. The pizza. It was gross. It wasn't hot (and we had just ordered it- we weren't late.) The cheese was all stuck together like left out for a very long time. The sauce was chunky. I didn't finish my slice.

Tiramisu martini
Jenny C.

I'm going to go five star because I think the negative reviews need to be balanced out. In terms of first impressions, it did sort of remind me of Gregg's with better lighting - some historical touches, fireplaces, a lot of wood paneling, very 70s vibe. The menu had pretty much anything you could want, from burgers to pizza to chicken parm to "heart healthy" options to steak. Usually when I see a menu that extensive, the quality of the food is...well, chain quality. Fine but eh. In my experience, however, everything we had was incredibly delicious and homemade. Some highlights: Tiramisu martini - one of 10 martini options, this was is truly desert in a glass. Made with rumchata. Absolutely loved it, and it's a hefty portion. Pierogi - these are made from scratch by Polish women who visit the restaurant a few times a week. They are hand pressed, totally made with love. Hands down the best pierogi I've ever had. Sausage ravioli - I think my hopes were pretty average for how it would taste, and I was surprised. It was REALLY good, as good as any place on federal hill. My friend ordered the ribeye and she said it was perfectly cooked. The sides they offer were very generously portioned. Dessert - I've never had grapenut pudding before, and I was told it's a RI right of passage, so we ordered it. It was okay...I don't really have a reference point. But the cheesecake! One of the best cheesecakes I've had in a while. It came with strawberry topping and honestly, it would have been better without. So velvety and decadent. Also, if you're looking for a space to host a part of 10-20, there's not a lot of good options in my opinion. This place can totally accommodate larger parties. Our server did an amazing job, too. Personable and helpful with great suggestions. I'd recommend it!

Chicken Parm sandwich

The service staff was very polite, friendly and talkative. The food was great. The kids wanted Mac and cheese and it was really delicious. They ate it all up and it wasn't blue box! Appetizer was excellent. I myself had the ranchero burger medium rare(which they cooked perfectly). The atmosphere was dim, cozy and not to loud like most restaurants. Will definitely be coming back to try other offerings. Oh yeah! Try the New Old Fashioned cocktail.

I haven't been here in YEARS and probably came for a party or something back then. Anyway, we returned to use our Food Fights deal and nosh on some burgers. We started with calamari and a spicy stuffie. Both were good although I'm still in search of *really* good calamari that I haven't found yet. I had the Ranchero Burger which was a high noon showdown of flavors on a pillowy bun. The ranchero sauce was a spicy, tangy marvel that tied the whole burger together with just the right amount of kick. The jalapeño peppers bring a little fiery burst of flavor that'll make you sit up and take notice. They're spicy enough to keep things interesting without overpowering the burger, striking a perfect balance between heat and flavor. I may not return for several more years so I hope the Cowesett Inn is still around when I do.

NY Sirloin A la Mama

I went in and sat at the bar for a treat myself dinner. I wanted to have leftovers but the food was so good I couldn't stop eating. I got the steak a La mama - and the steak was excellent - but the best part was the spinach. I devoured it. Katie - my server - was a great bartender. She got my drinks so fast and with such a fun vibe and attitude; she made some mixed up drink on the spot and it was so tastyyyy. I honestly ran in while I waited for my son to get out of a movie and didn't know if I'd be rushed - but they were so quick I had so much time. I am looking forward to the leftover bit of steak I still have. Definitely will go again - and hope I can catch Katie again! I like that she seemed to know her regulars well - makes you want to be one!

Grilled Pepperoni Pizza

Came here for #rifoodfights #bestpizza. Pizza was good. Flatbread crust. Service was decent for not being busy. Place is good, reason it has been here for long time.

Calamari
Niki N.

My favorite spot here in Rhode Island! Been coming here for years as we have family who lives in Coventry. The best baked stuffed jumbo shrimp all over town! Great layout here with lots of space for big parties and special events! Staff is very sweet and all are wearing masks. The area by the windows has great natural lighting, great views! We ordered the calamari, baked stuffed shrimp, and a Caesar Salad. The calamari had an amazing flavor and great spice to it. Also comes with hot peppers throughout the dish, so good! We always come here for the baked stuffed jumbo shrimp, and every time we are not disappointed! Love how flavorful these are. This dish in general can sometimes get very buttery and heavy, but never this dish when we order it. Light and holds up well! Butter on the side for dipping if you want that rich buttery flavor (honestly doesn't need it though!) Always my request to dine here whenever I am in town and looking forward to my next visit!

An incredible, intimate location with authentic Italian eats. The calamari was tender and had good…read morepieces of tentacles, great dipping sauce, and the Caesar salad was perfect size to split. For entrees the wife and I had the cacio e pepe with crumbled sausage, which had a nice little kick to it and seasoned just right.

I really wanted to like this place, especially given all the great reviews, but after two chances,…read moreI don't see myself coming back. We visited on a Friday night. We arrived early, before the restaurant got busy, and sat at the bar. What immediately struck us was how long we sat there without even being acknowledged. The bartender and other staff weren't particularly busy, yet it was probably close to 10 minutes before we even received a greeting. It was awkward and honestly a little strange. We stayed, ordered drinks, appetizers, and fairly expensive entrées. The food was mixed--my partner really enjoyed everything she had, while I wasn't particularly impressed with mine. But the bigger issue was the service. By the time we left, the restaurant was packed, so they're clearly doing something right, but given the price point and our experience, I didn't feel much desire to return. That said, I pass by frequently and kept seeing so many positive reviews that I started wondering if we'd simply caught them on an off night. So we decided to give them another chance. Unfortunately, the second visit was somehow even stranger. We came in around 4 PM on a Thursday. The restaurant was practically empty--maybe one or two tables and two people sitting at the bar. We sat down at the bar and, once again, it was as though we were invisible. No greeting, no acknowledgment. The bartender and staff were chatting with the other two people at the bar, who may have been regulars or people they knew, while we just sat there waiting. Eventually, we ordered two drinks and an appetizer, and everything took an unusually long time considering how empty the restaurant was. Throughout the entire visit, getting anyone's attention felt like a chore. The best way I can describe the experience is that it felt like we'd walked into someone's private club and weren't members. It was uncomfortable and awkward, and I've honestly never experienced anything quite like it at a restaurant. We planned to stay for dinner and order more drinks, but after nearly an hour of feeling ignored and unwelcome, we decided we'd had enough. We left and went to AVVIO in Garden City, where the experience was literally night and day. I can overlook an off night, which is exactly why we came back a second time. But having essentially the same service experience twice, on two different days and while the restaurant wasn't busy, is hard to overlook. Both times, I left feeling like our business wasn't particularly appreciated and that asking for service was somehow bothering the staff. At this price point, guests shouldn't feel that way. Unfortunately, twice was enough for us. We won't be back.

This is my new go to spot. Went a few years ago kinda forgot about it then went back a few weeks…read moreago and am kicking myself for not returning sooner. The wife got the fish and chips, I got eggplant parm, we split a French onion soup. Everything was perfect. My wife is a tough food critic but she said it was the best French onion soup she's ever had and the fish and chips were amazing. Eggplant is a 10/10. Large portions too. Staff is very nice and service is great. Going back tonight!

They were good reviews so we decided to give the place a shot. One of the worst dining experiences…read moreI've had in a long time. We were there right at 4 o'clock one of the first to enter. Bartender seating people had a terrible attitude. Talked to patrons like they were children. Ordered a lemon meringue martini. Thought it tasted an awful lot like pineapple. Bartender asked me if it was "ok". I just said yes because I didn't feel like complaining. Afterwards, I heard her telling somebody at the bar that she forgot to put lemon in it. She forgot to put lemon in the lemon meringue martini. Must be why it tasted like pineapple. We ordered stuffy's, which took forever to come out as we watch everybody else that came after us get their appetizers. Probably waited a half hour to even put our order and we had to repeatedly ask staff for everything because nobody would come over to the table. I got fish and chips. My husband got a veal Parm sandwich. The food was good, but the tartar sauce tasted oddly like nutmeg or cinnamon. Sat waited and waited and waited. Finally asked for our bill only to get someone else's bill and have to go back up to ask for our bill. I guess the locals must like this place but we did not... definitely a one and done for us.

Additionally, they are also very accommodating towards allergies and gluten sensitivities. My husband loves a great chicken parm and veal parm, but since going gluten-free has had a real hard time finding a decent one. Luckily, this restaurant has nailed the perfect recipe! We also enjoy their Caesar salad. The croutons are tiny yet tasty, and the crisp Romain lettuce and fresh Parmesan cheese along with the zesty Caesar dressing deliver an incredible combination of delightful flavor and crisp texture in every bite. I have eaten several dishes here but my favorites are their Chicken Francese and lemon chicken risotto. My husband also loves their Chicken Christine, If you enjoy getting to know the staff at a restaurant, then sit at the bar and meet Ava. Not only does she make a great dirty martini but she is also well-versed with the menu and clearly takes pride in serving her customers. She is the face of Pat's Italian for us, and we absolutely adore her. Although the acoustics are a bit loud, it is easy to have a conversation with those at your table. If anything, it helps create a lively atmosphere.

We took a look inside as we were anxious to see the renovations and the entire restaurant was stunning. Our hostess was happy to seat us at any location on the patio and we selected our favorite table. We were then greeted by our waitstaff person, Gabriela, who was nothing but spectacular in every way throughout the night. She was so helpful and specific in describing certain entrees and was patient in taking our order and knew exactly how we desired our meal, time-wise. Our first course was the always delicious Wedge salad with blue cheese dressing. My husband ordered a special entree for the evening, the Tortellini Gorgonzola which he loved. I was also very pleased with a new chicken entree added recently to the menu, Chicken Basilicata, a scallopine chicken breast pan-sautéed with sweet Italian sausage, scrumptious artichoke hearts, and mushrooms, all finished in a rich chicken demi-glace sauce.
