The food was excellent, and the service was great--until about 90 minutes in, when the hostess approached and asked us to leave, saying they "needed the table." We had just paid the check so we gathered our things and headed out. On the way, we noticed several other four-top tables open, which made the request feel a bit odd. Out of curiosity, I even checked reservations for the rest of the night and saw that there was still availability for parties of four. I truly enjoyed the food and would return, but the way this situation was handled definitely left a bad impression. read more

From the wait staff to the ambiance to the food and cocktails EVERYTHING was EXCELLENT. I have been there many times and have NEVER been disappointed. I highly recommend this establishment. Absolutely wonderful. read more

Unfortunately, I can no longer recommend this restaurant. It quickly became a favorite after a few great experiences during the December-February timeframe, however things have downhill for me ever since. The once friendly and fun atmosphere has changed, and I no longer feel welcome here because of the hostess/manager Rhonda. I would spend $300+ every time I came here, so the one positive is that I'm saving a lot of money going elsewhere now. read more

Atmosphere was good. Service was good. Overall the food was just ok. Was not very hot. One of the people had grilled chicken on their penne ala vodka. Chicken was very dry. I had a salmon special. Had good taste just not very hot. Food was borderline cold. Had been wanting to try the spot for a while. Very disappointed. Most likely will not return. read more

I love Crudo every time! Love the decor and the quaintness of this little spot! Service is friendly and attentive! I usually get the specials but went for one of my menu faves - the Halibut! Yummy! Pan seared and crisp - delicious!! The drinks - also part of the thing I love about Crudo! Especially the pineapple cosmo!! It's perfect!!! read more

Crudo Smithfield - Oysters are so delicious - Seafood Near Me - Smithfield, Rhode Island

We went for brunch for my daughters birthday. We had a reservation for Sunday at 10 am. There was no one in the place! The dining room has an upscale look and our server was very attentive. My husband and I ordered Bloody Marias. The flavor of the mix was delicious, not too spicy, which was good for me. My husband chose the ghost tequila in his, but it tasted just like mine. My daughter had the iced cafe grande which she loved. For appetizers I chose the oysters, which were so fresh and the highlight for me. The rest of the family shared the bacon wrapped scallops and the Crudo Stuffies. The scallops were a hit, the stuffies were just okay. The texture inside was a bit mushy. For our main course, my daughter ordered the lemon ricotta pancakes, which were the family favorite. My daughter in law ordered the Portuguese Sweetbread brown sugar brûlée french toast. It was tasty but soggy. We assume with Brûlée it would be crisp. The portion was huge. My son had the eggs in purgatory which was good and my husband had the blueberry pancakes which he called ordinary. I ordered the house hash and eggs. The bottoms of the eggs were crispy, the hash was tasty and the home fries are simply salty roasted potatoes, no onions, peppers or other seasoning. The food was good, but it was not amazing. After looking at the menu and reviews, maybe we set our expectations too high. read more

Visited Crudo's tonight and it was great. We have been here several times and it is always good The food tonight was great - piping hot and good presentation. I tried the clam cakes and chowder and it didn't disappoint! But what warranted the 5 star review tonight was the service! From the welcoming greeting by Rhonda who helped us to be comfortable while we waited for a seat at the bar and then guided us to a comfortable seat!. Her attentiveness and care was much appreciated. This was followed by the exceptional service at the bar provided by Rachel. She is truly first rate. She is accommodating, professional and perceptive, she manages the bar area with the many demands, flawlessly and with grace!! This was our first time sitting at the bar area but I might now become a regular read more

Delicious Food Nice addition to the area. Solid food and desserts. Sharp but not pretentious interior, nice bar, and great service. We had a spree of apps, crab cocktail, shrimp, calamari, and the beet salad. All delicious. Our server was very attentive and friendly making the experience more enjoyable. Good date spot or couples grabbing apps and drinks. We've been back. Thanks read more

Probably one of the best bone in veal Parmesans I have ever had. Fork tender super crispy on the outside breading along with a super fresh sweet tomato sauce and cheese. Pasta is very high quality as it has that texture much like when you make it from scratch. The meatball appetizer was delicious and had great flavor was served in the same sweet fresh tomato sauce . The burger was incredible as well. I shared with the people I was with so we could all try multiple items. Limited Italian menu but everything we had was amazing. Extensive fish and raw bar but that isn't my thing. Overall great place attentive service clean. Highly recommend. read more

Cozy little Italian and seafood spot right off 295. Been wanting to try this since it changed over from Parma. Since I knew it was smaller I made a res on Yelp but we were really early for dinner (3:30) so it probably wasn't needed but I'd imagine it's a must during the busy times. We were immediately greeted with a smile and seated. Waiter was perfectly attentive and super knowledgeable. Nice drink menu but not a ton of beer selections if that's your thing. I had a maple old fashioned and it was pretty good. Not too much maple and just the right size. They have a nice mocktail menu too. The food was decent but probably not what got this place a 4.7 on Yelp. The crab cakes were fresh and the flavor was good but it could have used just a hint of crisp on the outside for texture. The chicken parm was sizable and the sauce was tasty but the breading didn't adhere to the chicken. The statler chicken was tender but took 45 mins to come out of the kitchen (which is fine so long as the wait staff warns you about that ahead of time). Overall, it was a good dining experience and I look forward to going back again soon. read more

Our sever was great and the food was amazing. Unfortunately, we were asked to leave as soon as the bill was brought to the table. I found it quite rude. The young hostess was apologetic and explained, "I'm sorry but we need your table". We had been asked about dessert and declined...the check was brought to the table...and the hostess immediately came over to ask us to leave. We were there for exactly 1.5 hours and also noticed there were almost 10 tables open...including the table next to us being empty for our entire dinner experience. We all felt rushed and upset that the end of a perfectly good meal we were kicked out. We will not return. read more

The food was amazing. However, I have to give three stars because the service was extremely slow.

On my way home from Scarborough Beach in RI, I made a pit stop at Crudo in Smithfield. This spot has been on my radar for a while, and I'm glad I finally got to try it. They serve weekend brunch until 3 pm, which is perfect for a late-morning meal. I started with oysters and a dill bloody mary made with their in-house dill vodka - one of the best I've ever had! For my main course, I opted for the chimichurri steak and eggs, paired with a side of cornbread. Tom provided excellent service from behind the bar. I'm already looking forward to my next visit to try more dishes! read more

Me and my girl friend live this place staff is always so nice and helpful. Food is absolutely amazing!!!!

Nothing but positive things to say about this restaurant. We met some friends here this weekend who said they really enjoyed their first experience here a few weeks ago. Outside of the casual decor, everything here was excellent. There's not that much seating and it gets crowded pretty quick. When it is crowded, it can be a bit noisy, but this white tablecloth dining was absolutely fabulous. There's a very good selection of entrées, appetizers, drinks, and desserts. You should easily find something you like. For an appetizer, we went with the beet salad. Very good. Beets were fresh and tasted great. Two of us decided to go with one of the nightly specials. There were three to choose from. We selected the pork chops. Awesome! Perfectly cooked, good sized pork chop, sitting on a bed of asparagus risotto. Carrots and peppers rested on top. Everything sits in a maple gravy.... terrific. My girlfriend chose the eggplant parmesan. That included ricotta cheese and a side of pasta. She loved it. They do take reservations, but be advised you might be on a time watch. read more

Crudo Smithfield - Maple Glazed Double Cut Pork Chop Dinner - Seafood Near Me - Smithfield, Rhode Island

Been at Crudo the past couple Saturdays. Sat at bar around 4ish. By 5:30 the place is packed!! Had Tom as a bartender and Ronnie as his Barback/assistant. Amazing service, no matter how busy these boys were, they made ya feel like they had all the time in the world for you. The food.... AWESOME! Buck a shuck from 2-5 was great. Had a little raw bar, some wine, a couple entrees and some espresso martinis to end the experience. Everything was amazing. Tom is an absolute rock star behind the bar, and Ronnie is a great Barback and has all the makings of being a future bartender who will rock it!!! The bar scene and the banter with tom and Ronnie made the night. Can't wait to head back!! read more

All the dishes coming out looked incredible can't wait to go back ! read more

Familiar space with a new face! We used to frequent this spot weekly, years ago for our after work shenanigans under a different name so when we saw it was a new spot (yet again), we put it on our list for next girls night out and it did NOT disappoint! The place was completely redone from what we used to know as La Cucina and wow, what an upgrade! Place is chic , sleek and trendy. Parking spots in the front lot as well as back with stairs that will lead you to the front door. We found 2 seats at the bar and made ourselves at home. Elizabeth was our fabulous bartender - she was hustling and making sure all the patrons were happily served. We both had sangrias and started off with the stuffed mushrooms and calamari special. Holy mushrooms - these were prob some of the best stuffed mushrooms I'd ever had, they were scrumptious, perfectly seasoned and had the most delicious red wine demi glace sauce. Calamari was good, don't get me wrong but oh those mushrooms! I got the halibut and my gf got the short ribs - both were excellent! Those crispy fingerling potatoes - mm mmm chef's kiss! It was a little loud but we sat at the bar so that was to be expected - but overall a wonderful experience! We would've stayed longer but like most places during the week, they only stay open til 830-9pm. They didn't rush us at all, we left around 9:10. If we both still worked in the area, I could see this being our after work hot spot. Def will be back! read more

My wife and I have been to Crudo several times. Always perfect food and exceptional service. Until our last visit. We sat at a high top table near the bar. Awesome. Waiter ended up being the bartender with assistance from a very green employee. Our 2 appetizers, Stuffiies and shrimp cocktail were still on the table when our entree's arrived. It was very rushed service. Couldn't get the young employees attention for small things like more water, and another drink. He tried taking away the shrimp cocktail with a shrimp still untouched. When the waiter/: bartender finally stopped by again he tried taking the shrimp also. It was kind of funny but we felt very rushed. I had the Veal Parmesan. Huge. Awesome as usual. I ordered Angel hair and got a huge plate of mushy over cooked pasta. Big demerit.I only eat half of the Veal ,it's so big.The new guy took the leftover veal, with the big bone still attached, and when he returned the boxed up veal , he had cut the bone off and it wasn't in the box. Didn't see that right away, but thats a huge bone with a bunch of meat still on it. So no one was supervising this kid. No proper server would ever do that. I didn't say anything because it was already in the garbage, so what good would it do. So overall rushed, unprofessional service. Mushy angel hair and I got shorted on mybveal. For the price we pay, everything ought to be perfect. Has been every other time. Not so last night. Still love the place. read more

Great owner operated restaurant. I had wanted to check this place out for sometime & I'm so happy I chose to celebrate my BIRTHDAY here! The service & attention we received was fantastic. Our dishes were delicious, inventive, well made & delivered in a timely manner. And this was such a great place to CELEBRATE! I, & my girlfriends, were made to feel very special! The owner (Jeff) was so generous to even send a variety of desserts to our table as a way to thank us for choosing his establishment as the place to come together & honor my day. Highly recommend! Plus they also have live music over the weekends. This place is the best of a lot of worlds - local, upscale, friendly, boasting delicious offerings (food & drink), & casual enough for you to be comfortable to come as you are. Eager to return! read more

I thought it was going to be different. Nice atmosphere, great service, but the food was ok. Why do all our food come out so fast and then all at once? We barely had time to enjoy our wine and the salad and our food came out all together. We were in and out in under 40 minutes read more

Been here several times in the past but not sure I will be returning anytime soon, and its not because of the food, which was as usual outstanding. We went immediately they opened at 4PM. They appeared to be setting up for the busy weekend which is understandable. Its inexcusable when this leads to service being slower than you would expect and things being missed, such as no oil or butter with the bread. Shouldnt they have been setup at opening time and be 100% ready to go ?? The final decider was the place filled up with a clientele that had those horrible high pitched squeaky voices. Being in my 70th year thats the kind of place I avoid like the clap. Its never been like that during our past visits. Maybe I'm just too old for places like this. read more

This restaurant is a flip from the former Parma. Surprisingly enough, the quality of the food is exceptional. The whole new design, wow. Awesome up beat venue. Unfortunately, loud. Facility adjustments are needed. Definitely great older crowd. Bring the music down a notch. Be able to have a good conversation without raising your voice. The service was exceptional. Food was fresh. The wait time was worth it. Prices reasonable. Amnesties clean. I'll be back! read more

If you love seafood you have to stop in and try Crudo! The decor is very nice and welcoming. I have been several times and never been disappointed! The oysters are always fresh, their specials are great and so are their cocktails. I'm not sure which dish is my favorite. I recently had their scallops and they were cooked perfectly. The service is wonderful, it's very common to get a visit at the table from one of the owners who are super friendly! read more

Facts, the food was, ok. Wife had steak tips meal and I had a gluten free octopus meal. Her's was good, mine was, let's say chewy very hard. Not so good but I ate it as I was hungry. Tom was good and on point (per server training) but neither n him or Ella were very authentic. All said and done...not worth $150+ . I'd pass coming here the next time. Neither servers were .... convincing . Not worth it. read more

Really stretched on the 4 stars because of entrees. The good: Service was excellent! Karl was great. Drinks were really good, pineapple cosmo was perfect. Crab cakes and octopus were absolutely delish. Really looked forward to the entrees based on the apps served to us but they were just ok. Nothing wowed but all in all , a good experience. Maybe it was just our choices. Will def give another try another time. read more

I went to dinner a few nights ago, I've heard great things about the establishment so I was excited to try. The server/ busser young red haired girl came over and poured my boyfriend's water then walked away without pouring mine. After we had our appetizer ( meatballs ) which weren't that good the same girl came back and put out new silverware and she put mine in the plate which had oil in it from my bread. I'm not sure if the girl is new but she definitely needs better training. My bolognese want too great either however my boyfriend liked his pork chop read more
