I had an outstanding birthday dinner at Foglia on Friday with my parents. The fresh pasta made in-house is incredible and everything on the menu is vegan and delicious, even to my somewhat picky omnivore dining partners :). Everyone who works there is friendly and inviting, and even gave us a cute little amuse to start the night and the buckwheat shortbread to end. Here's everything we ordered: Agnolotti stuffed with tofu ricotta, with English peas, bacon, and a savory broth (my entree, I loved this - the broth was quite salty but the peas added a lovely freshness) Fazzoletti e funghi: local blue oyster mushrooms in a white wine cream sauce ‍ (my Mom's entree, also delicious and so umami) "Ivy rose" mocktail with grapefruit, prickly pear, and limeade (delightful!) Appetizers: fried squash blossoms stuffed with tofu ricotta in pomodoro sauce, and housemade focaccia with a trio of whipped butters (thyme and shallot, Calabrian chili, and smoked sweet onion). The ratio of butter to focaccia was more than double what we could use (we ordered more focaccia to spread it on!) but both of these apps were perfect. Foglia burger: house burger patty, tomato jam, garlic aioli, lettuce, onions, pickles, onion ring, housemade focaccia, and spicy agave parsnip fries (my dad's entree and to my delight he really enjoyed it!) Dessert: a gigantic slice of tiramisu (my favorite cake!). This was a huge slab, enough to share and have some leftover for breakfast. A little on the dry side for tiramisu but still really nice. Foglia is such a gem and we had a great time in Bristol, it's a beautiful town. The restaurant is small and cozy but was not too busy when we went. I highly recommend Foglia for a special occasion! read more

A true hidden gem--one that deserves to stick around. We've been here a few times, but this was our first experience with the tasting menu (with wine pairing), and it really elevated everything. Advertised a 5 courses - we counted seven. The evening unfolded at a perfect pace over a relaxed two-plus hours, with attentive, knowledgeable service that never felt rushed. While we're not typically focused on vegetarian cuisine, every course was thoughtful, flavorful, and satisfying. The appetizer and pasta courses were standouts--creative, beautifully executed, and memorable. The wine pairings were spot-on and complemented each dish seamlessly. Restaurants like this only survive if diners seek them out and return--so whether it's your first visit or your fifth, it's well worth it. The chef/owner was nominated for a James Beard Award a few years ago, and the talent is evident in every course. Total with tip was about $370--very fair for the quality and experience. read more

I'm not Vegan but I am thoroughly impressed. Throw caution to the wind and go with the Tasting menu. You will not be disappointed. The presentation, flavors, and execution exceeded my expectations. Every dish was finely crafted and presented a variety of flavors that worked well together. Love the variety of fresh vegetables that were used and the unique craftsmanship in producing varying tastes. Service was fantastic and the choices of wine were spot on. What an enjoyable dining experience. read more

Some of the most unique, delicious, crafty vegan food I've ever had. This is high-class dining done extremely tastefully. I went for my birthday last year and was blown away by the food. The service was so friendly and it was a very intimate experience. It's a small spot so be sure to call ahead! read more

Owner is lovely, his mom is adorable, staff is great, ambiance is on point! Mushroom pasta, mushrooms were slimy, my mom is hard core vegan loves most mushrooms but not slimy. Little disappointing but homemade pasta was amazing. My fav was ricotta squash blossoms, my sister and friend loved the burger, lil pricey but expected perhaps for level of fine dining vegan. read more

We've been trying to get here since the place opened, and we are glad we finally tried them - now they're on our list of great sit down places, and they're occasion-worthy. We had no trouble getting a sidewalk reservation, and I could see the water from our table. Having outdoor seating is a big plus. Staff was the perfect level of attentive without being obtrusive. There are a lot of great options on the menu, and it's nice to be able to choose from any of them. I knew I wanted the lion's mane as soon as I saw that it was still available, and I did not regret that at all. It was excellent; different from any other time I had had this mushroom, and heavenly. The online menu and in-person paper one were slightly different, but it didn't bother us. My other half enjoyed the eggplant meatballs and the BBQ tempeh (which seemed made for him - he loves smoky flavors). The amuse bouche was much more delicious than it had any right to be, and we had never had whipped vegan feta before - we would have eaten this with a spoon. The little dessert meringue was perfect, too. It was a very special, yet efficient and comfortable, meal. We were left eager to return. I hope our next occasion finds the corn pasta dish still on the menu! Having lunch hours again would usually make it easier for us to get there. We will, no matter what! We thoroughly loved Foglia. read more

First time at Foglia, but not the last! Boy, don't you just love it when you visit a new city (hello, Bristol, RI) and stumble upon an amazing restaurant! Our day trip on Saturday was not filled with just bike riding, walking, and shopping. It was also filled with exploring a James Beard Foundation Semi-Finalist for Best Chef Northeast. So of course, I was super excited to check it out. Ambiance: We didn't have reservations but were seated at the small bar. I think it had roughly 9 comfy seats. The place is gorgeous, simple yet sophisticated. The restaurant is on the smaller side but that is okay since it makes for more of an intimate dining experience. And, it's also quiet and with nice background music. Hello, date night! Service: We were greeted by our bartender Dimitri who was very nice, and fun and offered a few menu suggestions since it was our first time here. Everyone seemed extremely knowledgeable and passionate about working there which is always nice to see. Food: They had a pretty decent Vegan/Vegetarian menu to choose from. Not overly intimidating like some restaurants and has a good mix of a lot of different options. From starters to entrees and then dessert, there was something for everyone. I started with a martini and then their Foglia Salad which was very simple yet fresh. They source from local farms and make their Foccacia in-house. I love it since I always want to support local and to me it also means "healthier" without a lot of pesticides, additives, etc. My husband got their bean dip which was on the larger side but it also was so good that we both finished it LOL. For entrees, I ordered their Fusilli Affumicati which had some eggplant in it. It was a bit overcooked but very delicate and light. My hubby had their Cacio e Pepe Spaghetti. This was my favorite. We finished with a Pumpkin Martini and Chocolate Mousse Cake. We were so full after. I needed a nap! Summary: Foglia is a one-of-a-kind restaurant experience. From the beautiful interior to the service and spectacular and innovative food, it is a must to dine here. Especially being able to see what a James Beard Semi-Finalist is up to in the kitchen. It was a pleasure meeting the Chef after our experience. He came out to say hello to some of his guests. He was so nice and humble. Foglia is Fantastic and I can't wait to go back and try their tasting menu. I highly recommend booking this for your next spot. It's worth the drive for sure! Cheers! read more

Absolutely amazing food. The fact that it's both vegan and 100% nut free is the first time I've been able to relax while eating and not worry about any of my allergies (eggs and almonds). Neither my husband nor I is vegan, and he was a little unsure of what to expect. His mind was blown. (I've been following them since they were Twelve Plants pop up and have always loved their food!) The menu items are so thoughtful and creative and delicious - like, seared roman artichoke hearts with black olive CARAMEL. Who thinks of that? I also love that they have mocktail options as my husband doesn't drink and I'm 8mo pregnant. The servers are all incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Fun fact: Foglia is leaf in Italian - and you'll notice a leaf motif if you look around! (Plus, obviously, a nod to the vegan lifestyle.) I wholeheartedly recommend! read more

Foglia is, without question, one of our favorite go to's. One of the most telling signs of its quality? Roughly 80% of the diners aren't vegan at all. They're here because the food is that good. The owner is also the chef, clearly the menu is created by someone who genuinely loves the craft and knows exactly how to surprise and delight. Whether you're vegan, plant-curious, or simply someone who appreciates good food, chill atmosphere without having to scream to hear your guests over a noisy, crowded room....this is your place. A true gem of a neighborhood feel in Bristol. read more

I have been longing to try this restaurant, Foglia, as I was interested in trying vegan options for a change. So I had the chef's tasting menu (heirloom tomato and cucumber, with a basil aïoli, and char focaccia ; seared zucchini, with an eggplant, purée, and vodka sauce, and pangrattato; cornmeal fried local oyster mushrooms with some sauerkraut; triangle pasta with white bean purée and a pepper sauce; and for dessert, a plum clafoutis with plum purée and plum whip!) the presentation was spectacular, every dish, colorful, and appetizing , and crafted with love! The wine pairing was perfectly balanced and did not disappoint! Everything was over the top, delicious!! Service was excellent and I can't wait to go back again! A hidden gem in Bristol! read more

The host and the waiter were both very friendly and quite attentive. The restaurant itself is small and cozy, perfect for a winter evening. As for the food, wow. The focaccia bread was outrageously delicious, dense and soft and very fragrant. The potato leek soup was outstanding, and the cauliflower dish was equally amazing. And I would be remiss if I did not specifically call out the bartender who made a couple of amazing cocktails. My wife and I are definitely coming back, top-notch experience. read more

A true Celebration of Spring at @fogliabristol featuring Perigord Truffles! Every dish absolutely delights, experimental and playful, yet so intentional, balanced and executed to perfection. - Amuse Bouche was a house made truffle foccacia crispy perfection with savory truffle butter - Beet Carpaccio was stunning, so fresh and bright sweetness of the beets and vinaigrette paired with tangy coconut yogurt. My husband's favorite. - Roasted Cauliflower soup is so velvety and beautifully seasoned. One of my father in laws favorites. - Spinach and Artichoke dip with naan was so decadent and savory. - Trangoli was one of my favorites, every pasta dish from Foglia is Hope to take a pasta class with Chef Pete and Linda. - Asparagus Puff Pastry with a hollandaise with a delightful kick was incredible, my mother in law's favorite. - The blood orange sorbet was a unique and refreshing intermission - Loved the swiss chard rolls with truffle rice and truffle aioli, which was so fun and delicious. Loved the creative take using swiss chard over seaweed! - The polenta was soo creamy and decadent with a delightful pea topping which had a really fresh flavor and fun texture. - Last but not least, an incredible vanilla panna cotta with strawberry coulis. So light, yet creamy and bright from the coulis, one of my favorite desserts and a perfect finish. We honestly really couldn't come up with favorites because we loved each dish! We also enjoyed our Smitten Mittens, Winter Solstice mocktails and Blood Orange Martini, Woah Blackberry Bam la jam martini, Delmonico cocktails, Earl Grey tea, and espresso. Beautiful pottery by @theveganpotter. Thank you Chef Pete @carvcom, Chef Max, Sous Chefs Hailey @veganunknownri and Chris @chrisbragel, Pastry Chef Piper @pipermcaloon.pastry , Linda @lindacarvelli , and Foglia team for this collaborative menu and another incredible #Fogliaexperience read more

In Rhode Island, this is the best fine dining vegan experience you'll get. The entire menu is vegan. Think modern Italian, not American Italian. The chef got nominated for a James Beard award, so getting a reservation will get more difficult soon. I got the expressotini while the wife got the sangria. Mocktails were innovative and inexpensive. The drinks were incredible and well priced. Both of us did the chef tasting menu. The snacks blew us away aka amuse bouche. The rest of the dishes were good to great, but not incredible. Some dishes came out 20 to 25 minutes after we finished the previous one. We really enjoyed talking to the hostess, aka the chef's wife and co-owner. We also shared our feedback on how they could improve. In comparison to higher end vegan fare in providence or similar restaurants in Manhattan, NYC, we expected more for the price. We DID enjoy ourselves and the food. Just think they can grow into their role as they have zero competition in this state outside of providence. Wish them all the success! read more

What an extraordinary experience! From the impeccable waitstaff to the outstanding cuisine, this gem is a dream come true for vegetarians and those living gluten-free lifestyles. We started with the chickpea fries with garlic aoli and beet ketchuo for the table and an order of the fresh-baked focaccia (not GF) paired with the butter flight. Oh, that butter flight! The smoky onion jam butter especially was so unforgettable, we'll be dreaming about it for many moons to come. The entrees were equally impressive--perfectly portioned and bursting with flavor and texture. Three of us indulged in the pasta, (spaghetti with pesto, Fazzoletti e Funghi and Radiatore Lungo Puttanesca) while our GF family member opted for the Lion's Mane Mushroom Filet. Each dish was so enticing, we found ourselves sneaking bites from one another's plates just to savor the creative and delicious combinations. We really enjoyed meeting the chef as he circulated among the tables toward the end of our meal. What a pleasure meeting a James Beard-recognized chef and being able to thank him for the wonderful experience! I cannot wait to return to this restaurant and share the discovery with friends! A word of advice: make a reservation! The space is elegant, modern, inviting and *small*! read more

Absolutely incredible restaurant!!! We are carnivores and never once did I miss meat... the dishes were SPECTACULAR ... one of the best meals I have ever had, Service was equally perfect, can't to return ... we drive 2.5 hrs to fine here and it's absolutely worth the trip!!! read more

Excellent, Impressive, Tasty, Creative, Original. Can't wait to come back. We got the tasting menu and also ordered an additional main dish. The tempeh dish was outstanding. Everything was excellent. BIG WOW. I am vegan for 50 years. I go to every vegan restaurant I can. I've never seen anything like this. Give this chef 10 stars. He's on his own level. Service and ambiance match the excellence of the food. read more

On Sunday we went to brunch I have been wanting to try this plant based restaurant for a while. I am not a vegetarian or vegan but even as a meat eater I really enjoyed all the food at this restaurant. I was so surprised at how much flavor the tofu eggs and plant based chicken had. The Po Boy had a perfect crunch and taste. And the baked rosemary potatoes were cooked perfectly! I had the pleasure of meeting the owner and head chef, Peter. He was extremely nice and welcoming. I love having the chance to compliment the chef at amazing restaurants. I can't wait to go back and try dinner !!! read more

I made a reservation for three people on a Thursday night at 5 o'clock. One of the people in my party thought it was for 6 o'clock. They were going to accommodate us at the bar at 6 o'clock since they didn't have any tables at 5 o'clock. While I was talking on the phone with the other members of my party, and there was no one in the restaurant except one couple. When I got off the phone and I said to the owner of the place we would sit at the bar at 6 o'clock Apparently I was talking too loud because she shushed me! Needless to say, I told her to cancel our reservation and that I was never told to be quiet ever in a restaurant! And I am almost 80 years old! Didn't get to taste the food, but I will never go back there. read more

Food quality, attention to detail with presentation, creativity of menu, ambience, professionalism, yet kindness, and relational skills of the staffing ALL EXCEEDS EXPECTATIONS!!!!! 5 Stars. 2 Thumbs up. Will be back again and again!!! Highly recommend!! Chef Pete introduced himself, checked in with us, made a personal connection creating a very warm and welcoming environment! Outstanding experience. read more

I'll start with the fact that my husband and I are both not vegetarian and left fully satisfied and wowed after our dinner. Everything was delicious. The fresh made pasta and focaccia were fantastic! Service was impeccable. Thank you for a great dinner. read more

my husband and i celebrate our birthdays in a restaurants. We've been celebrating in rhode Island for 4years. None of the restaurants we've tried never celebrate ours even though we mentioned it at the reservations. This restaurant was not like others , they even prepared a card for me on our table !! i was blown away. the server was very present and attentive, making sure we enjoy the every meal. This was the first try so we tried the course . I have a sensitivity to salt so I mentioned if they can leave extra salt. i understand that marinated ones can't do anything to change it, but they omitted as much as they can which was not added salty cheese. Over all, I enjoyed the most was pasta dish , i could eat 3time amount of it! yum yum If you want to celebrate your birthday special or someone special, this place will make it happen! if you have no ideas about vegan , definitely try. read more

Our first visit to Foglia. Will we go again? My husband ordered the not so crab ( being a vegan restaurant) patty with rosemary potatoes- oh sorry no rosemary potatoes available hummm we ponder . Keep in mind this menu is small and I assume adapted and changed regularly ( I could be wrong) so you don't have what's listed? Option the homemade potato chips. Revise our choice to the mushroom Reuben ( photo included). This came with the homemade potato chips!?! Chips again I ponder ... these are fried but not crispy more flimsy oil soaked potato slices. This did not make me happy as I am an at home potato chip maker nice and crispy so this was a definite let down. The Reuben sandwich was tasty but had a very heavy smoked flavor maybe a bit much smoke. Upon attempting to pick up my sandwich, hidden on the reverse side on the plate my bread was not a whole slice but broken in two pieces making the sandwich impossible to hold. I ate my sandwich with a fork and knife weird for a " sandwich "! So I am unsure if we will make a second attempt. The restaurant is small and cozy. The waitstaff was cold and unwelcoming. A waitstaff without personality leaves one wondering why you would want the job. The chef came out to see how our food was but I didn't have the heart to complain while in close proximity of other tables. So I simply said fine. read more

Vegan has never really been my thing, but my wife and I decided to give this a try. Our first impression was that the space is gorgeous; really nice lighting and decor and a beautiful bar. Staff was welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable from the outset. It is a fine dining experience and the wine offerings were good, and different from anything else being offered around town. We had arancini as an appetizer and it was very nice. My wife had the pizza and it was delicious. I had the fennel 'sausage' dish served on polenta with some tomato sauce. It was fine, though this meat lover was not wowed by the substitute; it needed a bit more moisture and flavoring for me, though I realize that tastes differ. We agree we will be back soon. Overall I was very impressed and would recommend it to anyone. read more

The service was great and the wait staff was very attentive and accommodating/patient, with cheerful dispositions (it made for a comfortable 'vibe'). The food was delicious (that Focaccia bread was seasoned to perfection!), served nice and hot with great presentation. The ambiance was very nice. We chose to eat inside and the subtle lighting and LED lamp lights set a special mood. Would definitely recommend and frequent again! read more

We've gone twice and can't wait to go back. The first time we sat at the bar. The drinks were creative and tasty. I had the Cacio e Pepe and honestly - it was the best pasta dish I've ever ordered at a restaurant. I have been thinking about it ever since. My husband didn't believe me when I told him the entire meal was vegan so I had to call over the bartender to confirm for him. He is a meat eater but is happy to eat vegan if the food is great and he kept asking to go back. The second time we sat outside because we had our small dog with us. The hostess and waitress were very kind toward him (thank you!). We ordered the squash blossoms as an appetizer and omg - they are divine. So delicate and delicious. We also tried two variations of their 'burgers' and they were great. Service both times was super accommodating and friendly. I try to eat vegan whenever I can but my husband is more of a meat eater and the fact that he has loved the food is proof that 'non' vegans won't feel like they are missing out. If we lived closer we would be regulars and can't wait to visit again. read more

Hard to say which of the many dishes we loved most that our group of four tried. Truly, everything was fantastic. We see why the chef was a James Beard semi-finalist. The offerings are wonderful enough to turn any devoted carnivore into a vegan. read more

My stepdaughter, who is vegan, suggested that we try Foglia. As an avid meat-eater, I am open to vegan food; all food actually :-) Anyway, the food was fantastic! I had the spaghetti with the sausage (not such a big fan of the sausage, but the pasta was excellent!). I loved the white bean dip appetizer, very tasty. The focaccia was a good choice for dipping. My dry martini was perfect; which is difficult to find for some reason. Our whole party enjoyed their food, and our server, Sydney, was a delight. For dessert, my wife and I split the chocolate mousse cake. I highly recommend the chocolate mousse cake! read more

My wife and I had a delightful date night at Foglia. My Mediterranean stuffed cabbage had wonderful texture and flavor and I was happy with the choice. My wife really enjoyed her Tempeh Picatta - I tried some with her Brussels and it was also really well prepared. This is fine dining vegetarian-Italian style. Our desert was really good, we went with the lemon cake, I think they have a good pastry chef. Overall the service was top notch including plenty of treats from the kitchen and great recommendations from our server. The atmosphere was convivial on a Sunday with plenty of warm conversations filling the room. read more

An absolute fabulous spot in downtown Bristol. We couldn't believe we hadn't been here sooner as we are both plant based! After eating there last night we might not ever eat anywhere else. We ended up sitting at the bar and Alissa (sp?) took great care of us. We started with the chickpea fries (recommended by a friend), then we split the eggplant pizza (the cheese is homemade and made in house), we also split the truffle pasta dish (the chef Peter comes out to grate the truffles on the pasta which was fun), finally we ended with the snowball brownie. It was a perfect end to the evening after seeing the Christmas lights at Blithewald. We are lucky to have many vegan restaurants in the Ocean State. This tops the large establishment in Providence for sure. The food here is out of this world. We can't wait to come back and feel so lucky to live close. read more

My younger cousin and I have a Christmas tradition where we find a restaurant with a tasting menu and go experience the flavors. This year was Foglia, and it did not disappoint. We ate everything before taking pics, but from the second we walked in the door to the minute we left we were treated like royalty and enjoyed an amazing vegetarian meal! It's a small but tastefully decorated restaurant, and the service was attentive without being overbearing. You must try it. We will be back! read more

I love vegetables, but would consider myself the furthest thing from vegan. Visited this restaurant for the first time with friends. We had an assortment of offerings from a relatively tight menu. Every bite, from the amuse bouche to the dessert was so well prepared; chef could make a tin can taste like a gourmet cookie. The concept I loved was that the appetizers, while seemingly simple in the written word on the menu, was a delectable and substantial treat. One could easily make a nice little meal out of a couple of appetizers and be perfectly satisfied. But don't forget the focaccia; probably the best I've ever had. Absolutely loved it and will definitely be back. read more

Incredible food and service. We were excited to check out this new hotspot. We had great weather to enjoy their outdoor dining tables, and my infant daughter was welcomed just as warmly as us adults. As a non-vegetarian, I'm happy to say I was in no way left wanting. Every dish was incredible. We had time to do the chefs tasting menu with wine pairings and in addition to the food blowing us away, the wine pairings were superb as well, probably one of the best pairing menus I've ever experienced. Topping it all off was a dessert so good I dreamed about it later, prepared by their destined-to-be-famous young pastry chef. Cannot wait to go back. read more

Foglia just opened up last week and it's already clearly a hit. I highly recommend trying out this beautiful restaurant. Amazing (vegan) food with a wonderful fine-dining experience. The menu is printed daily and is constantly changing, making way for a unique dining experience.

Definitely give Chef Pete's cuisine a try! read more
