I stopped in for brunch last Sunday with Meg M and we had a really fun experience! We tried a few…read moredifferent cocktails and started with avocado toast and poptart. The avocado toast is quite possibly the best avocado toast I have had! They make the focaccia bread fresh daily! For my main dish I had the shashuka and they prepared mine without cheese. It was tasty. The side of potatoes were prepared really well and the spicy marinara was so good. My friend had the steak and eggs and cacio e Pepe. We tried more cocktails and even got to try one of the special lion king drinks! All of the drinks were really creative! We ended with two different desserts. I really wanted to try the limoncello cake, and it was good but they also brought us the brown butter cake and WOW! That cake was sooooooo good! The bartender, server, and general manager were all wonderful and took really good care of us. I went once for dinner but with my dietary restrictions and their seasonal menu, I only had one pasta to eat. The pasta was good but now they have the option for a dairy free risotto at dinner! I can't wait to come back for dinner and try the risotto. We will def be back for brunch too!

I'm sorry, but five stars isn't enough for Sarto! This was one of the most amazing dining…read moreexperiences I have ever had! I went with Taylor S for brunch and i can honestly say the avocado toast there was the best ever and I can't get over how good the RAFIKI drink was. I hope they rename it and make it a permanent drink! We also tried the Italian pop tart which was so good and several brunch entrees from steak and eggs to pasta and more. If that wasn't enough, we tried two desserts and a whole bunch of cocktails. Everything was so good. We shall be going back to try their dinner menu and attend a special event soon enough. Alexis, Ashley and Meghan took great care of us from start to finish. Every drink, every bite, every question about allergies was carefully handled by the team! We had such a wonderful time thanks to them and the kitchen staff. As far as ambiance, this spot is stunning. From the details paying homage to the tailor shop formerly there to the floor tiles, bar details and even the colors---perfection! They also had the most beautiful glasses for their large range of cocktails and drinks. What a great experience. I'm so glad I came home with leftovers because i might need some after writing this review!

You must visit Viola Cucina. This food is among the closest of Italian dinners - like I've grown up…read morewith - that we've ever enjoyed. The pasta e fagioli soup was delicious and tasted as it should. We savoured it. Our salad tasted garden fresh. I asked for a basic spaghetti with meatballs. Delicious. Their meatballs meet my approval. And that is saying a lot because usually no restaurant meatballs measure up. Except for the meatballs my Grandmother, Mother and I have cooked. This is why I'm tentative about eating Italian out since we grew up making it, ourselves. Everything we tried here falls under the "did not disappoint," category which is an A all around. Even the rustic dining style with sentimental interior home furnishings and decorations. All of it speaks to the heart. They are a warm bunch and will talk to those just passing through. When I'm traveling the Eastern seaboard, I will make it a point to dine at Viola Cucina.

Mostly Smoke and mirrors.... At first glance, their website…read morelooks impressive, their menu looks authentic, and their staff promised 'everything' made fresh and to order. But upon tasting their food, it was clear, 'Viola' is just another Americanized Italian restaurant. We started with an a la carte order of: 'House made focaccia, roasted garlic spread, evoo, craft butter' This was fresh and tasty. We then shared the 'Caesar: traditional romaine hearts, foccaccia croutons, shaved pecorino cheese. classic caesar dressing.' This lacked any flavour, the romaine was cut into too small pieces, there was no hint of garlic or anchovy in the dressing. But the most disappointing dishes were the pasta dishes: 'Fettucini bolognese, house made, beef, pork, veal ragu, pecorino, basil, calabrian Chili.' 'Scampi viola, squid ink linguini, shrimp garlic, white wine, julienned vegetables, preserved lemon butter.' Although the pastas were freshly made, their textures were compromised; both pasta dishes were not 'al dente'. In fact the Scampi viola was drenched in a dark gravy and greasy. This is just not a very skilled preparation of pasta. A fresh pasta needs very little sauce, and should be dressed very simply so the 'textures' can be enjoyed. I ordered the: 'Zuppa di vongole: fresh little neck clams, vino biqnco, fresh herbs, crostini.' But this dish was replaced by a fried calamari dish. This was well prepared, actually the only star of the evening. This restaurant may succeed on its 'blandness' but will never attract the discerning diner who wants and appreciates authentic Italian cuisine. ~tiaotse~

Location - perfect, right on Main Street in EG - parking can be a pain (like every place over there…read morebut we seem to get lucky every time we come and snag a spot right outside) Atmosphere - eye catching, clean, open, warm, great place for any occasion- date, friends, colleagues or family . We were greeted as soon as we entered - bar service was on point as well as table service - very nice, knowledgeable about the menu and additional options You could tell that the food was made fresh - crowd was decent - some tables around us but not a "packed" feeling.. was consistently busy throughout our visit. This restaurant was recommended by a close friend, we have been here a few times now and will definitely keep coming back!

Rating: 4.3 Came to…read morethis restaurant from recommendation from my coworker for team bonding lunch event. It's an authentic Italian farm house style restaurant located on Main street on East Greenwich as well as few other locations in NY. We had a large group reservation made for lunch. It's a smaller restaurant but has 2nd floor which was where we were seated. Interiors are rustic with bricks and wines decorated around the wall inspiring of Italian farm house. They have large selections of wines and drinks and mainly Italian cuisine with specials. They serve some bread with capers and garlic in olive oil to start. We ordered few appetizers such as calamari, meat ball, and baked oysters. Appetizers were okay. I ordered prime rib steak for my entry and it was tasty. Nice and juicy. A bit fatty because of the cuts but was tender and did not have too much issue with tendons. Side of fries were crispy and Brussels sprouts were ok addition nothing special. Little bit of char and flavor on Brussels sprouts would have been nice touch. Would also prefer something acidic like sauce on the side to cut through the fatty meat. Aside from that the steak was good. I also got tiramisu for desert which was good but was not anything exceeding expectation. Service was excellent and waitresses were very nice and attentive. Overall the place was good but may not be best value for the price. Solid upscale Italian place with good service. Unfortunately its not in particularly unique or must try in my opinion.

The food overall was good. I enjoyed the carpaccio the most of the dishes I tried. I also had the branzino which was good but I thought the sweetness of the parsnip puree (it said fennel puree on the RW menu but parsnip puree on the regular menu--tasted more like parsnip to me) didn't really complement the other flavors. Aside from that it was really good and a nice portion size that didn't overwhelm. The tiramisu with two thumbs up! Overall it was a good meal! I can't complain though with so many great Italian restaurants in Providence I'm not sure it would be a standout from some others.

I had a Chicken avocado panini and an iced coffee. The panini was fresh with colorful grill markings and a grilled chicken cutlet, tomato, Romaine lettuce and an avocado purée for $8.49. (They have 3 types of bread for your panini). The iced coffee was made to order with less ice and extra light. Less expensive than Dunkin' and just as good but with better, more friendly service, AND, it was only $2.49 for a large. Extra large is just 26 cents more! Quite the bargain! And is well within an easy walk from Women's and Infants Hospital. Especially good when you want to get out of the hospital! (The restaurant was quiet when I went at about 11 AM on a Monday and had just reopened after being closed for several months.) Nurses and doctors, come here for your lunch or coffee. You won't regret it. They are routinely open after 9 am but if there are catering orders, which there are about 3x per week, you can get your coffee or breakfast at 8 am. (They are there when preparing catering meals at about 6:45 am and you could probably get your coffee or breakfast then too.) And if you are interested in they have beer and mixed drinks available for sale. Currently, they are open only until 2 pm. Enjoy! PS: They have freshly baked cookies for dessert!
