    Chicken Parmesan
    Meagan W.

    Very nice date night restaurant! We've sat inside and outside here and both were very nice. Service and the food have both been great. Drinks were also very good.

    Veal parm, ordered with no cheese and adding only a light amount of parm when served.

    I was in the area for the day and searching for dinner options brought me to Hoof's in Pawcatuck. The ambiance is elevated above casual but not stuffy or exclusionary. I was in there a short time after opening and my waitress was fantastic. I will say the bar staff were a little sweary amongst themselves which could be heard when I wasn't even seated at the bar. They serve warm bread and hummus to start the meal which was great. Im not a hummus person so I used the table olive oil with some fresh grated parmesan instead. The meatballs were amazing. The veal cutlet was ok. The sauce is good. Pasta is served tossed in the sauce rather than just placed on top. I eat a lot of red sauce italian and the food leans roughly middle of the road for me BUT the total experience brought it to 4 stars. I would definitely return and will check out some other dishes. The pictures of the bolognese look amazing.

    The perfect date night dinner, every time! Reasonably priced, masterfully prepared food, and meticulous service (without feeling overwhelming!). Their bread and roasted red pepper hummus is drool-worthy. I'm a big fan of anything served with their house pomodoro.

    Had a lovely meal here while visiting friends in town. Our friends, who eat here frequently, recommended seafood. I had the scallops and risotto special. It was delicious and the scallops were so tender! We shared a sticky toffee cake for dessert which was yummy.

    There are so many things I love about this place. It's clean, upbeat, and the service is prompt. Our servers name was Sam. Clean cut young man, very proper which is so appreciated these days. We sat outside on the patio because it was booked solid and I was really craving the food here. It's pretty noisy with the traffic and the trains, but it's a small price to pay for perfection. We had the lobster nachos for an appeteaser, YUMMMM! I had the surf and turf pasta. It was great. My son had grilled chicken and mashed potots, the wifey had a white truffle pasta with grilled chicken. The food was great. I hate to reiterate this but, the traffic noise is obnoxious. It really took focus away from the experience. Other than that, it was a pleasure.

    Some of the best pasta I've ever had. Place is super nice, seating is spacious and comfy, and service was good! Our waiter was nice and kept bringing us some of their delicious bread. I had the rigatoni and meatballs and they were *chef's kiss.*

    Pork Chop Calabrese from Hoofs
    Dave C.

    Okay, we've been looking for a new high quality Mediterranean place that has other things as well. Hoofs Restaurant on the Pawcatuck/Westerly line (I prefer to think of it as Westerly) nailed it. With outstanding service, a great, lively vibe (without being obnoxious) and incredible food, we had an amazing 39th birthday dinner for my wife. (We had a 39th birthday for her over a decade ago as well...., hmmm). Our server Beth was generous with her time, gave outstanding dining suggestions, was intimately familiar with the menu and ingredients, and was very nice and hospitable! Thanks Beth!!! We started off with an appetizer to share, it was a filet mignon carpaccio, which is a thinly sliced, almost tartare consistency on a delicious bed of fresh arugula (In February, nice touch), topped with romano crumble and bits of crispy prosciutto. I could've eaten just that for dinner but I wanted the pork chop that my buddy told me I HAD to go to Hoofs for. So clearly I had the pork chop calabrese plate, which blew everything you've ever thought about a pork chop away. Moist, tender, flavorful and definitely filling. Served with spinach, peppers, sun-dried tomatoes and thick, super flavorful slices of tender, fried potato, it filled me up, and that's hard to do. My wife had the salmon piccata which was one of the nightly specials, and she, who NEVER finishes her whole dinner, loved it so much she "ate through the pain" as I recommended and killed it! Her dish came with some light/fluffy mashed potatoes that were lightly seasoned and delicious. She also had the arugula salad which includes pears, red onion, shaved fennel and goat cheese (gross...sorry, my opinion, she and many others love it, haha) Closing out the night we had a delicious piece of authentic Key Lime pie with an Oreo crumble crust. Beth even jazzed it up for my wife's birthday and added a candle and even got me to sing Happy Birthday to my beautiful wife. Perfect night, perfect meal, our new go-to, special event place. As a comparison, we went to a highly advertised/recently opened place in one of the casinos recently, paid DOUBLE what it cost us for a better, more delicious and enjoyable meal at Hoofs.

    Pan seared scallops with a hearty serving of lobster and asparagus risotto.

Service was great. Our server was really attentive, with 4 - 5 tables pretty much seated within minutes of of us getting seated. I tried a Longo Cosmo. Not really my thing, but it was good. The espresso martini was better! We had drinks, an app, dinner and dessert! Rolling out of there is an understatement! And it was all super delicious. I had chicken francais, aone friend had the carbonara and the other had chicken caprese. We did start with calamari , which were delicious, super light and crunchy. Gelato and a chocolate mousse cake were delicious dessert choices. Sorry, forgot the dessert pics! Quality is what we had here, for the prices, I would have expected nothing less. I would come back here again to try the pizza so many have raved about. But the dinners looked so good, we went with our own meals.

    The meatballs are absolutely wonderful, and the service is great…read more However, you get more meatballs in the appetizer than you do when the spaghetti and meatball dish-ugh. The chicken francaise was meh. The ambience was fantastic, and, it was packed and the place is very clean.

The nostalgia was real, and I was hoping the food would still taste like it used to -- and it totally delivered. We got a large Meat Mania pizza, a small buffalo chicken pizza, and 6 garlic knots. The Meat Mania was packed with all the classic meats and had a great ratio of toppings to cheese. The buffalo chicken pizza had a nice balance of spice and tang -- not overwhelming, just right. The garlic knots were more on the well-done side this time, so they were a bit chewy and harder to tear apart than usual, but they still had a rich buttery garlic flavor that paired really well with the pizza. I wouldn't say they were perfect this time, but I still enjoyed them. Everything tasted just like I remembered -- the kind of comfort food that hits different when you haven't had it in years. If they keep up this level of quality, I'll keep coming back every time I visit home.

This time, we left happy, and full! Garlic knots with marinara, on point! My husband enjoyed his Caesar salad with house made dressing. And the pizza was delicious! The spinach and artichokes had just enough flavor not to be bland. The ricotta was a nice layer - not thick- and flavorful. The crust was light and airy, just enough crunch. Maybe it could have used a drizzle of olive oil after cooking, but it was still very good. Our server, Cassie, has been there for a long time, and was right on top of everything. It was slow... Mid Sunday afternoon, but we know they can get busy. There is a large parking lot, as well as outdoor seating. If new to the area, you could miss it... The plaza sign is covered with overgrowth, so watch closely!!
