    This is a review of International Zone restaurant , not to be confused with International Pocket restaurant which is across the street. It's pretty confusing to me why two restaurants across the street from each other would have such similar names but then I get confused by a lot of things. It's actually located in a plaza next to the Uni of Rhode Island and is a tiny place. Sort of dumpy looking and the only reason we went here was because International Pocket was so crowded. Tons of URI students use this plaza. Boy was I surprised, the only thing they sell here are calzones and Stromboli and I was a little unsure of what a calzone was and had no idea what a stromboli is. They do have zillions of different ones with all types of ingredents including blueberries or strawberries. You can even pick combinations of your own items. So I got a egg plant and veggie calzone and my wife got a chicken something or other stromboli. Wow, were they good! The only different I could see between the calzone and stromboli was that the stromboli was rounder, like a giant burrito. Not really like a burrito but sort of. It was more burrito than a calzone anyways. Whatever, they were both absolutely fantastic. Not only tasty, but large enough to fill me up which is quite a accomplishment. The place is small, hotter than hell and sort of dumpy and the guy inside not exactly friendly. When I tried to ask him what the hell a stromboli was he just pointed to the sign listing the different kinds and then went in back. Not exactly helpful but that's fine. We went there because we were hungry and not for a conversation. So if you are looking for atmosphere and witty conversation go somewhere else. But If you want great food, as long as it's calzones and stromboli try this place. You probably will be pleasantly surprised.

    The pizza is not crispy, It is drenched in oil and has no taste. Needs to be cooked differently and add some spices to the sauce.

    We stopped by Terminesi' for dinner the other night. I'll be honest, I had been once before during…read morethe RI Food Fights and had a meatball grinder that was not my favorite. It was so garlicky that I thought it must have been a mistake. The meatballs had whole cloves in them. I LOVE garlic but I couldn't eat the sandwich as it was overpowering. However, Wakefield is lacking in a good Italian place and I did think this may have been a mistake, so I gave it another try. It also helped that they have $.50 wings on Monday. I ordered 8 buffalo wings and rigatoni & meatballs. Well I was pleasantly surprised. The wings were excellent. I think they make their own buffalo sauce and i detected that they used butter (which is always a good thing). Not too hot but a kick. The pasta and meatballs were good. The sauce was not my favorite but that is a matter of taste. The price was a bit high but not outrageous. The service was a little slow, but I suspect that was my server as she never seemed to be on the floor, while the other 2 were very visible. All in all, a nice experience.

    Elizabeth served me an incredible lunch!…read more Wasn't super hungry, and it was my first visit so I wanted to try a few things, therefore I went with three sides and an iced tea. Any guesses? Meatballs... Garden salad with ranch dressing, apparently better than the Italian And a side of broccoli. Everything was great, especially the meatballs. Their red sauce is excellent. Will return for the smash burger, and to see Elizabeth's smile. Even the music in there is good Highly recommended!

They came quickly with ice water and bread while we decided what to order. Our waitress even put a clam shell container full of ice in our bag of leftover containers. We will be back. Highly rec reservations.

The complementary bread was warm and delicious...it came with a nice olive oil dip. We got two glasses of the Simi Valley Cab and they were delicious and robust. Great choice for a red wine. I ordered the clam spaghetti and my husband got the Chicken Rossini. The pasta was very salty...probably the saltiest dish I have had in years...I did not send it back, I just downed two full glasses of water with my meal. My husband's chicken dish was large and good tasting, but also a bit salty...not as much as my pasta dish, but salty. It's easy to add a bit of salt to a dish, but it's really hard to take it out. Based on how salty the food was, I would not be coming back here anytime soon.

I did come to this location when it was "Trio", but that was a decade or so ago. Celeste has an Iberian influenced (Spain/Portugal) menu as opposed to Trio which was Italian. For apps we had the Patatas Bravas (incredible) and the charred octopus. Being Portuguese, I know good Octopus and this was ELITE. For Entree I had the Romesco Cod (again Portuguese approved as we LOVE us some cod) My date had the Halibut which is her usual (she lives in Gansett and comes here often) I tried her dish and it was perfect! We shared the pistachio tiramisu and it was a perfect way to end an unforgettable dinner. The waitress was on point the whole dinner. I believe her name was Anastasia. They didnt have any cortados in the coffee menu, but Anastasia said she could make one for me and boy did she nail it! The location is also great. We went for a stroll on Narragansett beach ( a short walk from Celeste) after dinner and caught a beautiful sunset. I haven't posted a review in a while, but I had to share my experience. Highly recommend. Only took one photo as we were a bottle of wine in when it occurred to me that I should document the experience for Yelpers.

We honestly couldn't have asked for better staff interaction. Everyone was friendly, personal and genuinely cared about our time there! Also hats off to the chef! Jared told us he was the best and I can agree! This was quite possibly one of the best meals I've had all year! We shared a special of the night ( goat cheese, beets, peaches and hot honey) and the salad that is set to be a new menu item. Everything was locally sourced and these dishes were a 10/10! It was hard to choose and entree so Emily C and I split the cod and the steak sirloin. The cod was to die for. The best I've ever had. The sirloin was chefs kiss and the sauce and asparagus it paired with (and potatoes too) were all out of this world! While i was already full, the dessert menu is a must. We went with a lemon dessert and oh my goodness was it to die for! Drinks were amazing too---I had a spritz and a very tasty mocktail! Ambiance both inside and outside are beautiful. Since it was a sunny summer night we sat outside, but inside is equally stunning. It is very upscale chic and so pretty! Thank you for a wonderful experience! I'll be back for the staff, especially our server David, another drink, the eggplant sandwich and more of the dessert menu! I see why Yelp raves about this new spot! It is !

Two of the folks had the Shrimp Scampi and they loved it. I had the Cavatelli Bolognese. It was awesome. The youngster in our party had the typical Pasta & Meatballs and had no complaints (she ate the whole dish). The last person had the House Salad topped with the Salmon. We all had desserts. What was incredible was the Tiramisu which is made at the restaurant. Alone this could be split 4 ways if you wanted. Anyway, Arturo Joe's is not your typical Italian restaurant. It is definitely a step above and the prices are reasonable. Also, the restaurant owner/ manager stopped by our table to see how things were going and if there was anything else we needed. The service was great even though they seemed to be extremely busy with limited staff. You have got to tr4y this place if you are in the area. I could be tempted to make the two-hour drive from my house just to have another meal at this restaurant. Buon Appetit!

Nothing fancy inside or out, but who cares when the food served and service provided are outstanding. FIVE Stars does not fairly measure our level of satisfaction with our dining experience from food to service to cost. Warm crusty bread loaf with EVVO Dip was brought to table right away. The dip was the most flavorful I have had in a restaurant. Orders included: Blue Mussels Appetizer in a Gorgonzola broth with onions, a special. (Large quantity $13.) Amazing! Seafood Risotto -- Outstanding! Perfectly cooked rice base with lobster, scallops and shrimp. Seasoned skillfully. Filet Mignon -- with a blue cheese sauce was tender and flavorful. Lazyman Lobster -- Seafood stuffed (1 1/4 pound) was my selection. Surprised the crumb topping enhanced the rich buttery seafood. I usually toss it aside. Would order again! (Only $34.99) The sides were also very good: Smashed garlic mashed Homemade warm golden hued Kettle Chips Al dente Broccoli Medley of seasonal vegetables Only one exception: A side order of French Fries was not appetizing. It tasted greasy and was over salted. Fries were on thin side and stuck together. Overall, food exceeded our expectations, and we are eager to return. We are interested in trying one or more of their FOUR Calamari Apps. I am intrigued by the Thai style one with a peanut sauce. They have a Lounge Menu and a Dining Room menu with creative seafood and steak options. We believe Mariners is far superior to nearby George's Restaurant in Galilee in food prep, service, and cost.

There is ample parking around the restaurant, which is located in a plaza. We asked for a table rather than a booth & were accommodated. I ordered a glass of Chateau Ste. Michelle Riesling & my friend an Aperol Spritz. Our pleasant young waitress had no knowledge of the alcoholic beverage menu, explaining that she wasn't old enough to drink. We literally had to point it out on the menu so she could copy it to her order pad. The wine pour was generous. We were served a complimentary loaf of bread warm from the oven with an olive oil dip. Delicious! For our mains, I ordered the broiled sea scallops ($26), one of their nightly specials. I chose rice as one of my sides & asked if they could steam some broccoli for the other, which they did. My friend ordered the Garlic Parmesan Mushroom Chicken ($20) with angel hair pasta. Both were large servings & very good. We ordered a piece of their chocolate cake to share for dessert, which the restaurant generously comped as it was my friend's birthday. The entire bill came to just under $72 before tip. Unfortunately, there is a 3.5% upcharge if you use a credit card, a practice I truly dislike.
