We really enjoyed this place! My husband, baby, and I came on a weekday afternoon. We were in the…read morearea and we wanted to continue our pursuit of excellent local seafood. We started out with my husband's newfound favorite, the clam cakes. I appreciated the herbiness of the breadcrumbs they were fried in. My husband got the crab roll for his entree, and I did like the bite I was able to sneak of it. I really wanted the lobster roll but that $42 price tag turned me away quickly. Instead I got the fish and chips with pollock for my entree. I am always complaining about portion sizes. Not here, I was only able to finish around 1/3 of it. It is substantial! Not only was it a generous portion, but it was really nicely fried, and I loved the flaky salt on it. My one complaint is the sauces that you pay extra for. I got some piri-piri mayo and garlic aioli. Both of these were absolutely not worth it, grossly lacking in flavor. Don't waste your money on these and stick with ketchup. The staff was friendly, helpful, and as attentive as they could be from inside the food truck. The locale is super cute with a bunch of picnic tables out on a patio. The parking is super limited though so beware. Would definitely recommend!

Enjoyed a great lunch after exploring the Providence Flea, just a short walk from the vendings,…read morethis spot offers small menu, but filled with some fresh seafood, and true New England classic items. They only offer outdoor seating, so I'd saying nice weather is key to enjoy a meal here, but we lucked out. My wife and I placed our order at the window, and waited for them to call our name. We split a cup of clam chowder (white) and a lobster roll. Food was ready pretty quickly and was delicious. The lobster roll was not only full, but it was packed with huge chunks of meat, very tasty, it was also served with French fries. The clam chowder was also tasty, with good flavor and decent chunks of clam inside. Prices here were a bit high, but the quality of the food was very high, and very fresh. Portions are decent, as we were able to share one lobster roll and a cub of chowder, and it was adequate. They also had live music playing to add a little ambiance If you find yourself in downtown Providence, I'd recommend this as a staple to check out.

After making reservations at another restaurant, we drove there only to discover they were…read moreclosed--even though we had received confirmation for our 7:00 PM reservation. Needless to say, it was a disappointing start to what was supposed to be a special family evening. Thankfully, a quick call to Aguardente in Fox Point changed everything. The person who answered explained that they weren't taking reservations that evening, but they did have one outdoor table left if we could make it there in time. Despite the challenges of navigating Providence during the World Cup festivities and the Cape Verde Festival in the Fox Point area, we managed to get to the restaurant and secure that last table. We are incredibly grateful to the staff at Aguardente for helping turn our evening around. Our daughter and son-in-law were hoping to enjoy one last dinner with both families before leaving on Monday for a special assignment in South Carolina, and the unexpected closure of our original restaurant had left everyone feeling frustrated and disappointed. From the moment we arrived, the team at Aguardente made us feel welcome. The food was excellent, the drinks were wonderful, and the service was outstanding. Most importantly, they helped transform what had begun as a stressful evening into a memorable celebration with family. Thank you to everyone at Aguardente for your kindness, hospitality, and professionalism. You made our families smile and created a special memory during an important moment in our lives. We highly recommend Aguardente and look forward to returning. -- A very grateful family

Atmosphere: cute outdoor seating area for summer nights. The inside has cool decor (including a…read morebathroom that apparently won an award??), but is very small and cramped. The upper 'porch' like area looks really fun, but the table we were seated at was so close to the other tables I was uncomfortable. I get that we're in a city, but I value my personal space and privacy and felt like the whole restaurant could hear my every word - ick. Service: our server seemed annoyed that I didn't want an alcoholic drink, and was not very helpful. Half of the menu is not in English (very chaotic how some portions are in English and others are not, it doesn't seem consistent), so we had some questions, such as "what does x taste like?" and the only response we got was "not too sweet"....okay, but what DOES it taste like? She spoke very fast and I couldn't understand her listing off the specials, even though she didn't really have an accent. She left partway through while we were there so I guess she was just at the end of her shift and checked out, but it was so offputting how rude and unhelpful she was. When our servers transitioned, we offered to cash out then since we weren't getting anything else and wanted the original server to get her tips, but she started joking around that we didn't have to do that - which I appreciate, but we actually did want to get going and get cashed out, but she refused to give us our check. I asked three times and she still wouldn't 'let us do that'...very weird. Food: there were not a ton of vegetarian options that appealed to me. I went a little overboard on plantains by accident, which is my mistake. I first ordered the Rellenitos with cilantro crema sauce, which were very good and a flavor combination I wasn't expecting. The dough to filling ratio was a little off and they were pretty dry inside, so I needed a lot of the sauce. An order only came with 2 and I wish it was more. I'm glad I ordered something else - Tula Fries, which came with the same exact cilantro creme sauce as the Rellenitos, even though they are described differently on the menu, which felt lazy to repeat a sauce. The sauce didn't go well with them at all in my opinion so I did not enjoy these as much as I would've liked. My friend enjoyed her drink, but thought almost all of the meat on her meat and cheese board was either low quality or close to going bad. It was priced reasonably, which we were shocked by, but she couldn't eat a good portion of it sadly. We did really enjoy the baked flava bean snack that was a part of it. The board weirdly came with just half of one small, half rotten strawberry that looked terrible - it would've been better to leave it off. Towards the end of the night, there was so much water on the floor in the hallway that goes to the bathroom and passes the kitchen - I had to walk through it to go to the bathroom, which felt like a safety hazard. My friend was on crutches and wouldn't even try to get over there since we knew she'd slip on all the water. It just looked terrible and was dangerous, so not sure what we going on that there was such a water issue there. Their specialties and more meat based dishes are probably great, but there just aren't a ton of things for me to eat here. I'd be willing to try it again for drinks and apps if the service wasn't so unwelcoming.

Nate was excellent, as was the supporting staff. He gave us plenty of time to enjoy our cocktails while we looked over the menu. The Fiori Rosa Spritz was terrific, as was the smoked 'Mericano. We thoroughly enjoyed the bread with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and a garlic clove big enough to choke a horse! The shrimp cocktail was also excellent, especially with real horseradish on top of the cocktail sauce. My Montepulciano d'Abruzzo complemented the Rigatoni alla Bolognese perfectly. The sauce was flavorful without being overpowering, allowing all the flavors and textures to come through. The Cavatelli Rustici was also very good and satisfying enough that it didn't need an added protein. We finished with decaf cappuccinos and shared the warm Old Fashioned Butter Cake--a delightful ending to a wonderful meal. The people seated around us were friendly and engaged us in conversation, which made the evening even more enjoyable. We highly recommend Basta. Even though we're only visiting for a few more weeks, we'll gladly bump another restaurant off our must-try list to make room for a return visit. We will definitely be back!

Quick layover anywhere in New England automatically has me on the delivery apps looking for lobster…read morerolls, crabcakes, and a good lobster bisque. This time I landed on Legal Sea Foods and grabbed all three... plus an order of their Rhode Island-style calamari with hot peppers and garlic. The calamari came in hot, lightly crisp on the outside and tender inside, and the peppers gave it a nice little kick. What really impressed me though? Their delivery packaging. They deconstructed everything -- which was PERFECT for me because who wants a soggy sandwich? My warm butter-poached lobster roll came with the lobster meat packed separately in a cup, and the bun lightly buttered, toasted, but still soft on the inside. The roll itself was big enough for two sittings, so having it packed separately made it even better because I could put it together when I was actually ready to eat. Same thing with their A-list crabcake -- the crabcake separate, the little salad bed separate, the sauces separate. Lump crab meat, tasty, no complaints. The lobster bisque had good flavor too. Honestly, big kudos to them for the thoughtful "to go" food packaging. Deconstructing it - Everything stayed fresh, nothing got soggy, and when I finally sat down to eat, it tasted like it should.

The first time I reviewed this place, I focused on the broken website. Well, I have gone to this…read moreplace for over 8 years now, more than a dozen times. It was acquired by a new owner about a year or so ago, but nothing has changed significantly, which is good. I love this place. It's my go-to, showcase restaurant for small company. It has a cozy yet classy vibe. There's linen on the table, and the service is spot on. It is not pretentious but elegant enough. I enjoy the vibe. When I am stumped about where to take a guest or guests, I never go wrong with this place--it's so close to me as well. It is one of Warwick's best-kept secrets. First, their dinner-for-two with a bottle of wine lives on, though I no longer enjoy the revamped menu, and the price has gone up. It's just better for me to order off the regular menu now. For starters, they have warm bread, roasted garlic that is so soft and moist to spread on the bread, olive oil, vinaigrette, and parmesan to par if you fancy. Their dishes are filling, and the dessert choices are ample. As a rule, I do not eat dessert after a meal, but here, that rule is kaput. So worth it. They also always give you complimentary limoncello shots. On my most recent visit, we ordered the Mediterranean Calamari for starters, the generous Seafood Pescatore, Pan Seared Black Bass, enjoyed with Meiomi Pinot Noir, and for dessert, something special that I cannot recall. Still, I knew it had caramel and toffee. Just go already. I promise you will not regret it.

When I got close, the app said the time picked wasn't available so I had to do it all over again and had to wait maybe 15-20 minutes. Their power also went out right after our order. Too bad bc we would've ordered more! The female worker looked very miserable and was complaining about her day. Five stars for the food:: Now, the lobster rolls were delicious. Wished they were bigger but were kinda tiny. If you're really hungry, you'd have to order two to three rolls. We got the Maine roll with mayo and the Garlic one. The Maine one is with mayo and chilled whereas the Garlic is warm with butter. We also got shrimp tacos which were ok. Very tiny shrimp. All three cost me $85 :( and the app automatically includes tip if you don't pay attn. I'd def order the rolls again even though they were tiny. Flavor, texture, and bread were nicely put together.

I love lobster, so I was really looking forward to trying it. Originally, I wanted to order the lobster roll, but when I asked how much lobster was in it, the girl at the window wasn't sure. That made me hesitate, so I decided to try the lobster tacos instead and I'm so glad I did! They were absolutely delicious plenty of lobster, great toppings, and perfect shells. A really satisfying and flavorful option. I had been a little hesitant because of some mixed Yelp reviews, but my experience was great. The tacos were $19, which felt fair for the quality and amount of lobster. The lobster roll seemed reasonably priced too, but I'm pretty particular about lobster rolls and didn't want to gamble this time. My only real suggestion is that the staff be a little more informed about the food they're serving. That said, the quality spoke for itself, and I would definitely eat from this truck again!
