I know there are some great breakfast spots nearby. Like legit brunch go to spots. But - I was not willing to give up my free parking to get there. Ha! Also did not want the tired ole breakfast sammy at the venue. So Yelp steered me here. Was thinking I'd an omelette off menu was where I'd end up but got there and found out there's a buffet with a an omelette station...was it more expensive? Not sure but for $25 there was plenty of fruit, breakfast sides, waffles, and so much more. Abraham whipped up an amazing veggie egg white omelette for me. Service was attentive and prompt. The vibe is your standard hotel dining area - forgot to mention it is the Hilton restaurant. Entrance is through the hotel lobby. It was a great sit down breakfast.

Every Sunday, I take my parents to lunch. Not most Sundays…read more Every Sunday. This week, my mother sat it out. Her granddaughters flew in from all over the country to spend the day with her. So it was just my father and me at Fellini Pizzeria Pawtuxet Village Cranston, RI. The company was smaller. The pizza was not. Fellini's opened its Pawtuxet Village location in August 2014, bringing its famous Wickenden Street pizza to Broad Street along with a full dining room, bar and huge outdoor seating area. The first thing you notice inside is the pressed-tin ceiling, patterned in raised squares that catch the light differently depending on where you sit. Vintage parade photographs hang in black frames. Women wave from convertibles as people crowd both sides of Broad Street. A little green plant sits in a checkerboard pot near the front window. None of it feels decorated. It feels accumulated. What really makes the place, though, is the picture window that gets out of the way. The entire side of the dining room opens like a garage door onto the patio. No glass. Almost no separation. Yellow umbrellas shade the tables beneath a maple already starting to turn. String lights hang overhead. We sat inside while the breeze came straight through and joined us for lunch. The best of both worlds. It is the kind of feature newer restaurants spend a fortune trying to create. Fellini's simply opens the wall. We started with the garlic-knot meatball sliders. Three garlic knots split open and packed with sliced meatballs, marinara and provolone, then finished with olive oil and enough parmesan to turn the plate underneath them white. The knots were soft and pillowy, with enough chew to hold everything together. Meatball, melted provolone, red sauce, garlic and parmesan in every bite. Best pizza appetizer in Rhode Island. No hesitation. My father took one bite and did not say much. From him, that is a five-star review. Then they brought out the pizza. It was eighteen inches across and so big it would not fit on our table. They placed it on a stool beside us instead, where it sat at roughly the same height as my father and waited for the two of us to figure out what we had gotten ourselves into. The size was only the beginning. Fellini's calls it New York style, although the whole-wheat crust gives it a character of its own. It was thin, crisp underneath and chewy through the middle, with enough structure to support an almost absurd amount of toppings. And absurd is the right word. Pepperoni curled and darkened around the edges. Black olives covered nearly every available piece of real estate. Cheese surrounded all of it and browned across the top. Every slice carried more pepperoni and olives than some places put on half a pizza. This pie should have collapsed under its own ambition. It did not. The crust stayed crisp and held everything together from the outside edge toward the tip. Nothing about the pizza was restrained. Fellini's built an eighteen-inch pie, covered it with as much as it could reasonably carry, then went a little beyond responsible. That was the point. The balance still worked. The cheese did not bury the sauce. The pepperoni brought the salt and a little heat. The olives brought even more savory flavors. The thin crust kept the whole thing from becoming heavy, even when everything on top of it suggested otherwise. This is not a delicate pizza. It is a generous one. Especially for the price. The service was friendly and attentive throughout. No hovering. No waiting around trying to find someone. Just an easy lunch while the Red Sox played on the television in the corner and my father and I kept looking over at the pizza on the stool, trying to calculate whether the leftovers would fit in the refrigerator without removing a shelf. My mother got a day with her granddaughters. My father got out of the house. I got him to myself for a while. And Fellini's sent us home with enough pizza to make Sunday lunch last until at least Tuesday.

I like this location better than the one in Providence - mostly because it's bigger and has better…read moreambience. There's a bar area with TV to watch the game or whatever, a cozy rustic indoor dining area, a quick eat-and-go area without servers where you can grab a slice and eat it and a really nice outdoor seating area with heaters. So many options! The pizzas have inventive toppings and a very NY-Style thin crust. You can also get whole wheat crust which I love. There are tons of veggie options too. Truly something for everyone! Only one word of caution - they tend to cook their pizzas pretty dark - so if you aren't into that be sure to let them know. One time we got a pizza that was totally black in the bottom. The server was gracious about it and they remade it for us. Their sangria is strong! And their salads are huge. Definitely don't forget an appetizer and drinks.

They are crispy on the outside and not over cooked on the inside. The sauce they are served with compliments the spice of the Brussels. Sweet potato fries: here are among the best I've found in my year in Providence. They are always crispy and never excessive with the oil. Veg out burger: I highly recommend this. Delicious as is but bartender there suggested and I fell in love with the veg patty itself with the preparation the Fire In The Hole burger instead. So flavorful. Veggie patty is crispy and filled with fresh veggies that still keep a crunch. Drinks: wide variety of beers on tap as well including a favorite of mine Kona Big Wave. keep being awesome yall are killing it. Atmosphere: Monday they also have karaoke which is friendly low pressure and just a good time. Venue offers open windows letting in fresh air during good weather. Service: Friendly attentive bar staff who are personable and efficient. They definitely make you feel welcome and the quality of their pours definitely do not disappoint.

There's plenty of seating, the lights are low and cozy, and the vibe is super chill. The music was really good and we pretty much sang the entire time we were there LOL. The guys behind the bar were great, super attentive and helpful without hovering. We all ordered burgers with fries, and honestly, they were exactly what we needed. Fresh, juicy, and perfectly done. We each got a beer too, and while the first round came out a little flat, the bartender immediately replaced them without hesitation and made sure our water glasses stayed full all night. For three people, the total came out to about $60, which was not bad at all for solid food, good service, and a laid-back spot to unwind after a long day. Definitely worth checking out if you want an unpretentious bar with good energy and even better burgers.

The entire dish had only one shrimp, no clams at all, and mostly calamari with chunks of salmon--which did not flow with the dish or taste like it belonged in a traditional frutti di mare.

The food is delicious (although some pizzas that contain garlic really have a lot of garlic!) - I love their eggplant parm sub an insane amount, the bread is just so fresh and crunchy and fluffy. I tried the cinnamon dough bites today and let's just say they were worth burning my mouth for! I wish they came with an icing type sauce or something though. I've only been on trivia nights, which is fun, but very loud. I wish the trivia company they use projected the questions on one of the approximately 15 screens this place has. I tend to forget the options immediately after they're read to me. Drinks are very economically priced, which is great for a casual friend hang or when you're tired of the overpriced cocktails that seem to be absolutely everywhere right now. You can get a good deal on a pitcher of beer or sangria. Bummed there is only 1 Women's and 1 men's bathroom for the whole restaurant, you often have to wait if there's a decent crowd in the place. It's a small space and the mirror is facing you when you're on the toilet, so that's....an experience. The biggest drawback is that it shares a wall with a cigar / smoke lounge, so it can get smoky in here. Every time the door opens, since people tend to smoke on the patio, a new waft of it comes in. I wish there was a way to improve the ventilation system and/or somehow get rid of this issue, since otherwise this is a cozy and fun spot with great food and lots of events and entertainment.

As soon as you come in you see a bunch of pinball machines and some cool decorations. It is a little dark in there just an FYI. The place was very clean and they have projects playing something different on each wall. One was playing Scooby doo my personal favorite. As for the service it was great! The staff was wicked friendly and very attentive. I never had to ask a refill they always had another one coming, soda obviously. High recommend and I cant wait to go back to try more!
