    Just an old timey joint w great sassy waitresses.

    It's nothing special, or fancy, and they don't have a line out the door... Wait... They don't have a line out the door!!! After driving to T's, then Cozy Grill and leaving both because we were too impatient to wait we crashed at Paula's. No line, no waiting. Pure heaven. The staff is real and I love it. It's just a dated looking place, but the food comes out quick and it is always good. Plenty of tables in this place. Good for big groups.

    I can't speak about the price. My Mom paid. I can't speak about the coffee, I didn't try it. The food.. I Loved it! This is a greasy spoon, bigger inside than I thought it'd be, but no frills (nothing pretty about it really). BUT! Great service and great food. First time customer and I'll be back again soon!

    I really liked Paula's. The restaurant has lots of space and a huge menu that is hanging from the wall. They have all the traditional breakfast items and daily specials. They also have some Portuguese breakfast items which is a good option. I had the oatmeal with fresh fruit and brown sugar. The oatmeal was delicious, creamy and very filling. My husband had an omelet with Portuguese style shredded meat. He loved it. My daughter love her Mickey Mouse pancake. She said it was soft and fluffy. I will definitely return to Paula's the next time I'm in Warwick. I highly recommend Paula's for a great breakfast.

    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~

    We had a lovely lunch at Avvio. This seems to be the location to 'lunch with the ladies' if their…read morelunch clientele is any indication. Parking in this are is shared with all the other businesses in Garden City, so you may have to walk a bit on busy shopping days. We were seated by a hostess with menus and our waitress came by in enough time that we knew what we wanted to order for lunch. The menu has everything from salad entrée to full bar. I went with a salad with salmon added. My dining companion chose a pizza. We were both happy with our choices. The lettuce was fresh, the portion size of the salmon good and it was cooked perfectly. Restrooms are at the back, past the bar. Seating is comfortable with a variety of banquettes and chairs. The dining room was bright with large windows. The bar side has more subdued lighting. Our waitress was not often available, but when she stopped by she was 'present'. Food was brought out by runners.

    This place is SOOOO YUMMY with great portions-- I left feeling full and even had a little left…read moreover. Will be back!!!! Our waiter, Malik, was so nice and attentive. He really seemed like he likes his job and was so delightful to interact with. The bread here is delicious (focaccia I think, and it comes with olive oil). The bolognese, though, was SO GOOD-- maybe the best I've ever had? SOOOOO GOOD and I do consider myself an experienced bolognese consumer. I will definitely be back!!
