The service was great very friendly bartender she made me the best chai martini ever totally recommend it. I order the soups de clam it's in a red sauce very delicious. Today is Friday the music is good very lively personality I like it but if you want a quiet romantic place the music is a little loud so everyone is speaking somewhat loudly lol but everybody seems to be having a good time as well. I love the ambiance. It's 9:46 and the place is not super packed which is ok, I think I missed the rush ;) they have four TV's captions on .. over all I will come back to try the ribeye stake with crab meat on top.

The social on Mineral Spring Ave is a great restaurant the best lemon drop martinis. I've had a pizza is delicious. Had multiple kinds from regular of pepperoni to a special highly recommend. Great atmosphere parking can get tight. The food is phenomenal and the service is always a plus.

Even when busy we are always seated quickly. Service always friendly. Food is inconsistent. Last time boneless tenders were great. This time slightly overcooked and dry. I wasn't a fan of the CBR pizza. Toppings were very inconsistent. Mostly centered in middle. Barely any chicken or bacon (you can see in my photos). I'll definitely return but might pass on the pizza and try something else.

So this was the first time I've been back to the Social after some previously less than impressive visits when they first opened. Stopped in tonight after a long day at work for a drink and a late dinner. We were seated quickly and were just about to question whether anything had changed when a very effervescent Nicole came over and apologized for not getting to us sooner and took our drink order. We were going to get just a simple Pepperoni pizza but instead went with the CBR (which is totally outside my wheelhouse) but my fiancee tires of 'Roni. We also decided to try their thicker Sicilian style rectangular pie. So the Chicken Bacon Ranch was a surprisingly good pizza and while it's tough getting past the lack of red sauce ... this was an impressive pizza nonetheless. We were also quite hungry too so that didn't hurt our judging factor. Nicole's personality definitely helped; she was smiling and outgoing and chatty even in an otherwise busy dining room. I still think the prices at the Social are a tad high and I know we can eat at other places in North Providence for less.

Food was great! Served very hot. Huge portions. Service was friendly and fast. Few mistakes on the bills that were fixed quickly. Will definitely be back.

I probably would have purchased my food here instead had I known their selection of prepared foods looked much better than my previous stop at another store. I stopped in mainly to buy the imported buffalo mozzarella where they seem to be the only place who imports it from Italy. It did not disappoint. You really haven't experienced authentic mozzarella until you've had the real deal made from actual water buffalo milk. The personalized service at this establishment is wonderful. It is family owned and operated, and they are truly a class act and treat their customers so kindly. Their cheese selection is also very expansive and they also sell many cookware items imported from Italy. I can't say enough good things about this little store with a big personality. Please stop by if you are visiting Federal Hill!

Tony's did not disappoint! This is an old school Italian grocery and deli. The products on the…read moreshelves are thoughtfully curated (I am still thinking of a certain olive oil container). The hot and cold deli counters offer a wide variety of Italian options - everything looked delicious! I opted for a prosciutto, mozzarella, and fresh basil sandwich on focaccia. The saltiness of the prosciutto with the creaminess of the mozzarella was perfectly balanced. And the whole fresh basil leaves just enhanced the flavors. Don't forget to check out the small dessert case by the register! The pistachio cheesecake with ricotta was worth the trip! Again cannot recommend this store enough, you will not be disappointed!

BUT - I was disappointed the other night when I went with 2 friends - got separate checks. I'm including the picture so you can figure it out. It said cash price and non-cash price - included the tax. So I get it - was a couple of dollars more to use my credit card. But when I got the bill to sign after my card went through it was another couple of dollars- and I hadn't put the tip in yet! I asked my server and she sort of dismissed me saying that they calculate on the total bill and walked away! Which the cash and non cash totals were the bill!! It's not about the money but I hate to be nickel and dimed like I'm stupid. Makes my think twice about going back, which is a shame betting was on of my favorites on Federal Holl.

It's a little over a mile from Down City Providence and about the same distance from Federal Hill. It's located in a quiet neighborhood and has a small parking lot on the side of the restaurant and plenty of street parking. The restaurant has a local family feel to it; we liked the atmosphere. We were greeted by Armando, the owner and chef. He provided background information about his new restaurant and his experience as a chef in the Providence area. He also explained that the Porchetta was homemade and that he'd cook anything on the menu to our exact specifications. He'd create a dish, sandwich, combine different plates, etc. Our party of four ordered: * Porchetta & Eggs with Breakfast Potatoes $15 * French Toast with Strawberries and Whipped Cream $12 * Omelet with Breakfast Potatoes $10 * Chicken Cutlet Sandwich $16 I ordered the Porchetta & Eggs, and requested the eggs be prepared as an omelet. This dish was very tasty and nicely prepared. I also tried the fried chicken cutlet, which was hot, tasty and nicely executed. All plates were completely consumed, and all diners agreed the food was excellent. Our brunch was only $78 with tip, we thought the prices were very reasonable and the meal a great value. We look forward to our return!
