    Chicken Parmigiana
    Mary R.

    I have to be honest I was excited to try this place. Everyone said it was the best chicken parm. I thought it was ok, I wasn't like oh my god. Wings were good tho!

    My friend told me about the popular Buns and Bites influencers trying it out, so then I tried it out too. The portions are HUGE which is great, and the chicken parm comes with two hearty sides. So a friend and I were able to share the whole meal. This was great on my wallet because the whole meal costed me personally 12 dollars! Driving up to the location you may think you're lost, but you're in the right place, it's like an old fashioned venue location. Inside they have office chairs at the bar!??! It seems like this location draws in the older crowds as my friends and I were definitely the youngest in the place. The server was SO nice! I'd come back here to try the tortellini!

    RI Food Fight- Lord of the Wings 2025 Review: Pink Vodka Wings. One of the reasons I appreciate Tomaselli's is the variety of wing flavors like pink vodka sauce wings! I haven't encountered this anywhere else. When i have wings, I am looking for a punch of flavor to enhance the wing. The pink vodka needed a little something, maybe even salt. It had a nice flavor but subtle. Their garlic parm and BOURYAKI are DELICIOUS! So may flavors to try, not enough time...

    This was our first stop for the RI food fights wing challenge. We got the buffaque and they were amazing, just the right amount of crisp and they were bursting with flavor. We sat at the bar and immediately felt like we were in an episode of cheers. Everyone knew each other and were super welcoming to us first timers. We also got the chicken parmigiana dinner which could easily feed a family of four, came with two sides. We are already making plans to go back next week for wing night.

    A casual location for a good meal. I had the eggplant Parmesan and my husband had the chicken Donatella and both were delicious. Portions were large so we both took leftovers. The service was excellent. They had live entertainment as well.

    Who even knew this place existed? I didn't. Set in the Silver Lake section of Providence this place is part Elks club (that's the vibe it gives off) and part shooting location for a gangster film. Half expected to see two guys lugging an overly large and awkward bag out to the dumpster. But they're participating in Lord of the Pies so I popped in to check out their pizza and I was unexpectedly surprised at how good their pizza was. Mike was behind bar and explained his family owns and runs it. Very friendly and generous. And who doesn't want to sit in an executive office chair at a bar! Cool place. Gotta come back

    Undercooked and tough like bad veal

    I love this place, their wings are so damn good and creative. However, I ordered chicken parm($18.89) and I was disappointed. Yes, it's massive but it was chewy and tough. The first bad sign was when I couldn't cut it with a fork, then there was some resistance with my knife as well. The bottom 1/2 of the chicken was under cooked in spots as seen in one of my photos. Not sure what went wrong because all the Yelp reviews on the dish say it tastes great and is juicy. Hopefully they don't freeze their chicken or re-heat it, but maybe I just got a bad cut. I'll be back again though, especially for those wings.

    Salt Late Islander: burger was topped with bacon, american cheese, lettuce, tomato and thousand island dressing.

    I visited Tomaselli's for the RI Food Fights burger competition. Parking is outside the venue in a small strip. I was a little thrown off by the event hall. Upon entering, I see many empty fancy white tables. My first instinct was to walk out because of how weirdly empty it was. All I could think was, "Am I in the right place?" Further in, there is a small bar with people watching three large flat screens. My first impression was employees on their break. Someone noticed me and I was told that was where you sat for food. Definitely very different. Walking over I noticed the bar was surrounded with puffy comfortable computer chairs. It was the most comfortable bar seats I every sat in. It was definitely the most interesting bar set up I've ever seen. The servers were incredibly nice and must get the awkward "am I in the right place?" question from people often. They have a pretty big menu and a long list of burgers. I ordered the Salt Late Islander. The burger was topped with bacon, american cheese, lettuce, tomato and thousand island dressing. The patty tasted exactly like a giant meatball. It was surprisingly very juicy and seasoned very well. I definitely enjoyed the burger. I wouldn't expect good food from a place like this. I thought it would be cheaper quality. I'm glad I decided to stay and try the food. I am curious to try more from their menu. I heard they have some of the best wings in RI. Now that I know where to go, I might make that my next meal.

    I have eaten here a couple of times. It is a bit deceiving when you first walk in because it is also appears to be an event hall so it looks unlike a traditional restaurant. Don't run out, stay because it is worth it. I have had the Bouryaki Wings both times I have visited and they are great! Nice mix of Bourbon and Teriyaki flavor. The wings were perfectly cooked and there was even a little extra sauce left on the plate to re-dip them. The fries were excellent and I was with folks that got the Tony T's Italian Grinder and said it was as good as it looked! I was only marginally impressed with the pizza I had during RI Food Fights, but everything else I have had has been great. Some of the best wings around!

The menu has so many great options that it was honestly hard to choose. I ended up ordering the Mexican Steak Burrito Bowl, and it did not disappoint. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful, and the steak was tender. I was also given both the red and green hot sauces, and they were delicious additions that elevated the meal even more. I also tried the California wrap with fries. While it wasn't my favorite item, it was still decent. The chicken was a bit saltier than I personally prefer, and the wrap wasn't as filled as I expected. That said, everyone's tastes are different, and it wouldn't stop me from coming back. The restaurant has plenty of seating, including a bar area if that's more your style. Parking is also available, which is always a nice bonus. The only thing worth noting is that your food may take a little time to come out. However, considering how fresh and flavorful everything was, I felt the wait was completely worth it. I visited around lunchtime, but after looking through the menu, the breakfast options sounded amazing. There were several items that caught my eye, so I'll definitely be back to give breakfast a try. Overall, a great experience with friendly service, plenty of menu options, and some really flavorful dishes. Looking forward to returning.

Favorites are the vegan bahn mi (with fried tofu and cashew pate, crunchy picked vegetables) the cardamom pancakes and the cheddar biscuits. Biscuits are huge and buttery with a moist interior and a crunchy outside. The pancakes are the biggest pancakes I've ever seen! They were bigger than our heads. We got three to share for the table but honestly one would have been enough. Cocktails are strong and the bloody mary was perfectly spicy. Service can be a little slow at times but was friendly and helpful. The music can also get loud and voices echo when it's busy. So don't bring your noise sensitive friends. Make sure you have a reservation as it can get crowded!
