Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Providence

Lovely pre-holiday luncheon. Lots of choices on the luncheon and dinner menus. Excellent service. Good wine list, plenty of cocktails/special drinks if wine is not your thing. The "Presto" lunch is an excellent value: starter, main, dessert. Portions appropriate size for lunches.

We took Dad to lunch to celebrate his 95th birthday. The restaurant and all the staff went out of their way to make him feel special with welcoming birthday wishes. Our server was excellent and even treated Dad to Baked Alaska dessert, flaming rum and all, to mark the occasion. The food, service, and ambiance was fantastic and it made for a wonderful celebration. Thank you so much!

Special occasions at Cafe Nuovo always over achieve and our latest experience exceeded our expectations. The menu is always tempting, flavors were delicious and the entire experience was 5⭐️ Dimitri and his staff have only priority for their dining guests and that is excellence. From the creative New Fashioned bourbon cocktail at the bar, crunchy sushi appetizer to start, massively delicious Veal Chop and sides, to the delectable desserts and espresso, we all departed immensely satisfied!

Unexpected gem on the rivers of the quaint Providence town. Portions were unexpectedly large, and the food was just delicious. Only made better by great bartender… Absolutely will patronize the river bistro in the future. 

Nice variety on the menu (we had steak sandwich, fish & chips, sliders, fish tacos and more) and we enjoyed ourselves. Our server was attentive and friendly.
