We absolutely love this restaurant. We went with our neighbors at 5pm. The place was backed so a little on the noisy side but quiets down later in the evening, The food is consistently fresh and innovative. They have daily specials and I had one of my favorites braciole. My husband had the veal francaise which i one of his favorites. I can honestly say I have never had a bad meal at this restaurant and we have been going pretty much at least once a month for 8 years. We have done the brunch and holiday meals and have never been disappointed. I only gave the service 3 stars but let me tell you typically it is 5 stars. We had a new waitress who was friendly and attentive. She needs to polish a few of her skills, we had to ask for spaghetti spoons and a steak knife. Typically the most seasoned wait staff anticipates all these needs. I am sure she will improve the with a little more experience. Bottom line this is definitely one of the best Italian in RI.
