Side Mashed Potato with veggies
Greg P.

Outstanding dinner at Bella's tonight. Food, service & atmosphere were simply perfect. My wife started with a Caprese Salad which she loved with fresh local tomatoes. I started off with two meatballs and Ceaser Salad. Both were delicious. For dinner I had a wonderful Baked Stuffed Shrimp with a Ritz Cracker stuffing. I made the mistake of not getting a side of pasta instead of the mashed potatoes with veggies as a side though. My wife had Gnocchi which she also enjoyed. We were having a such a wonderful time we both got dessert. I had Carrot Cake and my wife got the Lemon Cheesecake which were both delicious. Overall a fantastic dinner and we will definitely be back! Ask for David or Lori who helped us In the beginning . Both were awesome!!!

Bruschetta
Samantha J.

We attended a family gathering here a bit ago and were sitting in a semi private area with dedicated wait staff. The servers were very friendly and attentive. We had a pre selected menu that was at each of our seats. The apps were calamari and bruschetta which were both very good. We had the choice of salad. The caprese salad was a large serving and very fresh. We had a choice of multiple dishes for dinner. Portions were large so you could have a good meal to take home for later! The vodka pasta was good and they had bread & butter on the table as well. They have a ton of desserts to choose from and everyone had a good reaction to what they ordered. Their espresso martini was also very good!

Pollo Parmigiana ... look at that bright gravy
David S.

Food: supreme Service: your delight is all their intent Ambiance: clean; romantic; classic The Chef has been here for many seasons. The consistency and quality are undeniable.

Tiramisu
Matthew V.

The outside of the restaurant does not do justice to the inside. We felt a little under dressed even though the waiter said not at all. The staff were very friendly and very quick, and there were a good amount of servers on staff. The food was delicious, awesome local Italian option! The chicken parm was light and the cheese was smooth, topped off with a tasty red sauce. We had a tiramisu for dessert, very light texture and smooth, great end to the meal! The prices are a higher than your average Italian restaurant, but we both thoroughly enjoyed everything we ordered. Worth it I think

Caesar with anchovies
Betsy G.

Wow! Service was immaculate, Josh was our server. He was as attentive, personable, patient and just all around awesome. They bring some yummy bread to your table and some olive oil for starters. We then ordered the calamari, it was lightly breaded with great flavor and the perfect texture. Their Caesar salad is so great hands-down, one of the best ones in Rhode Island (besides stadium pub) They also give you the option of having anchovies in your salad. I think it balances it perfectly since the Caesar dressing is rich and the saltinesses adds something very nice to it. The main course however, speechless. The Gamberi Cardinale is officially my favorite pasta, I got it with the linguini. It has a sweetness to it that is addictive, it's creamy, flavorful and the pasta absorbs the flavors that... just do your self a favor and order it. Thank you for this great experience. We will be back

Food is good but the outside of the building is in serious disrepair. The roof should be replaced. Looks all patchy.

We had an incredibly wonderful experience at Arrowhead Acres. We were married at the Chapel in the…read morePines and had the reception at the Rustic Barn. Dave and Vicki were so helpful from start to finish. We had all the information we needed on the first visit, plus lots of recommendations for other vendors. (We used the caterer they recommended and they were also phenomenal!) They answered emails quickly, were accommodating & friendly, and made the planning process easy. The ceremony setting was charming and woodsy and magnificent. The Rustic Barn area was just what we wanted. Outdoors with a covered roof, next to a roaring campfire, near the animals like donkeys & goats & peacocks & a pig. We fit over a hundred people and a dance floor, and everyone had a blast. Lots of different places to mingle and things to do - there was even horseshoes & volleyball & other games. We had so much fun. (There is also an indoor area for events - we chose the outdoor option) This was also one of the less expensive places we had researched (I originally found it on a message board about *cheap places to get married in mass*) and feel so lucky we found it. It's affordable and totally lovely. Highly recommend.

Dave ( the boss/owner?) was great most of the way through, but when he left on vacation, he didn't process a payment ( I was paying early to help him out), and then got angry at me when I was trying to get in touch with someone else (who didn't know what was going on) to repay in the days before the wedding (when I was managing 1000 things). That is one example of the communication being not always the best, in other words, but Todd and Lori were very kind and they helped us out so much at the end of the reception with breakdown. Also, their policy of cleaning the barn the day of the event, such that we could not get in to decorate early, made things hard...and the hovering of the staff, and getting angry and people making mistakes about where the bar was, etc, was not great. Overall, a good experience...you just need to super-communicate and be ready to deal with some rather rustic people.

We fell in love with her, the house, everything including the murder-by-mail story behind the house from the 1800s. About 2 weeks before the party we called Kaitlyn and told her it was going to turn into our surprise wedding! She continued to be so helpful and excited, giving recommendations for all kinds of vendors we'd need. The day of the party she was professional and hands-on, making sure everything got done on a quick timeline. She calmed nerves and had great suggestions on where things should go to make sure everything flowed just right. Our rental price included some tables and linens she had available, and some glassware too. It was so perfect from the start and we couldn't be happier!!

Beautiful historic building who's tour guides added in a true life murder mystery of the lady of the houses death. This really added to the event as it was so my scene and absolutely fun. They also had a whiskey tasting since she was poisoned with whiskey which is ironically amazing. I would def host an event here because unlike the Newport mansions I could touch things and see things in the midst of being historically preserved since they're still restoring the house. Open Doors RI has found a new regular customer :)

All around awesome!!…read more Excellent professIonal Service!! Thank you Christalight!!

Very unprofessional since day 1…read more We had an appointment to check the place out and the owner nabely did not pay us much attention because she was "busy", and she did this at every appointment but we decided to go with the place because it was beautiful and had everything we needed. So we thought. we Went with the smallest package because I wanted to decorate myself. she said " your wedding is destined to fail" because I didn't wanna pay the extra $4000 just for her to decorate?? she said the oven came with the hall Then days before my wedding she told me the racks in the oven were gone because someone else rented them. So we had to Buy some. months before the wedding I told her in great description what tables i Wanted to use and how I want them set up. Day of the wedding comes along and she has the completely wrong tables out which messes up my whole seating chart so I had to have my family run around and move all the tables around, decorate and coordinate with the caterer. Thankfully they got it all done in time. Some things were messed up because they didn't have enough time due to the tables. my bridesmaid had to get dressed in the bridal sweet because she was nice enough to help set Up and the bridal sweet had a window wide open and Everyone could see her dressing if they walked by. ??? day of coordinator/owner Jason was on point the whole wedding made sure I had what I needed but at the end of the night when my family was done cleaning up he said " okay now get the fuck out my building". i would not recommend this place to my worse enemy.

I've been dying to try this restaurant after seeing reviews and finding out it's chef owned (yes!)…read more We had reservations on a recent Saturday afternoon at 3pm. The restaurant is small (only seats 48) so reservations are recommended. The restaurant is cozy and comfortable, there wasn't very many people while we were there so I'm not sure how loud it gets when busy. They have a full bar so I ordered a drink and my husband loves his craft beers and they had a few (but he always prefers if they have a beer menu so he can read the beer description). For appetizers we ordered shrimp cocktail and the meatball. The shrimp and sauce were delicious, and the meatball was HUGE (we almost could have a meal with that!!! The meatball came with lots of sauce and ricotta with 2 toasted bread slices (we devoured every bit!). For dinner we shared 2 entrees, we got the seafood casserole which came with choice of side (we picked baked potato) and a vegetable medley, and the southern fried pork chops that came with mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts. The food was so delicious we ate what we could and had to bring food home. Our server was excellent and very knowledgeable of the menu. This was one of the best places we've tried in a while. We eat out at least weekly and most places we don't go back for a second visit, but Lucky Dog Tavern will definitely stay on our rotation of places we love.

So if you ever wake up and find yourself sitting at the bar at the Lucky Dog Tavern on a Thursday…read morenight you may find me sitting there. Recently I became somewhat of a regular because the food and the service here is impeccable. Tonight, critically acclaimed server turned bartender Lilly, suggested that I try to Sausage and Bean Soup. Not only does she rank amongst the top three servers I have ever had in my entire life but she was 100% right about the Sausage and Bean soup. Get your car drive to Lucky Dog Tavern and all the time you're on your way there cross your fingers that the Sausage and Bean Soup is on the menu. It was beyond excellent. Just a giant mouthful of flavors expertly orchestrated. Otherwise, It's a gigantic gigantic menu but if the Sausage & Bean Soup is on the special absolutely have it. Take one home with you too. Before I forget to tell you everything on the menu is pretty excellent. But, Just for the record, I skipped over the lasagna. Have I ever lied to you!?
