    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

    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

    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

    Not worth it, I would rather go to providence, the food isn't bad, it just isn't worth what you pay for it, way over priced

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.
