We kicked things off with their fresh, in-house Gouda cheese that was literally made that day-YUMMO!!! Then came the shrimp.... I'll be honest, they didn't look like much at first, but one bite in and I was sold. Perfectly grilled, simple, and that pimento sauce was absolutely bomb. For the main event, we "split" the paella for one... which turned out to be a feast. We powered through and finished every last piece of rice because it was sooooo good. And dessert? Passionfruit mousse. I don't even like passion fruit, but this was hands-down the best mousse I've ever had in my life. The restaurant itself has a quirky, endearing vibe, kind of like walking into a summer party at your grandma's house, complete with fun, kitschy touches. It somehow transports you to old-school southern Spain but maybe that's just me. Jury's still out on the house wine, but with food this good, I'd come back in a heartbeat. Still gets a 5 from me. read more

Our favorite local go-to spot for Portuguese food. My husband and I will come here on date night, and more recently we came mid-week for the special. Bread, soup, entrees for two, PLUS a bottle of wine; all for $35.00! Yes you read that right. I am a bife a casa (Portuguese steak) aficionado, and if you are too, you won't be disappointed. Portions are generous; I always leave with tomorrow's lunch. Service is friendly and cordial. Highly recommend! read more

Amazing food and flavors. The chicken came with a chef special sauce that was fantastic. The chicken had a perfect char on it that added to the flavor. The steak and shrimp kabob with chorizo was cooked to perfection. Service was friendly and attentive. read more

Campinos - Shish Kabob a Marinheiro (some steak/shrimp already removed) and Frango no Churrasco wood grilled chicken - Portuguese Near Me - East Providence, Rhode Island

Awesome! We ordered Paella for two it was delicious and there was plenty. The Flan that we shared for dessert was the best I've ever had. Our waiter kept our bread basket full and suggested the perfect wine to go with our meal. This restaurant has a unique atmosphere. As you approach there are several patrons seated outside enjoying a beverage and sharing conversation. Directly inside is a popular cosy bar then further inside is a welcoming very nice restaurant. We look forward to returning! read more

Amazing waiters and the food was excellent! Authentic food with exceptional presentation. Will be going back again .

Old dudes hanging out and talking crap outside, regulars sitting at the bar sipping brandy and laughing, families leaving kissing the cheeks of the families that are living and hanging out just a bit longer. This place is the definition of a storied and beloved local establishment. Nestled in a neighborhood that is both simultaneously charming and weathered, this is the spot to be if you want an authentic tough and brotherly New England experience. I didn't know much about Portuguese food but this place convinced me it is one of the underrated cuisines of the world. The food is deceptively simple but the quality of ingredients is phenomenal. Clams that smell of the ocean cooked in a garlicky wine sauce, broiled shrimp and peppers, grilled octopus in an addicting sauce, awesome swordfish steaks. And the portions they give you are ridiculously large and a great value. I was here in vacation and ate here many times read more

My wife and I came in on Veterans Day mid afternoon and were seated immediately. Dining room was clean and neat and so were the rest rooms. Waitress was friendly and professional. We ordered little necks and chourico for appetizers. Pork meat with little necks and grilled octopus for the main course. Took a while for the food to come and you could tell that the reason for this was because the food was cooked fresh. Everything we ordered was served hot and was very good. We never had an empty bread basket. We left satisfied with the food and the service. I would not hesitate to return and I would recommend Campinos to anyone looking for a casual Portuguese Food dinning experience with reasonable prices. I don't have anything negative to say regarding our visit to Campinos...... read more

Went into this place recently, FIRST TIME EVER stepping foot into this bad energy, unprofessional environment, Not sure if they ever gotten used seeing a person OF COLOR walk up in the restaurant, staring as if Batman just came in. I went to pick up an order last FRIDAY, called in & gave it about 30 min before going to pick up the order they messed up on on top of making me wait at the door for basically 10 minutes & seeing me there but disregarding me complete service walking by & ignoring me. 2 people at that, A short man waiter with black hair & a lady who had front bangs & a pony tail. (Disgusting to even treat people like that going to your work place for food), This lady seesnme STILL STANDING THERE WAITING, comes by me rudely says "excuse me"to set down someones order & does not ask me if I'm all set or if I need anything so I rudely waved my hand saying "Hello um do you NOT see me here?" Then decides to attend to me, (Mind you I've been waiting 20 min total now & no order) . Whoever this lady is goes to the back then comes out & just stays quiet disregarding still..... I'm getting pissed at this point after seeing more people walk in AFTER ME! Yet this individual has had to be a LIGHT skinned complexion in order to be welcomed with respect & asked what they needed, again (Disgusting) it was the same waiterwho helped these people after walking back & forth also STARING at me! & didn't help. This horrible mistreatment is what I got from the moment I walked in then to leaving without no food nothing after I had to ask 4 TIMES! Just so they can say "Its being fixed" I have had it, I could've handled it much differently & Instead I said "F*ck the order" & walked the hell out. All set. I wanted to bring this up to owner & I did before I decided to come here & write this horrible review, Owner got on phone with me pretended to care & asked me to come in & I showed up few days later yet he didn't come out to chat also was told to leave my contacti info & still nada!, (I told him I'd show up), didn't want to take it on here but it goes to show you & I that this place has a RACISM problem!!! They don't like NOBODY of color supporting their place of buisness, not even my friends of friends, loved ones will be recommended! Got to stay away from the prejudice. read more

Stoped for lunch with friends and family, food was very good, we got Frango no churrasco mixed meats "Pico" and house stakes , topped it off with a piece of chocolate mouse cake and an expressos!! The only reason it doesn't have a 5, is that the service was a little slow and kids meal was just not good, frozen pizza bites out of a bag over fried !! read more

The family and I were in Rhode Island for a 3D ultrasound and decided we all wanted to get some Portuguese after. We found Campinos on Yelp and decided to give it a try. I like to judge all my Portuguese restaurants with how well they make camarao mocambique and Campinos aced it. The place itself is a little small and a little loud but the service was good. read more

Great soup and entrees. Generous wine pours. Service was friendly and attentive. Very much feels like a neighborhood restaurant where people greet each other like family. read more

Tiny and lovely atmoshere.....Great Portuguese food....Prices are cheap....fabulous seafood.....waiters/waitresses speak portuguese.......Affordable Portuguese Wine List......Campinos is on the warren ave. stretch....you could call the street the Federal Hill of Portugaul-- read more

First time at this restaurant. Very clean and crisp. Seated for lunch immediately. Waiter was professional, polite and attentive. Had the Pulvo Grehlado with Casal Garcia vinho verde. Meal was fabulous! A very "local" feel to the place, but we were treated like old friends. Can't wait to go back. read more

This place is horrific. I have been twice, the first time last year and most recently about 2 months ago. The calamari comes with a "seafood sauce" that is tasteless, no peppers, no nothing. Then.. I ordered the Pork and Potatoes, they charge you $16 for the meal but then decrease the size of the plates! They do not even cook it in a wine sauce, the sauce is more of a beef stock/ beef gravy packet, not even a hint of wine in it. I was so upset at the fact that they increase the price but then decrease the plate! I only had come here because Phillips St was on vacation, I will never go here again... ever. you are paying more for less.. that's all. read more

We visited this place for an early dinner this past summer. We were the only people in the place. All I wanted to eat was a nice portugese steak! After 20 minutes of waiting for our food, another couple arrived and their order was taken. Shortly thereafter, a waitress served the other couple our dishes!! This is the first, and only time they will see our faces there! read more

I'm a fan of any restaurant that offers really good and affordable food and especially wine. So dollar for dollar, I give it 4 stars due to the reasonable price/quality ratio as it beats most restaurant chains and in many cases healthier and cheaper then fast food/pizza joints. I have been told that they can be inconsistent in terms of quality and flavor... but they are under new management since then. read more

We had a party of 9, on a Tuesday night - just a group of friends - we get together once a year - and we were not only impressed with the food, but the service was fantastic. Appropriately attentive, not obsequious. The food was really fantastic, and the wine was decent - not over priced. We plan to go back for an encore. read more

It wasn't bad per se, it just wasn't anything special. I went here with my wife's side of the family as a relative from Portugal was visiting so they wanted to take him to a Portuguese restaurant. None of us had been here before so we didn't know what to expect; I had the pork and littlenecks and while it was a decent dish, they were swimming in a brown gravy sauce that seemed out of place (it's never served this way at other Portuguese restaurants I go to). They also served bread and butter with no plate so we had to put the rolls on the tablecloth...odd. My wife's grandmother didn't seem to be enjoying her chicken dish and she kept on trying to say that she just wasn't used to eating big meals late at night, but after I pressed her a couple of times she finally admitted that the chicken was dry (it certainly looked dry). There were a bunch of people playing cards and drinking beer outside when we were leaving...that looked like fun. Unfortunately though, this isn't a place I will go back to in the future as there are many better Portuguese food options in East Providence. read more

Came here for lunch with my dad. Steak and egg was delicious. Portuguese soup is phenomenal. 10/10 service from Brittney. I would recommend this place to anyone. read more

If you want delicious authentic Portuguese food, this is this is the place to go. Prices are very reasonable and the wine selection excellent. At the end of your meal be sure to order a unique Portuguese dessert with your esspresso. I recommend the Flan pudding or sweet rice or their famous "Baba de Camelo" (Camel's drool).Don't let the name fool you....it is fantastic. Enjoy some nice Fado music during your stay. read more

I have been here many times, a few because of family functions but mostly because We love the food at this restaurant. The food is really flavourful. I typically get a steak sandwich or a pork sandwich. Both are served with Portuguese fries and taste delicious. Another fave is the Picu Pao which is a trio of pork, chicken and steak in a lovely sauce served with fries. This is a place that my Portuguese family really likes too, the octopus is a favourite. The staff are really nice and the place is reviving itself to be even better. It's also a place to see friendly faces and have nice conversation. In short it's a really great place. Just make sure that you see it, it's small but lovely. -Erika G read more

Awful disgusting place.Dont waste your time.After waiting forever to be seated,then waiting forever for the food that can NEVER compare to O dinis.Sauce taste horrible.Bad meat after telling a friend I dined here,they told me they heard horrible stories of contaminated meat in their fridges(a source that use to work there told them) and meat that should not be next to other products.I will tell everyone and anyone how horrible the food,service and just generally the whole place.Gross read more

Tried this place last night. My son had grilled Octopus loved it! The rest of us had the traditional steak with egg all were delicious. I would highly recommend it. Wonderfully friendly, great waiter overall nice homestyle food. read more

Just... Wow! This place is fantastic. The decor is simple, but sweet and very clean. The service is warm and friendly and attentive; like you're family. And then there's the food; Oh My God, the food! We ordered paella for two. It was honestly the best paella I've ever had, and there was easily enough for four people (I'm a big eater, so that's no exaggeration). We had the flan for dessert. Again, excellent! It came with a liqueur drizzled over it (maybe Grand Mariner?). The prices are incredibly reasonable. Please don't tell to many people. read more

Best Portugese food around and really great prices. Portions are huge and service is quick.

It is a hidden food gem! The wine that the waitress recommended was delightful and the grilled octopus was huge! Delicious garlic olive oil was drizzled over it along with steamed broccoli and perfectly boiled potatoes. My husbands French fries along with the sizzling steak were great as well. I would definitely go back and enjoy more of items on the menu. Staff was very nice and attentive. read more

Ok soup and shrimp appetizer was good and hot. The main meal to a while to get I would say at least 20 min after we were down eating. The main dishes came out warm not hot at all. People sat down I would say 15 minutes after we did and got their meal first because it was easier to make and they had an appetizer. Now waiting 25 min for the check. Would I come back NO. read more

Very good food. Parking is tough. Lots of great stuff on the menu. Server was excellent, no rush even though is was busy at 2pm! Octopus was a little fishier than I'd like. Steak and the little Eck's were excellent. read more

I didn't know what to expect from a Portuguese restaurant in Providence. Usually I don't leave home, nevermind Fall River for good Port grub. This place was worth the trip! Port soup A+, shrimp and little necks combo appetizer A+, JUMBO spicy shrimp entree A+, rack of ribs A+ Port steak... A little let down with the lack of sauce and flavor... C. My take? I will definitely return and try more of the menu. Not to mention the waiter Tiago, his service was nothing short of examplary. Thoroughly pleased from the time I sat down to waddling my engorged self out the door an hour later. read more

If I could give this place zero stars I would. Made reservations for 8 people for 5:00. We were seated right away but that was about the only good thing that happened during this entire experience here. It took almost 20 minutes to even get a menu or even bread which we had to ask for. They had a set menu for the day which after waiting another 25 minutes to order we were told that almost everything we ordered they had run out of. I asked if this was they only menu they were serving and was told yes that's it. So we all had to settle for whatever was left. After waiting another 30 minutes for our meal which arrived in spurts. 5 out of the 8 meals that were ordered were wrong and cold. Another group of people arrived after us and took awhile to be acknowledged. After warning then about our experience so far they were about ready to leave until another waitress came over and offered them the full restaurant menu. Needless to say it wasn't our waiters fault but after complaining to him about all of our issues we weren't given any kind of resolution , apology or even a manager or cook to come over and talk to us. Never again. Don't waste you time. You'd be better off eating ramen noodles at home. To add to this... it is now 7:30 and we are still waiting just to pay for our awful meals so we can leave. read more

I was traveling across the US and stopped in Rhode Island for a few hours. Found this restaurant while searching for an authentic Portuguese restaurant. I was greeted in the parking lot by a local that eats at this restaurant often. Which is already a great sign. He told me that I was at the right place. He was so friendly and I felt great about my choice already. I had the grilled octopus with Portuguese potatoes and rice. My husband had the shrimp mozambique. The food and service was amazing!!! We are food lovers and we enjoy trying authentic food from different countries. Highly recommend campinos. Give it 5 stars all the way!!!! read more

The food here was amazing! I have no complaints. Great food, great service. I do want to apologize for my father who was here on 10/09/18. He was very disrespectful and caused a fit. Thank you for a great time, and I am sorry on behalf of my family and I. read more
