The restaurant sits inside the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) hall, and honestly, that's part of the charm. The place was buzzing -- tables full, people talking story, everyone enjoying big plates of comfort food. No fancy décor, nothing pretentious... just a warm, home‑style vibe that makes you feel like you're eating at someone's house. Parking was a breeze with plenty of open spots. No valet, no meters, no hassle -- a small detail, but it makes the whole experience even better. The service was excellent. The staff was moving nonstop: delivering plates, refilling water, clearing tables, keeping everything flowing. Our server, Ashley, was friendly and awesome, and she really set the tone for a great dinner. They start you off with a basket of bread and butter -- simple, classic, perfect. For an appetizer, we had the fried calamari with hot peppers, and it was outstanding. The combo of crispy calamari and the heat from the peppers was spot‑on. For mains, we ordered the Chicken Parmesan and Veal Marsala, and both dishes were delicious. Huge portions, great flavors, exactly what you want from an Italian‑American comfort spot. If you're into big portions, authentic Italian‑American food, and a homey, old‑school vibe, Mike's Kitchen is a must‑try. You will not be disappointed. Cash only. Easy parking. Clean. Awesome staff. Home Vibe. Great food!

My first Providence Restaurant Week menu this year! How is it that I have never been to Angelo's…read moreRestaurant?!?! We ate like royalty for $44.83 for two people (before tip). I had to double-check the bill because it felt impossible for the amount of food we got! We started (and ended!) with a Paesano - a Burgundy & orange soda cocktail for $2. Yes, TWO DOLLARS. Light, refreshing & honestly kind of iconic. To kick things off, we shared a bowl of pastine (also only $2). Simple & comforting, exactly what you want at the start of a classic Italian meal on a cold snowy winter evening. We also ordered french fries that were not part of the special menu but zero regrets becuase they were perfection! For entrées, we both got chicken parmesan with spaghetti - a total steal for $12! No exaggeration, the chicken cutlet was bigger than my hand & made for two full meals by itself. Crispy outside, tender inside & perfectly sauced without being soggy, topped with their house gravy (a/k/a a classic red sauce). I normally skip dessert but how do you resist a $2 option. My guest ordered the mini cannoli with a crisp shell & sweet creamy filling. I opted for a slice of ice cream roll, Warwick Ice Cream vanilla with colorful sprinkles. Both were nostalgic & delicious. Start to finish, this meal felt like stepping into an old-school Italian spot where portions are huge, prices are shockingly low & nobody leaves hungry. I'm officially a fan! NOM NOM NOM #YUM

Angelo's is always a great deal, but never more so than during Providence Restaurant Week…read more My dining companion and I enjoyed a wonderful meal there last night. We started (and ended) with a tasty Paesano, a Burgandy & orange soda cocktail ($2) served in an adorable little glass. We shared a bowl of Pastine ($2), teeny tiny noodles in a bowl of rich chicken broth, which was so warm and comforting, along with an order of their fabulous fries ($7.50), which weren't on the specially priced menu but were oh so worth it. We each ordered Chicken Parm with spaghetti for our entrees ($12). The portion was huge, as always, with plenty to carry home. The thin cutlet was perfectly cooked and topped with cheese and the excellent house gravy. Yum! I ended my meal with a mini cannoli ($2), which was filled with more of a whipped cream than the regular thick cannoli cream. It was good, but not as good as I had expected. It was my only disappointment. My friend had a slice of ice cream roll ($2). And we both finished with our 2nd Paesano. Our server was great. We were happy to park in their plowed attended lot as street parking was practically non-existent. The restaurant was pretty much empty when we arrived shortly before 6PM, but was packed when we left at 7. They do take call-ahead seating, which I would recommend.
