Causal but cool feel to this venue which is good for meeting friends or family for conversation over some great pizzas! Will be back to try a few more of their pizzas as not one that we had disappointed and the remaining items in the menu sounded just as good! Till next time!

Very fresh and honestly, very affordable for the aesthetic, quality, and taste. Plus the service is great. I've had their pastas, entrees, apps, pizza, and drinks and there is nothing you can go wrong with. My personal favorites is their kale salad, chianti marsala braised beef and mushroom tagliatelle. Again, the quality is great and everything is seasoned/ flavored well. Plus their pastas are homemade! They also give free bread, who doesn't love that? I cannot recommend this place enough. Perfect for a date night or night out with friends.

Every table and bar seat was packed so I highly recommend having a reservation or be prepared to wait a bit. The Romaine & Kale Caesar Salad with Chicken Milanese was genuinely tremendous. Such an elite combination from the freshness & creaminess of the salad to the crispiness and saltiness of the Chicken Milanese. Since we were sharing, they pre-split the portion for us which was a nice hassle-free experience. I could've honestly ended the meal here and been super content. I rarely see oven roasted pizza on the menu so we decided to try the Oven Roasted Chicken Grilled Pizza. The best part was actually the dough; it's thin enough where the roasted/grilled flavor comes through. The pesto and arugula were both good and paired well with the grilled chicken. The Tagliatelle was savory, earthy, and not overly creamy. The pasta itself was cooked just right. Since we were celebrating a birthday, I was so grateful that they offered us a complimentary slice of Limoncello Mascarpone Cake. It was so good! Moist, creamy, and not too sweet or citrusy. It was a pleasant bite to end the meal on. Great spot!

The first time I walked in I ordered a 10" cheese well done and a soda just to try it out. It should have been 14. When I went to pay for it it was just about $17. I had asked why so expensive? It should only be like $14. They told me I ordered a small and I told them I ordered a personal but they weren't hearing it and still charged me for the small. Whatever, I let it go, paid for it and left. It wasn't bad tasting but for the money there was almost no cheese or sauce on it. The second time I ordered I asked for an XL bacon, onion, mushroom with extra cheese well done. It took over an hour to be delivered and when I got it, it wasn't hot, it didn't have extra cheese, there wasn't much by way of toppings and it wasn't well done. That kinda sucks especially when they charge almost $5 for delivery and they also charge a $2 service fee on top of it. That's $7 extra dollars just for a delivery on top of the $35 for a pizza. I'm not saying not to order from there. I'm just giving you my experience that I've had the two times I ordered. The checks for food and service are generic responses from Yelp. I tried unchecking them but it won't let me. I did give it the two stars because like I said, it didn't taste bad but for what you pay, which is a lot; you should be getting exactly what you asked for.

We ordered a large cheese pizza, wings, a bowl of soup, & two meat lover's slices. The wings and soup arrived within minutes, but then we waited over 30 minutes for the cheese pizza & another 15 minutes for the two slices. It made no sense, especially with how quiet the restaurant was. During that time, no one checked on us, apologized for the delay, or refilled drinks. The biggest surprise came with the bill. There was an automatic 20% gratuity added for our party of six (!). We've eaten at countless restaurants & have never been charged automatic gratuity for six people (esp with our party being 2 adults, 2 teens and 2 kids). We were also charged $1.50 for a side of ranch that was brought out with the wings without us requesting it, plus $3.50 each for soda water from the fountain. The pizza itself was actually quite tasty, but unfortunately the poor service , long wait and unexpected charges brought the experience down

Waitstaff is kind and dutiful. Food is beyond delicious. I started off with their onion rings, which were one of their specials today. Perfectly crispy and tasty without excess grease. It came with a special "Outback" sauce, which tasted like a spicy version of thousand island dressing sans pickles; it was quite delicious. Rings were good with or without the sauce. For my main course, I got the Plumby's Crispy Chicken BLT. This sandwich is full of flavor. Like the onion rings, the chicken was fried to perfection and not overly greasy. Vermont cheddar and bacon add a savory richness and the chipotle mayo had just the right amount of spice. I couldn't taste the tomato and arugula much so this sandwich is a good way to help you eat your veggies. I also got a side of garlic mashed potatoes which were creamy, garlicky and buttery. This place has been in Newport forever because their food is consistently satisfying. I didn't get the following dish today but I also recommend their baked stuffed shrimp. If you're a daredevil, they also have a hot wing challenge. To put it simply, this pub has something for everyone and you will undoubtedly walk away impressed.

I loved everything about this restaurant except one thing, which I'll explain, and which caused 5…read morestars to become 4 stars (I wish I could just knock off a half star but that's not how it works, I guess): My next door neighbor Judi has a hobby of catching the Newport ferry from Providence, sometimes spending a few hours and coming back, or just staying on the boat and heading back, just so she can lean back in a seat and soak up the sun. Lately she'd been telling me about a chocolate martini from The Brick Alley Pub & Restaurant, and being the martini and chocolate fan that I am, I simply had to experience it. So I finally got a day when I could join her on a trip, and so we went there on Labor Day. Once there, we walked right in at 11:30 am, and were seated immediately. The interior is fun and interesting -- antique this and that, including a huge iron door that looks like it went to a furnace, and had embossed lettering, I believe it was Newport Highschool. Perhaps the restaurant location is where the HS coal room was originally??? Anyway, one the way to the table, the hostess said something about the soup and salad bar being over there to my right, and so I went to check it out, and once I took a gander inside the two soup containers, I grabbed a bowl of Portuguese Kale Soup and brought it to the table. Judi said "That's all you're gonna get?" And I said "Of course not, I'll grab some salad and maybe get a sandwich or something." "Oh" she said, and then got up to check out the soup and salad bar herself. Meanwhile as I'm slurping the delicious, heart y soup, loaded with chourico, potatoes, carrots, kale, beans, etc., I'm perusing the menu and I notice that it says that if you purchase a sandwich of $9 or more then you get the soup and salad bar for $10, and then the soup and salad bar alone was $18. Okay, so perhaps I just wasn't thinking about the world in which I now live that basically has you paying for the bread basket you might get served. But again, the hostess just basically slurred out something about the soup and salad bar and my brain heard that it was complimentary. I honestly have to wonder if that's part of the trick(?) to get you to go for it, and not realize that it's considered a meal in itself, and then you order a sandwich or whatever, and now you're paying twice the amount you thought you'd be paying, but hey, it's Newport and people are spending $40 on a stupid baseball cap. And so, you know, if you end up having to pay a bit too much at a restaurant, you don't make a scene, you just say "Yeah, I meant to do that". Okay, I'm trying not to be sardonic here, trying not to sound like one of those "everybody's out to get me" kind of folks, so I'll just shut up at this point, on this particular point. I just hope that the owners and/or managers will inform the hostess to be a bit more clear on what the soup and salad bar actually means. That'd be nice. So there was no way I was buying a sandwich to go along with the soup and salad bar -- I simply cannot eat as much as I did when I was in my 20's and couldn't gain a pound if I ate all day long. I was able to (slightly) save face once Judi went for the soup and salad bar herself and was satisfied with the freshness and deliciousness thereof. But the piece de resistance, the very reason we both came to this establishment in the first place ... the chocolate martini! So this martini looks nothing like you'd expect as clear as water. I believe it's got a vodka base, and then some creme de cocoa, and is showered in grated chocolate flakes. It was absolutely splendid! Nice and boozy without being overpowering, and the flavor was amazing. And then for some strange reason, Judi is looking at the dessert menu. She reads of a few of them, asking me if I'd like something like that. I keep saying "I'm pretty full Jude", but she was persistent. She especially was taken with the Ghirardelli Fudge Brownie with 4 Scoops of Vanilla Ice Cream. She said "What if we can get them to split it in half on two separate plates?" I said "Ohhhhkaayyyyy..." And our waitress said "Absolutely!" She came back with two large portions (see attached photo ... just remember, that's a picture of HALF of the dessert serving!). Oh my word! It was large and quite yummy. A nice, crunchy and soft brownie made with Ghirardelli chocolate, with plenty of walnuts therein, two lovely scoops of ice cream, all drizzled with chocolate sauce. A splendid way to cap it all off. So I'd go back again, just with the knowledge that it's EITHER the soup and salad bar OR a sammich, at least for a guy my age and size and appetite. But definitely for that lovely chocolate martini ... and maybe that fudge brownie to make it complete :)

We had such a great meal at Pasta Beach as everything we ordered was delicious. The Pesca Burrata Salad was a beautiful combination of sweet and savory. The peaches paired so well with the arugula and creamy whipped burrata, while the pistachios added a nice crunch. The honey and balsamic dressing was so refreshing and light which brought everything together perfectly. Their fried calamari was perfectly fried. The batter was light and crispy while the calamari was tender without feeling too greasy or heavy. I especially like the tomato sauce as the flavors were well balanced without being too sour. The Burrata Pizza was another standout. The combination of pepperoni, mozzarella, and creamy burrata was amazing and the hot honey added the perfect sweet and spicy finish. The creamy burrata balanced out the kick from the hot honey so well that I think this is my new favorite pizza combination. All the pasta was al dente. The Spaghetti alla Vongole was light and the clams were very fresh. The Tagliatelle alla Bolognese was rich and hearty.And the Mezze Maniche Carbonara was definitely one of my favorites. The creamy egg yolk, pancetta, black pepper, pecorino, and Parmigiano created that rich, classic carbonara flavor without being overly heavy. Overall, Pasta Beach is a great spot for a casual lunch or dinner. We loved being able to share so many different dishes, and everything came out flavorful and well prepared. The only thing I did not like was their bread service as the bread came out cold and there was nothing special about them. Our server was friendly and attentive. We would definitely return when we are in town again in the future.
