It's one of those shops that is just genuinely fun to walk around in, whether you're a kid or just a nostalgic adult. They have a massive selection...everything from the classic candies you loved as a kid to newer treats and even Sanrio/Hello Kitty items as well as imported Kit Kats etc. The novelty gift section is always entertaining to browse, I found a snippy plushie. the setup here was clean and well maintained. Pro-tip: It can get a little pricey if you aren't careful, so keep an eye on your bag weight! Overall, it's a high-energy, "giddy with joy" kind of spot that's worth a stop for the vibes alone.

They have typical American chocolate like Hershey's and Reese's. There's also some chocolate for adults like the Jack Daniels that's infused with liquor. There's a section that's 18+, that's for bachelorettes, and such, the naughty candy if you will. There was a ridiculous sign here that said "if you are under 18 don't look here", of course that's going to make any kid look. There were kids calling other kids to look at this section. There's also candy that's sold by weight, all of it looked dry and like it had been sitting there for a while. This store is very overpriced, everything is about doubled from what it costs at an average retailer. My friend had purchased some peach rings for us to share. They were rock hard, and stale. I absolutely do not recommend you spend your hard earned money at Lick.

They had jellybeans, gummies, chocolate, swedish fish and classic caramels and taffies. My son filled a pretty sizeable bag of goodies and it came out to less than $10. The owner was also very knowledgeable about the history of south county as a long term resident of the area whose family had lived there since the 1600's. It definitely felt like walking back in time to a historic piece of Rhode Island. Stop by if you're in the area and ask the owner for some stories while picking up sweets!

There's something about seeing the cooks working the line that adds another layer to the experience. It feels lively, energetic, and authentic. We started with a variety of appetizers because, honestly, everything on the menu sounded amazing. First came the bread service with two olive oils. The bread was light and airy, with just enough chew, and it soaked up the oil and sauce like it knew exactly what its job was. Next up were the meatballs, served in a rich tomato sauce with ricotta and shaved Parmigiano. The meatballs had a unique flavor thanks to the sausage mixed into the blend. They were tender, savory, and deeply satisfying. The sauce was chunky and well-balanced, just the right touch of sweetness without tipping into acidity. We also ordered the arancini, which came crisp on the outside and packed with umami flavor, helped along by the truffle sauce. One bite and you understand why these little rice bombs are such a classic. And then there was the cheese board, a nice variety that gave everyone something different to pick at between bites of everything else. For my main course, I went with the Pork Chop Giambotta. The pork chop was grilled beautifully, tender, juicy, and full of flavor. It was topped with a giambotta, a rustic Italian stew of vegetables that included fingerling potatoes, sausage, hot cherry peppers, vinegar, garlic, and onions. This dish hit every note on the palate, sweet, savory, tangy, and just enough heat to keep things interesting. One of those plates where every forkful gives you a slightly different combination of flavors. It was a great meal, made even better by sharing it with family. And the service deserves a mention as well. The staff was knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly accommodating, the kind of hospitality that makes the whole evening feel effortless. A great night all around.

No free bread at an Italian restaurant is a pet peeve of mine, total disgrace ... pasta is cheap, the least you could do is offer free bread. Also, we weren't provided any forks and had to forage our own from another table. Would consider returning if these items are addressed.
