    Chicken Parmigiana
    Mary R.

    I have to be honest I was excited to try this place. Everyone said it was the best chicken parm. I thought it was ok, I wasn't like oh my god. Wings were good tho!

    My friend told me about the popular Buns and Bites influencers trying it out, so then I tried it out too. The portions are HUGE which is great, and the chicken parm comes with two hearty sides. So a friend and I were able to share the whole meal. This was great on my wallet because the whole meal costed me personally 12 dollars! Driving up to the location you may think you're lost, but you're in the right place, it's like an old fashioned venue location. Inside they have office chairs at the bar!??! It seems like this location draws in the older crowds as my friends and I were definitely the youngest in the place. The server was SO nice! I'd come back here to try the tortellini!

    RI Food Fight- Lord of the Wings 2025 Review: Pink Vodka Wings. One of the reasons I appreciate Tomaselli's is the variety of wing flavors like pink vodka sauce wings! I haven't encountered this anywhere else. When i have wings, I am looking for a punch of flavor to enhance the wing. The pink vodka needed a little something, maybe even salt. It had a nice flavor but subtle. Their garlic parm and BOURYAKI are DELICIOUS! So may flavors to try, not enough time...

    This was our first stop for the RI food fights wing challenge. We got the buffaque and they were amazing, just the right amount of crisp and they were bursting with flavor. We sat at the bar and immediately felt like we were in an episode of cheers. Everyone knew each other and were super welcoming to us first timers. We also got the chicken parmigiana dinner which could easily feed a family of four, came with two sides. We are already making plans to go back next week for wing night.

    A casual location for a good meal. I had the eggplant Parmesan and my husband had the chicken Donatella and both were delicious. Portions were large so we both took leftovers. The service was excellent. They had live entertainment as well.

    Who even knew this place existed? I didn't. Set in the Silver Lake section of Providence this place is part Elks club (that's the vibe it gives off) and part shooting location for a gangster film. Half expected to see two guys lugging an overly large and awkward bag out to the dumpster. But they're participating in Lord of the Pies so I popped in to check out their pizza and I was unexpectedly surprised at how good their pizza was. Mike was behind bar and explained his family owns and runs it. Very friendly and generous. And who doesn't want to sit in an executive office chair at a bar! Cool place. Gotta come back

    Undercooked and tough like bad veal

    I love this place, their wings are so damn good and creative. However, I ordered chicken parm($18.89) and I was disappointed. Yes, it's massive but it was chewy and tough. The first bad sign was when I couldn't cut it with a fork, then there was some resistance with my knife as well. The bottom 1/2 of the chicken was under cooked in spots as seen in one of my photos. Not sure what went wrong because all the Yelp reviews on the dish say it tastes great and is juicy. Hopefully they don't freeze their chicken or re-heat it, but maybe I just got a bad cut. I'll be back again though, especially for those wings.

    I visited Tomaselli's for the RI Food Fights burger competition. Parking is outside the venue in a small strip. I was a little thrown off by the event hall. Upon entering, I see many empty fancy white tables. My first instinct was to walk out because of how weirdly empty it was. All I could think was, "Am I in the right place?" Further in, there is a small bar with people watching three large flat screens. My first impression was employees on their break. Someone noticed me and I was told that was where you sat for food. Definitely very different. Walking over I noticed the bar was surrounded with puffy comfortable computer chairs. It was the most comfortable bar seats I every sat in. It was definitely the most interesting bar set up I've ever seen. The servers were incredibly nice and must get the awkward "am I in the right place?" question from people often. They have a pretty big menu and a long list of burgers. I ordered the Salt Late Islander. The burger was topped with bacon, american cheese, lettuce, tomato and thousand island dressing. The patty tasted exactly like a giant meatball. It was surprisingly very juicy and seasoned very well. I definitely enjoyed the burger. I wouldn't expect good food from a place like this. I thought it would be cheaper quality. I'm glad I decided to stay and try the food. I am curious to try more from their menu. I heard they have some of the best wings in RI. Now that I know where to go, I might make that my next meal.

    I have eaten here a couple of times. It is a bit deceiving when you first walk in because it is also appears to be an event hall so it looks unlike a traditional restaurant. Don't run out, stay because it is worth it. I have had the Bouryaki Wings both times I have visited and they are great! Nice mix of Bourbon and Teriyaki flavor. The wings were perfectly cooked and there was even a little extra sauce left on the plate to re-dip them. The fries were excellent and I was with folks that got the Tony T's Italian Grinder and said it was as good as it looked! I was only marginally impressed with the pizza I had during RI Food Fights, but everything else I have had has been great. Some of the best wings around!

Their pizza is NY style thin crust (YUM) and though you can order a typical Margherita pizza, I highly suggest looking through the specialty pizza options. We got the G.O.A.T. Pizza which comes with mozzarella cheese, goat cheese, caramelized onions, herbs, and hot honey drizzle. It's even better than it sounds. This was the perfect combo of garlicky savory cheese and sweet honey with the tiniest kick. I could have eaten the entire large pizza on my own. I'm in RI for one more week and trust that I will order this again. I also got the 10 piece order of wings with BBQ sauce and was so pleasantly surprised to see it came on top of caramelized onions! It was there in the description, but I missed it. They were so good I was picking them out by hand and enjoying them. The wings were thick and full of meat. They had an option to get them extra well done, but I love exactly how they came regularly. I would definitely order these again. Overall, super impressed. Highly recommended!

I can't eat cheese and I'm always grateful for pizza shops that offer vegan cheese and a good pizza. Just because I can't eat cheese, doesn't mean I want to eat a lame pizza. And this place delivers on a great vegan pizza! Whether you're vegan, lactose intolerant, a meat lover, vegetarian, or gluten free - there is something for you and this is your sign to order pizza for dinner tonight. They also offer catering, I used them for work before too. Super convenient and easy to work with.

My friend and I…read morewere hungry around 11:30 pm on Friday night and this was one of the few open spots in the area with affordable good food. There was street parking and at the time, it was free. There were about 4 parties inside when we walked in, which gave us some time to think about which slices we wanted. We eventually went with the arugula, cranberry, balsamic drizzle, and I think feta along with the spicy sun dried tomato. The slices are pretty big and they do put them in the oven before handing them over. Each slice is about $4-$6, but you can also order whole pies. There was seating inside, but the air conditioning was too strong, so we found a table outside. Before stepping out, we poured ourselves cups of complimentary water. The crust is crispy and thin so you really get to taste all the toppings. The arugula one was really good. I enjoyed the different flavors: sweet, salty, creamy, acidic, and surprisingly, the arugula was not overly bitter. The sun-dried tomato one was also good. I am typically not a fan but this one was good since the tomato wasn't tough, or overly acidic. I would highly recommend Fellini's for great food at a good price. I would consider this location to be better for quick trips, or take out to eat the food at the Pedestrian bridge, but they do have another location in Cranston which is prettier and bigger for sit down, family style, and large groups.

    We stopped in while spending time at Level99, but unfortunately the experience was disappointing…read more The service was subpar from start to finish. The bartender barely made eye contact, and when I ordered a spicy tequila soda, I was served with Tajín sprinkled on top--not exactly what I'd expect for a spicy drink. The food was equally underwhelming. The pepperoni pizza came out with the pepperoni completely burnt. When we mentioned it, we were told that's simply how they prepare it, so keep that in mind if you order pizza here. The wings were decent and had a good amount of meat on them, but that was about the only highlight. The nachos arrived swimming in grease, making them difficult to enjoy, and the toppings were just average. The French fries were another issue--they appeared to have been cooked in the same fryer as seafood. This wasn't disclosed, and the fries came out tasting noticeably fishy. Thankfully, I don't have a seafood allergy, but that could be a serious concern for someone who does. The ambiance was fine, but overall the food and service left a lot to be desired, and I wouldn't go out of my way to return.

You walk into the space & the first thing you see is a gauntlet with swinging "axes" that you need to run through without getting hit! I kinda wish everyone had to do it to gain access but it is one of the many fun games/adventures from Level99. The special menu was $25 for a pizza & 2 beverages. Upon recommendation of our delightful server Kobe, we opted for the Hot Mess: ezzo cupping pepperoni, piri-piri sauce, fresnos, queso fresco. Pizza is Detroit style & the edges were perfection, I could have used a bit more sauce but the piri-piri drizzle was fire. We both had a glass of wine. We were in the mood for a nightcap. I selected a coffee stout, Jolly Woodsman by Banded Brewing. Our server asked if I wanted a taste before ordering a glass, I was happy that I took him up on the offer - it wasn't my favorite. I was laughing with him that hubby & I are beer weirdos - we like the lightest & the darkest beers. He offered to bring me a taste of the Night Shift Brewing's Imperial stout, Dynasty. And along with that, he also brought the two lightest Night Shift Brewing beers. We loved all three of them! I would definitely go back for the pizza & the beer but the games are calling my name!

The venue is fairly big and can host a good number of parties. The place is fairly loud if that's a consideration. For food we shared a plate of muscles and a pasta. The pasta was huge for a portion size so we were glad that we didn't order too much since we weren't too hungry. The food itself was pretty good. My 2 star review really goes to the service that I experienced that night b/c it really coud have been better. When we finished our muscles, a woman came over to clean up and clear our plates. She dropped one of the knives on the table and then proceed to drop the sharing plate into the plate of red sauce that the muscles were in which splashed my face and get over my white tank top. All I got was a sorry and she walked away. As I was trying to clean my own shirt with my nakpin with the water from my cup the waiter asked if i needed a alcohol wipe and gave me a new napkin. I wasn't addressed the rest of the night by the server so instead of making up for the issue, they avoided it. It's a strange way to handle a poor situation and I wouldn't recommend going back.
