My mom found this restaurant and decided it was a must-try while we were in Newport for the folk festival. I wasn’t feeling so great before we headed to dinner so I thought I should be cautious about what I ate. That was hard with the deliciousness that was about to come out.
It’s a cute little house with a few small rooms. Very cozy. Lots of tchotchkes all over the place but well kept and clean. The waitress was such a sweetheart and so accommodating. There was a full page in the menu for veggies – couldn’t be happier! We ordered the bruschette which only included two pieces of bread so she offered to provide us with 1 1/2 orders (3 of us) instead of having 1 or 2 full orders. Thanks for thinking about us waitress, we truly appreciate your effort. It was perfectly baked and delicious. Moving right along to my entree. I had the Ravioli di Zucca (Butternut squash and cheese filled ravioli with roasted peppers, sage, butter and pine nuts). It was excellent. The perfect amount of food, sauce, filling, cheese – everything. It was like heaven in my mouth. I was super impressed.
I have nothing excellent things to say about this fine establishment. Five stars for ambiance, service, food & price was even reasonable. We went here twice in three days and look forward to going back again next year when we’re in Newport.
