Providence Restaurants

Providence is home to many restaurants, from fine eateries and local favorites. With Johnson and Wales University, a fine culinary institute, located directly in the city, there has spawned a wonderful array of dinning choices.

Executive chef, Tim Kelly, has brought together a fusion of regional American cuisine with flavors from Asia, at Cafe Nuovo in Providence. This fine restaurant is rated exceptional by Frommer's.

If delicious grilled pizza and Italian cuisine sounds enticing, check out Al Forno. Known for its wood-burning ovens, Al Forno utilizes the region's farms, markets and produce.
