Guidebook for Providence
Food Scene
This is our favorite restaurant in Providence. It's a bit expensive but the food is always fantastic. Some of our favorite tips:
* The grilled pizzas are amazing (and a Rhode Island specialty) - try the corn pizza if it's in season!
* Grab a spot at the upstairs bar where they also have full meal service for an intimate, cozy experience
* Make sure to order one of their famous tarts at the same time you place your main order since it takes ~45 minutes for them to make it

If you're in the mood for some solid American diner food it's tough to beat this spot in Wayland Square. Parking can be tough over there but you can usually find it behind the West Elm building that is nearby.

We're from Texas where there are no shortage of great burger joints but this place gives them all a run for their money. Get the classic sliders with cheese, a side of fries and a craft brew or soda and enjoy (make sure to add a third!).
