15 Essential Restaurants in Providence, Rhode Island

"Cozy and dimly lit, Broadway Bistro feels like the perfect neighborhood spot — but with food that’s worth traveling for. Now in its fifteenth year, it’s the kind of place you can rely on for a laid-back yet special-feeling date night. While much of the menu changes often, some staples, including the must-try app ribs and grits with orange soy marinade, are always available. Rotating entree options range from crispy lamb belly with sweet corn risotto to swordfish with summer succotash and roasted duck leg with braised kale and creamy polenta." - Jenna Pelletier
