Markos Kabob and More

Cheap eats for the masses
Though many years have passed since I patiently had to explain what “pita bread” was to local supermarket managers, it’s still not that common to find a Middle Eastern restaurant smack in the middle of small-town Rhode Island.

La Luna

A place to snack and chat
La Luna hovers above Thayer Street, not quite in the sky, but above the horizon, in a manner of speaking.

OV’s

Manhandling the munchies
Consider it much more than a promising start for Hovannes, or “Hovik,” Dolarian, better known as “O.V.” to the faithful horde of hungry regulars who fill OV’s Restaurant, an easily accessible, toaster-oven sized diner on Allens Avenue.

Mamma Luisa

Just like she used to make it
OK, I’m prejudiced, but to me the maternal factor trumps all others in rating Italian restaurants.

Neath’s

Still a tip-top performer
Recently pondering where to take out-of-town guests for a special dinner on a WaterFire night, we came up with Neath’s.

H2O

Inventive, with room to grow  
Taking a cue from the waters of Newport Harbor lapping at their deck, owners Tom and Jody Whittington have run with the marine theme for their new restaurant.

Stella Blues

Grateful spread
How can you not like a restaurant named after the chef’s favorite Grateful Dead song?

Anthony’s Cucina

Keeping it real
Over the past year or so, Father Time has forced my hand from the ball court to the golf course.

Bliss

A cornucopia of delights
What a great idea — a breakfast-and-lunch café that doubles as a small whole-foods market.

Moda

A winning way with food
Chef Jules Ramos has a winning way with restaurants.

Nicola’s

Imaginative and memorable meals  
When you visit Nicola’s in Westerly, you’ll be treated to a history of two Italian families, beginning with the hostess’s question when you call for directions: “Do you know where Capizzano’s used to be?”

Efendi’s Mediterranean Grill

The food you rub your hands over is only half of the meal.

The Commons Lunch

A winner returns
My appetite for jonnycakes at the Commons Lunch increased with every mile during a recent Sunday morning drive to Little Compton.

Wiley’s

Hot time in the summertime
In the early ’90s, lines of hungry hopefuls used to stack up at breakfast time when Wiley’s was a tiny 10-seat place at Middlebridge in Narragansett.

Ristorante Pizzico

A longtime standout on Hope Street
Friday night is a hopping time on the East Side, so the competitive spirit among restaurants gets turned way up.

Clarke Cooke House

A delectable midday bargain  
On sunny summer weekends, when Thames Street is choked with tourists, Newport can be a good place to avoid restaurants.
By BILL RODRIGUEZ  |  June 13, 2006

Mario’s

Another Italian standout in Cranston
Maybe there’s a city ordinance about it, maybe it’s not wanting to let the home team down, or maybe it’s that ethnic tradition of making us a menu we can’t refuse.

L’Epicureo

Upscale Italian proves exquisite
From the minute when a Federal Hill butcher shop with deli seating was transformed into a white-linened trattoria, L’Epicureo set new standards for elegance and excellence.
