The restaurants in Fed Hill have the best Italian food. Head over there for lunch or dinner while you're in town! You can't go wrong with Caserta's pizza or Venda Ravioli for a quick bite. Costantino's and Cassarino's are some of our favorite restaurants for a sit down meal.
Right next to Brown campus, Thayer Street is a great spot for shops & food. If you are passing through, definitely check out Baja's for the best Mexican food in town!
For those extending the trip, Newport is a great vacation spot 45 minutes away from Providence by car, an hour long ferry ride from Providence. Check out the Cliff Walk, the mansions along Bellevue Ave, beautiful beaches, and the fun bars and restaurants in downtown Newport.
The Cape (depending on where you go) is 1-2 hours away from Providence. Another great place to vacation in the summer time!
