REVIEWS OF Spumoni's IN Rhode Island

Lori Polkey

Food was good. Server was pleasant. Nice atmosphere. Very pretty wall art (scenes) and lighting.

Jason Cote

Have been enjoying this place for many years. Staple, Italian American food. Pizza is also pretty good. Similar to Olive Garden but, in my opinion better. The Italian bread is very authentic. Chewy crust tender inside.

Lorie Davis

Rene Fleurent

Nice place. You won't be disappointed. Type family restaurant

Brush Tank

Excellent food if they get the order right. 9/10 they will screw your order up. Past two times I ordered they gave me the wrong thing. Done with spumoni’s. Bella pasta is better and it’s down the road, I’ll be going there for now on

Daniel Bedoya

Really good food if you are looking for seafood or pasta definitely worth checking it out. service was friendly and attentive

Chris Mckenney

Excellent food and great service. 5 stars, always

J Ford

Good food, good price, just not r Ally sure why they out cold cuts on Italian subs and then toast it so the cuts are no longer cold... Otherwise it was good stuff

JAMES CHANDLER

Went here for Fathers Day and all 4 of us enjoyed everything from the delicious Calamari for our appetizer to the FruteDel Mare was fabulous!

Jocelyn Berthelette

Stuffed manicotti was rubbery like it was just a reheat. My drink that I ordered was way too strong. It was supposed to be a mix of vodka and juice, but I feel like I got straight vodka with a drop of juice for color. Drinking it was giving me a head ache. Will not be going back.

John Gonet

We had a great time and dinner tonight. Jill, our waitress, was really great. I hadn't been to Spumonis since I was a kid, about 15yrs ago, and tonight was a nice surprise. We ordered a the calamari app, the mushroom app, the Sicilian tour, and an assortment of their meatballs and sausages for the table. Delicious. Great night, great staff.

Hannah w

Best raviolis and cheese bread ever!

Lynn Dailey Dailey

I love the food here., Chicken Parm.is so delicious

Ryan Hennessey

You can't get better Italian Food in the area. Also, Bartenders are friendly, with great service and a heavy poor

Darlene

The food was delicious and always seems to be very consistent. As we were a party of 7 and our waitress had other tables she was waiting on, I found the service to be very good, but at times we were patient in waiting to get our server's attention as she was busy with her other tables, she was very pleasant, and very helpful, but I can not say the service provided was excellent, I'm sorry

Kell Bain

Prices are good, staff is very good, but food is hit or miss. Specifically, any dish with meatballs or the mix of whatever they use to make meatballs. I've been there twice, had the meatballs and Italian sausage the first time. The sausage was very good, the meatballs fell below the level of cheap frozen meatballs. The second time I avoided the meatballs and ordered the lasagne, made with Italian sausage, it was very good, except for the meat paste used in the layers. The waiter explained that they used the meatball mix, then added ground Italian sausage. That's not what it said on the menu! I wouldn't have ordered it had I known the meatball mix was in it. The tasty Italian sausage was entirely lost in the meat mix.This restaurant hinges on Italian food, it's been in business for decades, why cheap out on the meatball mix? I was told that their customers love the meatballs. Sadly, people get used to almost anything. Frogs in a pot are happy to be there and never notice as the water comes to a boil.

Matt Pina

I've never had a bad experience when coming here. Sue, the bartender is very charismatic and professional. Dave (w/ glasses) is another phenomenal worker. You will get great service, and in my opinion, enjoy your time spent here better with one of these two individuals. Not to knock the other staff, just these two have went above and beyond and have earned business.

Matthew Collard

This is a local favorite... and the reason for the success comes from upper management and works all the way down to the "bus boys". Everyone is extremely kind, friendly and they really take the time to get to know their customers. The service is great, the energy is awesome, and the food is fantastic... whether you want appetizers, like stuffed mushrooms, or a pizza to watch the game with, to chicken parmesan... you cannot go wrong!

The pasta was good. The service was great!

Mathew St. George

Awesome place If you are trying to eat imaginary food they have not been open for years but they were awesome

Jolie Camerota

Great place I had chicken fingers with fries a side of ketchup and for desert I had a huge brownie with vanilla ice cream and my uncle Joey had ice cream as well.

Chloe Tucker

We had reservations here so the wait wasn't an issue for a super busy Saturday night! But wow, it was packed, and for good reason. Everyone's food looked amazing, I ended up not getting an Italian dish and it didn't taste like an afterthought like most places' non-specialties do, it was delicious just like their Italian dishes, so props to them for putting the same amount of care into every dish! Drinks were good as well!

Raymond Burrows

A bit pricey but ok

Christopher Villegas

We have frequented this restaurant twice. The first time in 2018 during the holiday season. We were vastly disappointed. We figured we would give it a second chance and see if it had improved. It hasn't. Everything about the place screams outdated- from the decor to the smell. We can put that aside however and talk about what matters most: the food. I ordered the veal parmigiana, my wife ordered the baked scrod and mashed potatos. Kids ordered pizza and a burger. My veal parm was basically a sea of cheese and (canned) sauce smothering the overcooked veal. The burger was a flavorless overcooked frozen patty. My son took one bite and couldn't finish. The pizza tasted worse than the square pizzas you buy in the frozen section of the market. The scrod was so overcooked it was rubbery, and the accompanying reheated frozen mashed potatoes tasted like garlic with a side of reheated frozen potatoes. I normally try very hard to find one decent thing about a new place- this had nothing. The waitress was friendly enough but getting her to our table was a task in and of itself. I will also mention that this is not a place that seems to be frequented by an ethnically diverse population. This place will never be frequented by myself or my family again. Extremely disappointed doesn't even cover it.

Christine Faulkner

Still my favorite restaurant of all time. Great food and real nice comfortable atmosphere.

Robert Blair My

Disappointed , 1st time going here heard good reviews so gave it a try i got the chicken parm with spaghetti and for $17 a plate they should be serving real chicken breast not chicken pattys & the sauce was so plain tasting i didnt even eat , my husband ordered the fruit del mare & his seafood wasnt cooked all the way clams were still raw & he ask for red sauce with it but it was mostly whitish clam sauce he loves seafood & he didnt eat his food either .

Meghan Sawicki

I love coming here with my family! Last time I got one of the samplers because I couldn't decide which dish I wanted. They were all amazing and I can't wait to back and try other dishes too. The staff were all nice and food came out quickly.

Alison Auger

Favorite local restaurant, super delicious food. Great, friendly staff. Been going here since I was a baby and I will continue to go. The new renovation is over so they're back open and better than ever. Sometimes the wait can be so long. But it's much worth the wait because the food is so flavorful and teeny have great portions and reasonable prices.

Outcast

Didn't expect the buffet. Food was tasty but cold.

charlene volpe

First time customer. Food was good. Waiter was exceptional. I will definitely be back.

Jessica Bagley

Amazing food! I just haven’t been in a long time. Used to go with my father and since he passed I just haven’t had the courage to go again. But on a good note... I do absolutely love it here! Great family atmosphere

Marina Harris

The service and staff were very good. The Calamari , soup and chowder were good. I didn't enjoy the cocktail as much.They do give your generous portions.

Bob Whirlow

Nice meal. We haven't been here in a while, but will be back soon. Nice and clean.

Brandi Ferdinand

I have been going to Spumonis for years and I love it. Our waiter was odd as he seemed like he would have a great personality, but he was kind of rude and kept coming back to confirm the order. Oh well, I care more about the food and its always delicious!

Lynn Lawson

This was our first visit to Spumoni's and we were totally impressed! Our friends ordered seafood dishes and we ordered traditional Italian pastas - all was amazing ! Besides the food another highlight was our super cool, server James. He was friendly and personable and very good regardless of the fact it was very busy. We will definitely be back.

Lisa Labelle

I got Chicken Barcelona and it was absolutely fantastic. Huge portion for the price. Service was ok, nothing spectacular. But over all a very good dinner and experience.

Jacqueline Hebert

Good comfort food and great wait staff.

Fran Cirillo

Wonderful place casual and service is top notch! Everything is so good. Love it there!!

Gene Strezsak

buffet is awesome service is the only thong that i have issues with. i have been eating here for 35 years or more and service has been an issue the wole time , the food is the reason i come back

Crystal Clear

Super sized portions. Absolutely love this place I grew up coming to this restaurant my fav is lasagna or the apple crisp for dessert yummmy

John Crowley

Fantastic midweek 3 course specials with great we quality food. Had enough in leftovers for 2 more lunches. Great service and nice ambience. Will be back.

Peggy Damian

Good italian food

Bobby costs

The mens bathroom was disgusting, the food was 4 out of 10. Definitely didn't have a good experience probably wouldn't go back

Nate Norris

Oh boy, where do i start... The food is delicious and I've never had a problem with service. That being said, I put on a St Jude benefit a couple years back, part of throwing a benefit is getting people to donate gift cards or items for the raffle. Spumoni's not only donated a 50 dollar gift card, they told me to come back each time i am putting a benefit together and they'll do it again. Great atmosphere and even better employees.

LENIER ESPERANZA

Always a pleasure! One of my favorites

Kyla Duffy

Best chicken parm. Around. The sauce is unbeatable.

Shane Bricault

Mon - Thursday, a buffet you can't beat! Give me some green beans with drippings, teriyaki potatoes and baked scrod - NUMMY!

Alvaro Sales

Still good food after all these years. Used to live in Rhode Island, on vacation from New Jersey decided to stop by with the family and it's still good.

Glenna Mangana

Celebrated my birthday there among family and friends. I had a nice time. Food was good. The staff accommodated my vegetarian guests as well as special dietary needs.

Christina Marquez

Rated #1 chicken parm in the country so far (by my standards....and I have traveled all over the country)

Deb Cheek

I've been going there for over 40 years and l live there just the smell of the place is very enticing!

John Lenher Jr

Food and service was exceptional

Theodore Rusin

Food was good but poor service

Unholynut

I have gone here countless times for the weekday lunch buffet. Great value and great quality. That fish ( guessing its Cod because it's so flaky) with the breadcrumb topping is unreal .. I could eat that everyday!! Although it's a limited buffet menu all of the items taste great and always replenished, keeping it fresh and appealing. Staff are pleasant and atmosphere is good. What more can I ask for? Go give them your money and fill your belly!!

Hella Allen

Friendly staff good food and fast service, what else would you wont?

James Malloy

Salmon was super fresh!

Laurie Carroll

We ordered a corned beef Saint Patrick's Day special. The soup was just warm got cold quickly. Both all of our meals arrived promptly but we're both just barely warm, again got cold quickly. The meals and the soup were tasty, but would have much better had they arrived hot. It was obvious the bread was left out uncovered because all of the edges where somewhat stale and the middle was fresh. Our waitress was very nice. And checked on us accordingly. Possibly a mistake expecting an Irish dinner from an Italian restaurant?

Sue Morinville

Consistently good quality food.

John Hall

Good but not Italian, can call it that, doesn't mean it is.

Randy Nocks

Not expensive and generous portions!

Matt Dawley

I love Spumoni's. Been going for 20ish years. Always delicious.

Pat Sobaka

1st time we went here, very long wait WITH reservations, and very loud. Next time we went, we had reservations again, had to wait half an hour. We asked the hostess why it was taking so long because we had reservations, she said we didn't make reservations it was only a call ahead. So we ended up leaving and going to uncle tonys with no wait, sat down right away, no need for reservations or "call ahead". uncle Tonys is so much better!

Philippe Sigouin

My first visit, I took a group of my employees in for lunch. Excellent traditional Italian. The buffet got strong reviews from everyone who had it. The server was polite and efficient. I can happily recommend the restaurant.

Mark Soboda

Great food, reasonable prices and a nice atmosphere. Service is good, but they do get very busy so I would recommend it for a relaxed meal, not just a quick bite.

Kevin Donohue

I remember this place fondly, but after going twice recently for the first time in many years I can say the food was quite bad. I had salmon one time. The salmon was bland, it was nothing more than just a cooked filet. Completely and utterly plain. Something I could have easily done at home. The pasta side wasn't great, and had cheap flavorless parmesan. The second time I went I got a veal dish, which was just soggy and bad. Very disappointed both times.

Raymond Therrien

Great local Italian restaurant, great prices, service & food.

Jeff Collette

The food is very good but they can be very busy causing you to wait for 30mins or more. Although I suppose that's because of the good food....would give 5 stars but limited parking and prices make me feel 4 stars is most appropriate.

Rebecca Tanguay

Nice atmosphere, decor. Food was fresh.

billdelri

Monique Laplante

Mike Pereiira

Really good chicken parmesan

Laureen Finn

Lesley Beauregard

Food was very good. Service was very good.

Melissa Chalek

I was recently introduced to Spumoni's, and I love it. The decor is outdated, and I wouldn't recommend it to a true foodie. That being said, the food is delicious (just not inventive) and the staff is amazing and friendly. Their garlic bread is one of my favorites!

Reaper Smith

Good pizza I'm in a motel right next door I love walking through a lot late night or early morning and being followed by men I just wish they were all weren't so scared and would pull up on me and say nice things to me

Fabiola Mendes

Its a great Italian restaurant. With friendly service good food and great desserts. There is a upstairs for banqueta and its wheel chair accessible. The restaurant is huge and gets very busy. So sometimes you find yourself yelling so your party can hear you.

Scott Leavitt

EXCELLENT food and service

Tom Letourneau

Great atmosphere...on the Bar Side. Love their Veal Dishes when they serve you veal and not, mistakingly, chicken. Hey, mistakes happen and we all laughed about it. I was treated very fairly!

Tinamarie Tripp

They this place clean relaxing there food is out of this world. Relaxing and great service... Lg portations for there price.

Dalia Smith

We felt very uncomfortable. We were the only black family in the restaurant, and they seated us in the center isle. Everyone was staring as if we were some kind of spectacle. Thankfully we have very well behaved children. A corner would jave been nice where I noticed other families with small children were seated....We ordered the stuffed lobster and it had mostly breading and very little lobster. They charged us double.... $160 for someone elses bill...... and then charged us for our bill and we had to wait for a refund... suppose we didnt have enough to cover it? Then what? Next time we'll be going to Olive Garden. The bread is better.

Benjamin Joseph

Absolute garbage. I'm considering a chargeback on my credit card because I feel like I actually got defrauded. It's illegal to charge someone for food and then bring them garbage. Save yourselves. Go one mile down the road to one of the best restaurants in the state. The Heritage.

Dennis Charpentier

Very nice. Good Italian selections at reasonable prices.

Rodney Schuster

Good selection of Lunch items

Nicole Cimorelli

I got the Scrod Florentine. It was....meh. When this restaurant was called "Mama" Spumoni's... that's when they were second to none! Now, they're just OK.

Ron Gill

Excellent service and the food was very good

Gary Macreading

Great atmosphere. Friendly staff. Tasty food.

Hanzy's TV

This place is not worth it.I ordered a cesar salad the lettuce was dead soggy smelled like they used mayo instead of cesar dressing. The spoon that can with my soup was dirty.Never going back.

Allison Bernard

I just love this place.for the memories of meeting good friends here. They have some good specials and since I am in sales in Pawtucket a lot I like to stop here when I can.. it's reminiscent of good ole times.

Fancy Coach

One Sky One World Our Story

I always enjoy this place

Antonetta Andrade

Super friendly staff and great atmosphere!

Donna Houle

My friend and I stopped in for lunch. There was a buffet, we looked over the buffet and decided on trying it. The food looked and taste delicious, somehow the food was cold even though it was in the closed hot pans. My friends coffee was cold. I asked if the waitress could microwave the coffee, she said she'd make a fresh pot. It began to get busy, our waitress was busy with newly incoming people, therefore we couldn't talk to her about. My friend and I were happy we had a buy one get one. I'm not a complainer, I have learned over the years to speak up. We will go back again, we will get a meal off the menu, not the buffet!

Bob Sirois

Huge menu with a wide variety, and great portions. Service was excellent. The calamari is a must for an appetizer. We all tried the chicken Parmesan which was very good.

Helen DeVane

Sauce was very salty and overpowering.

Ron Marcotte

Have loved this place for a long time. It's a fav with my family too. Have used the place for meetings and parties. Love the weekday lunch buffet. Parking can be s little iffy during peak times. Their specialty is pasta but the seafood is really good.

Nicholas Bartish

The french onion soup and the service was great, nice quiet place on Sunday night.

Dennis Dossantos

Steven rapp

The food is amazing and very friendly staff. The atmosphere is very pleasant

John Chakouian

Good food ,good service!!

Dusty Wheeler

Great baked seafood dinner. Delicious

David Hunter

The good: craft beer on the menu, had the Ravenous, was excellent and was served in a cold glass. Bread was fresh and delicious. Entree was tasty, but pasta was not fresh cooked but reheated (nuked) and was slightly over cooked. Service is quick and friendly. Prices very reasonable. The not so good: upon entering the building there was an unknown odor near the host station. But it disappeared on the way to the table. There was a fly that kept flying around the table while there. While reaching for the bread noticed a fruit fly on it. Salad arrived with oil and vinegar as requested. Noticed things floating around in the vinegar. It is somewhat dark and dank inside the restaurant. The Verdict: not going back any time soon.

michelle gomez

It's a local pawtucket staple. Been coming here for years. The food it decent, the service is good with a welcoming vibe. And you can't beat the buy 1 get 1 free meal coupons that they send you once a month, if you sign up with your email. My go to meal is the chicken parm...can't go wrong with that.
