Restaurants near Providence Athenæum

The tradition continues!!🎉🎉Every December Richard and I have our anniversary dinner at Capriccio’s. This year we are a little late but it was well worth the wait. As always the dining room is absolutely gorgeous as it is decorated to the nines. We arrived and were seated in a prime location -right by the fireplace. A phone call earlier in the day assured us that we wound be able to secure two orders of their baccala salad for our appertizers. Richard ordered a bottle of Moet Chandon Imperial Rose and the evening was off to a fine start. As we enjoyed our first course, our waiter began to prepare our entrees tableside. Fettuccine Alfredo and Steak Diane. Both were prepared perfectly and the presentation was show worthy. Richard had the special for the evening-Alaskan cod with mango salsa and black lentils. A piece of cheesecake and coffee finished the meal perfectly. It was an evening of serenity, fantastic food and drink and love. Pure magic🪄.

Great food great service but unfortunatly we were sat in a weird spot in the corner with tables so close it felt like I was closer to other people the person I was dining with.

The atmosphere was warm and inviting. Food was cooked to perfection. I had the short ribs and my girlfriend enjoyed the seafood risotto. I’d recommend them both! We also loved the maple crème brûlée for dessert. The drinks were also delicious (reposado margarita without the heartburn, and the red sangria with fresh fruit). Bryan provided top notch service. We will be back to try the steaks that looked out of this world.

Wonderful food and a great location. Steaks are wonderful and probably the best calamari I’ve had.

As always, Circe was fabulous. We ate pre show at PPAC, as I’m sure most diners were doing at that time. Food was delicious and came out promptly. They clearly know how to keep it moving even when everyone orders at once on a deadline. I love the atmosphere here and personally prefer the upstairs. Excellent service as well.
