Best Romantic Restaurants in Woonsocket

When contemplating a restaurant for my birthday, Assados was my first choice. Boy, was I not disappointed! The food was exceptional, the waitress (Elizabeth) very accommodating for changes in the menu, and the ambience very friendly for a sweet get together with close friends. The fireplace was warm and inviting as well. Clearly the owners take pride in their restaurant and staff. It’s a gem!

We have been here several times and have always had a great experience. Reservations are a must on weekends. The bar is always crowded and energetic. Menu is big . Portions are fairly large and if you are a moderate eater you will have take homes for sure. Food is exceptional and varies from traditional Italian based menu? They always have specials . Our group of 4 had a hard time deciding because there were so many great menu options. Appetizers, bread, main course, and desserts were very good. This is a must try restaurant but because it tends to be crowded on Weekends be prepared for a busy and a little noisy atmosphere. The staff is very personable and attentive.

We’ve enjoyed another dinner at Alicante and it is our go to place for a guaranteed fantastic meal. Jessica waited on us and recommended a Cabernet that was outstanding. She took the time to discuss wines and offered other recommendations that we’ll purchase at our local store. Alicantes is a hidden gem in Mendon and I’d put it up against any restaurants in Boston and Providence. Well worth the trip.

We had a lovely evening. The service was top notch. Our server was extremely knowledgeable about both the food and wine. The other service staff was friendly, polite, and attentive. It was a great experience.

Valentine's Day Dinner - we did not attend the event; we just had dinner. The food was delicious. We had the short ribs appetizer, duck ragout, and pork shank. The pasta for the duck was perfectly al dente. Everything had a nice presentation. We were full without being stuffed. The drinks were good (the old-fashioned was a little watered down) and, while we did not get a smoky drink, it was fun to watch other guests have them served up. The noise level was just right for date night. This was our first visit so I do not know if that was because it was all couples or if that is their normal sound level. We will definitely go back.
