Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in South Kingstown

We hadn't been to Trattoria Romana in quite a few years, and having had a wonderful meal last night, wonder why. We don't usually go out to dinner - preferring lunch instead - but were in the area and decided to try the restaurant again. The ambience is great - we were seated in the room away from the bar, with wood paneling. Service was excellent, and the menu larger than any other Italian restaurant we've been to in Rhode Island. We tried an appetizer that was different from any we've had before - cheese wrapped in prosciutto, then sauteed, accompanied by salad greens, artichokes, peppers, and olives. Delizioso! We both opted for a seafood main course (though the pasta dishes all looked wonderful) and enjoyed the Shrimp Alio Olio as well as the Shrimp and Scallops in a tomato, cognac, and cream sauce. My husband and I rarely eat the pasta, but we sopped up every last bit with the delicious sauces. Bread was served, which is rare these days. The wine list and cocktail menu were substantial and we both found drinks that we enjoyed. Our entire meal was outstanding, and we'll definitely be back!

Really great place! Food and service were outstanding. My wife and I had the filet which was perfectly cooked and was very tender and delicious. Drinks and ambience were great,

Everything was exceptional.....great food and great atmosphere!

First time in newport and this restaurant was an excellent choice for dinner on the water. All the staff were attentive and really made the night special, the food was delicious!

First time in the anchor room and it was an experience to remember. Made reservations for my anniversary and got exactly what I asked for for seating arrangements. Definitely recommend the lobster ravioli
