Looking for a restaurant in Providence that will impress your date this Valentine’s Day? Here are three restaurants well worth checking out for Valentine’s Day 2023.

Red Stripe

Address: 465 Angell St, Providence

Located in Wayland Square and just minutes from Emblem 125, Red Stripe is an “American brasserie,” which is essentially a modern approach to the traditional European-style, French cafe. Here dishes like Grilled Swordfish, Lemon Rosemary ½ Chicken, and Duck Confit are cooked to perfection but if you’re coming for lunch, we highly recommend one of the salads, like Everything But The Kitchen Sink (gluten free) with a grilled salmon addition.  Learn more about Red Stripe in Providence.

Pot au Feu

Address: 44 Custom House St, Providence

If you really want to impress your date this Valentine’s Day, opt for the special champagne toast. Perhaps, it would be a good idea to warn your date, though, as the restaurant’s owner will soon arrive at your table to open the champagne not by hand but with the help of a sword. 

That’s just one tradition at Pot Au Feu, which opened in 1972 and has been a city favorite ever since. But remember, Pot au Feu is “old school,” as the owners mention in a not so Yelpster-friendly warning. Learn more about Pot au Feu.

Joe Marzilli’s Old Canteen Italian Restaurant

Address: 120 Atwells Ave, Providence

Speaking of old school, if you thought Pot au Feu spurred nostalgia in Providence, visit Joe Marzilli’s Old Canteen Italian Restaurant where Joe has been serving the best Italian cuisine since 1956. 

With dishes like Lobster Fra Diavolo, Boneless Chicken Saltimbocca, and Italian classics like Baked Lasagna and more. Learn more about Joe Marzilli’s Old Canteen Italian Restaurant.
