Sabitado Pizzaria

Reviewed By Scooter105

Sabitado's Pizza has been a staple in Tiverton for well over ten years now, (estimated). They have the friendly staff, great pizza, and limited wait time when you walk through the door and order a pizza. Sabitado's is a time tested pizza restaurant that has proven itself over the years for quality food, service, and prices.

Carmella's Pizzeria Middletown

Reviewed By Jerseyboy1965

We looked for a pizza place near our hotel and we decided to give Carmella’s Pizzeria a try. We were not disappointed. The pizza was delicious and the staff were very friendly. The restaurant was extremely clean and we would definitely eat here again if we find ourselves in the area in the future.

Ida's Restaurant

Reviewed By Deedubu67

Noticed it while driving by on our way to another restaurant. Looked it up and realized it is a revival of a Newport landmark...Puerini’s. They reopened as Ida’s about five years ago. The restaurant is meticulous with warm welcoming staff. The menu is vast with lots of options for sides with your entree. We chose stuffed mushrooms with sausage and fontina cheese, lasagna & Ida’s curly shrimp. For our sides we chose spinach with garlic and oil. Food was promptly served, steaming hot by Olivia our outstanding server. We will definitely return.

Roberto's Restaurant

Reviewed By Cwayne C

We called for a last minute reservation, and found the response to be most polite and accommodating.From our arrival to departure, the service was first class to say the least.The food here is wonderful, specifically the Faroe Salmon which is to die for.We can't wait to go back again for another totally relaxing experience. Should you decide not to try this fine restaurant, it will certainly be your loss.

Trattoria Romana

Reviewed By MRVEGAS711

Trattoria Romano in Tiverton Casino is Excellent Italian Food. We enjoyed salads before our meal and they were quite filling. A Caesar salad is an entrée size portion. My Rigatoni Zinga was perfect and her Clam Chowder was good, but could have been warmer. Our server, Kimberly, did a great job. Would definitely dine here again.

Reviewed By Cam_Bob

Leo’s has always been one of my favorite restaurants and our dinner on July 4th was exceptional. While my husband and I were waiting for a table, owner/chef Paul Mancieri told us about one of the days’ dinner specials. It was grilled swordfish over white risotto, topped with blueberries and strawberries (very Patriotic) and served with grilled asparagus. Once seated, we decided that we wanted to share the swordfish dinner and asked Adriana (our waitress) if it would be enough to share. She reassured us that it would be.We ordered our drinks and my favorite soup Pasta Fagioli and my husbands’ favorite New England Clam Chowder.OMG!!! When our dinner arrived, not only was it enough for both of us but it looked so delicious and the aroma was fantastic. After taking a bite of everything, we both agreed that we made the right choice.Paul and his staff are always eager to please & the food is always fresh and tasty.You can never go wrong with whatever you choose.

Valley Inn

Reviewed By Jadbo

I've driven past the Valley Inn hundreds of times and just assumed it was, well, an "Inn". While looking at Portsmouth restaurants on Trip Advisor, I saw my mistake. It has been a restaurant operated by the same family for decades. We went for an early dinner on a Saturday night. Now don't be put off because the building needs a little TLC, it does have a lot of character! The dining room is cozy in a kind of colonial rustic theme with old beams, a large fireplace and the a decent sized bar. The owner came to the table to welcome us soon after we were seated and came over again as we were finishing to see how we liked it. They have live music on weekends too.We started with a Margherita pizza as an appetizer, with the three of us eating all but two slices. It was delicious but we soon regretted having eaten so much. The menu prices may seem a bit steep but then you realize that everything is included. You get a stuffie, salad and soup with your entree so pace yourself! The French Onion Soup by the way is excellent. I had the Baked Haddock special, my wife had the Steak au Poivre (a really big cut) and our son had the Pan Seared Scallops. So glad we stopped by, delicious!

Pomodoro Pizzeria

Reviewed By bklynbiker

Geez, the place is admittedly tiny, and it was a terribly stormy night, so the space limitations presented problems for the staff in terms of folks, like us, waiting for a table. For an hour, or more. The worst part was the 'host' (using the term loosely..) who became increasingly diffident bordering on rude the longer we waited. First it was 'can you stand over here?' shunting us off to a tiny few feet of floor space (3 adults..). It's BYOB, so when my friend said "What would make this much easier (after maybe 40 minutes waiting..) is if we could get some glasses for our wine?" "No, we can't do that until you're seated" was the brusque reply. Can't? Or won't. We were inside, the place has no liquor license, so there's clearly no restriction about where the bottle we brought was opened. I've been to places where they bring you free glass of wine outside on the sidewalk, for heaven's sake, when the wait is that long, and they apologize as well. This dude just sort of ignored us, increasingly with the passage of time. Finally when we said 'we're going to go somewhere else' he sort of grunted a 'yeah' or some such, not an "so sorry for tonight, please try us again another time OK?" (yknow, 'hospitality' industry it's called?) Nope. Barely an acknowledgement. Though it was unsaid, they don't need to worry about us giving them another chance some night. Our friend who brought us there has gone often, and also stated she won't be returning.

We are a family owned and operated pizzeria with delicious Italian/American food. Stop in and enjoy some complimentary garlic knots while you dine in. Chat with our friendly staff and feel right at home. Mangia!

Reviewed By Plato H

I drive by this place every day going to and from work. Never stopped in. I have had their food when friends have bought it and shared. I finally stopped in. What a great place and amazing food. Had the chicken parm sandwich, a slice and a calzone - all absolutely fantastic.Saw some other dinner dishes that people were raving about. The staff was super polite and checked in on patrons a lot. Were friendly, joked with customers and overall put out a great vibe. Well worth the stop. I will without a doubt stop back in more frequently.
