Watch the boat’s come in while eating authentic Rhode Island seafood dishes. Clam cakes, “chowda” and “steamas," anyone?

Matunuck Oyster Bar

Sit at an outside bar or on the deck, while freshly harvested oysters are brought in to the restaurant for you to enjoy immediately.

Andino’s

Voted “King of the Hill” at the Federal Hill Stroll three years in a row, enjoy authentic Italian food on their secluded back patio. You may forget that you’re in a city.
