Rhode Island | Providence Check-In

A delicious and fun day checking out Providence’s top spots—from fresh oysters to iconic tarts, here’s what I loved! 🦪🍰 📍 Matunuck Oyster Bar 🦪 This spot is a seafood lover’s dream! We ordered two servings of both the Oyster Sampler and Grilled Oyster Trio—and they were incredible. The raw oysters were sweet and briny the second you bit into them, while the grilled ones were packed with rich, bold flavors 😋. We also tried stuffed lobster for the first time—inside, there were whole lobster claw meats, scallops, and shrimp! Every bite was juicy and satisfying—total seafood perfection 🦞. 📍 Pastiche Fine Desserts 🍰 I’d been craving their famous fruit tart forever—and it did not disappoint! I pre-ordered an 8-inch tart on their official website, and it was worth the wait. The fruits were super fresh, the custard was sweet but not cloying, and it sat on a crispy tart crust. As always, their quality is top-tier ✨! 📍 Rosalina 🍝 We indulged in Italian here, and every dish hit the spot: Crisp iceberg lettuce (simple but fresh! 🥬) Meaty Bolognese Tagliatelle (rich sauce, al dente pasta 🍝) Tomato & Shrimp Bucatini (tangy tomato sauce, plump shrimp 🦐) Ultra-tender Grilled Pork Chop (juicy, perfectly seasoned 🐷) 📍 Charuma Tea Bar 🍗 Craving savory snacks? This spot delivered! We got salt-and-pepper fried chicken bites and fried chicken cutlets—both were freshly cooked, juicy inside, and crispy outside. So flavorful, we couldn’t stop munching 😍! 📍 Brown University 🍂 We ended the day wandering Brown University’s campus. The autumn leaves added such a cozy vibe—strolling through the quiet, scenic grounds was the perfect way to wind down after a day of eating 📚. #RhodeIsland #RhodeIslandTravel #RhodeIslandGuide #RhodeIslandLife #RhodeIslandEats #RhodeIslandFruitTart #Providence #ProvidenceFood
