Italian Corner — Restaurant in East Providence

If you haven’t stopped into the Italian Corner, make a point of it! We were only 8 minutes from our hotel but after getting FOUR sandwiches for the 2 of us on Sunday 4/7; I’d drive farther!! This place was featured on Diners, Drive-In’s and Dive’s and I can see why it was recommended for the show. The team that works here is hardworking and incredibly helpful. I’d like to bottle up their kindness and spread it around. Good Job Team!! The owner – a pure delight!! We did eat one there, as recommended to not wait; good night, it was off the chart, de-li-cious! The Mortadella on Focaccia (#1), I think we need to go back to get a few for the plane ride home. The focaccia is crunchy on the outside but soft on the inside. The Mortadella is some of the best I have had. Major flavor and balance throughout. Monday, we ate one on the way to our next adventure – the Brasato (#25) (which was featured on triple D) and the owner’s go to when he’s hungry. Instead of using the salsa verde dressing it’s the salsa rossa dressing which is the verde plus sundried tomato’s and I can see why people as for that substitution on other sandwiches. Pares beautifully with the beef, fresh lettuce and house made sub buns. My only question, why did we get the small (ha). The (#16), Combo, is a beautiful blend of Ham, Salami, Capicola hot (but not too hot) provolone, fresh lettuce, and tomato. The provolone is not too overpowering. Our least fav, can we say least fav if we ate the whole thing? Lol. Still incredible was the Bresaola (#19), Cured beef tenderloin, truffle oil, arugula, shaved parmigiano. Next time in Providence this will definitely be a place we stop! It’s worth a trip back. Check them out! #ProvidenceRI #GoodFood #ItalianFood...

After having several delicious lunches here, I made a reservation for a Saturday night dinner. It took 6 months to get one. We had dinner on Dec 13, 2014. We ordered the deluxe antipasto which consisted of several imported salumi's, cheese, artichokes, and more. It was superb! We then split pappardelle with a creamy porcini mushroom and speck sauce. (Speck is a smoked prosciutto.) The homemade pasta was fabulous and perfectly cooked. The smokiness of the speck made the dish. For the main course I had rabbit which was pan seared and served with a light brown sauce over polenta. The rabbit fell off the bone and was delectable. LouAnn had a veal dish with porcini mushrooms in a butter and wine sauce served with roasted potatoes and rabe. It came out and the veal was cold. The waiter immediately took it away and they remade the dish. The owner/chef came out and humbly apologized. The veal melted in your mouth, the potatoes were perfect and the rabe was tender and delicious. Expect to take home what you don't eat as the portions are huge. Oh and it's BYOB. The food is one of the best I've had this side of the Atlantic! If you want a true taste of Italy, this is the...

I can not count the times I have been here for lunch, We did have my parents 62 wedding anniversary dinner in the function room, it was perfect, simple, and great food. But back to lunch, You a never go wrong with a sandwich, or a pre made meal ready to go. The deli is big enough to accommodate the troves of people waiting or ordering their lunch. I have had many sandwiches on the menu, and every single one have had quality ingredients, home made rolls, made inhouse dressings that make the sandwich out of this world. The prices are fair and reasonable, and the food is better than any "Italian restaurant". You can sit in the deli and have lunch, with a wall of imported grocery items, drink selections and a freezer with fresh homemade pastas to take home. Ive had the wine biscuits and they don't disappoint. if its a good Italian sub, or a fresh Italian dish to have for supper, give The Italian Corner a try, you'll come back...
