Atwells Ave. has long been known as the "Little Italy" of Rhode Island. A walk down this street will transport you to a small town in Italy, complete with large fountain at it's center. As you might guess, Italian restaurants are quite prevalent in this area. But you will also find several cigar bars and hookah lounges along this very densely packed hospitality strip. This street comes alive on weekends and especially at night.
Pro TIps:
- Parking can be a nightmar, so either park&walk from a nearby street, take a cab in, or make sure your restaurant of choice has a valet.
- Due to heavy competition, many restaurants offer deals during the year. Find out via their website if there are any current offers or check groupon or restaurant.com before going out for the night.
