RESTAURANT REVIEW
With Providence firmly established as one of the country's top restaurants, Michael Cimarusti decided it was time to pay homage to his Rhode Island roots, so he named this bustling seafood restaurant after his grandparents. Using mostly fish and seafood that is flown in daily from New England, Cimarusti calls on his mastery of seafood cookery to construct versions of dishes like Rhode Island Stuffies (clams broiled with linguica sausage and breadcrumbs) and a live New Bedford scallop broiled in garlic butter that are well beyond the type of preparation you'll find at your typical seafood restaurant.
