- BEBobbyEBoston / New England •5 reviews5.0Dined on Jan 1, 2023Service was impeccable. Food was well prepared. My sister had the lobster crepe that she said was full of lobster chunks and she thoroughly enjoyed it. I had the crab cakes Benedict that was very good though the crab taste was strong, not to my liking but not Massimo's fault. Large portion of perfect home fries. Poached eggs and Hollandaise sauce were perfect We shared a plate of bacon as a side...it was sort of limp and had a strong smoked flavor. So, the only negative honestly was the bacon.More infoMassimo$$$$• Italian• Providence•4.7
- OTOpenTable DinervipBoston / New England •3 reviews5.0Dined on Jan 1, 2023New Year’s Day at Hemenway’s with my family—Great experience overall. We had the 2 lb. Lobster Fishermen, 2 lb. Lobster Mac and Cheese, Ellie’s Baked Stuffed Shrimp, and Scallops in addition to an array of appetizers, sides, and desserts. Everything was great. Scallops cooked to perfection. Probably should have gone with the 1 1/2 lb lobster for tenderness. And the cauliflower appetizer was confusing with a gray colored yogurt? Would like to see a return to the jumbo (not such small) baked stuffed shrimp. The shrimp, mashed potato, green bean entree has worked its way down from full-size plate presentation to a small bowl (for everything) in the center of a plate. Key lime pie is phenomenal. Best in New England! This restaurant is very special!More infoHemenway's$$$$• Seafood• Providence•4.8

Discover Rhode Island
Rhode Island may be the smallest state, but it is home to a delicious selection of cuisine types at the state's many cafes, restaurants, and bars. Brown bread is a food commonly served at many contemporary American restaurants. Of course, you can’t go wrong with the seafood dishes that can be found at the Italian, American and seafood venues. Caldo verde, or kale soup, is iconic to the area as well and is available at the local Portuguese dining establishments, reflecting the state's large Portuguese community. Another way to get a taste of the local cuisine is to order the stuffies or the Rhode Island calamari. To try out a dish that's a little bit sweeter, you could stop into an Italian restaurant and taste the appetizing doughboys.
