Café Nuovo is known for its location along the river and canal in Providence, as well as its upscale dining. But just because it’s a little fancy doesn’t mean it isn’t family-friendly. You’ll see many families with kids here.

Open for lunch and dinner, menu items include crab cakes, grilled pizza, sandwiches, pasta, seafood, steak, chicken, veal, lamb and more. The restaurant offers indoor and outdoor seating, as well, which makes it a great option for a late dinner during the seasonal WaterFire events. Just be sure to reserve a table in advance!

Café Nuovo is open for lunch from 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. It is open for dinner from 5 to 10:30 p.m., Monday through Thursday, and until 11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. It is only open on select Sundays throughout the year.
