TORI at the bar! WOW! We had a girls night out for 2 and TORI absolutely served! We mentioned that we were going to be splitting some plates assuming that they’d bring some empty plates out for us, but instead they had it served in mini courses! It was so much fun and we felt like we were getting a special dining experience. My friend got an espresso martini and I had been commenting about how classy it looked and how I’d wished I was more of a drinker to partake and TORI whipped me up the most delicious espresso mocktini. We’d come back just for the experience alone, def recommend! In case you were wondering….their name is Tori.

Met a few friends here for dinner one night. and we had a wonderful time! the staff were great and the food was delicious! Normally I'd go for the pasta, but the salmon was just calling me and it did not disappoint! We also got a Nutella pizza for dessert and it could easily feed 3 people, if not more.

My boyfriend and I have been here 2 times now and have had Jess both times (downstairs on the bar and upstairs) she has been absolutely amazing both times, wicked sweet and amazing drinks! Food was so delicious. Almost got the same dish both times but decided to switch it up and I wasn’t disappointed. Can’t wait to come back again.

Love an Italian meal that feels hearty and homey. Delicious afternoon. Order the bruschetta al pompodoro, lasagna bolognese and bucatini cacio e pepe. Yum!

Sal & his team at Pasta Beach Providence went above and beyond for my last minute 15 person reservation to celebrate my sisters bridal shower. Service was OUTSTANDING. The food was absolutely delicious, fresh authentic italian food. If you ever are considering hosting a small party at this location, please rent out the upstairs. It’s the most beautiful intimate setting. Beyond pleased with our visit and we cant wait to come back!

My family had an amazing dinner here this summer! I started off with a cocktail off the seasonal drink menu and it was so refreshing. I got a chance to talk to the bartender who created it about our mutual love of bourbon. We shared some great appetizers - meatballs and eggplant. Our main dishes were even better. Our sons ordered pizzas. They are unbelievable: the Polpettina with huge meatballs and Prosciutto di Parma with thick slices of prosciutto and balls of fresh mozzarella, the quality and quantity of the toppings are amazing! I had a pesto pasta dish that was very fresh tasting. The desserts are all made in house. Our family loves tiramisu so I can only comment on that and it was among the best we’ve tasted. Sal, the general manager, stopped by our table and talked a little about some of the updates they’ve made to the menu like making their own pasta! All of the staff we interacted with: host, server, bartender, manager were a delight. It was a great night out with my family and I can’t wait to return.

My sister & fiancé surprised me with an intimate and absolutely breath taking bridal shower at Pasta Beach Providence. Sal and his team did an outstanding job. All night, our guests were complimenting the space, food, service, and overall atmosphere. The private room upstairs allowed us the chance to play some fun bridal shower games and take many pictures without bothering anyone else. We got our own personalized set menu and it was such a nice touch! Again, the food was phenomenal and we can’t wait to come back!

Awesome first time here for a quick late lunch on a Sunday! The food was excellent, the wine was smooth, and the vibe was casual and friendly. Definitely will be back!
