Best Restaurants In Rhode Island Sorted By Cuisine Type

Welcome to Home Is A Kitchen’s List of the Best Restaurants in Rhode Island sorted by cuisine type. It’s a given that I haven’t visited every restaurant in Rhode Island, however, I still maintain that this list is a great place to start for ideas or recommendations. There are, of course, many restaurants in Rhode Island worth visiting beyond those mentioned here and it’s important to remember that good food is often a preference.
