Before I start my review, let me introduce myself: I grew up in an Italian-American family and neighborhood in Rhode Island. My grandparents came from the Southern Italian villages of Caserta and Acri and passed down a love of food and generations of family recipes. My late father wrote a food column for the Italian Echo newspaper in Providence, R.I., for many years. I have dined at some of the best restaurants of Boston, New York, Chicago, Miami, Los Angeles, and everywhere in between. Now, I want to highlight some of the eateries in the Mount Washington Valley’s ever-growing dining scene. As a final note: I receive no compensation of any kind from the Sun nor the restaurants I review.
