From the OpenTable editors: Gracie's has anchored Providence's Theatre District since the early 2000s, earning 16 consecutive years of AAA 4-Diamond recognition. Chef Matthew Varga's menu shifts with the seasons, but the rigatoni campanaro—sweet and spicy sausage, plum tomato, ricotta salata—stays put for good reason. Finish with the Madagascar vanilla bean crème brûlée. White linens, the warm glow of lamps, and rich wood set a mood that works as well for celebrations as for a quiet weeknight at this beloved gem from owner Ellen Slattery Gracyalny.

Executive chef: Matthew Varga

Philosophy

At Gracie's, our mission is simple: enhance and educate the palate with the freshest ingredients and flavors, while surprising and exciting each guest with personal care and service. To source the freshest ingredients, we update our menu seasonally to reflect the flavors of each season. By respecting the harvest's seasonality, we are able to focus on each ingredient at its peak.

Gracie's continues to be the best dinner in Providence. They do such a wonderful job from start to finish, and we couldn't be happier with every experience we've had there. My wife and I go for our anniversary every year and they really make it feel special; they even helped with a special request to make sure that we had the best night possible. Can't recommend Gracie's enough!

Me and my partner thought the food was absolutely disgusting. She ordered a steak and she had to use a butter knife to cut it because the knife that we had and asked for a new one it did not cut. I thought that my pasta was gross cold and it left me with the upset stomach I only ate half of it, and then the person just came to the table and took it away without asking. I would not recommend that restaurant nor would I ever go back.

This is an exceptional restaurant. I had the 7-course tasting menu and it was one of the best I have had in years. The wine pairings were excellent, as was the sommelier. I felt very relaxed and at home here, all while eating some of the best food in Rhode Island. This is a special place and you should book it for a very special night out.

Beautiful restaurant, great for a romantic dinner. Went here for our anniversary. They had gone out of their way to make a special table with decoration, a card, and complimentary champagne drink. Appetizers, foie gras and tomato salad were excellent. Minor issue with our food order was that my wife orders duck breast and they brought duck leg, and the vodka martini was a bit heavy on the vermouth and not cold enough. Overall - wonderful restaurant and we will go again.

Server was great! Food was OK but was hoping for better. Fois Gras was delicious. Duck confit was a little dry. My wife had the sword fish. Taste was very good but may have been the smallest piece we've ever had a restaurant. Maybe 3oz.
