Chef extraordinaire

If you find your eagle within 2 hours of this gem then it will be worth your while to make the trip. For the focaccia alone is worth the journey. He pastas were on par with the best Italy has to offer. Amazing flavor profiles and a prix fixe menu available as well. From the cocktails to the food to the service this was an unforgettable evening.

Pros: Food, Service, Focaccia!!!

Outstanding vegan fine dining

There are a lot of great vegan restaurants that specialize in comfort food, the kind of food you eat at a football tailgate. It’s a lot harder to find great vegan haute cuisine. Foglia is OUTSTANDING and affordable vegan fine dining. It’s a family-run business. The chef and his wife are both vegans. His dishes are creative, SO delicious, and entirely made on the premises (for example, they make all the pasta themselves). He’s more of a magician than a chef, and his wife is a friendly and passionate! The atmosphere is cozy, the restaurant is exceptionally clean, and EVERYTHING on the menu is vegan and reasonably priced! Even non-vegans we were speaking to in the restaurant were saying how much they love it and how much it dispelled their misconceptions about vegan food. We had such a good time that we ate at Foglia every day during our vacation in Bristol, Rhode Island. #Veganuary

buonissimo

I tried two dishes: fazzoletti e funghi (with added truffle oil & shavings) and the cacio e pepe. Both were excellent, five star creamy pastas.

The dining space is small, the staff were all very friendly to us, the menu is seasonal and everything looked good. I will certainly return here to try some more!

—————————

Update: I came back for the tasting menu, and everything was absolutely fabulous. Highly recommended if you want to treat yourself. This place is the best.

Unbelievable

My sister and I were near Bristol, RI, and found this gem online. We decided to try the tasting menu with wine pairings and were blown away. Everything was SO delicious. The server, hostess and chef were all so kind and the ambiance was the icing on the cake. I wish we lived closer so we could try everything on the menu. If you’re near Bristol, you have to try it!

Pros: All vegan , Fancy , Ambiance

Excellent brunch food and service!

We planned to stop for their vegan brunch. I had the pancakes with peach compote (without whip cream) but all vegan and oil free - delicious! My husband had ‘chick’n and waffles - (vegan but not oil free) - very tasty! Mimosa’s and bellini’s and coffee all really good! Service was very friendly and top notch. we ate outside as we had our dogs but the inside restaurant is very classy. Would love to come back and try the vegan pasta’s!

Tasting menu

I visited Foglia for a celebration on the recommendation of people on the internet and was delighted to find this little gem of a restaurant. We tried the tasting menu, which was five courses (salad, appetizer, pasta, main, and dessert) plus an amuse bouche and a palate cleanser. For two people plus one wine pairing it came to about $200, which seemed like a fair-to-good price for the amount of food and the quality. I took most of my main home because I was so full (and I was the one drinking). The menu changes periodically based on what is fresh and available, which I appreciate tremendously.

The staff was super, and the chef came around to speak to clients periodically, which I always enjoy. My only complaint was that the wines were too sweet for my taste (almost every wine was on the sweeter side, or four glasses with the tasting) and, while they had an espresso machine, they couldn’t steam milk for cappuccino or other espresso drinks. Other than that, however, everything was top-notch.

Next time I’ll pass on the wine pairing and have a cocktail and a glass of wine of my choice. I will definitely be back.

Great Sunday brunch

We stopped in for brunch on Sunday and had a great meal. I got the Chikn and Waffles, and my wife got the breakfast burrito. We also had the bottomless mimosas. It was a nice ambiance and great service as well!

Singularly Exceptional

From the lovely location, to the bistro setting, the chef's care, to the staff's attention and finally to the wonderful dishes we had a great culinary experience.

We ordered the 'sausage' focaccia to start, followed by the mushroom handkerchiefs and the Mom's crab cakes. We finished with cheesecake and all were delicious works of perfection, served by friendly waiters.

It was a great experience all around and we'll make the 1.5 hr trip again, for sure!

Pros: Food, Chef, Wait staff

First time visit, definitely not the last

We visited Foglia for the first time on the first night of RI Vegan Restaurant Week, and got the VRW special three-course meal:
- Tip to Top Carrots appetizer
- Tempeh Piccata with Broccoli and Patatas Bravas
- Apple Rose with Ice Cream and Crushed Pistachios

Everything was amazing, and the service was excellent. The portions were perfectly sized; I wasn’t unpleasantly stuffed afterwards, but I definitely wasn’t hungry anymore!

Why do the pictures load in the opposite order? (We didn’t have dessert first! 😉)

Amazing fine vegan dining

Everything that we ordered was delectable. The ambiance of the restaurant is so nice and the service is great. The only con is that the servings are a little small for the price, but it is artfully done food.

A True Gem!

Highly recommend! All of the dishes we ordered were incredible and the service fantastic, plus you can't beat the views from the outside tables. We loved Chef Pete's work at 12Plants in the past, so we were delighted to hear he had opened his own place. And a special shout-out to the new pastry chef, whose desserts were equally amazing!
