Cavalieri's Wood Street Pizza is a family-owned-and-operated cookery that has been serving up house favorites and custom creations for 18 years. While the basic variety of pizza exists ($6.75 for 10" to $16.25 for a full sheet), Wood Street's pizza menu shines with exotic topped discs, such as buffalo chicken pizza, taco pizza fiesta, and a lasagna pizza pie. Specialty pizzas are $9, $18, or $27 (or $18.25 for thin crust), depending on size.

Voted South County’s best Mexican restaurant by Rhode Island Monthly readers in 2011 and 2012, El Fuego Mexican Grill boasts a BYOB policy and a menu packed with specialty burritos, tacos, and quesadillas. Some burritos stay classic—like the one stuffed with grilled steak, black beans, cheese, rice, sour cream, lettuce, and tomato—while others take a tasty twist, like the ranchero, which subs in ranch dressing and barbecue sauce for the standard sour cream. The brave can take the taco challenge and try to devour five fiery hot tacos in less than 20 minutes. Those who succeed without morphing into dragons earn an El Fuego T-shirt and bragging rights.

In Cafe Luna’s bustling kitchen, Chef Christopher Farrell emulsifies vinaigrettes, stuffs ravioli with the filling of the day, and slides pizzas atop a sizzling grill. Cinnamon-flecked cappuccino and glasses of house wine pair with dishes from the elegant lunch and dinner menus. The elegance exudes from dishes such as roasted-pear salad and veal saltimbocca, each meticulously plated with sprigs of fresh herbs or swirls of sauces. On the eatery’s flower-filled outdoor patio, guests bask in a cool breeze while nibbling dessert biscotti and sending semaphore insults to birds flying overhead with each table’s navy-blue umbrella.

One would be hard pressed to find a can opener anywhere in the kitchen of Cilantro Mexican Grill. That's because the restaurant's chefs don't need one; they never cook with anything that's been canned. Instead, they purée the nutty flesh of ripe hass avocados into jalapeño-laced guacamole, slice fresh tortillas into triangles to be fried and sprinkled with fresh lime juice, and grill fresh, adobo-seasoned chicken, steak, and tilapia. Local growers supply the restaurant with tomatoes and onions. At the Providence, Coventry, Warwick, and Rumford locations, patrons can sip from glasses filled with margaritas or craft beers.
