We were in the area and looking for somewhere tasty to go for lunch, and after seeing the reviews, we decided we wanted to come to blackies! Even though we were a walk in, they were able to accommodate us and accommodate us, they did. Most of the menu can be made GF, and there are pages, upon pages to this menu. Not only did I enjoy my meal (I got the French Onion Cheesesteak with Fries and it was SUPERB 🤌🏽), but my gluten eating family also had a meal. My Dad even said it was the BEST Ruben he's ever had (and he loves a ruben). Since it was our first time there, our wonderful server was able to field all of my GF/Celiac-related questions with ease. The restaurant is owned by two lovely women: one of whom has Celiac. They have dedicated fryers, AND they have separate kitchen tools (knives, utensils, cutting boards, aprons, etc.) for the preparation of GF meals. On top of all that, my food was brought out FIRST and SEPARATELY. Our server even brought out a new bottle of ketchup with my food so that there wasn't any CC. I felt so well taken care of by the staff, and so safe while we were there, it was a new level of Celiac-care in this dining experience. I cannot more highly recommend blackies if you're ever in RI/Providence!!!

We love this place. We have been to the Cranston location before, but this was our first time at the Smithfield location. Unfortunately they don't have gluten free items marked on their menu, but the server was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. We went specifically to try the wings as part of the Lord of the Wings event, the wings were great! We also had a gf Biggie Mac Pizza, and one of the turkey burgers! So good!

We were in Rhode Island for a few days to visit family, and we were so glad we found Tavolo. We ate here 2x in 2 nights... it was amazing! The gluten free pasta was cooked perfectly and was the best bolognaise I've ever had. The wine list was fantastic, and the service was absolutely impeccable!

A couple of friends and I went to Val’s for afternoon tea when I came to visit from Upstate Ny. I had been to a high tea in Bermuda and have been searching ever since to have that experience again closer to home. Since having that experience a couple of years ago I found out I am gluten intolerant from Hashimoto’s Disease, so I knew that would make it harder…. Especially since gluten free option usually aren’t that great, or there are limited options available. Well, Val exceeded my expectations of a full gluten free afternoon tea that was absolutely exquisite. I emphasize the “full” part because there wasn’t not a single item I was left out of… and everything was absolutely delicious!!! Thank you for a lovely time Val! I can not wait to come back!
