I know this is a detour from my normal content, but I just have to tell you about this place!
My friend, Chef Brynn Gibson , is doing amazing things at Maria’s Cucina in Providence! (Fun fact - she competed on Hell’s Kitchen and made it to the top 4!)
The building itself is gorgeous and full of RI Italian-American history, but let’s be honest you wanna know about what to eat!
So let’s talk food:
- I think about that focaccia on a regular basis. It’s so popular they are selling loaves to take home!
- Pumpkin ravioli with an amaretto cream sauce = pure fall perfection!
- My friends greatly enjoyed their scallops with risotto and rigatoni bolognese.
- I personally judge every Italian restaurant I go to by their chicken parmesan and this dish did not let me down! The chicken was crispy and the sauce had great flavor.
- This limoncello tiramisu… holy $*! #. One of the best desserts I have had in a very long time! Such a fun twist on a classic!
- Apple crisp is my favorite fall dessert! If you’re a bread pudding fan, you have to try this pumpkin bread pudding. These had all the warm spices you could want.
Brynn is just getting started! I can’t wait to see what the future holds, but I know it will be delicious!
Be sure to add Maria's Cucina to your to do list!
