Thanks to everyone who responded to my inquiry about Providence. Below are
the emails I received.
Thanks again,

1. There is Whole Foods in Providence and also Eastside Marketplace for GF
groceries. At Prov. Place Mall, Smokey Bones has a GF menu, as does
Pizzeria Uno (but not the pizza there). Legal Sea Foods in Warwick, RI and
Outback Steakhouse in Seekonk, MA are also close and have GF menus.

He told me they are having Celiac awareness fundraiser at the
"Waterplace" restaurant in Providence at the end of the month, and Dr.
Fassano will be there. I now feel safe to go to many restaurants in this
group all over the state! what a thrill!!!!!!!
3. I have had Celiac disease for 4 years and live in Providence. The best
market is Whole Foods. Their best celiac food choice is their Gluten Free
Bakery items, including their GF bread line. There are two in Providence.
The larger on is on North Main Street. Shaws Market has lower prices and
much less selection but I use it often.
Regarding restaurants, the only one in Providence with a GF menu is Twist on
Angel, 500 Angell Street, but there are others nearby. I eat at Outback
Steakhouse, Chili's, Pinelli's North End Cafe, Ted's Montana Grill and
Carrabba's Italian Grill, Uno Chiicago Grill, and Pei Wei Asian Diner, which
all have GF menu's. You can also get selective GF food at Ruby Tuesdays,
Bugaboo Steakhouse, Chelo's and Boston Market locations.
I hope this helps. Contact me directly if you want more specific GF menu
selections or any other information.
4. Health Heaven is a gluten free store that is in Tiverton, RI not too far
from Providence. The owner Kathy runs a support group so she'll know of more
places to eat out at in that area.
5. I used to live in RI, now Im in Ohio....buy when I go back I love to go
to Papparazzi in Cranston..they make me a gluten free chicken parmesan and 2
times it has been great. Its so hard when you are raised Italian to not have
bread and pasta! I have a web site I created as my Senior project but more
Z(selfishly) to connect with other Celiac and learn from each other, Please
see my site and sign my guest book, and don't forget to say you are from
RI...I Initially thought to reach out to Ohioans but realistically, the
Internet makes the world smaller. I was recently at Mariani home for the
funeral of my Grandmother...it was hard not get some bakery pizza :(
My Grandmother is on Cape Cod and lots info we can share
thanks

6. Rhode Island probably has more gluten free restaurants per square mile
than any state in the union. I haven't done the massive research necessary
to prove that statement, but consider what I have discovered and perhaps you
will agree.

The Pinnelli-Mara Restaurant Group presents eight (count them!) gluten
free restaurants in Rhode Island. Check out their website, but I suspect

Intolerance Group. The groups newest restaurant, Waterplace in Providence,
serves gluten free meals but is not yet posted on the GFRAP list.
The Kabob and Curry Restaurant in Providence (401-273-8844), has an

Restaurant (401-728-5500) in Pawtucket, which features Indian cuisine and
gluten free offerings.

only 48 miles long! My thanks to Alan De Palo who contributed some of this
information. Click here to read his entire message to me. If you know of
other gluten free restaurants, please e-mail me at [log in to unmask]
Given its size, I can't imagine a Rhode Island vacation that does not
involve crossing a state line, so I suggest that you read my articles
"Gluten Free Restaurants in New England" and "Exploring Gluten Free Boston".
I have also posted articles on gluten free restaurants
7. There are a ton of gluten-free friendly restaurants in the Providence
area. Two of my favorites are Waterplace Restaurant right in downtown
Providence, and Twist on Angel, which is on the "east side" near Brown
University. Both are owned by the Pinelli-Marra Restaurant Group who own 8
restaurants in Rhode Island. ALL of them have gluten-free menus that are
amazing. They also get it - no cross contamination, etc. Most of their
restaurants even carry gluten-free beer!
Enjoy your time in Providence!
