I am in charge of making reservations for a group of 10 - for 1/15/11. I need a place that is fine dining - but not overdone. It is a business group - so price isnt an issue - just food. Any and all suggestions please - and thanks. (Italian, Steak and French preferred.)

One Week in Providence RI, Bakeries?

I just left Providence and can't rave enough about the food. If at all possible - splure at Al Forno - its worth it. Seven Star gets my vote too - but try some local spots on the West Side or near the Armory District. You'll find some little local spots
also - my daughter lives there and wrote this - try it
$10 and Under

Are you constantly searching for something delicious and affordable? Maybe it’s something in between two pieces of bread for say $10? Then turn here, because what follows is a list of great grinders, wraps and pressed sandwiches for a mere 10 bones. So, go ahead, search the streets. Tell your friends and start eating. It’s lunch time.
Murphy’s Delicatessen

55 Union Street Providence, RI

This Providence landmark is smack dab on one of the busiest corners in downtown. It’s been around since 1929 and still serves up their famous corned beef and mountain high sandwiches. They offer everything from potato skins and burgers to fried chicken and clam chowder (on Fridays). The prices are low, especially the combination sandwiches at only $7.50. Sit at the L shaped bar for an authentic experience and seal the deal with something refreshing on tap. You won’t be disappointed!

Nobody’s Deli
18 Bassett Street Providence, RI

Tucked away on Bassett Street in downtown Providence is this reliable, local deli. The place is small and efficient with a deli display, a few tables and specials board. Next door is Nobody’s Bar, an equally entertaining joint all in itself; but we’re here for the sandwiches. Their French bread is the perfect backdrop for all things grinder related and their homemade tuna and chicken salad is far superior to any Willow Tree variety. Try one of there signature combinations like the EZ Rider with roast beef and cream cheese or a Land Quest with chicken salad, American cheese, honey mustard, lettuce, bacon and hot sauce all on toasted rye. The best part? A large grinder will set you back less than $7.00, proving that “Everybody is somebody at Nobody’s.”
East Side Pockets

278 Thayer Street Providence, RI

Thayer Street would not be the same without this East side institution. They are open late night (1 AM on weekdays, 2 AM on weekends) and serve up food quicker than you can order it. $4 gets you the biggest falafel wrap around, smothered with Middle Eastern topping such as hummus, tzatziki, tahini and their home made hot sauce. They also offer toppings such as grape leaves, tabouleh and feta cheese, all which come standard on a wrap with “everything.” $6 can get you a chicken, kafta or gyro wrap or the salad variation served with Syrian bread. “If you like it, tell your friends.”

Cuban Revolution

50 Aborn Street Providence, RI

In there new location off Washington Street downtown is Cuban Revolution.

They claim to have the worlds best Cuban sandwich with roast pork, Swiss cheese, salami, ham, pickles, mustard and mayonnaise all pressed between homemade Cuban bread. They also offer some great appetizers such as empanada’s, fried yucca and ham croquettes called croquetas de jamon. The sandwiches range between $6 and $9 and most of the appetizers don’t exceed $5. Just be cautious of the drinks here because, they don’t offer free refills and the mixed drinks are over priced, so stick with the beer. If you have the time, take a seat in the new dining room. The walls are plastered with new, over sized artwork and the booths are rather comfortable.

Meeting Street Café

220 Meeting Street Providence, RI

You’ll find this award winning café upstairs from Spiritus Fermenti (it’s a liquor store) and right off the ever famous Thayer Street. Here, they are known for their large portions, quality ingredients and famously large cookies (they are the size of your head, promise!). They offer a huge selection of interesting sandwiches, including a large selection of vegetarian options. Some favorites include the quad - with hot roast beef, cheddar, coleslaw and Russian dressing and the veggie Reuben with steamed broccoli. A full sandwich here will put you back about $9, but you can opt for a half sandwich at $5.75. Whatever you do, don’t forget about the cookies –
