Reviews for Ida's Restaurant in Middletown, RI
Great customer service! So warm and welcoming. I?m not from this area of the country, and I?ve quickly noticed a different level... of customer service and friendliness is acceptable here, but the staff at Ida?s shattered all those conceived notions and I waspleasantly surprised the moment I walked in the door. I was already thoroughly impressed and then I tasted the food. Delicious!Ida?s Restaurant delivered in every way. Will definitely return again before I leave. Read more
Absolutely loved this place. Don't let the location put you off. The food is excellent, service is personal and friendly, the... Bolognese is to die for. We were visiting the area and went twice. Each time they made us feel like regular local customers. Read more
We really wanted to love this place. All the of the hoopla and word-of-mouth...everything was positive about this place. We... started with the stuffed mushroom caps as an appetizer, which contained crumbled sausage with Fontinella cheese. We detectedno cheese whatsoever, but they were still decent. Then came the oregano. Most every true Italian restaurant I've been to doesnot put oregano in their marinara sauce or meat sauce. Different sauces perhaps, including pizza sauce (I actually make mypizza sauce this way). It's so pungent and can take over any marinara or meat sauce. The chicken parm was breaded and actuallyquite flavorful, moist, and tender and the portion size was decent. My veal parm was pounded into oblivion and had no breadingon it. It spread out into a decent sized piece (which got lost in the sauce), but was so thin it had to have been a small pieceof veal to begin with. I would like to go back and try something that doesn't involve their red sauce. Read more
Broccoli Alfredo was dry and the pasta stuck together. Also, lasagna noodles were tough and actually crunchy in parts. Couldn?t... cut the lasagna with a fork. Had to saw with a knife! Looked like someone left it under the salamander too long! Sadly, won?t begoing back. Waste of money! Read more
First time customers traveling from MD. We loved the food - true Italian bread according to my Italian husband. The staff was... cheerful even though it was busy. Read more
Cozy & friendly eatery w great service. Kitchen can accommodate gluten free. Highly recommend the delicious Greek & Beet salads.... Long list of entrees. Classic faves as well as unexpected dishes. Chicken entrees - parmagiana, marsala, and one w a spicedcream sauce served over biscuits all very good. Patio dining first come first serve. Some may find indoor seating too close forcomfort when crowded. Restaurant fills quickly & remains busy. Recommend arriving early. Restaurant opens 4:30. Read more
Ida?s for the win tonight - garlic bread sticks w/gorgonzola cream sauce, greek salad, firecracker shrimp, finished with the... ribeye & scallop dinner and espresso martinis. They are one of Aquidneck Island?s best. Unfortunately due to CV19 they don?ttake reservations and since it?s a popular place you may hit or miss if you don?t come at an opportune time. Read more
3 words. Go To Ida's. You won't regret it. Marsala dishes delicious! Not overpowering. Veal gorgonzola lick-the-plate worthy.... Staff was friendly and solicitous. Read more
