Café Nuovo’s food is rivaled only by the striking view of the Providence River. The menu is long and meanders from the pastures of Lombardy to the streets of Seoul and Saigon --- and that's just one leg of the trip. Sourcing of ingredients is equally diverse: local when possible, distant when need demands. Examples include lamb from Colorado, antelope from Texas and sea bass from Hawaii. Grill items and sides are ordered à la carte or you can choose from “composed plates,” which include cassoulet, a slow-braised veal shank and bouillabaisse with Maine lobster tails as well as other fruits of the sea. Desserts are worthy of a Getty grant for their combination of taste, integrity and presentation. Crème brûlée is a flight of fancy and the seasonal fruit is drenched with orange-blossom syrup.
