Restaurants

-

There are some top-rated dining options in West Greenwich. If you are craving good pizza, you might like Dan’s Pizza Place or Europa Pizza. When you’re in the mood for fine casual tavern dining, you should try the Woods Tavern, with good food and service to match. Nuts on Nooseneck, not surprisingly located on the main “thoroughfare” of West Greenwich, Nooseneck Hill Road, offers classic tavern food along with a more traditional dining room.

Shopping

-

You won’t be surprised to learn that there are no mega shopping malls in West Greenwich. Typical of its country nature, West Greenwich does have numerous retail locations that fit the “nurseries and gardening” category. You’ll even find the locally-famous, Big John Leyden’s Christmas Tree Farm, which also sells home décor items along with its legendary holiday trees. Just pick one out, tag it and come back and pick it up (freshly cut) when it’s time to decorate.

Fortunately, when you absolutely must visit a more contemporary planned shopping Mecca, you only need to travel a few miles to neighboring Coventry to find your shopping fix. The Centre of New England is a state-of-the-art 21st century shopping creation. It’s a massive strip-type center spread over acres and includes restaurants, a Super Wal-Mart, a bank and a Home Depot, among other favorites.
