Restaurants

-

If you are a fan of casual dining, without the pomp and circumstance of pricey city restaurants, you will enjoy the local dining options in West Warwick. Particularly for those that enjoy quality Italian food, there are multiple family-owned locations that deliver excellent food at affordable cost with comfortable, but not intimidating, atmospheres.

Among the best examples are Pinelli’s, which began as a wildly popular deli (which still exists) along with dine in menus of equally high quality, and Millonzi’s Bar and Grille in the heart of downtown West Warwick. These local favorites draw diners from around the state.

When you cannot make up your mind if you want Italian or seafood, the Cowesett Inn, long a West Warwick dining venue, serves both options. Although it could use an interior update, this restaurant remains a favorite of repeat diners. Prefer a more cozy, intimate atmosphere, accompanied by fabulous Italian food? You will like Aquilante’s Bistro, which garners consistently high diner ratings.

Shopping

-

While shopping in West Warwick is fairly limited, the nearby shopping developments on Bald Hill Road, which spans both Warwick and West Warwick, has every retail outlet a dedicated shopper could imagine.

From Wal-Mart to upscale stores (and all those in-between), shoppers will find every genre from consumer electronics (Best Buy) to DIY big box outlets (Home Depot). You never need to leave the area, even if you need food for Fido, as you’ll find a large Petco store next to a busy Staples location and you can get your sports gear at Modell’s, Dick’s or Sports Authority, all of which are within walking or short driving distance.

Need to stock up the pantry? You’ll also find a modern Stop and Shop, Shaw’s and Rhode Island’s iconic Dave’s state-of-the-art super markets, along the same road. Bald Hill Road, formerly a rather “sleepy” mini-highway paralleling interstate Route 95 and local Route 4, which runs south along the coast toward the beaches, is now a bustling Mecca for shoppers around the state.
