Some of the most unexpected of places often yield the most unexpected of pleasures. Such is the case with the cozy, family-run restaurant Ethan Anthony's Restaurant. The modest exterior of this restaurant belies the quality and intimacy of the culinary experience that lies within - and may easily be missed by diners looking for something with a little more commercial recognition. Ethan Anthony's is a surprising and delightful Italian restaurant nestled in the Centredale section of North Providence. Though Ethan Anthony's was opened three years ago, its owner and chef Bob Henneman has been preparing delicious, full-bodied and entirely homemade food for over 30 years. He brings his culinary sensibility and personal touch to his restaurant, named after his bright-eyed five year old son, and he invites you to experience it for yourself.

Open every day but Monday, Henneman serves up a varied and extensive menu of breakfast and lunch favorites at unbeatable prices. To start your day, try one of their bargain specials ~ a full portion of eggs, homefries, toast and coffee for only $2.50. The selection of breakfast items is mouthwatering and includes eggs made-to-order, fluffy pancakes, fruit covered French toast and assorted baked goods. Choose from a list of breakfast meats such as bacon, ham, kielbasa and even a Rib Eye steak! What are you waiting for?

The lunches here are equally tempting. Hot sandwiches are especially popular. Try the Meatball & Cheese sandwich made with a red gravy that has simmered for over 10 hours, the hand-battered Chicken Parm or a platter of Antipasto. There are soups, salads and indulgent appetizers like stuffed mushrooms, Mussels Zuppa and buffalo calamari.

Chef Henneman uses only the freshest of ingredients ~ it just isn't open for discussion ~ if it is frozen, prefabricated or processed, it will NOT make it on Ethan Anthony's menu. Henneman knows that the best food is all cooked to order, made from natures' best and served up your favorite Italian grandmother's special flair.

Dinnertime is truly one of the finest hours here at Ethan Anthony's. This is authentic Italian food - served in heaping portions and at unbelievable prices. Pasta dishes and traditional chicken, veal, steak and seafood meals are offered. Be sure to check out their tantalizing specials, including the "Two for $25.00" entrees or their incredible Friday night Fish & Chips dinner for only $8.95. Ethan Anthony's is BYOB, so bring along your favorite bottle of wine to share.

Ethan Anthony's Restaurant is located at 2053 Smith Street. There is street parking as well as a lot just across the street. For information, call 349-3040 or 588-4158. Open Tues. to Sunday from 7:00am until 2:00pm, except for Friday and Sat. when dinner is served until 9:30pm. Sunday is breakfast only. All credit cards accepted.
