Reply to comment by lisa_stansfield_stan in why is this legit every Chinese restaurant in Rhode Island? by OctoberRust13

Pretty much. And let's not glance over RI's beloved culinary contributions! It includes such gems as clear chowder, cold cheese-less pizza, and flavored milk. lol. That's like if you let 1st graders pick the school lunch menu... But seriously, where are the Caribbean restaurants? German food? French? Russian delis? Where are the Southern BBQ joints!? Obviously I know RI has these places, but you gotta drive to Providence to find'em. And even in Providence they're considered niche, and therefore waaaay overpriced. I once asked a RI local where I could find a nice Greek restaurant. Their suggestion was a pizza joint that also happened to serve gyros. JFC

Providence is the capital city of the state, should it not have the most variety? I know of places that fit or nearly fit all the places you mentioned and are great, and who are you talking to that can't even point you towards Kleo's or Yoleni's? Sounds like you have some poor sources.

Not sure I expect Exeter and Burrilville to be foodie havens, of course you're going to have to go to Providence, with some exception in Newport, Westerly, and the in betweens.

I live in Smithfield. My apartment is located above a pizza place. You know the one, it's located right next to the other pizza place.
