“ Really happy we came here! We went with the chef's tasting menu, and were very impressed by the creativity of the chef. Multiple dishes were like "I've never tasted anything like this'". The combination of ingredients were often out of box but perfect. They also were very accommodating with our dietary restrictions, husband is gluten free and I have to eat fully cooked food with my pregnancy, so they did a fully customized thing for us, which was amazing and made us feel really special. Their menu obviously changes often, so it's very nice to have seasonal, fresh ingredients. I can tell a lot of people here come repeatedly, which is another great sign. Overall definitely a place worth coming! Love the chef and our server! ”

“ This was our second time dining at Persimmon and it did not disappoint. This time, we decided to try the 5 course tasting menu and we are happy we did! Each course was satisfying and delicious from the appetizer course (which included some wonderful bite size morsels like oysters, beef tartare, and a sun choke soup that was amazing) to the salad course, pasta course, and the main course (lamb, two ways) then finished off with an amazing dessert of white chocolate that words can't describe. The wine pourings were generous and paired perfectly with each course. They even provided homemade chocolates at the end of the meal. Our waiter, Bob, was polite, friendly and provided us with information about each course and wine pairing throughout the meal. This is quickly becoming one of our favorite restaurant choices in Providence and we are looking forward to our next visit. ”

“ Julia was such a great server! For our first time she was super chill, made great recommendations and didn't make us feel foolish for not having been before or knowing to order plates to share. I wish I had gotten pictures of our app (oysters were the best I have ever had). And my sloe gin fizz was refreshing. We split a pasta dish with scallops - and I really enjoyed the scallops. They melt in your mouth. My mother had the duck and I had the beef. It was perfectly prepared. For dessert we shared the chocolate tart and the apple cake with rosemary ice cream. My mom preferred the apple cake - and I'll agree that the ice cream was top notch but overall I'd go for the chocolate again. The restaurant is set up in such a nice way that each section feels intimate and cozy. Where I sat I could see the kitchen and the food prep which I always enjoy. There's something so cool about a well run kitchen and watching people put the final touches on the dishes as they come out always interests me, there was clearly a level of care being put out. It was a pricy night out - so it's a treat for sure. I'd like to go back and sit at the bar and get one of their tartare dishes sometime. ”

“ Really enjoyed our experience here. Extremely impressed with their honey nut squash soup with Parmesan emulsion and the black spaghetti with bottarga di muggine. I also had the pumpkin gnocchi with Maitake mushrooms, turnip, parsnip and sage but would not recommend as highly. Great Old Fashioned. They have a new menu everyday but the black spaghetti is apparently a regular feature. Service was okay but could have been more proactive about refilling our waters. Cute art and overall nice atmosphere that was conducive to catching up with my friend. Loved that they didn't rush us and we enjoyed four courses over three hours. Time flies! This place is pricer than many others in the area but great cuisine and chill atmosphere. Looking forward to returning here! ”

“ Very yummy and great service. Wish the portions were a little larger. We had a party of four. We shared the croquettas for an appetizer and then each got a pasta dish. One person also ordered a salad. I feel like we should have maybe gotten a meat dish to share as well as the pastas. We also ordered 3 desserts. Delicious food, but definitely no leftovers. I want to return and try their famous black spaghetti. ”

“ Every time order: Deviled eggs Oysters Salmon belly tartare Venison tartare Black spaghetti pasta Spaghetti bolognese New additions/experiment: Pho with crispy pork belly: the broth was very rich and the pork belly was perfectly crispy Pork: really delicious and moist Lobster ravioli: great amount of chunky lobster, a larger portion Service: always fantastic every time! Ambiance: the only downside is that it can be loud, but we love the feel and modern yet cozy ambiance ”

“ Highly Recommend ! This is a rare finding high quality restaurant. I am defini a foodie but also extremely picky. I haven't got lucky to find a gem for the last couple years. This is the one I finally found in years! Persimmon is one of the farm to table concept that gets fresh ingredients from local but also includes from afar in unique, one of a kind way. Flavor and combination of ingredients are brilliant. All spices were never overtaking the natural and original tastes of the ingredients. Their service was amazing and the staffs were having great knowledge of each dishes. There was a wedding on the side space at the restaurant, which was so cute! Because of the greatness of their foods, I could even consider to have my wedding there! I have been waiting so long to try to find the opportunity but finally made it and it was so much worth it than expected. I would definitely visit Providence just for Persimmon, without hesitation. ”

“ A few weeks ago we returned to dine here with friends from out of town. It's one of our favorite restaurants in Providence. The place, the food and the staff , Andrew R - are very welcoming. We ordered a range of food and drinks, starting with a margarita, Tullemore Dew, cardinal Sin and the curiously named penicillin. For food we shared deviled eggs, croquettes, and a salad. Followed by black spaghetti, lasagna, chicken and duck. We had a bottle of Pinot Noir. And ended with a tasty chocolate tart. One of the very few 5-star places in the city. Although an expensive meal ($80/head) it was worth it. ”

“ Simply outstanding! As a typical Rhode Islander, I avoided driving out of my normal radius and never visited Persimmon when it was located in Bristol. Now that it's in Providence, I was so excited to try it and can't believe I waited so long to do so. It was one of my favorite food experiences in a long while. Our server was helpful but laidback and low key (the perfect balance). I really enjoyed the Don Johnson cocktail and would get it again and again on future visits. We sampled several items to share, including a grilled cucumber salad, shishito peppers, and braised greens croquettas. Each of these items was incredible. They were all so different yet each was perfectly balanced in flavor and texture. We couldn't find a single flaw. Each of us selected a pasta entree. My friend loved her black spaghetti and I loved my agnolotti. Again, the dishes were flawless. Finally, the summer-inspired Paris Brest was the perfect culmination to this incredible meal. Now that I've finally discovered the absolute joy that is dining at Persimmon, I can't wait to come back! ”
