Tazza

We went tonight, before a performance at Trinity Rep. We were early, at 5pm. The restaurant staff was busy helping to set up for the free Movies On The Block, next door, so our server got somewhat sidetracked, initially. Once he was done with that, our service was fine. The Fruit and Cheese Board was a perfect starter and was more than we could finish. The berry, pear, apple choices were paired with just the right cheeses. I had the Tomato Basil Panini, wonderfully crusty. My companian had the Tazza Cuban. She really enjoyed it - it was meaty and the sauce served on it was a great compliment. We chose to have our sandwiches with salads. The house salad was flavoful and not wilted, but was also not crisp. We were served a bottle of water, but had to ask for ice. On a very hot day, attention to these details might have scored them a 5 stars We passed on any deserts or drinks and had dinner for 2, for under $40. We will be back ! Pros: Great food Cons: Slow service more

I've been to Tazza many times for breakfast and lunch and occasionally at night for many of their live music events. By day their food is great and most of the time their wait staff is very attentative. whether you go there alone or with friends to eat, drink or check out one of their music venues it's a great New York style cafe / club in the heart of downtown. Pros: Great food, atmospher more

If you're downtown, Tazza's really your only option for a cup of coffee if you trying to avoid corporate mega-chains. Too bad the service is basically offensive. The owner and manager are both great: friendly, attentive, and quick. But the rest of the bozos serving joe pretty much all hale from the dregs of the earth: slow, rude, and weird. Is the coffee really worth it? Pros: it's downtown? Cons: A whole lot... more

Tazza is a great hang out it is relaxed and friendly, I had great drinks and great food, the last saturday of every month is Go-Go night, don't miss this outrageous night!! Fun, Fun, Fun!!! I love Tazza and it's atmosphere. Pros: Coffee, cocktails, food, & service Cons: Parking more

The staff was friendly, drinks good, MUSIC is outstanding. my friends and I had Girls night out and there weren't any rules for the night. tazza was perfect. the people look (cute) and friendly. Pros: the Scene more

This is my favorite bar/club in Providence. I usually go every weekend. Try to get there early (9:30-10:00 pm) to get a seat on the super comfy couch. The waiters are very nice and very prompt. Their food is not the greatest but the drinks are delicious. One of the best in Providence. The best part is Tazza's atmosphere - there are usually live bands playing (alot of jazz) and in the back of the bar a huge projector which is playing movies on the back wall. If you are waiting for your drink. Look at the bar very carefully. You will find a surprise right underneath ur nose!\r \r Great place to go with co-workers after work. Very chill and relaxing place. more

The decor is really nice and the bartenders are able, great coffee too. They have live music and everytime I've gone there the music was so loud you couldn't have a conversation and their food is pretty bad. All in all, if it wasn't so loud it would probably be a really cool place. Pros: good ambience, good drinks, good coffee Cons: too loud, bad food (pizza anyway) more

Very friendly staff, but not annoyingly so. It's a good place to relax, go on a date, or catch up with friends over lunch. Extensive coffee/tea/drink menu, and you have to try the chicken panini! more

Stop in at least once. I love that this place boasts city life at its best. There's live music, great tea, excellent hot cocoa, the panini is yummy. It's good with a couple of friends, a date, an in between things to do stop or a time at the bar. There's no parking... but that's Providence. Pros: plenty of seating, live music, food & drink Cons: no parking more

at least that is what I have been told. The biggest screen in the City of Providence, a perfect back drop for meeting friends and having a drink from their extensive wine list or creative mixed drink menu (did I mention their martinis, they have a great selection of those too). Nothing like sipping a great beverage and rocking out to some funky tunes in a lovely atmosphere. I highly recommend a stop over to tazza, totally worth your time. more

this place is the bees knees! there's nothing else like it in providence: a great environment with the coolest folks working there, and always something different to enjoy: from cult films to crowd-pleasing bands to furniture shows to installations to the best in latin, jazz, blues, cape verdean and reggae to incredible djs to killer light food and awesome cocktails- tazza has it all! (not that i'm biased- i've been spending all my time there recently!!) Pros: exciting entertainmen, great staff, great food and drink more
