EAST PROVIDENCE RESTAURANT WEEK

You’ve heard of Providence Restaurant Week. Now get ready for the East Providence Restaurant Week. Yup, EP is launching its own celebration June 16-22. According to billing, it’s the “first-ever taste tour of East Providence’s culinary best.” Expect deals and prix fixe. You might, for example, lunch on authentic Portuguese food at Madeira Restaurant, where you’ll score a free cup of soup with any sandwich. For dinner, they offer a free cup of soup or side salad with $20 entree — perhaps sautéed shrimp in butter, garlic, and wine served over a bed of rice, or marinated pork blended with roasted potatoes and little necks. Meanwhile, Uncle Tony’s Pizza & Pasta offers a $23.95 prix fixe meal: Start on soup or salad, then you might dig into baked sea scallops with pasta, veggie or fries, or chicken parmigiana, before dessert: tiramisu or carrot cake. Details here.
