A taste of small-town life is sometimes just what we need to relax and reset. Exuding classic New England charm, the quaint small town of Bristol draws Rhode Islanders and visitors from all over for its famous Fourth of July parade, the beloved Colt State Park, and the famous Blithewold Mansion, Gardens & Arboretum. Even if you’ve got just a brief window to explore, make sure you fuel up first at Roberto’s, a cozy restaurant in Bristol, Rhode Island.
A visit to Bristol inevitably means a stroll along Hope Street, a quintessential New England road dotted with shops and restaurants, including the cozy Roberto's Restaurant.
Even if you're not too hungry, take a break and head into this local favorite for more than two decades. During the warmer months, request a seat outdoors.
If you're on a time crunch or want to ensure you have a seat when you're hungry, make reservations ahead of time. Roberto's features a restaurant side and a cafe side.
