We had a lovely dinner in Barrington. The space is small but it reminded me of an old school bustling restaurant in that way. The vibe is suburban which suits the location. However the food is the star and it did not disappoint. I tried the bone in veal parmigiana that there are many photos of and it was very good, and fresh. My wife loved her creamy pasta. We will be back - I look forward to exploring the menu.

Has a tropical, island inspired vibe, and the food matches the atmosphere perfectly. I had the grilled fish tacos, and they were amazing. The service was quick and friendly, and the outdoor seating area was beautiful, with a view of the ocean. We came here after spending the day exploring the nearby botanical gardens, and it was a great way to end the day.

We went for my birthday, and while I didn't take a ton of photos both the cocktails and the food we absolutely amazing. A hidden gem!

I went here for the first time last night and had an amazing experience. Gorgeous, tasteful atmosphere, very cozy but not crowded. The service was amazing, everyone was very kind and professional. My water never got low. The food was the best part- one of the best meals I've ever had! I got the spaghetti viola.

Our second time visiting this little Gem. Food spot on! Ambiance quint, Ally the owner/bartender engaging and great cocktail specials.

New favorite Italian restaurant in the area! Viola is a very warm and charming small restaurant. We have been here a handful of times since they have opened, and have had a consistent wonderful experience each time. Every meal on their menu is delicious, fresh and flavorful. Their staff are always incredibly friendly and professional.

Start to finish this is a gem of a restaurant. The space is tight so if you are looking for a quiet, romantic dinner this might not be your thing, but if you are looking for a lively vibe with great food and cocktails this is the place. The staff is attentive and knowledgeable about the food they serve. I started with an Italian take on a Manhattan, which was spot on. We tried the seafood salad app special which was fresh and delicious. It contained shrimp, scallops, and squid perfectly dressed with EVVO and tangy vinegar. The portions were large and although on the pricey side offered good value for the quality. The star of the show was the bone in veal parm. A 14-ounce veal chop pounded thin and pan-fried with bread crumbs. The right amount of sauce complemented the crispiness of the veal. I'm looking forward to having the leftovers tonight! Barrington is lucky to have Viola Cucina as would any community wanting great food.

We came to check out Violas after reading tons of great reviews. Staff was very nice. We got calamari for an appetizer very well-made nice thick pieces fried perfectly. I got the chicken Parmesan, which was not on the menu, but I guess they can make it anytime, and my husband got a chicken dish over risotto. I wasn't overly impressed, it was not a knock it out of the park Italian restaurant. The chicken Parm was very basic not something I would go back for. My husband's dish was OK, I think we were just expecting more from reviews, especially since in Rhode Island, there are tons and tons of amazing Italian restaurants. Maybe there's not much up this way like there is down around us and people are overly impressed.

Amazing new Italian spot in Barrington. We came here early on a weekend evening. The ambiance inside is quite lovely. We got pasta with burrata, pasta with fresh sea food and the chicken scarpariello. Everything tasted delicious, though the pasta with the burrata was the best one. The chicken scarpariello was spicy and very good. The chicken was tender and cooked perfectly; the only thing missing was the polenta. We also got a caesar salad that was very good. For dessert, we got the spumoni and salted caramel ice cream. The caramel ice cream was phenomenal. The owners were very welcoming and friendly. Seating is somewhat limited, so it's prob better to make reservations. Overall it was a great experience.
