Ida's Restaurant

A great Italian restaurant in the Newport area.

The restaurant has a very friendly and family vibe going. The menu contains many staples of American Italian dining. The pasta is made freshly each day and you can appreciate the quality.

The staff was all very polite, friendly and helpful. While I do not live in the Newport area, it is a place I would recommend to those traveling to this area, and one I hope to return to some day.

Ida’s is an absolute gem of a restaurant on Aquidneck Island. Consistently amazing food made fresh with quality ingredients (including fresh pasta) that is plated beautifully. Everything on the menu is delicious, the staff is attentive and friendly, and the vibe is excellent.

Great locally owned eatery. Really enjoyed the fresh made pasta. This was great to see very busy midweek. This place is off the main road. Enjoy. Cheers

Cozy & friendly eatery w great service. Kitchen can accommodate gluten free. Highly recommend the delicious Greek & Beet salads. Long list of entrees. Classic faves as well as unexpected dishes. Chicken entrees - parmagiana, marsala, and one w a spiced cream sauce served over biscuits all very good. Patio dining first come first serve. Some may find indoor seating too close for comfort when crowded. Restaurant fills quickly & remains busy. Recommend arriving early. Restaurant opens 4:30.

I was very impressed with this place, we started with the garlic bread and the server recommended gorgonzola sauce which was fantastic. I had the best eggplant parm I have ever had in my life, the pasta was outstanding. The service was good, the food was fantastic, pricing was reasonable, the restaurant itself was nice. I highly recommend this place. To the owner, manager, and staff keep up the excellent work I look forward to my next visit.

Excellent food, right portions. Friendly services. To return, yesssss

First time at Ida's. Lovely ambiance. Generous portions. All Fresh and cooked to order. Excellent service. Nothing better than fresh homemade pasta except homemade pasta with delicious sauces and well prepared protein. Truly tender veal. One of the best marsala sauces I've ever had. I ordered chicken gorgonzola. Very rich, but oh so good. Can't wait to go back and try other dishes.

Ida’s for the win tonight - garlic bread sticks w/gorgonzola cream sauce, greek salad, firecracker shrimp, finished with the ribeye & scallop dinner and espresso martinis. They are one of Aquidneck Island’s best. Unfortunately due to CV19 they don’t take reservations and since it’s a popular place you may hit or miss if you don’t come at an opportune time.

Absolutely delicious!! We shared three apps, three entrees and a dessert and loved every bite.

We had meatballs as an appt. and the ginger carrots, both ate veal rosamarino. Excellent flavors done to perfection. I would have again. No pictures sorry.

quiet and relaxing atmosphere. excellent and friendly service. had the tuna steak, polenta, linguini. the tuna was good and the four sauces were excellent. the polenta was delicious. my wife had a salad with gorgonzola beets and salmon she loved it. my kids had the cavatelli mac n cheese and some of my polenta and linguini they loved everything. definitely coming back to try different menu items :)

Excellent food, service and overall warm atmosphere, we can tell that lots of locals eat here often, because the servers seemed to know everyone. The linguine scampi was great as well as the meatball sliders.

Showed up randomly with no expectations and was impressed. Reservations likely recommend on busy nights but the wait was not long when we showed up. Restaurant was full but service was timely, coursed appropriately, serving sizes were generous and wait staff was excellent. Highly recommend.

Wonderful food, wonderful people. Just one of the best little gems on the island. You will agree 👍💯%

Such a cute spot, my sister and I stopped in for some pasta before race day, delicious!

Stumbled upon this place on vacation. Super good food and service. Atmosphere was kid-friendly (loud enough to drown out our toddler haha) but not overly chaotic. Prices seemed reasonable for homemade pasta and sauces in our opinion. Would definitely visit again!

Great customer service! So warm and welcoming. I’m not from this area of the country, and I’ve quickly noticed a different level of customer service and friendliness is acceptable here, but the staff at Ida’s shattered all those conceived notions and I was pleasantly surprised the moment I walked in the door. I was already thoroughly impressed and then I tasted the food. Delicious! Ida’s Restaurant delivered in every way. Will definitely return again before I leave.

Delicious food, friendly service. Will be back again.

We chose to grab 2 seats at the bar instead of a table. The bartender was awesome! She was funny and friendly. The drinks were great too. The food was EXCELLENT!!! It was so hard to choose! I had a chicken dish and my husband the chicken parm with fresh pasta. We had a nice time, didn't feel rushed and can't wait to eat there again. Definitely enjoy a meal at Ida's!

Uniformly delicious food, nice atmosphere, and terrific service. Very recommended if your in town.
