About

Magical Riverwalk Setting

Cafe Nuovo is proud to have become Providence's favorite choice for grand wedding celebrations and gala events. We are located at the Gondola Landing on the city’s famed Riverwalk. We offer unique customizing options that will inspire the most imaginative wedding plans - city vistas and a world-class kitchen...elegant dining and domed, marble rotunda...and a scenic Riverwalk piazza to stage tented receptions and ceremonies as the river and gondolas roll by.

We comfortably seats 130 in our main dining room, 130 in our grand rotunda, and 60 or more on our beautiful Riverwalk piazza…three spectacular spaces available separately or together to create a day as magical as you could imagine.

“World Class Cuisine”

Unlike other reception and event venues, casually elegant Café Nuovo is dedicated to service and innovative cuisine. We have been described as "dazzling American chic" by the NY Times and unabashedly singled out by the Providence Journal as RI's contribution to "world-class" dining. "Here, different cuisines do more than meet…they fall in love."

Delicious food with elegant atmosphere!

If you are looking for a wedding in beautiful downtown Providence, there is no better place than Cafe Nuovo. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect, and from start to finish they worked hard to customize the wedding to what we wanted. From their cuisine, to service, and their attention to detail, our wedding day could not have been better. The staff performed wonderfully, and the atmosphere is elegant and classy. The food is also AMAZING, and you will not find better food at any other wedding venue. Our guests are still talking about how delicious the food and drinks were. We will recommend Cafe Nuovo for years to come!

Cafe Nuovo is our spot now. Shawn and Dimitri handle everything perfectly from the first time we met them. All of our guests loved the food. They were so excited that they were able to order what they wanted at the reception. We will be eating here often and recommending Cafe Nuovo to anyone who is looking for a place.
