Look Who’s Buying & Selling Local Food

Here are just a couple of the many wholesale customers who ordered from local farmers, fishers, foragers, ranchers, and food makers through Market Mobile this week!

22 Bowen’s
Bowen’s Warf
Newport, RI

22 Bowen’s evokes Newport with its charm and sense of place. It’s a classic harbor side tavern, rich in texture and tradition; a place with sophisticated charm, defined by its casual elegance, indulgent food, classic drinks and warm, genuine hospitality. Step into the past and the present and be part of the scene at the City by the Sea’s premier waterfront dining destination.

 

Al Forno
577 South Water St
Providence, RI

Al Forno Restaurant opened on January 2, 1980, and chef-owners Johanne Killeen & George Germon took Providence by storm — bringing simple renditions of food rooted in the various regions of Italy to their riverfront restaurant kitchen. Dishes are re-crafted to reflect the products of New England’s farms and waters cooked in blazing hot ovens and on grills over hardwood charcoal fires. Their training in the fine arts is evident in the original, creative techniques used for signature dishes such as Grilled Pizza, High-Heat Roasted Veggie Entree, Dirty Steak with Hot Fanny Sauce, Clams Al Forno, a unique collection of Baked Pasta, and made-to-order desserts such as Hand-Churned Ice Cream, Fresh Fruit Tarts, Baby Cakes, and the Grand Cookie Finale. The innovative cooking at Al Forno has produced a trail of George and Johanne’s dishes all over the world.
