Our Story
Spring Primavera Restaurant
For nearly half a century, Spring Primavera Restaurant has been a beloved destination for authentic Portuguese cuisine and American-Portuguese favorites in Rhode Island. What began as a passion for sharing traditional recipes and warm hospitality has grown into a local dining institution, welcoming generations of families, friends, and visitors through its doors.
From the beginning, our mission has remained simple: serve delicious food prepared with care, honor Portuguese culinary traditions, and create a place where guests feel at home.
A Legacy of Tradition and Hospitality
Serving Rhode Island for nearly 50 years is more than a milestone — it’s a testament to the relationships we’ve built and the memories created around our tables. Many of our guests first visited as children and now return with their own families, continuing a tradition that spans decades.
Our restaurant reflects the heart of Portuguese culture: generous portions, bold flavors, fresh ingredients, and genuine hospitality. Every dish is prepared with the same dedication to quality that has defined Spring Primavera Restaurant since day one.
Authentic Portuguese & American-Portuguese Cuisine
Our menu showcases the rich culinary heritage of Portugal alongside beloved American-Portuguese comfort dishes. Seafood plays a central role, reflecting Portugal’s coastal traditions, while grilled meats, hearty soups, and classic specialties round out the experience.
Guests come to enjoy favorites such as traditional bacalhau dishes, fresh seafood preparations, flavorful pork specialties, and perfectly grilled steaks and chicken — all served with classic accompaniments like rice, potatoes, vegetables, or salad.
Whether you’re discovering Portuguese cuisine for the first time or returning for a taste of home, our menu offers something for everyone.
A Place for Gathering and Celebration
Spring Primavera Restaurant is more than just a place to eat — it’s a place to connect. Over the years, we’ve hosted countless birthdays, anniversaries, family dinners, and casual nights out, becoming part of the fabric of the community.
