WOODY'S,

When a small breakfast cafe in Westerly began serving dinner almost three years ago, it was the buzz of foodies in South County. Well, the buzz about Woody's (named after a fictional dog) has started up again, because owners Ted and Kim Monahan have reopened, this time in Narragansett. Although the first of their appetizers (called tapas) nods toward the Southwest (squash-and-red-pepper quesadillas with a chipotle creme fraiche) and a Provencal broth provides the base for two seafood dishes, most of the Monahan's specials are Italian, or, more specifically, Tuscan, as in a spicy white-bean sauce and the Tuscan bread salad. For an entree, my choice had thick slices of grilled pizza as its first layer, sundried tomato couscous as the second, and a mound of roasted vegetables decoratively placed on top. My mate had the Mediterranean ravioli with white-bean sauce ($16.01). Delicious. We're glad the Monahans are back.

Full review.
