owner was rude

We were frequent customers and we had brought many family members there. We were treated horribly tonight. I ordered sword fish. It was over cooked and dry. I told the server that it was dry. He told the owner. He sat next to me and said that the fish was fresh and that's how it is cooked and he would not cook me another one. Then he said I could cook you something else or not. OR NOT - HOW INSULTING IS THAT? IN OTHER WORDS I DONT CARE. I asked for the Scrod Tony that they used to have on the menu (basically baked Scrod with tomatoes and cheese). The server said he didn?t think it would a problem. The server came back and said that it couldn?t be done. I SAY WILL NOT DO IT. What, they don?t have any cheese and tomatoes? HORRIBLE HORRIBLE SERVICE.

We went two blocks down the street to Sogno's and were treated like royalty. We will not be back.

Best Calamari Anywhere

by leslieortizlopez at Citysearch

I highly recommend this restaurant, the food is great, big dishes, and we always have leftovers. Their menu has a lot to choose from. One of my favorites!

• Pros: little expensive but worth it

Great food!

I've been to Tony Papa's twice and the food was dyno-mite both times! The Buffalo Calamari appetizer isn't on the menu anymore, but ask for it -- it's a great twist on a RI favorite.
