This place is popular for a reason. The good was great, although I didn't like the sauce on the lobster ravioli. The drinks were delicious and the staff is really nice
We had a lovely anniversary dinner at Hoof's this week. Oysters and mussels for starters and filet mignon and salmon main. One of the best steaks I've had! Fab service from Kelsey too.

This place is 100/100. The dishes were phenom. Had a watermelon gazpacho and white truffle fettuccine. Kyle the bartender kept the vibes high and recommended a great array of local beers. Came solo to chill at the bar and met great people while in town. Def recommend. :)

Hoof’s is a great choice for upscale but local Westerly dining. Although not presented as an Italian restaurant, that smash it out of the park with all the basics. Meatballs are the best! From Boston to New York you will not find a better meatball. Their pasta in fresh hand made. The chef pairs the perfect Hand tossed pasta unique to each dish. The chicken and veal parm are a balance of crispy and juicy. Not too thick nor too thin. Chicken Marsala and piccata are classic and velvet sauce. They serve a unique red pepper hummus with bread as a welcoming treat. The tables and floors are immaculate and shows great efforts go into presentation here. The seafood is local and fresh the scallops seared perfectly. I had the watermelon salad and topped with the scallops. Great summer choice. They allow you to add on to any order and don’t leave without trying the meatballs even as a side dish. The staff is friendly and family works and owns here. You do need reservations so call ahead or use the Resy app.
First time eating at Hoof‘s, absolutely delicious and worth every bite!!! The restaurant is located in downtown Pawcatuck,next to the railroad bridge. It is within walking distance to downtown Westerly. We had dinner reservations at 6 o’clock, that I made through Open Table. We arrived and were seated promptly. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. My friends and I started with a Waldorf salad(special), which we split and delicious cocktails. The Watermelon martini, as so yummy and so refreshing. We each ordered an entrée and then shared the most delicious triple chocolate cake to celebrate two of our birthday’s. The Seared scallop over lobster risotto(special) was cooked perfectly. The Chicken Francese was cooked perfectly as well. The spinach, artichoke and sun dried tomato over the chicken was so good. I cannot wait to go back again for dinner.
Super fast service, delicious food--lobster ravioli--with generous portion sizes, excellent server. Would definitely recommend.
Loved this Italian restaurant in Westerly/Pawcatuck! We did have reservations and they do recommend making one. The bread and red pepper hummus served was delicious! The food came out very fast and well prepared!! We enjoyed the calamari which was perfect and a great flavor including the cherry peppers and artichokes. We loved our housemade pasta dishes! The pasta was great! I really loved my white truffle fettuccine!! It had a delicious taste with the right amount of truffle and pancetta! The service was great and the waitress helped recommend a perfect wine for my husband's meal, the pinot noir by Saddlebred. Dessert was a key lime pie which seemed to have a chocolate or oreo crust which is was interesting but the consistency and texture of the key lime pie was great! Creamsicle Martini tasted exactly as is and enjoyed the passion fruit mojito too! Will certainly come back again!
Okay so let's be real. The location for upscale Italian is horrible. Don't drive by! Once inside the people and atmosphere make you forget all that. It is pricey as listed but WELL worth it. You will not be disappointed. Definitely worth a try. But again your wallet will be thinner on the way out.
This place was amazing in every way, highly recommended if you are in the area. The food was authentic and reminded us of being in Rome. Our waiter was witty and great at his job, and told us his favorite dishes and we went with a couple of his recommendations.
Old school feel Italian restaurant. Amazing food. The arugula salad, pasta, and chicken milanese were great. Service was top notch. They also have a full list of different martinis!
Our waiter Steve was fantastic. He was very attentive but not overbearing and absolutely hustling his butt off to make make sure we had everything we wanted on an extremely busy night.
The Blackened Swordfish was delicious and desserts were good. Our table was kept clean between courses. The manager came over to make sure everything was going smoothly which was a nice touch.
Although a bit loud (which is to be expected at any restaurant on a busy night) the overall ambiance was great.
Highly recommend
Update 10/26/2023: very consistent. The food was once again delicious. Coincidentally, we had Steven as our server again. It was pretty busy, but he was on top of it! Flow of service was perfect. Our water glasses were never empty and we always had what we needed before we knew we needed it!
Fantastic place for a birthday dinner. The food was out of this world and our server Taylor was so helpful with my mother's food allergies to make sure she had a wonderful time. Everything came out exactly as we ordered, loved it!
The food at this place was amazing! It's a little far outside of where I would normally go, but we were getting pictures taken in the area, and we were looking for dinner. Delicious, as did the cocktails. I ended up having a truffle alfredo and my fiance had a bolognese and it was to die for. I wish this place wasn't an hour away from my house, otherwise we'd be back more often.
Overall, nice Italian restaurant. But be careful if you’re lactose intolerant or vegan. The chef puts cheese in the pasta dishes even if it doesn’t say that there is cheese in it on the menu!
I had a wonderful experience at Hoofs. I can see why it gets so busy. I ordered the Bolognese and loved it. Service was also excellent. Will definitely be back!
