Excellent chicken parm and pasta. Good quality and quantity. I also like a bunch of other dishes from there as well as breakfast.

Best ham and eggs in the area without a doubt
Lunch is great with soup and sandwich, prices are right
Not Al Forno, better

This place is a what I was looking for in E Providence, a diner that has daily specials. I went there last week for lunch, I had the chicken soup that was tasty and loaded with stock. I had the chicken parm with pasta, my meal was brought out on 2 plates, one for the pasta and one for the chicken parm. there was enough food here to feed two. The chicken parm was cooked just the way I like it, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The pasta and sauce was also very good. Based on the size and quality of the food, it was well worth my visit.
The place was a local place, the wait staff seemed to know everyone as they walked in but also made me feel veery comfortable being that it was my first visit. Well worth you time and expense for a good meal.

Impressively mediocre for the Grand Opening! of Bridgeside Diner, next to Comedy Connection where Dee’s used to be.
What went down that I have never seen in all of my days:
— the 3 waitresses eating lunch together around one of the tables (everyone needs to eat, but at least do it in the back on a break and not at the same time as other waitresses!)
— waitress sitting at back table texting (again, this is fine, assuming it’s on a break and in the back.)
My soup, sandwich, and side were all perfectly mediocre. Catering quality — what you’d expect in simplicity and blandness from an assembly line of someone pumping out 100 sandwiches at the same time — certainly not what I expected from a new, made-​to-​order restaurant.
The breakfast menu still says «Dee’s» and is covered in tape strips, drawing attention to the increasing prices. The lunch menu exists only on a handwritten sheet of computer paper. The décor hasn’t been updated in decades. I wasn’t expecting Al Fornos at a Riverside diner, but I sure as hell was expecting that my waitress would eat lunch in front of me when I needed a water refill, takeout container, and bill so I could get out the door.
Hilariously bad service and impressively mediocre food.
