Greenwich Bay Oyster Bar Opens

Continuing the EG restaurant renaissance, the new Main Street eatery celebrates seafood.

It was a cafe, it was a bagel place, it was a coffee shop. The space at 250 Main Street has been a lot things lately. The latest incarnation is the Greenwich Bay Oyster Bar – and it looks to have staying power. Owner David Spaziano took his time reshaping the cozy space, with a nautical theme, including an homage to our state motto: Hope. "I've always been in love with Rhode Island and the water and the Ocean State," Spaziano said about his focus on seafood. "It's a fundamental part of East Greenwich. We have a great area here."

New Restaurant To Open At Former Hemenways Site

The couple originally behind Tyler Point Grille in Barrington have moved across the bay and plan to open mid-May.

A new restaurant that describes its cuisine in part as “a splash of Italy” aims to open in early May at 28 Water Street on Greenwich Cove, in the building that was occupied by Hemenways Restaurant until January. Nautika Restaurant and Bar will be operated by the husband-and-wife team of Mario and Cheryl Micheletti, with Mario serving as head chef. The Michelettis owned and operated Tyler Point Grille in Barrington for many years until selling recently. The new restaurant’s Facebook page described Nautika as offering “fresh flavors of summer and sea, with a splash of Italy. Cocktails, dancing, live music and entertainment.” The restaurant will be open seasonally, from May to September, said Cheryl Micheletti. For the past couple of weeks, …
