Fanizzi's in Provincetown

OK so it's not Providence but it's sound a lot like it.

Anyway, on a recent day trip to the very tip of Cape Cod we stopped for lunch at this place on Commercial Street in Provincetown. The food was OK, service friendly but rushed -- the place was packed since there was virtually nothing else open in town. But the view was incredible.




Spring rolls for starters (over-fried and oddly tough we thought):


Susan had a Caesar with grilled chicken (not bad):


And I had fresh cod (locally caught I was told), fried with cheddar on a toasted bun with fries.


I thought the fish tasted rather bland and the fries had an unusual crispy coating, which didn't have an impact on the flavor one way or the other. The slaw, however, was not the typical sloppy mayonnaise mess but a crisp, tasty vinegar concoction that was actually quite good.

We washed the meal down with an inexpensive but crisp vinho verde (Portugal). Oh, and we skipped dessert.
