NORTH PROVIDENCE – This town is still a bedroom community and should stay as such, say members of the Town Council, who are voicing strong concerns about a seemingly relatively new phenomenon of restaurants functioning as disruptive nightclubs.
“The issue we’re facing in this town is these places thinking they can run like nightclubs,” Council President Dino Autiello told The Breeze. “This is becoming a problem.”
Unfortunately, he said, business owners are coming before the council and misrepresenting what they plan to do, and the resulting outcomes are leading to diminished quality of life in a town where residential neighborhoods back right up to the establishments.

Developer also preparing to open new ice cream shop
NORTH PROVIDENCE – Shane Piche, whose first restaurant, Centredale Revival Co., broadcasts in its name exactly what his plans are for the village, is now preparing to open a second restaurant nearby as part of his larger plan to make this an attractive destination.
Piche last week received a liquor license and victualing license from the Town Council for what he’s calling a classy pizza restaurant, Pie Republic at 1985 Smith St., at the entrance to the Centredale roundabout. The approval was subject to Piche meeting zoning requirements for parking.
NORTH PROVIDENCE – The 787 Restaurant and Lounge, in the former Oki’s space at 1270 Mineral Spring Ave., is no longer allowed to open on weekends if the owners don’t have a police detail in place, expanding on a previous requirement for a police presence.
Town Council members, several clearly reaching the limits of their patience with the establishment after numerous complaints from neighbors, made the requirement last week.
“When is 787 not going to be on agenda anymore?” Council President Dino Autiello asked owner Liz Vazquez at the April 6 meeting. He said there are simple fixes to the problems that keep being brought up. “Why are we still addressing this?”
