Or check out the poofy, upscale places in Providence that do coconut calamari or eastern calamari. But really, the whole state is calamari crazy.

I haven't been to Newport in like two decades. Been angling to go there (wife's never been), but it's a long haul. This might compel me to make the effort.
Best calamari I had was from an Italian deli near the Village. Damned if I can recall the name. It was perfect. Never tough, and the garlic was sweet. I'd get a 20 oz container and down it in the car. Probably not great for one's cholestrol.
