Dinner: Rhode Island Meets the Riviera

Rhode Island is having a moment, and Littleneck Hospitality Group is right in the middle of it. The team behind James Beard Award semifinalist® Club Frills, Pizza Marvin, and the newly anointed hotspot Pescadou, Newport’s refined French brasserie, heads to New York for a Rhode Island-meets-Riviera-inspired dinner. Two-time James Beard Award semifinalist® chef Robert Andreozzi will be joined by Best Chef: Northeast semifinalist® William Rietzel to spotlight Ocean State classics reinterpreted through a refined French lens. 

Jesse Hedberg, a 2026 James Beard Award semifinalist® for Outstanding Professional in Cocktail Service, will be mixing up creative libations and channeling the spirited hospitality that’s put these Providence and Newport, Rhode Island contemporary classics on every culinary explorer’s map. 

This one-night-only dinner will feature a cocktail reception with passed hors d'oeuvre upon arrival, an expertly crafted multi-course menu with thoughtfully curated wine or beverage pairings, and a Q&A with the featured chefs.
