Davenport’s Restaurant

1925 Pawtucket Avenue
East Providence, Rhode Island 02914
Phone: 401.438.3381

In February 1990, Gregg Davenport and his mother, Claire, opened Davenport’s Family Restaurant at 1070 Mendon Road, Cumberland, RI.

At that time, the entire restaurant consisted of one room.  One year later, we expanded the menu with the addition of beer and wine. With the loyalty and support of our wonderful clientele, it was only a few short months later before we acquired the entire building. We felt like we hit the lottery when we received a full liquor license which enabled us to build the lounge area.

In February 2000, Davenport’s Bar & Grill was opened at 1925 Pawtucket Avenue, East Providence, RI as our second location. Today this location consists of three dining rooms, a lounge area, outside patio dining, and a banquet room which accommodates 80 people for various functions.

Sakis Pizzeria

199 Weybosset Street
Providence, Rhode Island 02903
Phone: 401.277.2547

Sakis Pizzeria was established on August 5, 1982 and was founded by owner Dionisios (Dennis) Sampalis. The goal was to create a pizzeria serving delicious, affordable food with a Greek twist to the downtown Providence public. The small family business was opened in one of Providence’s oldest historic buildings, across the street from the Providence Preforming Arts Center and Johnson & Wales University. In 2010, after years of planning, the Sampalis family undertook the renovations of the historic building and the restaurant, transforming Sakis Pizzeria to include a full service pizzeria, bar and grille.
