About Vivolo’s Chowder House

Mark Davis and Julie Vivolo Davis

Founders and Owners It is no surprise that Boston born chef, Mark Davis, brought his recipe with him from Boston and has been pleasing chowder-heads ever since. Voted “Best Clam Chowder” for many years by the Coast Weekly readers, he serves the chowder in a sourdough bread bowl and unique to Vivolo’s, with a garlic cheese lid, delicious!

I lived in Newport, R.I. for a couple of years, and don't recall any red chowder. But that was about 30 years ago. Could have changed since then. @dstroy may know if they served it at any of the local joints. Thames Street, or thereabouts.

I lived in Newport for 3 years, Narragansett for a year. I had red chowder at Great American Pub, across the street from The Red Parrot. I could get red chowder down by Coast Guard House in Narragansett.

Nothing to write home about, like most things in Rhode Island.

I recall the name Red Parrot. I hung out at the end of Thames at the IA bar. And the Brick Alley Pub where they had a guy playing guitar. And sometimes when you walked in, everybody would clap. Bitter cold.

I'm from the Midwest; so honest question. Was all that white and red clam "chowda" talk, sexual innuendo for different times of the month?
:lol::oops::-?:confused:
Eta: and fish tacos....?!?!...c'mon you can't make this stuff up...

Nah, all legit. You haven't lived til you've had fish tacos, one of my top 10 meals. A buddy (now deceased) and I would take a small grill with us on the boat and catch fish a few miles out of Morro Bay. We had all the fixin's and 10 min from a wiggler on the line to a fine taco

Ohhh yea, Brick Alley... I liked that place. Also The Marina was nice... it literally was a marina, bar. I think the name has since changed.

What was the name of that pizza place half way down Thames? It was open til like 3am or some shit.

Now that I think of it, I do remember the IA bar. That was towards the very end where it was mostly houses.

Not sure about the pizza joint. But there was a place right off the main drag, pretty much on the marina that I would go to. I'd get a bucket of steamers, crusty bread and butter, and a beer. Was that The Marina?

I remember going to this club that had a sand pit for dancing. This was in the late 80's.

Nah all New England style on Thames. Some Northwest style too (sour cream, a little more garlic, Ivars style).

Maybe anthony’s Seafood serves it idk we never ate there (long lines, even more tourists than the red parrot, $$$$)

Closest we came to manhattan style was bouillabaisse, which is delicious.
