Provaré

Provaré is a fun, brightly lit Creole and Italian spot in West Town. The busy space has an R&B playlist that will make you realize how much you enjoy 90s Usher, and you’ll get complimentary shots of one of their house cocktails as soon as you sit down. The menu is short (just a few appetizers and mains) but what's on it is really good. Standout dishes include cheesy spinach and artichoke dip filled with shrimp and crawfish, shrimp Hennessy scampi, and bone-in lamb chops with corn. Oh, and they have a couple of vegan options, too—like bolognese made with Impossible Meat and brussels sprouts topped with vegan parmesan.
