Olivia Culpo shared a list of 13 restaurants she loves in Rhode Island. Check it out.

When it comes to dining, Rhode Island's Olivia Culpo is known to have taste.

The reality star's family has opened five restaurants in the state – The Back 40, Union + Main, Lake Taco, Evie's and Black Oak Kitchen & Drink – since 2017 that she has a hand in. And she's always made it known on social media that she loves Rhode Island food.

So it's little surprise that when she did an Ask Me Anything on her Instagram stories someone asked her for her Rhode Island restaurant recommendations and she delivered.

She responded with no fewer than 13 spots to try. Here's a look at her list.
