pull up and they had valet parking, a real plus as parking is dreadful. We were seated right away, nice romantic atmosphere. Had appetizers and dinner, portions were huge, no Rome for dessert and so wanted to try the cherries jubilee. I had the crab cocktail, very small, would skip that next time. My bf got the frog legs which he enjoyed, cannot find them on a menu by us. For entrees I had a veal parmigiana which was very good and bf had the steak diane. Brandon made the meal table side, all very fresh and hot! My only critique was that service was a little rushed but would go back.

We were able to get a reservation, through Open Table, during restaurant week. For $29.95, you got to choose a 3 course meal. Everything was delicious, portions healthy, great service, very accommodating (changed the orzo for a veggie). Highly recommend the sausage and peppers for an appetizer, the swordfish and pork chop for an entree. Desserts are good but average. We look forward to returning.

We were fortunate enough to get a reservation here after multiple attempts. It is a fixed 5 course meal ($65) with wine pairings ($15 per person per glass) with each course. The atmosphere was very nice and personal (family run joint). The owner personally meets all the guests and explains each meal and wine pairing. Our first three courses were fantastic, especially the fresh mozzarella. The next two were good, but not great for the price point. Unfortunately, this was not a 5 star experience for the price you pay and it would take several improvements to become one. It would have been nice to have the wine, which was amazing, decanted and room temperature instead of cold (especially the reds). Cloth instead of paper napkins and new silverware with each coarse. Lastly, the owner speaks at lightning speed when describing the wine/meal and it feels you're being rushed at times.

Whenever I travel to the Providence area for business I have to stop here for a sandwich and takeout provisions. My favorite is the Brasaola Sandwich with arugula, shaved parmesan and truffle oil. Best pick on the menu.

As I've mentioned before, I've been spoiled by being so close to New Haven Connecticut's famous pizza restaurants and the amazing pizza's they produce. If you like thin pizza, then Providence Coal Fired Pizza is for you. Our oval shaped meatball pie had the perfect amount of coal char on the bottom. It was really good. Very tasty. Definitely ranks high on the pizza we like list. I'm sure you will like it to.Finish your night off with the strawberry cheesecake or chocolate mousse and everything will be alright.Service at 8pm on a Thursday night was great. The noise level for the large open room wasn't bad either. Within walking distance to the arena, convention center and a few hotels. The night we dined free valet parking was offered.

The interior had an authentic Italian trattoria feel. There was an extensive wine list and a nice selection by the glass. The veal Marsala was delicious with an abundance of mushrooms but the fontina potato cakes were the star. The chicken carciofi had beautifully turned artichokes. Excellent service. Dear Andrew,Thank you so much for this rave review. Weâre so glad you enjoyed your entire experience with us. Please come back in again soon! Cheers!

We were visiting friends from Portsmouth RI. They said this was a nice restaurant and they had been there a few times before. This trip was disappointing. The veal Marsala $31.00 was tough as well as the Veal Parmigiana, capellini $31.00. The Gnocchi $20.00 was doughy. The Crab Ravioli $30.00 was OK but nothing special. The service was fine. The wine list is quite extensive (Wine Spectator award) but they are expensive.$64.00 for a $17.00 Nebbiolo that I have purchased retail at more than one shop. All and all this was a disappointment when looking forward to a nice dinner in a classy setting. We probably won't return.

I will never have carbonara pasta again. Because no carbonara will ever be as good as the one I ate last week at Massimo. Phenomenal. The gluten-free penne was not extraordinary on its own (apart from its existence, which was wonderful!!), but the sauce was just incredible. My gluten-ful friend enjoyed her ravioli dish--we quit talking and ate for a solid half hour, because it was so excellent. We also ordered a celiac-friendly caprese special for an appetizer that might be the best caprese either of us had ever had. The tomatoes were juicy and fresh, the mozzerella was the perfect texture, and the basil was bright and fresh.I may go back to Rhode Island just to have this meal again. The service was excellent, and our desserts (gluten free chocolate cake/fudge for me!) and cocktails were spot-on.

Love the food; inventive choices and always a pleasant buzz (noisy to some). Tried some seasonal items; squash flowers are excellent, corn pizza a treat. Pasta dishes as always best in flavor in Providence. Wine and service were very good but the issue is the wait. I get it no reservations except for 6 or more so Iâm prepared for a 60+ minute wait. Itâs the lack of waiting area to enjoy a drink or 2. The bar is taken up with people eating NOT drinking leaving us âwaitersâ to search for a seat (there were none) or stand around in everyoneâs way.So go with 6 or more or go at 5pm anything other is a torturous, uncomfortable wait not befitting such a great restaurant.
