1. Twin's Pizza
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 82 reviews
Reviewed By danjoan14 - RI
Twins still has the best pizza in RI. I've been going here for years. When I was young, we would always get Italian grinders and pizza every Friday night. I've gotten my wife's family hooked on Twins. My nephew now lives in VA, and always makes this his first stop when he returns home to visit. IMHO, Twins, by far, has the best pizza in RI. Love to get it well done. Always good to reheat the left over pizza if there's any left. I highly recommend Twins. The place is always busy. More so on the weekends. Never a disappointing meal.

This is first ever restaurant I went to, when I arrived in RI. In RI, this is one of the places which offer indian food that can be considered close to authentic. The ambience is very warm, with various pcitures of women from indian villages...MoreHi Jegan, thank you for your review and feedback. We hope to see you again soon.

Our waitress, the Peruvian Camille, advised us to try their special version that night of their Causa Limena which added crab and other unusual things. This was the first plate that was even better than their Cervice Classico. We shared the entree sized Cerviche with a Churasco al Gaucho. For wine, Ali advised us to try their Chilean Calypra Chardonnay..which was a spectacular match for our meal. We had coffee and our tres leches for dessert. Thanks to Diego Curi for seating us, Andrea Curi for her gracious welcome, and my apology to Stephanie for allowing me to switch tables so I could practice my Dominican Spanish. We are eating all of our leftovers for a home dinner tonight.

Dinner for 2. It was my first time there and we tried a few appetizers and the tamales. Everything was sooo good. I’ve only been a vegetarian for about 3 months - and it was great to see some alternative options (like the tempeh tacos ) so good !!!
6. Massimo Restaurant
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 356 reviews
From Joseph + Esther DeQuattro of Pane Vino comes the much anticipated Massimo. Massimo brings the quintessential Italian trattoria to Providence’s Federal Hill Neighborhood. Offering a seasonal Italian menu inspired by the regional cuisines of Italy. Signature dishes include Fettuccine alla Carbonara with guanciale and a farm fresh egg, the Fig & Taleggio Pizza, and the House-Aged Rib-eye “Fiorentina.” Located at the gateway to federal hill, Massimo is classically designed to create a warm and lively setting, featuring dark woods and bright pops of yellow. Massimo’s spacious dining room has giant sliding glass doors that lend an al fresco feel to the entire first floor. Upstairs, the glass-enclosed dining room – including a full bar & lounge – make it the perfect place for occasions of all scopes and sizes, whether it’s a quiet night out with friends and family, a corporate team building event, or a boisterous celebration with seating for up to 100 guests. Massimo has unique Italian wines from small boutique Italian winemakers and a cellar selection from Italy, Spain and California. Our approach to wine is accessibility, quality and variety to encourage unfettered enjoyment. Our bar features beers on tap, cocktails, and a large selection of classic Italian amari, grappa and many other Italian liqueurs.

My recent meal at Massimo was hit-and-miss, but mostly everything was fantastic. The Orecchiette con Salsiccia was one of the best pasta dishes I've ever had, and the Pollo al Limone was perfectly cooked and flavorful; however, the meal fell flat with the spaghetti carbonara which both came out cold and bland -- other reviews mention issues with the carbonara as well, so I would stay away from it entirely. Also, the caprese special we ordered lacked taste, mainly missing salt. Despite these two dishes, everything else was perfect: the waitstaff was incredibly hospitable and the restaurant's decor makes for an inviting ambiance.

We recently had breakfast at this absolutely delightful diner. The food was delicious. When it was served, it was steaming hot...almost too hot to eat! The portions were generous and well seasoned. The staff was very friendly and efficient. Would love to try for lunch and dinner next time I am in the area.

Food was delicious and very fresh! The falafel was crisp and freshly fried, the meat was juicy and flavorful, and all the toppings were fresh tasting. There was little seating but well worth the trip. It was also extremely reasonably priced.

Wonderful place for dinner. Comfortable dining room, superb service, excellent food. Some dishes need to be simplified, however. For example, the perfectly grilled octopus was lost in a mess of sauce, chorizo, roasted peppers, and fingerling potatoes. Too much! Lighten the touch on some dishes for the better.
10. Pawtucket House of Pizza

Reviewed By Joe P - Bristol, Rhode Island
Many of our friends and family live in Lincoln, Rhode Island. So, we often need to have takeout food for either lunch or dinner. We have come to Pawtucket House and Pizza on numerous occasions. We usually get the pizza as well as many other grinders. The food is always the best and the service is impeccable. The food is always ready before 10 minutes. The people cooking it are always very nice and accommodating. Although we usually just pick it up as there is no delivery, there are tables there for people who would like to eat at the place as well. Centrally located on Smithfield Avenue, you can't go wrong coming here.
