    We had a wonderful dinner at Camille’s in Providence. The atmosphere is classic old-school Italian with dim lighting, private booths, attentive service, and Frank Sinatra playing softly in the background. It’s the kind of place that feels timeless in the best way. The food was excellent. We ordered the Bolognese and a seafood pasta with red sauce we liked both they were rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The portions were generous, so we didn’t have room for appetizers or dessert, but everything we did try was outstanding. Our server made great wine recommendations that complemented the meal beautifully. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience.
