    The food was excellent. The beet salad was awesome and I had the lemon chicken and it was delicious and my husband had the pork chop and he said that it was delicious. Our waiter Derek was very attentive and he was awesome. We will definitely be back . 😊

    This is a charming restaurant inhabiting a well preserved property. There are multiple rooms which inspire notions of an earlier time period. The food is refined and traditional Italian served by thoughtful and unassuming professionals. Plenty of nice wine and cocktail choices... A very easy place to make a regular stop or a celebration worthy destination! Wonderful...

    Experience was very good. Food could have been warmer. It seemed as it was prepared and waited till we finished our appetizer.

    The food was absolutely exquisite—flavorful, well-prepared, and beautifully presented. Service was great overall, with attentive and friendly staff. The ambiance was lovely, though my seat faced a blank wall, which limited my view of the décor. Despite that, I’d happily return and just ask for a better seat next time

    Sarah & Nick took care of me for an early dinner before a community conversation downtown about RI Healthcare. It was superb & tasty. Thanks to the chef/kitchen staff.

    Maria Cucina is festive and atmospheric which is why we chose this restaurant for a special occasion. Unfortunately much of the food for our party of 8 was inedible- especially the fish and chicken selections which were so dry they couldn’t be eaten. The only decent entrees our table of 8 ordered were the veal parm and the pasta with clams. So if you go, order old school.

    This is as close to Italy as it gets! Being located in the Italian American Club was a real treat! It was a great meal and the service was superb. Zack seated me and Nick was our server. They were both exceptional and very professional. I will definitely return the next time I am in Providence.
