Italian
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 contemporary Italian menu inspired by the regional cuisines of Italy. Signature dishes include the Spaghettini alla Carbonara; Fig & Gorganzola Pizza; and House-Cured Duck Confit “Anatra”.

Massimo is classically designed to create a warm and lively setting. Massimo’s spacious dining room and glass-enclosed private 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, or a boisterous celebration with dozens of guests.

Massimo has unique Italian wines from small boutique Italian winemakers (available nowhere else!) and a cellar selection from Italy, Spain and California. Our approach to wine is accessibility, quality and variety to encourage unfettered enjoyment.

    This is the first time we have sat upstairs, and we loved it!! My parents are 89 &90, so they appreciated that it was a bit quieter. We had the zucchini blossoms and Caesar salad as appetizers which were fabulous! The dinner portions were large for us, but the eggplant. Never disappoints and the meatballs with burrata were delicious (the pasta was unneeded!). Our waiter was amazing—I s wish I could remember his name!! Another wonderful meal on the way home from the airport…

    Service (Gabrielle) was off the charts good. We had a group of 7, she did a great job. We love Pane E Vino which is the same ownership group, and Il Massimo is as good for sure. Food was excellent from appetizers through entrees to desserts. Highly recommend, and we will definitely be back.

    Massimo's provided a very good dining experience while visiting Providence. The calamari was great, lasagna was wonderful and arugula salad was delicious. Their homemade focaccia bread is fresh and so good. My caesar salad was disappointing for an Italian restaurant. Our server was very personable and friendly. We dined outside and it can get a little noisy from the traffic.

We especially enjoyed the meat and cheese appetizer. It was our 51st anniversary and we could not have picked a better place to celebrate.

    I heard about this restaurant from some friends who raved about the food. The restaurant is on Federal Hill in DT Pvd and the ambiance is great. I made reservations online well in advance for a party of 7 for my husband's birthday. They sat us at the front entrance in a booth behind the host/hostess station. I was disappointed in that but was looking forward to the meal. The drinks were good but the food was just ok. Nothing was wrong with our meal; it was just adequate for the price. I've been to many other locations on Federal Hill where the food was better. I will also add that I've been hear for brunch and would go again for brunch but most likely not my first choice for dinner.

    As always, the food was delicious! We sat in the upstairs dining room which was lovely, great atmosphere, especially good for a special occasion, group dinner or a date night quieter dinner for 2. Our server Gabrielle was awesome. She gave us some great entree recommendations. The AC was a bit chilly but at our request she was able to have it lower a bit to a more comfortable temperature. We never felt rushed. The Desserts were sinfully amazing too. We will go back again and again.
