About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for groups
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.

    Great food, attentive but not overly fussy service, we sat inside but with open walls looking out onto vibrant street and community. Highlights included the Rigatone de Cardinale and the Tiramisu. Will definitely be back to try more!

    Never refilled our water until we requested. We asked to get the coke refill, they totally forgot about it. Seldomly came to ask us if we are good with the dishes. Came to ask if we are finish with the dishes while we still have food in our plates. Asked if we to box the food. We said no, then just take away all the plates. Is that racism!? Will never came again.

    Service and atmosphere were good, but food was a bit hit and miss: my prawn risotto was tasty but my partner’s meatballs and sauce were bland and lacked true Italian authenticity. The cost was fair though.

    Excellent food and service in a pleasant atmosphere. The beef carpaccio was by far one of the best I’ve had. The pasta was perfectly aldente. The chocolate gelato was amazing. If in providence again will definitely choose again.
