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 dining experience again from Massimo! My daughter’s favorite dish, Spaghetti al Nero con Aragosta was spot on and the red sangria paired the meal.

    Great food and service...but indoor seating was nearly as hot as outdoor. "Bennie" and "Guinivere" were terrific servers!

    Wonderful experience! We ordered lasagna, short rib gnocchi, fettuccine and the Father’s Day special with asparagus and prosciutto. Everything was delicious. We also got sangria, mojito, and molten chocolate cake, and they were also all delightful. Service was prompt, friendly, and attentive, even at the end of the day on a holiday. This was our second time coming to this restaurant because we remembered having such a positive experience the first time, and they didn’t disappoint. Great ambiance, Federal Hill, big comfortable booths, reasonably priced. It was just all good! Definitely recommend.

    Massimo never disappoints. The food, service and overall experience is always top notch. The only problem we had during this visit was that it was freezing. The air conditioning was turned up.

    Leisurely, late lunch. Restaurant was not too busy. Nice variety on the menu. We shared a small fig & prosciutto pizza as an appetizer. For meals, we had the Shrimp over Risotto and the Pork Chop meals. All the food was very tasty.
