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.

    We enjoyed a delicious meal of grilled Branzino & Chicken Picatta. Food, ambience, service - all excellent. Look forward to a return visit next time we are in Providence.

    From the moment we arrived to celebrate our birthdays, our experience was fantastic! We return here each year and again had the same waitress, Gabrielle. She was outstanding! Attentive, but not in your face and she even gave us a special birthday treat! We were seated immediately at the time of our reservation, the drinks and food came out in a very timely manner. Both dishes were delicious, and Gabrielle even took multiple photos of our happy day! We couldn’t have asked for a better brunch! We will be going back again next year😀

    The food is outstanding but... Our upstairs table was noisy; there were several large parties. We love this place but this time - the service was absolutely terrible and that made our dinner experience poor. Our server lacked in all ways, including not circling back after dropping dinner, and leaving dirty appetizer plates on the table when she brought our main course, among a few other disappointing things. We skipped their delicious desserts and after dinner drinks because of it. We'll decide it we give them another try, it would be a shame not to because the food is so delicious. BTW the bartender on the main floor gave us better service while we waited for our table, and we didn't even order anything yet.
