We had a wonderful dinner at Camille’s in Providence. The atmosphere is classic old-school Italian with dim lighting, private booths, attentive service, and Frank Sinatra playing softly in the background. It’s the kind of place that feels timeless in the best way. The food was excellent. We ordered the Bolognese and a seafood pasta with red sauce we liked both they were rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The portions were generous, so we didn’t have room for appetizers or dessert, but everything we did try was outstanding. Our server made great wine recommendations that complemented the meal beautifully. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience.

I made reservations for my birthday to sit outside and it was lovely! It felt like a lot more of an intimate experience rather than sitting inside with other customers. The music and the interior design really contributed to the elegant atmosphere. My only complaint was that we were sitting for about 10-15 minutes before our server came over to greet us and take our drink orders. I’m not sure if there was a miscommunication about whose table we were but several waitstaff members walked by us multiple times including our waitress. The food and drinks were delicious! I highly recommend!

About the restaurant

THE CHASKA
EXPERIENCE
Food and drink are two of the most basic needs of human beings. However, as society evolved, food and drink became also a strong cultural aspect, being able to connect and celebrate differences.

CHASKA, a hindi term for obsession, is not just an eatery or a bar. It is an attempt to connect people with good taste for Indian food and drinks, presented with modern flair.
