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 had the best anniversary dinner at Massimo! The staff, food, and atmosphere were exceptional. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we felt celebrated on our first anniversary!

    When we arrived, the hostess was rude and very curt, although we did get a table with an amazing server Michael. The food was also not as good as we expected. We are familiar with the de Quatro family and quality of food. Pretty disappointing.

    Our Mother's Day dinner was perfect! Our server was friendly and fun and the food was delicious. We had wonderful cocktails as well - my husband loved his negroni and my cosmo was perfect. We all had different delicious entrees from the eggplant parmigiana to the frutti di mare. My son loved his orechiette pasta with broccoli and vegan sausage in a pesto sauce. (Thank you for vegetarian options!!!!) My mother's baked gnocci was fantastic in the pink vodka sauce. All yummy! We'll be back.

    Went for Mother’s Day brunch - out of a party of 4, only 2 enjoyed their meal - specifically the brunch items that were breakfast type food were nothing special. Service was poor, no inquiry for a second cup of coffee and had to ask for utensils twice.

    We went for Mother’s Day brunch and it was excellent. My wife had the Belgian waffle, which was so good I wish I had gotten it too. Luckily, I was able to finish hers off. It was a beautiful day, and the open air element makes for a great ambience.

    Food was very good. Our waiter wasn’t! After ordering he vanished. We wanted another drink which he failed to deliver. He came back with dessert menus and asked what happen to the drinks. We declined desert and left
