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.

    Lovely pre-holiday luncheon. Lots of choices on the luncheon and dinner menus. Excellent service. Good wine list, plenty of cocktails/special drinks if wine is not your thing. The "Presto" lunch is an excellent value: starter, main, dessert. Portions appropriate size for lunches.

    Our waitress, Charlotte, was excellent. Very attentive with just the right amount of “check in.” Servers who helped were friendly, too. Menu has a nice variety of dishes and our food was very good with nice presentation. We were downstairs and it is very noisy. At times, it was hard to have a conversation. Tables are tight.

    We have eaten at Massimino several times and have never been disapointed until this time We ordered cocktail they were deleivered proptly and then order or brunch food. Waited about 45 minutes and our Server who was wonderful told us she didn't know why food was taking so long as the restaurant was not that crowded. Food finaly arrived, but the dish my husband was served was not what he ordered.. My food was good and the Server asked if my husband still wanted to order At this point we were late for an appointment to he chose not to order, but just eat the bread that was served. We were again disapointed that the Manager didn't comp our cocktails or do something else for the wrong food and extemely long waiting time for our order

    Massimo has been around a while. Solid Italian choice on the hill. This time we sat upstairs in the back room, due to a function upstairs as well. Just a little to closed off in there. Prefer downstairs or upstairs when it's wide open. Had the carpaccio to start, very good, but I have to get used to the new economy, a little less beef, with a little more greens. Also had the veal shank special, was good as well. Others in the party had the shrimp and risotto. Was good as well, no complaints here. Service was on top of all orders, and refills.
