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 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.

    I had reservations for a birthday and Massimo made this even more special. My table had a happy birthday sign and some little birthday stars on the table. After dinner they our server Janelle who was absolutely fantastic brought out a little birthday dessert. The whole experience and this extra Massimo did was top notch. Thank you for a great experience

    I want to be clear that service from waitstaff was AMAZING. However, we had to wait nearly 45 minutes past our reservation time to be seated.

    We had a great early dinner. The appetizer was a delicious Burrata plate; entrées were orechietti with sausage and broccoli rabe, and fusilli with polpetti.

    Food was excellent. My mom has a gluten allergy and they gave one of the best gluten free menus around.
