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.

    Every dish we had was outstanding. From the quality of the olive Oil and Focaccia, to the grilled Octopus with gigante beans and the Ceasar was excellent. Our Veal wrapped in Prosciutto was truly outstanding Highly recommended.

    Came in to celebrate my dads birthday and our experience was the best. Carvelle was so attentive to our large party and incredibly hospitable. Even on busy Saturday night, we had a lovely experience with every staff member we interacted with. We will definitely be back in the future!

    Very nice ambience. Food was very good but so much it was almost overwhelming. Wish the gnocchi had not been in as I just like the taste! Eggplant was thin sliced and delightful-would have been fine without pasta! Service was excellent!

    We celebrated my mom's 80th birthday there and had a wonderful time. Our server, Michael, provided excellent service and was attentive to a gluten allergy. They had a sweet little sign on the table for her birthday and tasteful glitter. All the food was excellent!

    Had dinner here, one of many italian restaurants on Federal Hill. Overall disappointed in the experience. The food is good, but it failed on most other levels. We had a reservation for dinner. When we arrived we were offered a terrible table, immediated next to another larger party (inches apart) and just outside the kitchen door, which banged loudly every few seconds as people when in and out. There were other nicer tables that were empty, but when we asked about them, we were told that they were reserved for others (I thought we had a reservation also, but was told it only applied to that one table). We also learned that they ony allowed exactly 1.5 hours for parties of 2 and we would have to be out by that time. Worst, the Maitre-D and then the Manager, who was called, were both inflexible, unconcerned and frankly rude. They were happy to have us leave without dining rather than seat us anywhere else in the large restaurant with several empty tables. Finally, as a last resort, we were offered a high-top in the bar, which we accepted. It is not a particularly nice table, but then the regular dining area is crowded and somewhat shabby anyway. The hightop is by itself in a cluttered corner next to a serving station, the only high-top in the bar area. The bartender who waited on us was nice, but became less attentive as the bar filled up. Eventually, barroom became so crowded that people were standing right behind me and actually bumping into me while I ate. Bottom line, we will not be dining here again. I might order take-out, the food is good, although expensive, but why patronize a restaurant that doesn't care about the experience or comfort of its patrons.
