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.

    Our past experiences have been much better. Last night, the food was significantly below expectation. I had the lasagna. It was a C-. The bottom layer uncooked. Our waiter, Randy, seemed like a nice enough young man but came across as aloof and mechanical in his service. Maybe he was responsible for too many tables. Despite our past experiences, last evening was so underwhelming that it will probably a long time before we return. There are so many dining options on Federal Hill that taking another chance on getting underwhelmed isn’t something we’ll do soon.

    We came here for our anniversary and were greeted at the table with a cute card. Food and drinks were great! Our server, Carvel, was very nice and brought us out a dessert along with some orangecello.

    I took my husband out for his birthday. We were lead upstairs to a little table in the corner, private and cozy with a happy birthday sign waiting. It was very sweet. We ordered the margarita pizza app and beef gnocchi as well as eggplant parm. It was all very good. Dessert was chocolate molten cake with vanilla gelato, also very good. We had a great waitstaff. Everyone involved in our service was excellent.

    Visited on a Monday night and it was a terrific evening! The entire staff was great from the wait staff to the servers to the complimentary valet which is a bonus on Federal Hill. We opted for Massimo's Monday Night Wine + Dine set price menu because they included terrific gluten free Italian options - to include GF bread. We shared the Baby Spinach, Caramelized Onion, Gorgonzola, Candied Walnuts, Pancetta, Balsamic Vinaigrette Salad, Calamari Fritti, Shrimp Scampi and Gnocchi margherita - all cooked beautifully. We parted ways on dessert so there was Tiramisu, Cannoli, and we even added a Cheesecake with Cherries. Needless to say, we are not afraid of a great meal! We will be back! Thank you!

    Fodd and service was great. Unfortunately, it was very loud and difficult to converse.
