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 went here for my birthday and my dad’s birthday-it was wonderful! I wish I could have remembered our servers name but she was a delight! (Perhaps you could look it up…table for four at 6:00 on December 27th under the name Jillian.) We have been here before, but this time really felt special. Were we’re even surprised with birthday gelato! It was really wonderful.My sister was in town from Los Angeles, and this experience with our parents was so wonderful especially as we all are getting older. The food was of course top notch, but the ambience and service really brought everything together.

    Lovely restaurant and excellent food. The restaurant was empty when we arrived and ordered, but quickly filled up after that and our food took a very long time to arrive. Not a huge deal, and great meal overall!

    I went there for a nice Christmas Eve. Dinner had reservations for 730 ,I waited for approximately 45 minutes afterwards, in a3 foot hallway that was traveled by waitstaff carrying food annd beverages and customers coming in and leaving . I ordered the vigile 3 course dinner for $53. I waited another hour for the first course which includes 1 teaspoon of snail salad, scoop of cod, salad, and five smelts. It was cold and unappetizing. Never received the second course it was presented with the third course at the same time. Food was cold, service was poor. I went there to celebrate Christmas Eve It was extremely disappointed and dissatisfied with the entire experience . On aside, used the bathroom facilities they were filthy, told staff that there was no soap in the bathroom and was told I don’t deal with that. There are fine restaurants in the providence area that provide quality and service that you can enjoy. This facility’s focus seems only to price gouge and poor service of tasteless food. stay away from Massimo

    A wonderful Christmas Eve dinner once again at Massimos!! A great gluten free menu and the food is outstanding. Our waitress Gabriella was so nice and attentive and made us feel so comfortable. The restaurant does a fantastic job and we look forward to our next visit.

    Overall very good . A few details .Blood orange Cosmo in the bar was sour. I think proportions were off. Bartender was very upbeat and pleasant. Overall meal was very good but one guest thought the Carbonara was fine but not the best. Barrata was excellent. Pizzetta was very good but too large for an appetizer. I would note that on the menu. One guest enjoyed the feast of the seven fishes. Veal tenderloin was a probably medium as requested. I should have ordered medium rare. Pork chop was very good . Our waitress Gabrielle was excellent , personable and just the right approach for a Christmas Eve celebration.
