Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Pawtucket

We have a family tradition of eating on “the Hill” on the Sunday before Thanksgiving and this year we chose Massimo. It did not disappoint. The hostess and the servers were excellent and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Not only were the meals delicious, our drinks and deserts were excellent as well! We got to sit upstairs looking out at the city and it added to the experience. I would certainly go back and recommend this restaurant to family and friends.

Great food choices. The server was very knowledgeable about the menu and was extremely accommodating to serving someone with celiac.

Pane e Vino is always exceptional. The food is superbly done and they are very conscientious of food allergies. Excellent wine selection and cocktails. Our server (I believe her name was Kathryn) was very friendly and attentive. I will continue to dine here frequently, as I am never disappointed.

The food is always great, but perhaps the best thing about the restaurant is the service. Top-notch from door to table, and back again! Our server was outstanding! He not only offered good suggestions about the menu (the Peanut Butter Bomb is excellent!), he was friendly and checked in throughout the evening to make sure our needs were met!

Terra is an absolute masterpiece of a restaurant! The Italian food here is nothing short of spectacular—every dish is crafted to perfection, and the flavors are unforgettable. The wine selection is equally impressive, with thoughtful pairings that elevate the dining experience to a whole new level. A special shoutout to our server, Vinicius, who made the evening truly extraordinary. His knowledge of the menu, attention to detail, and warm, professional demeanor added so much to our experience. He went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect, and we left feeling absolutely spoiled. If you’re looking for exceptional Italian cuisine, an incredible wine list, and top-tier service, Terra is the place to be. Highly recommend!
