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.

    If you visit Providence, you must eat at Massimo. The food, service, and restaurant decor are all amazing. Their lunch special is unbeatable, 3 course meal for $24. We got cesar salad (homemade dressing and croutons), gnocchi with sausage, risotto al mare, and tiramisu/pistachio cannoli. Very nice staff.

    We celebrated at 21st birthday with our family and it will be one of most memorable celebrations! Our waitress, Carvel, was the BEST. From the moment we entered restaurant the staff was so attentive and HAPPY to see us. Lately, I half expect mediocre service everywhere I go, but not here. Food was exceptional, bread was delicious and I assume homemade. Purple Rain drink was worth an hour drive from Boston! I can't wait to go back. If you have a special occasion to celebrate, this is the place for you. Also, valet is complimentary and large lot is across the street.
