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.

    Great place for a special dinner like a birthday. Food and service was great especially the pork chop. Quite loud but so many people were having fun. Definitely a place to return to!

    Our family had a wonderful experience at Massimo’s beginning with our server Carvelle. She was friendly, professional, gave us fabulous suggestions and answered all our questions concerning your incredible menu. The table support staff was attentive but never intrusive. From our appetizers and drinks, through our meals, ending with dessert; every course was fully enjoyed. We started with the house meatballs served with whipped ricotta and the Pizzetti with fig and Gorgonzola which was also dressed with prosciutto and caramelized onions. Fantastic. Our entrees included the fettuccine alla bolognese, shrimp with mascarpone risotto, sea scallops and Brussel sprouts with butternut squash risotto and the evening special which was wild boar bolognese. Each entree was delicious in taste and beautiful to look at. We were so full and satisfied but really were admiring the desserts offerings. Carvelle convinced us to try and share the house made raisin bread pudding with the sea salt caramel gelato. It was the perfect ending to our dining experience. Thank you for making our family event so special.

    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!
