The restaurant is located in a super busy area with minimal parking. I would recommend getting and uber, taxi or some type of ride share service- or finding a garage near by and walking (Not sure if there are any not from the area). The restaurant does have free valet parking which is super nice. The food was very good, I got a gnocchi dish while my friend got chicken parm. We both thought the dishes were good. The wine was delicious, we asked for a recommendation in which our waiter recommend HEBO. It was in between dry and sweet, and very aromatic. I can't speak too much further on the restaurant as we had to leave early. But it was a pleasant experience, and I would definitely go back! The server was very attentive (in a good way), we didn't need to look for himc and he always came at the right time, Which is nice.

One of the best meals I've had in Providence! I had the steak special, which was paired with an amazing, creamy risotto. Others at the table had the short rib gnocchi and fusilli with burrata - both of which had really well cooked pasta and delicious sauces. The service was also spot on. Water glasses were never empty, we were offered our next round of drinks promptly when the prior round was empty, we never waited to order anything, and our server was very nice but not overbearing at all. Only thing I would change is that it was quite warm inside. We sat upstairs directly under one of the vents and we were all way too warm. That may have been an individual table experience though based on being under the vent.

*Chef's kiss * such a gem in federal hill. Sooooo many delicious GF options I was amazed. They also had GF bread rolls for the table our server was incredible, so nice and great recs. One of my fav restaurants if New England I think I also loved the ambiance downstairs. It was a nice old timey restaurant vibe w exposed brick and cool vintage photos. Upstairs is a little more formal with clothed tables. They also have an exceptional wine list. Looking forward to next time!!

Great place. In town for just one night - planned with the Yelp app and worked out great (again). Ate early with Phoebe as our server. Great service. Had some apps as well as the short rib sauce over a different pasta than the gnocchi which worked out great. Easy to talk until about 6:45 when the place filled up and got noisier.

The food is always solid. Hot, fresh, delicious. Portions are plenty. The staff is excellent. My favorite dish is the chicken. My friends had the sea scallops and pork chop which they said was also amazing! Will definitely be coming back.

I think I've said enough about Massimo's food already (it's amazing) so this update is solely about the after dinner drinks that we ordered the other night. We had already enjoyed dinner (gluten-free carbonara for me & lasagna for my partner) but we both were still craving a sweet treat. We decided on two tiramisu espresso martinis. Our server, Hailey, had been quick, attentive, & friendly all night & she assured us that the martinis could be made with decaf espresso. Once we had ordered, she was back in a flash with the drinks. We agreed that the dark, opaque coup glasses really added to the presentation. Then we tasted the drinks. I knew immediately that this was the best espresso martini I've ever had. My partner agreed. Phenomenal! Frothy, sweet but not too sweet, the perfect after dinner treat. My only qualm is that they were a bit small for $15. I wish they had been at least filled to the brim of the coup glass. Regardless, killer drink. Amazing recipe. Props to the bartenders & props to Hailey.
