Top 5 Italian in Providence
The Federal Hill picks plus Al Forno's waterfront institution — drawn from Rhode Island Monthly's ultimate Federal Hill guide and its Al Forno dining review.
- #1
Al Forno Restaurant
Fox Point
“Rhode Island Monthly's review of the 43-year-old waterfront institution — RISD-trained founders Johanne Killeen and George Germon pioneered grilled pizza and the critic writes 'no one does it as well now.'”
- #2
Camille's
Federal Hill
“RI Monthly's Federal Hill guide calls the century-old Bradford Street mansion 'like a celebrity that never ages' — elegant dining room, housemade spumoni, live music.”
- #3
Pane e Vino
Federal Hill
“RI Monthly frames it as 'elegant yet accessible' — owner Joe DeQuattro cooking mother's and grandmother's recipes on Atwells for seventeen-plus years.”
- #4
Massimo Ristorante
Federal Hill
“The Federal Hill guide's pick for modern upscale Italian — regional cuisine and a boutique wine list at accessible lunch pricing.”
- #5
Andino's Italian Restaurant
Federal Hill
“RI Monthly's casual Federal Hill fixture since 1988 — Rat Pack nostalgia, lively bar, packed dining room, and a hand-painted mural memorializing the neighborhood.”
