“Dined here recently . First time eating here and to say we were happy is an understatement . Food was good but the service was second to none . Our waiter Jason was one of the best we’ve had anywhere. Vert knowledgeable and personable . Seemed to have a great feel and timing for the flow of the restaurant . Dessert we had the mocha cheesecake which was just alright . Will definitely be back“

“went in for the first time and definitely will be going a lot more the chicken tenders are huge and their salads are so good and quality and flavors ect is definitely worth the money first place I’ve been to that matches quality and amounts and prices exactly definitely will be trying again“
“I recently hosted my sister's baby shower at Maria's Cucina, and it was such an excellent experience! Chris, the owner, scheduled several phone calls with me to ensure we had everything planned to perfection prior to the day, which was especially appreciated as I was planning from out of state. Chris was always kind and professional on our calls, and had great menu recommendations - especially considering our group had unique dietary needs (vegetarian and gluten free). The day of the shower, the staff was also extremely kind, professional, warm, accommodating, and so helpful. The food was delicious (we had an antipast platter and salads to start; our entrees were gluten free carbonara, eggplant parm with pasta, and a chicken parm sandwich with french fries; dessert options were creme brulee (DELICIOUS), tiramisu, lemon cake, and cannolis) , and highly complimented by everyone in attendance. I would host an event here again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much to Chris, and all of the staff!“
“We popped in here for an app and drink prior to another reservation, and never wanted to leave! Michael at the bar was so wonderful -- he was kind, knowledgable, and had the perfect service timing. The restaurant seemed great, but Michael is what took it over the top. Thanks for your service, Mike!!!“
“We had Easter dinner and the food was fabulous. For appetizers my wife had the artichoke franchise and I had the shrimp franchise, both were out of this world. Entree’s included The Veal Saltimbucca, Baked Stuffed Shrimp, again both excellent along with two of the signature cocktails. You have to try the smoked old fashion, incredibly smooth and unique. I have eaten here a number of times and always find the experience rewarding. Will be back!“
“Hands down the best chicken parm ever; my go to!! I caved and tried the lasagna because it looked so good-- covered in a pink vodka bolognese sauce with chunks of meat. Yum!! My bf said the veal parm was the best he'd ever had. Even the bread and aioli was awesome. A sweet hostess and multiple servers meant we wanted for nothing throughout our amazing dining experience. We were surprised how good the prices were in this economy too. Can't wait to come back! Free valet, so if you're worried about parking, don't!“
“Amazing food and experience. Their menu is fluid and every option is unique - made it tough to pick given how appealing everything sounded. Wife and I enjoyed the Mac Daddy burger, Odeum chicken sandwich, and a King Street Steak Tip sandwich because it was too tempting. Our sever Nicole was amazing, and manager John was incredibly nice and accommodating. We can’t wait to come back here.“
“Came in during college visits with my son and we were so happy to have such an incredible meal start to finish!!! Great atmosphere with river views. Might be in my top 3 all-time meal experiences! We started with calamari, the bread and olive oil were perfect, my son had the Bolognese with just a perfect hint of fennel, and my ricotta cavatelli was superb, not too creamy and pasta was perfection… we finished our meal with the apple tart with crispy crust, and just the perfect amount of sweetness with the crèm anglaise! 1 million thanks for a perfect evening!!“
“What’s NOT to love about Anglelo’s? It’s a Federal Hill institution for a reason - great food and family atmosphere, warm and welcoming servers, and now with big beautiful windows overlooking Atwells Ave for that indoor-outdoor experience. And while it may be “old-school,” it continues to innovate - any restaurant that caters to gluten-free diners always goes to the tops of my list!“
“If you're not eating at Tomaselli's, where are you eating? The staff, food and bar chairs are where it is at! They have daily specials and great deals. There is something for everyone on the menu. If you want Italian, look no further then your own local favorites at Tomaselli's at Rosario! Great for a small dinner or a large function. Call and reserve a spot today!“
“Pleasant atmosphere, courteous workers tending to your taste and owner more than accommodating to their customers. It’s just more than pleasant it’s like eating with family and friends like your home. Exquisite prepped delicious meals. I enjoyed my every visit. It’s like the return to the classic days of yesteryear with a modern flair. Thank you Bacco Vino & Contorni it is truly a pleasure dining with you.“
“We were in town for the fishing show we wanted good Italian food and drove around federal hill we spotted your place and the Sicilian flag (I'm Sicilian) and said this must be a good place. the food was outstanding and so good we did the burrata which was amazing the chicken Francese was out of this worlds and my husbands baked stuffed Shrimp was also out of this world we ended the night with with a cannoli and tiramisu and both were fantastic. This will be our new go to spot when we are up in Rhode Island“
“I’m giving Piemontes 5 stars because their pizza is fantastic. BUT….Piemonte’s…. Cmon… I ordered a gluten free pizza (margarita) and you put this HORRIBLE looking basil in my box, you didn’t even put it in my pizza, which also came cold as ice. Do better next time with Gluten free pizza.“
“My family and I had dinner here and it was just as close as you’re going to get to dining in Italy. The food is imported from Italy and they have an amazing wine menu, all coming from small vineyards in Italy. There’s no other authentic Italian wine bar on federal hill, and it’s perfect for wine tasting and trying all their amazing Italian small plates. They also have a market next door where you can buy the wines and food you ate! Luigi the manager was also excellent and gave great menu recommendations. Will definitely be back it’s truly an underrated spot on the hill.“
“Very solid spot for dinner if you're in the area. Not mind blowing but good! Had the Greek style salad that was good but a bit overdressed and a bit heavy on vinegar for my taste. Pasta was cooked well (had the bolognese). Portions quite sizeable! Easy to make a reservation and service was prompt and the right level of attentiveness.“

“First time as was in town from Newport to see Little Jagged Pill at PPAC. Bartender (Tim?) was excellent friendly, knowledgeable on menu and made great handcrafted drinks. Manager (she moved here from NYC) was also excellent. I ordered the pork loin special, one of my friends ordered to porchetta over grits (I was a bit jealous as it was amazing. Overall a great experience.“
“Best Italian restaurant in New England! Sal is a great chef, with many traditional Italian dishes I was brought up on. Having been born on Federal Hill , I love the old world feeling dining at the OC! Waiter, bus boy, etc. plus the Who’s Who clientele that eats there, is a must go to place when visitors come to RI! You won’t be disappointed! Don’t rush! The your time and enjoy the experience!“
“I ordered a personal stuffed pizza with artichoke, eggplant, mushroom and spinach to go. They didn't skimp on filling and I really enjoyed the flavor of the sauce on top. For me it needed more sauce and maybe ricotta inside to make it creamier but overall It was a great pizza and I'd get it again.“
“Service was excellent, Food was tasty and prepared well,Drink were strong and added the right touch to the entree Ambiance was the Best! Romantic, nice lighting. Easy to to use Valet & Would definitely recommend for a special evening or just a cocktail at there cool Bar“
“Quaint little authentic Italian grocer and deli, serving up delicious affordable sandwiches, panini, wraps, pizzas, and variety of other hot foods. Amongst the other fancier busier options blocks away on federal hill, this might be smaller but you certainly will not be disappointed by either the food or service! There is also ample seating in the dining area to enjoy the yum yums on site! Pastry counter offers a solid selection of treats, which will pair wonderfully with the perfect espresso! Cold cuts were sliced perfectly thin and expertly packaged with precision, prepare to wait a bit if there is a line, but 100% worth it!“
“The food was very good and the restaurant was very nice. The service was excellent. Will surely go back again.Vegetarian options: There are options for vegetarians.Kid-friendliness: Kids are welcome.Wheelchair accessibility: There is room for a wheelchair to get in.“
“I come Ladder 133 all the time and it's always great! Food and drink are all spectacular and the kitchen is open late. The staff is the friendliest I've encountered in a long time. Great daily specials. The Carolina BBQ wings are on point! Come by for wings and a burger. You won't regret it!“
“I came back a week later and still had an amazing experience. The shrimp and scallop bruschetta was the best thing I've had in such a long time! The bread was so crispy yet it was covered in the cream sauce. I'm not sure how they figured out how to not make it a soggy dish, but wow! That was amazing. There were only about two shrimp and two pieces of scallops, but it was well worth it! The swordfish and lobster risotto was also very tasty. Just like with the penne, I wish the lobster serving was way larger. Besides, that was an awesome dish! It feels like I found my new restaurant that I bring all my out of town folks to, to truly get the Rhode Island foodie experience.“
