Had ?? dinner at Trattoria Appia for our last night in Providence, Rhode Island before we headed back to Virginia Beach, Va. I got the SPAGHETTINI CON POLPETTE: Our famous meatballs, house marinara, hand-dipped ricotta and I subbed for their in house fresh made pasta and added grilled chicken and My wife got the LASAGNA DI CARNE: Traditional wood oven baked Neapolitan meat lasagna, house marinara, mozzarella.Dinner & Dessert was Tiramisu absolutely ?!!! My wife had made reservations and when we walked in we were greeted with a smile and seated us immediately. They replace table cloths before new guests arrive every time. Little details like this make us impressed for its cleanliness ?!!!

The food makes your eyes rolls back! The atmosphere is elegant, but not fussy. Since, the food is good they are busy so service was a bit slower. Nevertheless, the service was there and consistent. I recommend the lasagna and meatballs. Go not in a hurry with good company and enjoy an evening of great food!

I was served by the poetic savant Raymond the bartender who while busy training a young Bar back handled my order courteously I had gotten the diavolo and while I’ve been to other Italian places in RI I’ve never ordered seconds but this place broke that record the second I finished my plate the pasta was perfectly al dente and the sea food was nothing short of divine in flavor the spice level was just enough to clear my sinus but not enough to send me reeling for my drinkDietary restrictions: They have some lovely gluten free option for any person worried about their diet/ allergy

I hope you didn't order the Easter salmon, if you did call the RIDOH!This place was good once upon a time but after today this epic kitchen fail unlike anything we've ever experienced is the final blow. They literally ruined Easter Sunday lunch for my 85 year old mom who hasn't been well. The waiter was excellent, but the food and kitchen communication was a nightmare.My 1" slice of $27 salmon was so old fish smelly as soon as I peeled the skin off, like fish that has been in the trash for days, like something that should have been tossed from the walk-in last week. It reeked!The waiter scrambled to find me something else on the not GF marked menu that would be gluten free that by the time it showed up my mom was done with her dinner. What arrived via busser was not marked GF so I had to ask if it was safe, by the time he came back the waiter already took it away because it wasn't. That was 2 entrees that had to head to the trash because nobody in the kitchen communicated, one that should never have been served at all. The tables around us were horrified and asked us what was happening it was hard to hide that this was really bad. One family were talking about leaving, hopefully they did.We were comped whatever that was we did eat (me a caprese with one basil leaf and hot house tomatoes) and paid for the wine.I should add that my mom could not stop CRYING when we left over how bad that was, so bad that I took her to Pane e Vino for dessert which is where we should have gone in the first place. They heard all about it!I tried to make a joke about this ridiculous waste of a day but it really upset her. This was literally one of the worst Providence restaurant experiences we've ever had, we can't stop going over how weird and horrible that was.Will never come back.NOT Celiac Safe!Dietary restrictions: NOT GF friendly, menu isn't clearly marked for allergies, food arrives without any indication of safety. ServSafe certification should be re-addressed here.

Dinner wasn’t very good at all. Like 2/10. Plus they have typos on the menu so we were very confused when our food came out. Kitchen also put balsamic on tomato sauce. My nonna would keel over if she ever saw that.Service was fine. Music was loud. Menus are WICKED dirty. I wanted this place to be good, it just fell short.

Food was ok, Caprese was weak. Like they opened a pack of mozzarella, threw a basil leaf on top and sliced a tomato. Saltimbocca was decent but weird with onions. Potatoes could have been cooked more.Chicken Parm was solid, cavatappi was good. Service was spotty. Best server was the busboy, he picked up where the food runner dropped the ball. Place was loud, not even full, tough to hear the beautiful lady I was with.

I come here at least every other week and always dine at the bar. The food is great. Best lasagna on the Hill (but ask for it crispy!) Their pizzas are all great but the Farfalla is truly unique (bow-tied shape.) I also enjoy the simple spaghetti tossed in fresh garlic and olive oil for a light dinner. The bartenders are always great! Ray is super sweet and Brittany is just the best. She remembers my drink order every time and makes the best martinis. I always hear people complimenting her espresso martinis and the drink specials even though I stick to a classic gin one and haven’t tried them myself. She’s a great conversationalist and always makes me feel welcome!

This was a last minute reservation. I'd never been to Trattoria Appia before, but I will say my party of five had a wonderful dining experience there. The service was fantastic! Food was absolutely delicious and the restaurant was very roomy. We will definitely be back soon.

Lovely and lively ambiance. Food is excellent with great attention to detail - the fresh pasta, simple red sauce, bolognese, and add-on sautéed chicken were perfectly prepared. Gabriella was our server. Her suggestions for food and wine were thoughtful and appropriate. The wait staff appeared young and highly attentive. We actually went for the curated jazz which was a little too loud and not really jazz, but it was nice to have music. We couldn't find the valet but there appeared to be a valet later in the evening.

One of our favorite restaurants. Now that's among some of the best in the country. The staff are excellent, valet is essential on the Hill, the food exquisite. By the way, my wife and I like the vegan wine!
