The hard part about dining in Providence is choosing among its many superb restaurants. If you're in the mood for Italian, take a stroll through Federal Hill on Atwells Avenue; Downtown is home to excellent fine-dining establishments; and the East Side has great neighborhood and upscale-casual restaurants, as well as an assortment of spots with a hip ambience and an international menu.
This place generates well-deserved buzz for its branzino (sea bass) with scallops in a creamy scallion sauce and for its pasta with a rich Bolognese—both of which are legendary. It's best to split an appetizer, as portions are huge, though you may wish to keep the delicious involtini di melanzane (eggplant rolled with prosciutto and ricotta and baked in tangy marinara sauce) all to yourself. The silky-white pasta e fagioli under the menu's antipasti section is a meal in itself. The excellent wine list is usually augmented by special selections available by the bottle or glass, and the well-trained waitstaff can help you make the perfect pairing. Ask for a table by the large windows, as the stylish back dining room can get noisy.
