About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
From Joseph + Esther DeQuattro of Pane Vino comes the much anticipated Massimo. Massimo brings the quintessential Italian trattoria to Providence’s Federal Hill Neighborhood. Offering a contemporary Italian menu inspired by the regional cuisines of Italy. Signature dishes include the Spaghettini alla Carbonara; Fig & Gorganzola Pizza; and House-Cured Duck Confit “Anatra”.

Massimo is classically designed to create a warm and lively setting. Massimo’s spacious dining room and glass-enclosed private dining room—including a full bar & lounge—make it the perfect place for occasions of all scopes and sizes, whether it’s a quiet night out with friends and family, or a boisterous celebration with dozens of guests.

Massimo has unique Italian wines from small boutique Italian winemakers (available nowhere else!) and a cellar selection from Italy, Spain and California. Our approach to wine is accessibility, quality and variety to encourage unfettered enjoyment.

    Had a lovely dinner here! Our server was attentive and dinner was delicious. The support staff and host were on top of things as well. Ordered the holiday special (pesto pasta with pancetta) and will definitely be back!

    We were seated in a back corner at a table for 6 with a reservation for 7 people with one person having to sit without room at the end - most of the food was good but some came barely warm

    We go to Massimo’s on a regular basis for lunch and often order their HeY Presto menu. Today we had lunch there to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Honestly this restaurant never sets a foot wrong. I had indicated that I have a gluten free preference on our reservation, and that the occasion was our wedding anniversary. On arrival our waitress, Bernadette, immediately told me that my gluten free bread was already baking in the oven. Massimo’s has an amazing choice of gf dishes. I chose Chicken Piccata this time and my husband has the same every time - Spaghetti Carbonara which he adores. Coupled with a Double Old Fashioned which is perfect every time. Both were excellent and portion sizes perfect for lunch. Dessert was Tiramisu and the kitchen had piped a ‘Happy Anniversary’ on our plates. Such a nice touch and so welcome! Service was attentive and friendly as always. Noise levels are such you can actually have a conversation. Thank you to the staff for making our day a perfect one. We will be back!

    The food quality is spot on and the price/value ratio is spot on! We had the best server named Phoebe! Great place for also enjoying delicious apps and a drink if you are short on time and have to be somewhere else that evening. My only negative comment was the attitude and service by the bartender. I had a dinner party of 6 and 3 of us arrived about 15 minutes early so we decided to go to the bar for a drink. The bartender was so unpleasant and unwelcoming. We were not able to get a drink during that 15 minute time frame....
