The 19 Best Restaurants In Providence 2024

"Federal Hill is where you’ll find most of Providence’s red sauce Italian spots, but if you’re looking for something a little lighter, head to Bonnano Vinicola. Expect spritzes, Sicilian wines (some from women-owned producers), and regional specialties like mozzarella di bufala and smoky cured bonito tuna. You’ll probably be served by Max or Luigi, who will encourage you to try their experimental limoncellos and push tiny cups of espresso onto your table. Definitely order dessert: it’s sourced from Scialo’s, the 100-plus-year-old Italian bakery across the street. They do a Sicilian cannoli that makes us weep tears of joy with each slightly sweet, orange-pistachio-tinted ricotta-filled bite." - grace kelly
