Scenes From Camille's in Providence, a Chianti-Soaked Italian Restaurant | Bon Appétit

"Housed since 1914 in a former mansion on Federal Hill in Providence, this venerable restaurant is one of the city's oldest and most iconic institutions, known for a permanent menu that features gnocchi alla vodka and veal Parmesan. The dining room—windowless and decorated with mirrors and bright glass sculptures—pairs a long dark-wood bar (topped by a showy bust) and white leather booths with a lively lounge where an eight-piece band and dancing keep Friday nights bustling. Regulars and rites of passage abound: longtime guests come for birthdays, communions, anniversaries and weekly rituals, staffers like George Kilborn Jr. and maître d' John Conti preside over a familial front-of-house, and Cynthia Henley recalls breaking barriers as a longtime coat-check attendant. The kitchen and bar service lean classic and comforting (zuppa di cozze, shrimp cocktail, veal Parm and other traditional plates), and the place carries a patina of glamour and rumor—celebrity sightings, whispered mob connections and memories of private booths where deals were made—while having gradually relaxed its formerly formal dress code. Overall it reads as a neighborhood landmark that blends theatricality, nostalgia, steady service, and strong community ties." - ByMolly Birnbaum

Wonderful atmosphere, felt like family immediately upon arriving with an upbeat and friendly host. All staff were great, knowledge of the menu was extensive with amazing with their suggestions. I was debating between several entrees and left the decision up to the server who chose wonderfully. Everything from the Eggplant starter to authentic Tiramisu and Thick Pistachio Cheesecake was well balanced, full of flavor and presented beautifully.

This place has a real mob boss vibe with food that’s worth the HIT. I would recommend this place if you’re trying to have the best Italian food. Service and ambience is top notch. Every thing I ate was a 10/10. I can’t wait to come back.

My husband and I went here for our anniversary dinner. He thought I booked the reservation and I thought he had booked it 😅 so they had no tables available but luckily they promptly were able to sit us at the bar. The food was absolutely phenomenal. Some of the best we’ve ever had and we’ve been to Italy 3 times. I got the lasagna and my husband got the short rib ravioli. We also shared a caeser salad and arancini for an app. While everything was amazing, the real star was the ravioli. We also appreciated them seating us despite our lack of reservation (luckily we arrived just as people were leaving) and we will definitely be returning! We loved it so much that we have recommended Camille’s to our family and friends. Can’t wait to return!

Amazing service and food. One of the best Bolognese pasta. The host accommodated us even on a short notice. Very memorable experience.

Old school Italian, in rustic mafia hang out on Federal Hill. Very cool glasswork inside. Wonderful welcome to Rhode Island. Classic braciole shown in photo with piped riccotta was heaven.

I came into town and was recommend to have dinner at Camille's. After dinner and dessert, it will be difficult to go out again at other restaurants. It was so good I had to close my eyes multiple times and just enjoy it.

My boyfriend, our 9-year-old son, and I dined at Camille’s on Friday evening to celebrate my birthday, and it was truly an incredible experience from start to finish. The food was outstanding. I had the Ravioloni con Brasato which was cooked to absolute perfection. Every bite of our appetizer and entrees was delicious, but what elevated the entire evening was the impeccable service. From the moment we stepped out of our vehicle, the staff made our son feel like a VIP. The valet greeted him with a warm compliment on his suit and tie, and the manager, who led us to our table, did the same. It’s clear that Camille’s staff go above and beyond to make every guest feel special, regardless of age. Our server, Scott, was exceptional - one of the best waiters we’ve had at any restaurant. He treated our son as the man of the table. Scott's thoughtful touches, like serving our son a flute of ginger ale to join in our champagne toast, made him feel included and important in this elegant atmosphere. He also recommended the perfect meals and wine pairings, and the pace of the meal was flawless. Our glasses were never empty, plates were promptly cleared, and the table remained spotless throughout our dinner. To top it all off, Scott surprised us with a beautiful birthday dessert. Scott’s professionalism, attention to detail, and warm demeanor truly set Camille’s apart. He is a remarkable asset to their team, and we are so grateful for the wonderful experience he provided for this special occasion. We left Camille’s not only satisfied by the incredible food but also uplifted by the thoughtful, personalized service. Thank you to Scott and everyone at Camille’s for making this a birthday celebration we’ll never forget.

I went here in December for my anniversary dinner and it was amazing; the restaurant was beautifully decorated for the holidays, which added to the romantic ambiance. For drinks, we enjoyed glasses of Sauvignon Blanc off of their extensive wine list. For dinner, the Zuppa de Pesce and the Capesante alla Giovanni were both delicious; the servings were very large which allowed for leftovers as well. Lastly, we had chocolate raspberry cake for dessert, and our waiter kindly sneaked in an extra slice for the special occasion. Overall, service was excellent and I would definitely come again.

Food: Camille's boasts an extensive menu, with each dish crafted from thoughtful, authentic Italian recipes that evoke a comforting, home-cooked feel. The calamari was perfectly crispy, while the eggplant appetizer was so delightful that we polished it off completely. The squash blossoms also impressed us. However, the beef carpaccio could use a bit more beef, as it felt slightly overwhelmed by the arugula. The seafood dishes stood out for their freshness and lightness, while the ossobuco was a rich, flavorful delight that we thoroughly enjoyed! For dessert, we indulged in the banana foster crepes, which struck a lovely balance between being light and decadent. Service: The service was excellent; our waiter was respectful and attentive. While the pace was a bit slow, it was understandable given the restaurant's full capacity. Ambiance: One of the highlights of our evening was the warm and cozy atmosphere of the restaurant, enhanced by beautiful glass sculptures that added a touch of elegance.

My wife and I visited Camille's last week, I had high expectations after studying their menu in advance. Even though our visit was for lunch we ordered an appetizer, an off-menu dinner item, and a lunch special. The service was excellent throughout the entire meal from start to finish, I don't recall the gentleman's name, but he was an excellent waiter, The decor inside the restaurant was rather upscale and somewhat dimly lit by design. As to the food, the off menu item was a veal chop parm, bone-in with a vodka sauce. The lunch special was a lobster casserole, and the appetizer was their version of fried calamari. I wanted to love the veal chop, it looked great on presentation and I will include a photo, My issue with was it was pounded thin, with a thick coating around it rendering it, tough and the meat itself was really not juicy, considering all the sauce on it, it came across as kind of dry and the sauce wasn't helping the experience, it was adding another bland taste to it. The best part was the melted cheese. The chop wasn't bad, but I just wasn't thrilled by the flavor, or texture for the cost. It came with some pasta with the same sauce and I left most of that. The lobster casserole looked and tasted good. My issue with it was, it was not much seafood for the money. One large scallop, one half a small lobster tail, one small lobster claw and a small amount of crab meat. Most of the shellfish was out of shell. I think there might have been a shrimp or two also, but overall for the cost, it seemed skimpy being in New England. But from a taste perspective, it was good. Lastly, the appetizer was pretty good, the calamari was tender and they hit it with lemon at the table. The lobster casserole and the calamari were the best items. Overall the experience was okay, it's a nice place with good service.

Last night we went to Camille's with friends and we had a really good dining experience. The restaurant is an upscale (dressy casual) Italian tradition on the Hill in Providence. Our waiter was very polite and he helped us with separate checks. Everyone enjoyed their dishes, which were of good size, the lasagna dish was probably at least 2 lbs while the Bolognese came in a huge bowl full of pasta and delicious sauce. Several boxes were needed to take food home at the end of dinner..... I got the grilled salmon and it was prepared very well over risotto. My husband got the Pollo a la Francese and he loved his meal. The only disappointment was that I was interested in one of the specials (which when the waiter recites them, he does not tell you the price of them...I had to specifically ask for the price of the Sea Bass)...initially he said the Bass was served over a risotto...so when it was time to order, I asked him to describe the Bass special again and now he said, it's over mashed potatoes...I said...I don't want mashed potatoes, so instead of saying that he could ask to change the bed of starch, he did not. That inflexibility was not great.... Overall the meal was filling and delicious.

I was so excited to visit this restaurant, I finally got to go for my birthday last year, My daughters surprised me with a reservation. I have to say the food was not as I expected. we love seafood and well both my daughters ordered seafood dishes and one plate had to be returned and other seafood pasta was very bland. The manager gave an attitude he was rude I was very disappointed. On the other hand The lasagna I order was delicious very tasty very saucy it was really good but the rudeness and attitude of the manager left a bad taste in my mouth. I will not recommend this restaurant. The ambience was very nice the place is classic and beautiful but the service was horrible.

My wife and I came here for date night. Definitely old school Italian. We were seated promptly and the service was pleasant. We ordered a few apps, arincini balls, and fried cheese. They both came out Luke warm and not hot. Disappointing. My wife ordered the meon chicken. It was delicious. I ordered the veal rib chop and was able to get the coconut lime risotto which was on the specials menu. The veal was a bit dry and overcooked, but the risotto was fantastic! Overall a good experience, nothing mind-blowing which is what I was hoping for.

Starting with the valet, he was attentive and super friendly and speedy. The atmosphere of the restaurant was perfect. Our waiter was friendly and very funny! Not only did we enjoy our meal and drinks, but the service was outstanding. Hands down the best Crème Brûlée we've ever had. Drinks were great. The bread was okay, kind of dry, but we aren't big bread people. Started with the wedge salad and the waiter split it for us due to big portion sizes and it was the perfect amount, and incredible. Highly recommend. We both ordered the one of the specials and they were delicious. Portions were huge, so we took a lot home. They didn't tell us the price of the specials and we didn't ask, but that didn't bother us considering how much food we got. Can't wait to return! Such a great experience.

Perfect restaurant for any special occasion. We started with the baccala and I was pleasantly surprised how good it was. They do a good job of balancing the cold cod with lettuce, onions, olives, and a light dressing. I was expecting the cod to be heavily salted, but it wasn't. I ordered the bone in veal parm ($50) and it came with a side of pasta. It was huge and was cooked perfectly. I had to take home half of it because it was so filling. The sauce was very good and the cheese was top notch. The service here is amazing. The waiter was super knowledgeable and my water glass was never empty. They have a great selection of wine by the glass and the waiter was able to pair our meals perfectly. Camille's has been a staple on Federal Hill and it still lives up to its reputation. Very classy setting.

A true Rhode Island staple. This is absolutely amazing & authentic Italian food. It's truly a tartare of Italy. I grew up in Rhode Island & this was the place to go & still is. It's a must stop for every visit back to RI. The service was great & friendly. The ambiance & atmosphere was romantic & peaceful to enjoy the experience & evening.

We visited Camille's for dinner recently and were very impressed with both the food and the atmosphere. The ambiance is both inviting and elegant, with blown glass light fixtures and a chic, upper-crust feel. Everything we ordered that evening was delicious!  The octopus appetizer we shared was nicely plated and very tasty; our entrees (Chicken Saltimbuca and meatball with ricotta) where so exquisite that we almost polished the plates clean ;-) Service was first-tier as well; our waiter was very personable and knowledgeable about their menu - I highly recommend Camille's to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience!

I travel a lot and have visited Little Italy sections in various states, I found Providence RI to be the most friendly. I noticed it more when I went to Camille's. Camille's has been a Rhode Island dining staple since 1914. It's a rite of passage while in Rhode Island and it's my first time here so I'm excited to dine at Camille's. I valet my car and walk up the steps, I made a reservation early for one. The dining room was empty but the time I left it was packed out. My waiter brought to me some warm bread and a glass of premium Italian wine. Nice pour, very impressed so far. As an old school Italian myself, I knew what my first dish at Camille's will be, the Veal Vitello Alla Parmigiano. They pound the veal nice and thin and bake it with sauce and parmigiana cheese. It's what I ordered as a kid and still order to this day. Sure you can get chicken cutlet parm, it's my favorite. As a kid and when I stepped up the the Veal Parm? I was wearing my good shoes for sure! As with any great Italian restaurant, they offer a side of spaghetti. I also must point out that I can't eat like this anymore, it's so much food! And I no longer have a Nonna standing over me saying, what? You no like? I do what I want! Haha The Veal Vitello Alla Parmigiano from Camille's is pure perfection. It's a thinly pounded slice but not over cooked. It's juicy, flavorful and man does it flood my mind with so many good memories. Well done everyone, bravo. Camille's, I thank you for the dining experience and the trip down memory lane.

We went to Camille's for our 25th wedding anniversary. It's always a special treat to go to Camille's. The ambiance is quiet and you can enjoy a conversation without having to talk over loud music or the table next to you. George, the GM, is always friendly and right at the door to greet you. Our waiter was top notch - professional, knowledgeable and friendly. The food needs no review - always delicious! Fried Zucchini flowers were so yummy and a great way to start our evening. Our pasta dish and chicken Marsala were delicious. To top off the night, we were treated to a lovely dessert, compliments of Camille's. That is the kind of touch that keeps us coming back. Kudos to George and his staff!

From top to tip this is THE place on the hill to go. Wine list is incredible. Burrata was excellent. Bread was fresh and delicious. Pasta was delicious. Shrimp cooked perfectly. Meatballs are HUGE. Dessert and cappuccino was the icing on the cake. I have never had a better cannoli. Service is a 5 star affair!!! No rush, well informed, timed our meal perfectly. This is a gorgeous place inside with its soft lighting and glass features it makes for a beautiful date night. a+++++++++

Went on a Wednesday night so not too busy, walked in and sat at the bar. They provide you with complimentary bread as many of the Italian spots do in this area. I got the cumber martini (def Strong but I guess I can't complain since some drinks usually aren't) I got the chicken which usually comes with mashed potatoes and veggies as a side. I substituted the mash for a side salad (+$4). It came out fast and was good. They must pre make the sauce in advance and it comes with 2 thin chicken cutlets. It's a nicer Italian restaurant and more than just casual.

A very pleasant experience! We called ahead knowing that they were fully booked and asked about sitting at the bar. The Maitre d, John Conti, let us know there was room for us to have dinner at the bar. When we arrived, John had placed two "reserved" signs at the bar for us, which was very nice. We enjoyed the atmosphere and the food was great. We will come back again.

We went to Camille's for our office Christmas lunch as we had done in the past over the years. Our boss was met with a verbal assault by a valet and that set the tone. Mind you, the valet is a 60+ man, and knows better. Our boss stayed for all of a half hour and had to leave. I had a conversation with the manager and made him aware of the situation to which he responded, with attitude, that he would comp his meal and the valet had apologized to him (meaning the manager, not the man he verbally assaulted). As for the atmosphere...what a nightmare. There was a private party that had taken over various parts of the restaurant. They were obnoxious and rude...this all before 1:00 p.m. The food was not what it used to be. The food does not taste any better the Olive Garden. The bar was limited with liquor options...not the bartender's fault. The manager was dismissive and just wanted us out of there. In the end our appetizers were comped and the valet stopped my boss in the lot to apologize but the damaged had been done. Going forward we will NEVER step foot in this restaurant again. There are so many other options available on the Hill, Andinos being one of them!

I had a great time at Camille's recently! I was visiting my best friend for the weekend a few weeks ago and went to dinner there with her and her parents. When we arrived, the valet parked the car, which was nice considering it was extremely cold out. My friend's parents are regulars at Camille's, so the staff knows them there. They always get the same waiter and they know them by name. That was pretty impressive to me considering it's clear they get a lot of customers! When you walk through the front door, there's a lobby-like room and the actual restaurant is set further back through another door. When it's so cold out like it is now, it's awesome that the cold air doesn't come directly into the dining area every time someone walks in or out of the restaurant. When we walked back into the actual restaurant, the host at the front immediately greeted us and offered to take our coats. They put our jackets in the coat room, which we retrieved on our way out. They ordered red wine and I got a martini, which was very good. The waiter recommended it to me as it's a popular drink. We got a couple appetizers of arancini for the table. I was skeptical to try one as I had never had one before, but it was surprisingly really good! For dinner, since it was restaurant week, I chose the price fixed meal option that came with an appetizer, entree, and dessert. I got a Caesar salad for my appetizer, which came with an anchovy across the top. I was a little surprised about that and it kind of grossed me out because I do not like anchovies, but once I took it off, the salad tasted really good. If you don't like anchovies, take note of this and don't forget to tell them not to put an anchovy on top of your salad. For my entree, I got chicken Parmesan. It was cooked in the sauce and served over pasta. I really enjoyed the dish and the fact that it wasn't too big of a portion. My friend got gnocchi bolognese which was SO good. For dessert, we ordered tiramisu and chocolate mousse cake. We all shared the desserts, and they were both really good. The two desserts were more than enough for the four of us. They liked the cake better without the raspberry sauce, which I understand as it was a little sour and the cake was really good on its own. Overall, I had a really nice experience at Camille's and would definitely return if I find myself in the area in the future.

Great all the way around. Ease of reservation, delicious food. Only complaint was I was ordering a special and I asked the price and he never came back with it. I ordered it but it ended up being $85.00. My fault I should have insisted.

Have tried every Italian restaurant on the Hill, and some reason never got to Camille's. Service was fantastic. We sat outside and it was very comfortable. Reasonably priced. Amazing cocktails and THE BEST gnocchi on the hill!!

We ate here for a dinner during a conference. Did not disappoint and exceeded our expectations! Wonderful experience. The waiter was very knowledgeable and even shared the "secret menu" options that we took advantage of. The food was absolutely wonderful. I had the lamb, colleagues had the bone in veal with pink sauce. The lamb was perfectly prepared-tender, crusted with pistachios, set on wonderfully paired sides and a deep red glaze. If you are looking for elegant, elevated, special Italian cuisine, this is it.

Kerry A.

Yelp
The food was some of the best I've had. Specifically the burrata was so fresh and the steak was cooked perfectly, it cut like butter. My boyfriend and I agree that we would go back just for the tiramisu. That being said the service was super slow, we were here for over 2 hours. Our waiter was taking care of a party so we understood and it was a very busy Saturday night. A great spot for a special occasion.

Camille's was phenomenal. By far the best ambiance I've seen in a restaurant since moving to providence and the food was delicious! I ordered gnocci a la vodka and WOW was it amazing. The texture of the gnocci was so fluffy and dense, the flavors of the vodka sauce were on point, and the coziness of our table next to a stunning fireplace was everything. Service was also great. Can't wait to go back!

To start--this is the first yelp review I've written in 4 yrs apparently which should serves as a testament to how strongly I feel about my experience here.... We went on New Year's Eve and was very excited as the 'casual elegance' dress code which gave us all a reason to get fancy for the night. I was impressed by the stately yet contemporary decor. Service was very friendly and prompt. My Espresso martini was great but the bread was dry...usually a harbinger for things yet to come but I ignored that and eagerly dove into our apps. Ordered the special (squash flower) which tasted purely of batter but the Calamari was yummy so I still held out hope. Seafood tower came with lobster in the shell, raw oysters and clam, and shrimp cocktail. The lobster was tough and very chewy. Shrimp cocktail was ''mushy" per my sister. Oysters were shucked well but there was no acidic sauce on the side like a mignonette...Instead it came with a brown gravy-like sauce that did nothing to enhance or compliment any flavors of the raw bar items and seemed like a very random and accidental pairing. I dismissed it as a "me" problem, that I was being too picky and expecting too much since the seafood tower was $95. Okay but Then came the entrees and laid before my eyes was the $75 ribeye steak which truly looked like something from Dennys but I held judgment until trying it. Bite after bite I *desperately* searched for any redeeming factor but quickly came to the conclusion that my steak was 1) very likely microwaved based on the absence of any charring of caramelization on the outside 2) not seasoned with a lick of salt or butter 3) definitely comparable to a steak you'd get at Denny's with the exception of the exorbitant price tag (and honestly probably better tasting bc at least they'd have the sense to season it with butter and salt and finish it off on the stove top). I cannot emphasize how disappointing the food was. My husband ordered the halibut and the risotto tasted like something I could've made (and I don't cook). My brother-in-law ordered the seafood casserole and found it to be extremely dry and completely lacking in flavor. My sister enjoyed her salmon but it did not knock her socks off and (ultimately, we think responsible for leaving her in the bathroom for hours). For desserts, the crème brulee was very good but the banana foster crepes were just amateur at best. Nothing elevated about this place except the decor and price. Total bill came to a jaw-dropping $789 which would have been fine if the food was even moderately decent but I considered it all-in-all as just barely edible. After leaving the restaurant I am left searching for answers about a place that has been around to stand the test of time and came very highly recommended. At one point I considered that maybe they were just really busy and slammed on NYEs but we had a 4pm reservation so definitely beat any crowd, plus I am sure they were staffed appropriately given the holiday. Camille's, I am truly at a loss...literally for having just spend nearly a grand for glorified cafeteria food and figuratively having lived through that experience and wondering how an establishment that could service what essentially amounted to dog food could remain open after all these years and be so highly esteemed. Sorry Camille's, I am telling everyone I know to save themselves and look elsewhere.

Always great food and service, still one of the best restaurants on "the Hill" Camille's is like an institution in RI for great Italian food and an still has an old world atmosphere even after the update a few years ago. I loved it before the changeover you felt like you were thrown back in time and you might catch a glimpse of some of the more notorious Federal Hill denizens that held their meetings in the small dining rooms that lined the perimeter of the main dining room. Still has tons of charm and the service is top notch from the valets, to the maitre d, to the bartenders and wait staff. My all time Federal Hill restaurant.

My partner and I came here for lunch because 1. It was 2 blocks away from our Airbnb and 2. It had great reviews, faring better than most, if not all Italian restaurants in the neighborhood (solely in public reviews). The experience was perfect. The restaurant was quiet, romantic, beautifully decorated with old school charm. Our waiter was friendly, patient, informative and attentive. The food was delicious and so were the drinks. Very reasonably priced as well! We would % recommend!!

I booked this restaurant for my husband and his colleagues for dinner tonight and I was very disappointed with my choice. Service was rushed. The waiter clearly wasn't interested in helping us with the extensive menu. He literally said to us "if we weren't ready that he had other orders to take." So rude! The drinks were okay, but the food was very mediocre for the price. No one said that they liked their food. One person in our party didn't even eat their meal because it was so bad. I ordered the Arancini and Pappardelle Bolognese and found them both to be pretty bland. They should at least put salt and pepper on the table if they don't season the food correctly. The desserts were the only thing that we enjoyed. With all of the rave reviews it makes me wonder what we did to be treated so shabbily, but I'm sure glad that we weren't paying for it!

Outstanding restaurant! Great service & food. Veal Parm Chop w Vodka Sauce instead of traditional red sauce. Very best veal chop I've ever had!! Side of oil & garlic pasta - yumm Pappardelle Bolognese very rich & tasty. Salads, bread and dipping oil all top notch. Not from the area but definitely a must go to when visiting Providence.

The vibe was great. The light was pretty dim and people were in fancy dress. The server was friendly. We got a Caesar salad and I like. However, the meatballs in the pasta tasted a little bit gamey. The Crème brûlée was great (one of the best I've tried). Recommended if you like Italian food and the smell of lamb and beef

Went to dinner with my wife and some friends on Saturday June 15th. Couldn't have had a better night. From the valets greeting us and opening all 4 doors to them getting our car and wishing us a good weekend. The wait staff and food were superb. Not our first time there and definitely not our last.

Excellent service I came here with a friend to celebrate a birthday . I had not been here in years and I was looking forward to coming back to celebrate my friend's birthday. The waiter was super nice and patient. They were short staffed given all of the stuff that's going on. I ended up getting a White Russian for a drink which was excellent. For appetizers we got raw oysters and calamari which were delicious. I ended up getting the ravioli which was delicious. My friend had his birthday and they gave him complimentary cake which was fine. Parking is valet or street. Overall if I was in the area I would come back again..

Made reservations here for my birthday. Food was pretty good but didn't have that total wow factor i was expecting. Drinks were a little slow to come out. The calamari and oysters to start were delicious. I saw a lot of reviews raving about the pork chop so i got that. It was good but it was a bit over cooked. My partners steak was was pretty flavorful. They both came with mashed and veggies which were good but just nothing to be super excited over. Our server was very nice. The place wasn't as packed as i expected it to be. I would try again but maybe stick with a pasta dish or something.

The place is elegantly decorated and has an upscale vibe. Our server was great and very friendly. The food was amazing. The only thing we got that I did not care for was the ravioli on granchio. It was more soupy than I would have liked and had some odd flavor combinations. Other than that, the calamari, gnocchi, and creme brûlée were spectacular. Great place to grab some Italian food if you are in the area.

Love this place. Food, service and ambiance. All right out of the Sopranos. Ordered chicken parm and gnocchi. Awesome.

If I could rate this meal a 10000/10 I would. I loved my grandmas veal Marsala so much I ordered it to go for dinner (sadly not pictured). Also, had some of her snail salad which was delicious. All four of us loved their food and drinks and ordered even more food to go. My grandma comes to visit from Florida and has always requested another restaurant in the neighborhood - we ended up going here and she was saying this is her new spot. Filled with flavor!! Cannot wait to be back!

Had a reservation at 7:45pm for 7 and was seated promptly which was nice, but service throughout the night was pretty poor and very delayed -- with the exception of Jack, who was very helpful and prompt in having our leftover entrées packed. The bread, Oysters Rockefeller, and Gamberi Fra Diavolo were pretty good, but I thought the Zuppa Di Pesce with white sauce was pretty average. A nice place for a slow more formal dinner.

Food was outstanding as was the service. I feel it is overpriced but still worth a visit.

Being strongly suggested by friends of ours we took a trip to Federal Hill for some fine Italian dining. This is an elegant and classy establishment with all the fixin's' of warmth, elegance and charm. Though the start of dinner did not get off on the most pleasant of foot due to a rude host, our server Joe made up for this curt behavior. Overall the evening was enjoyable. As for my lasagna dinner, the portion size was good. The lasagna was al Dente, the sauce was superb and the cheese was plentiful. They offer a wide choice of a beverages and wine, with a nice selection of bourbon. This place is far from inexpensive so prepare yourself.

My colleague took me to Camille's for a nice Italian dinner. It was soooo lovely! There is valet, which is definitely the option to take if you don't Uber or Lyft. I would recommend reservations on Open Table too. My colleague took care of this! We were greeted by the host who was so kind! He took us to our table on the patio. Couldn't believe how great the weather was and no one else was on the patio. We started off with Sangria and calamari. The calamari was so yummy especially with the red Sangria. This truly Italian menu was amazing! I had such a hard time selecting what I wanted. I ended up going with the special of the evening, Halibut with Lobster risotto. How fancy is that?! My taste buds were so happy! My colleague got the chicken parmigiana, which is her favorite dish there. It comes with fresh pasta too. She let me try a piece, which was sooo yummy! With dinner, we both had a glass of red wine. I went with the Cab from Napa (Camus to be exact). What a nice glass of wine! We were too full for dessert, but we still have the waiter share the options while we drooled.
