Dino was gracious and very generous. Our waitress was very helpful and attentive. We had a 10-people party, celebrating my son’s graduation from Brown. The food was delicious and plenty. From appetizers to main course to desserts, all very good. It was definitely a great evening to remember!

The service was the only good thing. Our waiter was polite and attentive. Noise level was obnoxious with loud motorcycles parked out front revving their engines , not necessarily the restaurants fault but still added to the bad experience. The club music inside the restaurant didn’t help , play dinner music instead. My veal marsala tasted like shoe leather , the cavatelli pasta was undercooked , i honestly wish i sent all my food back. I will never return .

I love this restaurant and it’s always a must go spot when in providence. This was the busiest I’ve ever seen it and it was also jazz Friday so it was quite noisy. Had a couple mix ups with our order but the waiter was quick to correct it. 100% would continue to go back!

We went for dinner on Mother's Day. We were very excited to try the restaurant because one member of our party is vegan, and it's hard to find vegan Italian food. The host was pleasant and helpful. Our server was very nice but hard to find when we needed anything. When we ordered our drinks, we asked to place our appetizer order. We were told the kitchen required the appetizer and entree order at the same time. It took nearly 30 minutes to receive our wine. We requested more bread and some butter three times. It arrived shortly before our meal, which took more than 90 minutes to arrive. Salads were on the small side and so lightly dressed that it was difficult to taste the dressing. We had waited so long for them and the server wasn't around, so we knew it would be futile to ask for more dressing. The entrees were good with the exception of chicken parm, which was tough and appeared to have been sitting for a while. Everyone in my party agreed that the food wasn't worth the cost, and the overall experience was negative.
