Sometimes we all find ourselves longing for a vacation out of the country. There is so much to be seen, touched, and tasted in other parts of the world, but it's not always easy to hop on a plane and fly somewhere new. Luckily, you can sometimes find a little slice of another country right here in America, and we think the Little Italy of Providence, Federal Hill, is just that.
Federal Hill is thought of as one of the top culinary destinations in the country. When you see this pinecone arch, you'll know you've landed in the mecca of Italian food.
This gorgeous fountain is a centerpiece of the area. It really helps lend to the feeling that you've gone overseas.
There are multiple cuisines represented in the area, like American, Mexican, and Chinese, but with over 15 restaurants, Italian is definitely dominating.
If you are on the hunt for fine dining, Andinos or Baco Vino and Contorni are stellar choices with cozy seating and high end authentic flavors.
Should you find yourself wanting something a little more casual, Sicilia's Pizzeria and Casserta's pizzeria offer up scrumptious pie and slices.
And don't forget to wash your meal down with some fancy Italian wine. Massimo and Pane e Vino both offer spectacular wine lists along with delicious menus.
While many of these restaurants have stellar dessert options, you may want to take a little stroll to help make some room after your meal. Local bakeries like Blush and Scialo have some unbelievable treats available.
You can also discover five different Italian marketplaces to shop for ingredients and special treat at. Antonelli Poultry, Roma, Tony's Colonial Food, Venda Ravioli, and Gasbarro's Wines all have aisles packed with items to help you craft the perfect meal.
A visit to Federal Hill seems like a great way to escape from every day life and try some exciting new flavors with loved ones. What intrigues you most about this bustling area of Providence?
