The Oldest Italian Restaurant In Rhode Island Is Camille’s And It’s Delicious

There's certainly no shortage of delicious Italian food in Rhode Island, and for that we are thankful. Nearly one in five Rhode Islanders have Italian ancestors, so it comes as no surprise that Providence especially is packed with tasty Italian cuisine. However, if you're in the mood for a good old-fashioned landmark spot, look no further than Camille's. Rhody's longest running Italian eatery is as fantastic as ever.

Camille's is located in the historic Federal Hill neighborhood of Providence, where it has been since its 1914 opening.

It's impressive that this long-standing restaurant is still such a beloved local treasure.

This beautiful dining room has been renovated and remodeled, but it still has its original character.

This place is perfect for special occasions, date nights, a family meal, or just an average weeknight when you're in the mood for something hearty and comforting.

To locals, this stunning space is known as Camille's on the Hill.

They're open Tuesday - Friday for lunch and dinner (from 11:30 a.m. - 10 p.m.) and on Saturday for dinner from 4 p.m. - 10 p.m.

Deciding what to eat here is no easy task.

You'll have your choice of a wide variety of masterful Italian dishes, from classic spaghetti to savory steaks and seafood.

The pasta list is fairly extensive, as you might imagine.

Treat yourself to some ravioli, pappardelle, or gnocchi -- but don't forget to save room for dessert. It's worth it.

In addition to a mouthwatering food menu, Camille's has an outstanding wine list.

They've even won an Award of Excellence from Wine Spectator Magazine.

It's easy to see why Camille's has stood the test of time.
