We took our son & his friend for graduation dinner on May 17th & have nothing but good things to say. We were running VERY late, due to traffic coming from NJ & we called to move our reservation back 1 1/2 hrs, it was NO problem for them. The hot antipasto platter for 4 was WONDERFUL with a nice...

Visited for the first time with a friend, food was excellent (I had the chicken parm) and the service was phenomenal! The waiter was very friendly and knowledgeable, he didn't make us feel rushed at all, and we sat there for a long time chatting and people watching (great place for people watching if you get a table overlooking the...

My family has eaten here several times. We have never been disappointed. The wait staff is phenomenal. At one family function our waiter took 20 orders without writing one thing down and got everything perfect.

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal here. Window seats in the upstairs dining room look out over a bustling street. Our meals were VERY good. Their by-the-glass wines were interesting and fairly priced. Service was also very good. We'll be back next time we visit Providence.

Our reservations for four were for my wife's birthday.The Valet service was first class, (as usual), and we were quickly seated on the 3rd floor. Our waiter, (I wish I got his name for his outstanding service to our table), was unbelievable! The salads, the beverages, meals, etc., were delivered without a hitch! I cannot say anything negative about the... More

We have sampled many of the restaurants on Federal Hill in Providence. Last Saturday was the end of "Restaurant Week", so we decided to try Cassarino's, and were very pleased! During Restaurant Week, you can select 3 courses from a subset of their menu for a fixed price. Dinner was $30/person for appetizer, entree,and dessert. The apps are generous enough... More

If you're not busy on some Saturday or Sunday afternoon, take a walking tour of Federal Hill in Providence, Rhode Island. This older Italian neighborhood has undergone a renovation that makes it a true tourist destination. Italian food is everywhere on Federal Hill but no one has better than Cassarino's right on Atwells Avenue. We've eaten in all of them... More

Great place for authentic Italian food! The calamari is a MUST! The portions are huge, so definitely good to share. We ate in the bar and it was a great atmosphere.
