    Had a great meal here! Smelled delicious the moment we stepped in the door. We shared the Invernale salad (greens and beets! mmm!). We both had the Pork Roast meal and it was awesome! Tender, tasty pork and creamy polenta with Swiss Chard for the greens. Friendly waitstaff and a nice environment overall. Short walk to PPAC for a show after dinner.

    We went to dinner prior to an event at the Providence Performing Arts Center (PPAC), which is about 6 blocks away. The food is phenomenal, not over priced for what you get. We had the Veal Parmesan and the Pasta Bolognese, both which were fabulous! The drinks from the bar were terrific - ice cold martini's. They have valet parking, and a coat check room. They also have a limo service to take you to and from PPAC for the show. What a wonderful experience!

    Visited on a Monday night and it was a terrific evening! The entire staff was great from the wait staff to the servers to the complimentary valet which is a bonus on Federal Hill. We opted for Massimo's Monday Night Wine + Dine set price menu because they included terrific gluten free Italian options - to include GF bread. We shared the Baby Spinach, Caramelized Onion, Gorgonzola, Candied Walnuts, Pancetta, Balsamic Vinaigrette Salad, Calamari Fritti, Shrimp Scampi and Gnocchi margherita - all cooked beautifully. We parted ways on dessert so there was Tiramisu, Cannoli, and we even added a Cheesecake with Cherries. Needless to say, we are not afraid of a great meal! We will be back! Thank you!

    Unexpected gem on the rivers of the quaint Providence town. Portions were unexpectedly large, and the food was just delicious. Only made better by great bartender… Absolutely will patronize the river bistro in the future.
