historic federal hill

One of the best places in the US for authentic Italian - and in my opinion just as good as Boston's North End. There are a ton of famous restaurants on the Hill, and great pastry as well. All price ranges. Love this area!

Providence has a lot to offer, however no visit would be complete without dining on Federal Hill. We find it to be much better than the North End in Boston. More food and more enjoyable walking.

Very well run and organized !Educational, hands on, fun and authentic !We ate so much that we didn't need lunch!Cindy Salvato is an excellent tour guide who gives a well prepared presentation, and comfortably relates to her participants and shop owners‼️I highly recommend Savoring Federal Hill with Cindy Salvato to anyone who has a passion for eating and preparing authentic Itslisn Food‼️

The "Hill" is known for all it's Italian heritage, homemade cooking, Italian markets with authentic foods from Italy that is still very prominent in the neighborhood. It has one of the best reviews in the country. If you don't want Italian, there are many other choices (Chinese, Mexican, Tapas) An area to go to when in Rhode Island.

In my humble opinion, the 2 best "Italian Districts" in New England are Boston's historic North End and Providence's colorful Federal Hill. Atwelll's Ave, the "spine" at the top of the hill is lined with wonderful restaurants and stores and the surrounding blocks hold some delightful surprises. A trip to Providence without a trip to the hill would be incomplete.

Federal Hill Is known for it's many fine restaurants....However, there's always that diamond in the rough.....It's a little bit of this and a little bit of that....You Simply Must Go During The Summer....Or Special Events...(Like Columbus Day Week-end)!~!!!4th of July is the best....Very busy...Lot's of crowds...Parking can be difficult....But, It's worth it!!!

If you want to go to Italy - great! But if you are close to Providence, Rhode Island you canhave the same for lots less. Federal Hill in Providence is where you want to go - Food, Wine,Ambiance - It will make the experience. See Pasquale Square - in the summer - you are in Italy.

The buildings here are beautiful and make for great pictures. Photographers can have a field day with all of the great architecture. Just walking along the street with all of the shops and restaurants seems to step you back in time. Many places to choose from for those who want a meal while they are visiting Historic Federal Hill.

We walked over from Downtown, it was a sunny day! Parking is tight so valet is an option. There are many good places to eat or just get a coffee and pastry!

I like the places on Fed Hill they are good but you can find better restaurants in our area if you ask locals.

Parking is a nightmare you can drive around for 20 minutes looking for parking. Most spots are blocked off for valets. the one time I used a valet here they damaged my new car. Not overly safe to walk off the main area at night. Too bad it could be an amazing tourist spot for the State of Rhode Island

Beautiful area to explore. Wear comfortable shoes, the sidewalks are cracked & uneven! Great dining & shopping nearby.

Federal Hill has something for everyone. It is the kind of place that you can drive to and then figure out where and what you want to eat. Predominantly Italian restaurants but that is not all there is. Mexican and Chinese come to mind as well. Bakeries and Pizza. Something for every budget.

You will find several Italian restaurants at Atwells Ave. I highly recommend a visit, specially if you find yourself hungry.

Always enjoy walking down Federal Hill (Atwaters Ave) the shops are nice and the people are friendly. Don't go too far out of the tourist areas, some areas are not too great around it.
