The Italian Restaurant On Atwells Ave In Providence That We Adore
Sure, they’ve been open since 2002, but we’ve only recently rediscovered them! (Full disclosure, I vaguely remember a fun family birthday party there for one of my nieces maybe 5 or 6 years ago? It’s also a PVD go-to of several people whose opinions I happen to respect.)
Anywho, this Southern Italian inspired and entirely lovely little eatery (the exterior is like somewhere you might stumble upon whilst on a vacay on the Amalfi Coast) on the main road of Providence’s Federal Hill neighborhood is cooking up some pretty amazing food.
I say this because we have gotten takeout from Pane E Vino no less than three (3) times in the last 5 or 6 weeks, and the food has been five star ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ every single time.
First off, I LOVE that I can order from my phone via Toasttab. It’s quick and super easy and my food is ready to pick up in about 35 minutes.
Next, my Italian American momma who grew up on The Hill gives everything two thumbs up. I mean, that’s something major, amirite? (Sadly I did not learn how to make gravy or homemade meatballs, but my sister can carry on those traditions.)
And in case you are curious, one of HER favorites is their Linguine Alle Vongole. (See photo below.)
Now, as I’ve said before, I don’t eat meat, but I absolutely ADORE their pastas (Linguine Alla Putanesca and Maccheroncini With Pink Sauce come to mind), salads, eggplant parm, focaccia bread, and potato cakes.
So, so good and VERY close to homemade in my book. Never too salty, greasy or buried under way too much cheese — three situations that we’ve all unfortunately encountered when ordering out or going out to dinner at one time or another.
Can’t wait to actually go for an in-person supper this spring!
