  Perfect wedding experience

  We held our ~90 person wedding at Massimo in November and had an incredible experience. The upstairs space is gorgeous and was spacious enough for dinner and dancing. The food was incredible, and the staff was superb. Chris was a delight to work with - none of our needs or last-minute changes were ever a problem, and everything went off without a hitch. Our guests all had an incredible time, and so did we!

  Wedding Reception at Massimo

  We chose Massimo for our wedding reception and it was truly the best decision. We used the upstairs space and had a cocktail hour and seated dinner with ~90 guests followed by dancing. Chris was a dream to work with leading up to the day - he was thorough, organized, flexible, and made us feel like family. The night itself was perfect and Chris stayed until the very end which was so appreciated. You will not find better service, food, or ambiance anywhere else. Our guests are still raving about the experience and the incredibly accommodating and friendly staff. Can’t recommend Massimo enough!

  Beautiful gem on the Hill for smaller weddings!

  Massimo is awesome! Not only is it is our favorite restaurant on the hill, it is also a fantastic place to have a wedding reception. Considering the quality of the food, and the warm colors and decor, Massimo made for the perfect venue. Not to mention the staff! From the get-go, we were impressed with Chris’ professionalism and attention to detail. He really was on top of everything. Even dealing with some last minute changes on the day of, he was ready for everything and didn’t miss a beat. The whole staff was super friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend!

  Amazing spot on Federal Hill to host a private event!

  My son was recently married in Providence and I needed to find a venue to host the rehearsal dinner. Initially I found another Italian spot on Federal Hill that I fell in love with; however, after several failed attempts to get a returned phone call or email, I decided to look elsewhere, that's when a co-worker mentioned Massimo's. I went online and sent an email inquiring on private events, I received an email back the same day from the restaurant manager, Sarah Doolan telling me their event coordinator Kerri Schwartz was on vacation, but she would be happy to send me over some information and would have Kerri contact me when she returned. I cannot stress enough how responsive the two of them were. I decided to take a trip down to Providence one weekend w/a friend to scope it out. The service was unbelievable, the food was delicious, the upstairs venue room was beautiful. I work in customer service, the most impressive part was that they had no idea I was "shopping" them and the level of service they provided was outstanding. Next was the price, the event menu offered a 3 course meal that was VERY AFFORDABLE and the portion size was more than enough. I ended up having 30 guests and reserved the space on the second floor, the room itself was beautifully decorated, the waitstaff assigned to our event was phenomenal, they were super attentive & friendly. I honestly cant think of one thing they could have done better! Awesome night!!!! For anyone questioning, NO, I do not work there or know anyone who does, just honestly can't say enough about this place!

  Amazing rehearsal dinner on 2nd floor of Massimo!

  The rehearsal dinner was . . . simply perfect! This was due in large part to Kerri's (their event manager) patience with us, attention to detail, and quick response to every question we posed - we loved working with her, and she made what could have been a stressful event into a fun and delicious one. From the food and champagne to the beautiful space and ambiance of Massimo, it was just an incredible beginning to Nick and Taj's wedding weekend. And, with regards to the Massimo staff that cared for us that evening - each staff member went above and beyond their traditional roles and made us feel like family. As a matter of fact, our friends from out of state asked us if we knew everyone who worked there personally, since we were so well cared for that night! We highly recommend Massimo to anyone who is planning an event that needs space for approximately 70-100 people!

  I recently hosted my parents 50th wedding anniversary celebration upstairs at Massimo Restaurant and I was very impressed. From the planning details, to the food, the atmosphere and especially the service, everything was top notch. I have worked in the service industry for over 20 years (hotel/hospitality/restaurants) and I can truly recommend this venue to anyone. They really did a great job!! All of our guests raved about it! Thank you to you and your staff for a memorable time!!

  Beautiful Bridal Shower

  Massimo’s went above and beyond for my daughters bridal shower. From the setup to the food everything was amazing. Kerri was extremely accommodating and was in constant communication with me to assure a beautiful day. The waitstaff was attentive to all of our guests needs. Additionally, the staff made my vision possible with a gorgeous desert table that resembled a magazine article. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to host an event. Thank you Massimo’s for an exceptional experience.

  Working with Massimo for our rehearsal dinner was great! They made sure we got the event we wanted for the budget we had available. We ended up sharing the upstairs space with another event, which I was a little worried about, but it turned out just fine and they managed the two events seamlessly! Also, the food was spectacular! Everyone said they ate too much because they just couldn't help themselves!

  After careful consideration, and a lot of research, we chose Massimo to celebrate our daughter's wedding rehearsal dinner and we could not have been more pleased with our decision. From my initial meeting with Kerri and her professional approach to planning up to the actual dinner itself, everything went perfectly! All of the food was spectacular, if I had to pick a favorite it would have to be chicken picatta and the orecchiette. There were several menu options to choose from and everything tasted just wonderful. The dinner was in July and people are still talking about how good the food was! We had 90 guests and there was still plenty of room to dance and celebrate comfortably. I highly recommend Massimo for anyone looking to impress their guests with amazing food, great atmosphere and a friendly and professional staff. Thanks again Massimo!

  We had a fantastic experience upstairs at Massimo in October 2017 for our wedding rehearsal dinner. It was shortly after they opened, and had renovated the upstairs room. Clearly their experience in the business was evident. Our party of 75 was large, but was not a problem at all, as everything was perfect. Having a private bar upstairs, everyone was able to get a drink, mingle a bit, and there was still ample space for us to create a nice arrangement of tables for a sit-down dinner. The management was pleasant and kind, and our event coordinator Kerri was knowledgeable and responsive to all questions and emails. On the evening of the event, the owners Esther and Joe DeQuattro were present and helped to oversee that all details were in place. The food was ABSOLUTELY delicious from the appetizers through dessert-everyone raved about the food! We chose an open bar, had passed appetizers and our guests had a choice of a few hand-picked entrees. Noticeably, the servers were all very nice and very efficient. We were able to decorate as we chose-the room looked fantastic and our guests had a wonderful evening. I would absolutely recommend this venue for any event.

  Kerri was our contact and she was absolutely amazing! We planned our whole wedding from Maine and she was very accommodating through out the whole process. Whenever I called or emailed her, I got a response within 20 minutes. She is super organized. The food was amazing and the cost was reasonable. The restaurant is just beautiful, by far the best venue for a wedding in Providence.

  We recently held my daughter's bridal shower at Massimo in the special occasion room upstairs. It was perfect!
  The room looked absolutely beautiful, everyone raved about the food and the service was top notch. Kerri, the banquet coordinator, was amazing. She was so helpful and accommodating to all our needs. It truly was a perfect day....couldn't be happier!

  I had the pleasure of hosting my dream wedding at Massimo! The entire planning process was flawlessly easy and stress free. It was nice to know that I didn't have worry about my venue during what is known to be a very stressful time; I knew I was in good hands. We were able to customize a menu special for our big day and the food was amazing! My guests are still raving about it. My favorite part? The service. I felt as though the staff was part of my family, so genuine and kind. They were always available in any time of need. I wouldn't change it for the world. Thank you Massimo for a dream come true!
