“ Wow! Amazing food and our server Michael was also amazing! We did the deal with restaurant week and I was shocked at how much food you get. This is a restaurant that you have to keep going back to just to try all of the different choices on the menu. You will not be disappointed! ”
“ Well, we were planning on using one of our Christmas gift cards another Federal Hill restaurant today for lunch, but we drove up and found that they are closed for renovations..... so we went to Cassarino's. Good decision! Haven't been there in years and we were not disappointed. The renovations they've made since we were there last are really nice. Our server, Drew, was pleasant and very efficient, considering how many tables he was taking care of. I had a nice glass of Federalist Zinfandel (one of my faves), and my husband had a Riesling. They offer 6oz or 9oz pours. I couldn't decide what to have for lunch so many yummy options. I chose the Pollo Rabe: Grilled chicken breast served over a bed of sautéed rabe with prosciutto, topped with roasted peppers and portabella mushrooms, asparagus spears and roasted potatoes. It was so good and the portion was big enough that I brought 1/2 home. My husband is the connisoeur of chicken parm and he really enjoyed it. Lunch portion was $17.95. Perfect portion size for him. Definitely will be back to try some other menu items including the wood fired pizzas and the "appy hour" specials. Highly recommend! ”
“ One of the many Italian restaurants in Federal Hill. The service from both the hosts and our servers were good. The gnocchi was okay but the chicken Parmesan was AMAZING. Not necessarily authentic Italian but it was still delicious. ”
“ Once again, worthy of six stars. World class service by Damiani...world class food, enough for two portions of leftovers. Wildly reasonably priced. Best restaurant on Federal Hill no questions about it. Worthy of your Nona. ”

The service was great very friendly and attentive. Overall ambience was great we sat upstairs overlooking Atwells .. i definitely recommend this restaurant ”
“ We recently dined at Cassarino's on Federal Hill, and it was an unforgettable experience. We made a reservation and were pleasantly surprised to be seated on the third floor, which offers the best ambiance with a stunning view overlooking Federal Hill. The food was nothing short of amazing. Each dish was meticulously prepared, and the portions were impressively large. Our entire party was thoroughly impressed with the quality and taste. A special shout-out to our server, Eddy, who truly made our night special. He was incredibly attentive and accommodating throughout the evening. We mentioned that someone in our party doesn't eat pork, and Eddy was diligent in ensuring that everything we ordered was either pork-free or had it on the side. Cassarino's offers a perfect blend of great food, a welcoming atmosphere, and outstanding service. We highly recommend dining here, especially if you can get a seat on the third floor. Feel free to adjust any details to better match your experience! ”
“ Cassarino's is an absolute must visit whenever I'm in Providence! It's one of my favorite Italian restaurants, period. The portions are huge, prices are fair, ambiance is great, and the service is excellent. The food is consistently fantastic, and everything that I tried during my visit over the weekend was fresh, flavorful, and made me crave more. It's a must-try when in Providence, you will not be disappointed! ”
“ Even a frugal financial mutant in training such as myself who doesn't venture out as much as many others here probably do knows that finding a restaurant firing on all cylinders can be quite rare these days. And yet Cassarino's manages to do so whilst making it look naturally effortless. Shout out to my outta town gal pal for recommending this shiny beacon of a restaurant as our super chill friendly send off dinner for one another. Ya see, my friend was in the mood for authentic Italian cuisine. After much deliberation, we settled on this place. And we're glad we did...even IF their portions can be rather enormous for the modest eater. Plus, it doesn't help that my friend eats like a bird, even whilst preggers. But....that's really a minor point. If you scope their website and YP prior to visiting as I often do, you'll note they offer free valet. Okay...technically nothing is free. But at least you don't pay extra for the valet service. Just be sure to arrive with cash for tipping because these guys definitely deserve one. Easiest way to take advantage of this is to arrive on the same side of the road the restaurant is on so that you may pull directly into the valet lane. If you see a dude with dark glasses approach your vehicle, you have just met your valet driver for the evening (it's not as ominous as it sounds). Hand them the keys, remove any valuables you have, then they take it from there. Immediately upon walking in, you'll spot their WiFi password on the hostess' desk; which, despite taking care to snap a quick pick for reference, I instantly forgot to bother using upon sitting at our table. XD That's probably because we both were hella distracted by the stellar waiter service, immaculate restaurant decor, and stunning food bestowed before our very eyes. The cuisine here can best be described as casual fine dining. For starters, we had the Aracini (or risotto balls for us non-Italians). Crispy on the outside, creamy and saucy on the inside. These pair perfectly with their homemade marinara sauce. But be forewarned: these babies are HUUUUGE!! I'm used to seeing these the size of your average meatball. These were about 3 times bigger. We each ate one, seeing as we still had main courses coming. 9 out of 10, totally worth taking home whatever you can't finish. The bread with garlic oil was a nice addition, too. It was reminiscent of what you'd get from the Macaroni Grill, only executed way better. The oil seasons the bread adequately. With that out of the way, we gotta talk about the Cassarino Burger I got. Now, reading the ingredients to this thing had my initial doubts. Then I reminded myself that was probably just my culinary anxiety talking and that I should simply take a chance on this thing. OH EMM GEE, does this dish ever slap! The fact that all the ingredients work in a perfectly harmonized synergy to the point where no element ends up dominating the palate, yet is still packed full of flavor is just....*mwah*...chef's kiss! To better understand this, I must take you through my bizarre thought process. See, I was worried that maybe the sweet onions and balsamic reduction would make the burger taste "off", since I'm not usually a fan of sweet and savory flavors being mixed together. However, one bite of this 10 ounce monster (yeah, more than half a pound) told me these chefs knew precisely what they were doing. Firstly, the burger itself was both seasoned and cooked to perfection! It even had a nice charred sear which added that final layer of flavor we come to love as grill masters. Second, they topped it off with crumbled Gorgonzola cheese. This offered a potency which was then slightly offset by the sweet onion and balsamic mentioned earlier. Cap it all off with a toasted bun and crispy hickory smoked bacon and you've got yourself a legit upscale burger that isn't pretentiously priced. Believe me when I tell you....this was easily worth the price! Granted, the fries were slightly overcooked, but still mostly edible. I suppose I could have swapped them out for the redskin mash or something, but....it didn't really ruin anything for me as is. 9 out of 10, would highly recommend. Overall, it was a lovely night with a grand time had by all. Hoping to check out more places around the Providence area in the coming months.

“ Awesome food Casarino veal OMG! Gravy was delicious. Steak done to perfection. Potato croquet so different, squash flowers! Mmmm. Sweet ambiance tables or booths. Max and Mike were our servers and I can't say enough of theirs. Young men. Moderate pricing for excellent food. ”
“ Came in for dinner with a bunch of friends when someone was in town for the holidays. We had a reservation and they sat us on time. The food was amazing and the drinks were super tasty! Servers were very attentive. They do have valet parking and if it gets late, they pull your car up and give you the keys and take off. It was super convenient for us to go for another drink after they closed! ”
