For more than a century, Federal Hill has been the center of Italian-American culture in Rhode Island. Known locally as "The Hill," this culinary hub is home to some of the most storied dining establishments in the Northeast. Atwells Avenue is the main drag. It starts at Broadway, across the street from the Hilton Providence, and continues across Route 6 before merging with Manton Avenue.
The majority of the destination restaurants and specialty stores in Federal Hill are located along Atwells, between Bradford and America Streets. The basil, mozzarella and tomato colors of the Italian flag are painted into this bustling thoroughfare, which is closed to motor vehicles on Friday and Saturday evenings during the summer for Al Fresco on the Hill. There are also some notable bakeries and pizzerias along Spruce, which overlooks the Huntington Expressway.

I grew up in Rhode Island. In the 1950's my grandfather would take me from his home off Willow Street to Atwells Avenue for shopping and visiting with friends. At that time there were cart vendors all along the street selling vegetables, poultry and meats. What a wonderful time! I live in California now but every time I visit Rhody to see family I go to the Hill for some great food and supplies. Then I head down to Olneyville for a New York System Wiener or two, or three!

I prefer my snails cut into chunks. No celery, no nothing just snails, olive oil, lemon and fresh Italian parsley. You can add other ingredients like hot sauce afterwards. It's my preferences but Venda is a wonderful store.
