Рет қаралды 22,353
Күн бұрынI walk through Federal Hill in Providence, Rhode Island. This neighborhood has a large Italian-American population with numerous restaurants and businesses representing Italian culture. I was actually surprised at how extensive this neighborhood really was.

The “old” Federal Hill was the best. That was when they had “ push carts “ from all over come to The Hill to sell their fruits and vegetables. Now it’s ALL restaurants, no more small family stores. Now that was something to see.

@@ActionKid The many closings you saw were mainly due to Covid. Rhode Island was experiencing a heavy surge of infections at that point in time; and there were a lot of dining/entertainment restrictions in place. Federal Hill is a VERY busy area in normal times (you would never have such an easy time finding a parking spot there, even down the back and side streets). Thayer Street (covered in your College Hill/Brown University video) and Downtown Providence are also usually a lot busier than you saw. There are quite a few other neighborhoods in Providence that are MUCH more active than would have been experienced at that time.

I used to work in a small office park right down the hill from Atwells. So much good food just steps away. I spent many lunches at Venda, Cassarino's and Sicilia's. Casserta's is good, but it isn't my favorite. There are some good brick ovens and other pizza houses near where I live that I like better. I'm glad you got to sample some of Providence's best cuisine while you were here. It's a bummer you also got to see up close one of the less pleasant things Rhode Island has to offer--terrible roads constantly being dug up. Come back again soon.

Amazingly enough, there are 12 blocks of restaurants in this area, and they are among the finest in the world. These restaurants offer as fine cuisine as you could get anywhere in NYC or even Milan. What is amazing, is that these restaurants don’t cannibalize each other, they all usually survive, and if one closes, another just as good, opens in its place

Very informative Action Kid. Always appreciate the Italian-American neighborhoods and all your videos. My dream is to open a “Cafe Sportivo” in Florida when I retire. Offer coffee, espresso, cappuccino and pastries. A social club where you can smoke a cigar, play cards and watch the game. The summer will have Catholic festivals in the Italian sections. Many people come back. Try Hammonton, NJ, Our Lady of Mount Carmel in July. This a from a South Philly guy.

Thank you very much for another video from Providence. It’s a very beautiful yet versatile town. Federal Hill has a lot of great restaurants and places to eat but it looks compared to the other parts of Providence as a little bit run down. It’s has a bit of upstate Ny mix with a hint of downtown Baltimore. (Don’t know if you been to Baltimore but it’s a interesting place to go). The fountain was beautiful and park was nice as well. Thank you again for your hard work and may you have a great day
@ashylarry1589 2 жыл бұрын
One of the best places by far to eat in Prov is Food For The Soul on Atwells Ave. it’s a little hole in the wall that’s been there forever. The owner goes by the name Chef and his employees are kids from his church that are acquiring cooking skills to start a career after school. The kids are well monitored, the food is out of this world and Chef is the kindest, friendliest restaurant owner I’ve met and I cooked for 14 years in some of the best restaurants in Newport so trust me. The BBQ wings with extra sauce is the best around. I literally drive from Newport to Prov just to get them. They’re so good. If you happen to make it there tell Chef you saw the guy from Newport on KZfaq and he told you to go there. He’ll take good care of you.

I feel bad that you weren't here when things were more vibrant. The pandemic has hit the restaurant industry especially hard and there has been some turnover. Maybe even some new businesses as I just moved from that neighborhood in September and a couple of those places looked new. However, things really do pick up more in the evenings and especially on weekends in the warmer months. It can get extremely busy, and starting last summer they actually shut down most of the street for outdoor dining.

Casertas is closed on Mondays. They are fine ... go down the other way on that street and you would hit Pastiche, an amazing pastry shop. Tavolo is phenomenal. Zooma is one of my favorites. Camilles is just off the hill and also great. You could have started at the other end of atwells and done yourself a favor , no one goes down the end you started at. The hill isn’t really Italian anymore . Certainly doesn’t qualify as a little Italy.
