    Pros: The bread they bring you with the garlic dip 10/10-if you love garlic. Caprese- good appetizer with added prosciutto Service- impeccable. Always there when we needed someone. Cons: Entrees were disappointing. Clam's Linguini- needed some more flavor added to it Gnocchi Alla Vodka- sauce tasted like it came from Chef Boyardee. Not trying to be mean, it's literally all I could think about when eating. Noisy- we couldn't even hear ourselves think -sensory overload. We were seated in the last table in the back. Between the loud table next to us, the espresso machine and all the traffic in and out of the bathrooms we were excited to leave. Restaurant feels cramped like there is one or two too many tables.

    Food was super delicious and fresh! Service was pretty good and our waitress obliged to separate bills for work trip so that was helpful! Ambiance was loud and lively but also pretty nice. I was impressed they took the time to find and email my receipt as I needed it for work. 10/10 would recommend!

    In a sea of endless Italian food on the hill, Andino's can be easily overlooked but not outdone. After trying just about every other spot on Atwells, I can't believe it took me this long to get to Andino's....my mistake! The host seemed surprised to see us despite being right on time for our reservation but we were seated right away after a quick exchange. Our server Erik came right over with a smile and continued to be a consummate professional throughout the evening. I wish I could have him be my server everywhere I go. We started the night with some seasonal cocktails. The spiced pear old fashioned was to die for. Complete with a solitary large cube and balanced flavors it was delicious. Our table had veal parm, linguine and white clam, and lasagna. Each dish was fresh and executed perfectly. It's a garlic lovers paradise but never overpowering, in a way any Nonna would approve. For dessert we split a slice of limoncello cake. The cake was so light and fluffy it was like eating air. Even the frosting was light enough where it didn't feel like we were stuffing ourselves to finish it. It's a smaller place so it gets busy quickly and can be a little loud. I would highly recommended a reservation as I don't think you'd have much luck getting a table on a weekend. There was a bar area with some seats but it's probably not easy to get a seat there either. As the old adage goes, if a restaurant is full all the time there's a good reason why ;)

    Andino's is my favorite Italian restaurant in the Federal Hill neighborhood in Providence. If you haven't been to Providence you have no idea they have some of the best old school Italian anywhere. There is nothing better than grabbing a couple of bar stools and having dinner at the bar. Terry, their fabulous bartender has been making exceptional classic cocktails for 20 years. She makes you feel like you're home from the moment you walk in. Along with their fantastic Italian fare, they have a nice selection of seasonal cocktail recipes. I usually stick with my staple Manhattan when eating Italian so trust me it's one of the best you'll have. Andino's is known for a very healthy pour which is nice given how skinny they get these days. So nice, my friends and call it a kiddie pool. Who doesn't love a heavy pour? Next time you're around Providence, go see Terry at Andino's in Federsl Hill and enjoy a delicious kiddie pool. Salute

    The calamari was cooked just right with a nice crunch not overcooked at all. The portion was way bigger than I was expecting . His is not an appetizer for one person at all. I ordered angel hair pasta and 2 meatballs and 1 hot sausage. The portion was well worth the price. Everything was good but the meatballs need more flavor but other than that it was all good. Maigin was my waitress and she was very helpful and friendly with making sure I had everything I needed. She is an excellent waitress she gets a thumbs up on top of her rating. If you're unfamiliar with Federal Hill they have a beautiful mural of it on the wall. This is a casual ambiance setting here very relaxing and comfortable. This is truly a pillar of Federal Hill a lot of history here.

    A lady at the Providence Athenaeum recommended this place to us so we gave it a try. We didn't have reservations but were still seated within 2min & treated very well. The place played some Sinatra, had intimate lighting & old pictures up on the wall that went great with the whole wiseguy vibes for lack of better words. The food was all delicious & these were the best fried Calimari that I have ever had. Our server Eric was a total pleasure & really took good care of my wife & I.

    Came to Providence RI from Boston while on vacation. Atwells Ave, Federal Hill, was recommended to us by the hotel we were staying at. We stumbled on Andino's and decided to give them a try. There were other options but we made a great choice. The portion size was a lot that we had the leftovers for dinner. Our waitress was great in helping us decide what to order, great service! The place is nice inside .

    Fried Calamari, Baked Stuffed Mushroom

    Andino's had a nice setup for our group. Excellent service! Watermelon sangria with elderflower was delicious. Stuffed mushrooms. RI calamari was spicy with breaded peppers, red marinara on side. I went with everyone's favorite chicken parm. Huge portion! Would recommend!

    So a few things has changed since I've last been here for lunch- and I'm disappointed. This has and will still be my favorite restaurant anywhere for lunch or dinner- but we will not be able to go as often . For lunch, there was a 30 percent increase on cost and significantly reduced portions (chicken used to cover the plate) - and now there is a credit card fee on the bill of 5 percent. I totally get it restaurants need to do this to keep up with inflation and stay afloat- I was surprised it was so quiet there during lunch it used to be a very busy spot for lunch. I felt overwhelmed today with increased price, smaller portion and a credit card charge. Food was still amazing and drinks always on point. Service exception so no complaints there.

    Chicken Francaise with Penne

    I came to Andino's for lunch on the hill and valet was a huge bonus considering it was the weekend, rainy, and busy. They parked my vehicle right away and I was able to get quick service at the bar. They give you complimentary bread with olive oil and balsamic. For an appetizer, I got the fried mozzarella. It came with 4 thick mozzarella triangles and a delicious crispy breading. I would suggest asking for extra marinara sauce on the sauce, it was so good! For an entree, I ordered chicken franchise - a good piece of chicken but the sauce was very thin and too much lemon. My boyfriend's dish stole the show, he got Chicken Parmesan in a pink vodka sauce. The chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy in the middle with a delicious pink vodka sauce smothered with cheese on top. The pink vodka sauce had a nice creamy texture and great flavor. The restaurant gave throwback Italian vibes - I'll definitely be back!

    This has to be the best Italian restaurant in the world ,it should be in the Guinness book of world records for best food ,no exaggeration ,to the valet parking down to the cannoli is a 10 ,I drive an hour to eat here .i love it ,I can't say enough about this place ,you just have to go ,the food speaks for itself

    Linguini With Clam Sauce Dinner didn't have much flavor. I was disappointed in this dish.

    Food here is pretty solid. And the service staff were clearly well organized and hustling. But we had a bad server. She was friendly but didn't know the menu, didn't know the food, couldn't hear us, and generally unaware. I asked her the different options for the snails and she literally just read the menu to me. Another server saw this and gave me the response I was looking for. When explaining to my son that the dish was hot, she nearly stuck her face in his food. She didn't hear my daughter during her order properly and and responded that it wasn't on the menu until my daughter pointed to it. We ordered sweet tea and she gave us unsweetened since they don't have sweet. She asked a bus girl to water our table and we were fully watered. My watered went empty and she didn't notice when asking my son about the plate being hot Best dish was the snail salad. But we thought it would be hot and not a salad.

    Ask the Community - Andino's

    Do they have a special menu for Valentine's Day? Or is it their normal menu?

    Is Andinos good for gluten free options? Horrible question for an Italian restaurant I know, but she developed celiac disease recently

    I have been told that Andino's does have gluten free pasta but, sometimes runs out of it.

We have friends in the area who had heard of the place, but had never gone, so we made a reservation (2.5 months ahead for a 4 some on a Friday, so it must be special...) and finally got to see what the fuss was about. (Still wondering.) We started with what ended up being a high point, "beets and frites." A very interesting take with a lot of frites, not enough beets (5 slices under the stack), and about 2 tablespoons of the lemon aioli. The few tastes of the 3-part combination were great. The frites, crisp and soooo thin, were good on their own. The olive oil that came with the bread was very green (young), with a strong flavor but I was surprised that there was no pepper grinder. I had the (special) cod, which came with a lazy prep of broccoli rabe and OK potatoes. The fish was cooked well, moist and fresh, but I'm still not sure what the flavorless green topping was. Our table also had oxtail ravioli, which consisted of tasty little purses of thin pasta and nicely flavored meat inside. (Probably the best entree, and gained the second star.) The eggplant was unremarkable in terms of flavor of the sauce, and the veggies that went into it did not seem to be very fresh. For dessert, we had rhubarb peach tart and chocolate bread pudding. The tart was mostly crust and very shy on the rhubarb. The bread pudding apparently used Hershey's chocolate powder which was not a great flavor and left a grainy texture. The server was not very friendly, somewhat pushy, and insisted that we order the dessert when we ordered everything else. Allegedly, this was because the dessert is made to order, but we had the impression that it was to expedite our table time. Even so, with all that "careful planning" only 3 of the 4 entrees made an entry and we waited quite a while for the 4th to show up, even after asking. Overall, not a good experience and not a place I'll plan to revisit.

Our server, Dwight, seemed rushed and inattentive throughout the evening. From the start, we felt like an inconvenience rather than welcomed guests. We asked if we could move to a nearby table that was already set for eight, as our current table was cramped and located in a very tight walkway where people constantly brushed past us. We were told the table was reserved, yet from the time we arrived just before 6:00 PM until we left at 8:45 PM, no one was ever seated there. It was frustrating, especially since the cramped space made our dining experience uncomfortable. Service overall was lacking. Dwight rarely checked on us, and when we tried to get his attention for drinks or assistance, he would quickly pass by before we had the chance to ask. It often felt like we were bothering him. We were not offered water, and getting additional beverages was unnecessarily difficult. The food itself was just okay, nothing memorable. When we ordered dessert and cappuccino, the cappuccino tasted like it was made with spoiled milk, but again, no one came back to check on us, so we had no opportunity to address it. The most disappointing moment was the birthday acknowledgment. We asked for a dessert with a candle to celebrate an 85th birthday, and instead received a plate with "Happy Birthday" written in chocolate, a small amount of whipped cream, and a candle. It was underwhelming and, honestly, a bit embarrassing. We would have gladly paid for a proper dessert. Jacob the busser was the only attentive one there. We have come to Pane e Vino every year for family birthdays because we've always enjoyed the atmosphere, but after this experience, we will not be returning.

One of the bussers was the one who saw it and promptly cleaned it up.

Yes, we could've looked up the menu online, but it would have been nice if the hostess had informed us of that when we were seated. I ordered the Hugo spritz, and my partner ordered the Aperol spritz.

We were given bread and olive oil to start, which tasted fresh. We then ordered the Funghi pizza and the Rotelloni Alla Vodka. The food came out pretty promptly, which, looking back, probably should have been a warning sign. The pizza was actually tasty, with a good wood-fired crust. The pasta, on the other hand, was not the best. The vodka sauce was very sweet and heavy on the cream. We added chicken, which was a pretty pricey addition, and unfortunately, it was quite dry and didn't taste very fresh. Overall, it was not the best experience, and we probably will not be returning.
