This place is great! I was in Providence on business with my boss and was rec Federal Hill and specifically Andinos. The Federal Hill area is a really cool area and the restaurant was very old school in decor. In a good way. I felt like there could have been tables of rat packers here (except the table near us was a bunch of old dudes from like the deep south in blazers who were hitting on the young early 20's waitresses...but hey..who i am to judge them for chasin some tail). the atmosphere was simple and it was a lil cramped, but that all added to it. I went with the Andinos Garlic Bread for appetizer and it was ridiculous. I was actually full from just that and didnt even need my meal. You HAVE to get it. Thick pieces of garlic bread with tomatoes, and pepperoni on them and then drenched in mozzerella. Yeah, I have to say it...it was perfect. For the entree, i went simple and boring, chicken picatta. but the true mark of a great restaurant IMHO is taking normal simple stuff and making it just taste awesome...and they did just that... although, i don't know if this is a pro or a con, but they do use tons of oil and butter and i felt like i couldn't eat for the next two days.. Service was attentive and friendly..I would definitely recommend Andinos if you are in providence. read more

One of my favorite Italian restaurants! I usually get a sangria they have about 15 different fresh options! I switch up what I order but most recently I got pink vodka gnocchi with grilled chicken and a cup of soup to start. Everything came out hot, fast, and delicious! Chicken was very tender and the pink vodka sauce had a sweet taste and it was thick, not all soupy like some places serve it. The place is a bit pricey but to go here and there it's totally worth it! read more

Andino's - Italian Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

While visiting the great state of Rhode Island, I was told to get some Italian food. I'm not the biggest fan of Italian, but when I'm told repeatedly to try something.... I'm going to do it. THE BREAD THE BRING OUT IS SO SOFT AND MAGICAL. I ordered one of the pre fixed lunch specials. The caprese salad was pretty meh, cherry tomatoes and balls of motz in a cup. Having to crunch down on exploding tomatoes isnt really on my list of hobbies. Hold up...the calamari was beyond perfect, thin breading with banana peppers. Whoever owns this recipes, thank you for sharing it with the world. I ordered the clam pasta with red sauce.... another dose of mehhh. read more

First time trying Andino's in Federal Hill. I had the Pasta Fagioli and the Veal Braciole. Amazing. Truly amazing. The Braciole was so tender and flavorful, the mushroom sauce (interesting choice) was a perfect compliment. The server was really good. I'd be happy to have him serve me again. Hey had a friendly disposition and knew the menu inside and out. The only thing holding back 5 Stars was the lack of canoli. Even though our server did tell us where to go for our my late evening canoli fix, I went with the Spumoni and wasn't disappointed. read more

Andino's - Veal Braciole. Yummy! - Italian Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

The experience was great right up until there was a problem, and then the service dropped off the deep end. Mistakes happen, but there is no reason to be a chump over it. Initially, all was well. We were enjoying our appetizers and wine, and the vibe of the restaurant was great. When our entrees arrived, the waiter realized that they had accidentally made a chicken dish instead of a veal dish for one of our party, so he took it back. The rest of us made the uncomfortable decision to start eating so that we could enjoy before it turned cold. I will say that my dish, some cheese ravioli in a cream sauce with sundried tomatoes, was delicious and very filling, which means leftovers because the portion was large. Eventually, the veal dish came, but we all finished at different times because of this. At no point during the dinner did a manager come over to apologize for the mix up or even acknowledge that there had been a problem. The check came with no mention of it. Encouraged by my dinner mates, I privately noted to the waiter that it seemed a little odd that one of us had to wait 15 minutes longer than the rest of us to eat because of the restaurant's mess up. His response was simply, "I don't think it was 15 minutes. I think it was more like 10." Then, after a brief pause, "What can I do about it?" Ok, fine. He eventually came back with the check and made a point to let us know that the dessert we shared was comped, but the attitude was already noted. It was a sad ending to an otherwise good meal. read more

I went for dinner last night after being recommended by a friend and it was one of the best restaurants to date. Our server Tiara was absolutely incredible, very kind, patient, and friendly!! I have never seen such an extensive drink menu and the food was so incredible. Im very excited to know they are working on an outside patio because this will definitely be my go to place all year round for a drink, apps, or a full course meal! Thank you again Tiara you are AMAZING! read more

Love Andino's. Just ordered to go and the when the food got here it's still hot (and always is). Love the gnocchi, husband loves the chicken parm. Also highly recommend the cannolis for desert. Great food read more

Honestly it could just be us but we do not think this place deserves a 4 stars on yelp (as that's the current rating on yelp now). First of all, the server wasn't quite responsive. She came check in with us about three times throughout the dinner but did not notice we had finished our first glass of water since she came by the first time. Regardless the service, the food was below average. We wanted to explore Italian food here in providence which was one of the things they known for (correct me if I am wrong). We ended up finding this place on yelp and think it must be pretty decent since it's 4 stars on yelp with about 400 reviewers. However, it was a total disappointment. My clam pasta came with limited amount of sauce (it was quite tasteless when I got to the end of the plate). Thumbs up for the generous food portion, but let's be real... you can give me a bucket of pasta but if it is tasteless.. it doesn't really mean anything. My boyfriend was the one who got the chicken dish.. can't contribute much comments on that since I only had one bite, but from that one bite.. it tasted like boiled chicken with tomato sauce. Anyways, enough hating. Would I recommend this place to friends & families. Solid No. Hope I have better luck on Italian food next time I visit providence again lol read more

Delicious! All seven of us enjoyed all of our meals and apps. The stuffed blossoms were extra special. Huge portions. No room left for dessert! Eric, our server, was fun and helpful. read more

My husband and I travel a lot for his job and always like to try local places. Andino's was walking distance from our hotel so we decided to give it a try!! And we can't wait to go back!! I give it 5 stars bc nothing was bad. Service was GREAT!! Our waitress was kind, helpful, and not annoying. She came by when needed but didn't linger and made awesome, honest recommendations not just trying to sell the most expensive thing on the menu. They had a special cocktail available (blue raspberry sangria) which was pricy but 100% worth it!! Like a large elegant "fish bowl" in a wineglass :) DELISH!! The garlic olive oil dipping sauce for bread was even unique and amazing!! Caesar salad was on point. And lastly our meals were awesome and large portions!! Yes they are much larger than what you should eat in a sitting but it also makes you feel like you got a deal!! Prices are VERY reasonable and large portions. We didn't mind the tight quarters as we respect "mom and pop" atmosphere. Probably not a place for a large party. But for an intimate date night with respectful wait staff and DELICIOUS food and beverage...Andino's is the place!! read more

AN ABSOLUTELY MUST DO! 4 & 1/2 STARS. ANDINO'S IS AN OLD SCHOOL ITALIAN RESTAURANT SERVING DELICIOUS AUTHENTIC RED SAUCE. Andino's is located in Providence Rhode Island in The Little Italy Section called Federal Hill. There is indoor & outdoor dining as well as to go & delivery too. We parked on a side street a block away for Free Street Parking. We went here for dinner this past summer. I asked our server Carolina who was so Nice & extremely helpful - What's the best thing to order here since we had never been at the restaurant before. She recommended The Chicken Francaise which is Chicken in an Egg Wash, Lemon, Butter, White Wine. It was DELICIOUS! She also recommended the Chicken Parmigiana which is breaded & lightly fried Topped with Mozzarella & Red Sauce. & a Side of Pasta with Red Sauce. It was also DELICIOUS! It's very hard to find Old School Italian Authentic Red Sauce these days; everything is Nuevo. We got 2 WINNERS for DINNER thanks to Carolina! We split the dessert Home Made Cannoli which was Good. Andino's is a great place to stop & get some authentic Italian Food in Federal Hill Providence's Little Italy for lunch & dinner. It used to be, you had to have Mega Bucks & be really rich to have the Good Life, not anymore. The Game has changed. You've been Upgraded. Now You Can Live Like a King on a Limited Budget! read more

It's official Andino's is our favorite Italian restaurant!!! Made it back last Sunday for an early dinner. Even on a Sunday afternoon the place was packed! The dinner was phenomenal as usual!!!.... We even brought home 2 quarts of chicken soup it was that good!!! BTW,......Saturday afternoon before 4 pm.... Lunch prices and tons of really good quality food!!! read more

Great service excellent food... makes me want to come to his area... again and again!

What a Gem. Definitely worth coming out of Covid lockdown for. Very good classic Italian American food, very high-end ingredients. The staff is welcoming, attentive, helpful. We will always make sure to go when Eric is working. He was a delight and took such good care of us. read more

We got garlic bread, lobster ravioli, chicken cacciatore, and cannoli. THE LOBSTER RAVIOLI WAS AMAZING. If you're debating what to get, just get it. Overall all of the food was delicious, but they were absolutely amazing to us even though we were just doing take out! So thoughtful and kind, we are so excited to go back. read more

Went for the Sangria tasting, $10---all you can drink Sangria with a huge variety of yummy fruity flavors. Stood in line for 2 hours to get in, so here is the trick I found out after I got in. 1. Get there by 3pm 2. Find a friend to get there for 3pm, get a table, then whenever you arrive you can go right in, never stand in line 3. Show up at 7:30pm, no one is in line and you still have an hour and a half to drink Upon finally getting a table, the tasting was awesome, more of a huge glasses of sangria vs a tasting. They give you a solo cup and you go up as many times as you like. The kiwi and strawberry sangria was my favorite but there were so many others that were fantastic as well. They do offer a red sangria and one other made with red wine but mainly the white fruity kinds. We got calamari which was good, nothing amazing though so I would try something different next time, was pretty bland. I got the special which was baby shrimp, cheese tortellini, in a pink Alfredo sauce. Huge portion and great flavor. Of course their bread and oil was perfect, bread was the good crispy Italian bread! read more

Enjoyed my first meal here last-night. The employees were all very friendly. Sangrias are delicious here, I believe I had the candy apple one. My option for an entree was the chicken Andino, which did not disappoint. I will make sure to visit again. read more

My favorite restaurant on the hill so far! I ordered the Chicken Marsala and it was delicious. I think I've tried all of their pasta dishes and I've never been disappointed. The staff is nice and the mixed drinks are well made. read more

Walked from the Omni to find this gem. Very friendly, large menu. I sat at the bar and chatted with a very nice lady. Made the experience that much better, she was a regular and very friendly. The food was out fast and fresh! Came back 2 days later and got the special chicken rollantini , added mushrooms as they add change anything you like. Wish I didn't have to go back to NH tomorrow so I could eat here again. Very friendly bartenders, made me feel very welcome so far away from home. read more

Five stars are not enough. How do you know you're dining at a GREAT place? Well it starts with the hostess, Mary, getting you a table for 3 by rearranging the restaurant because the people who had your table have not left. she then comps the first round, and decides she should personally take care of us all evening, from appetizer thru desert. If Olive Garden treats you like family, we are now royalty. This was, hands down, the best food, best service, and best vino I have ever experienced. read more

Loved this place. Starting from the complimentary drive up valet. The place is small which enhances the charm. The host manager is very customer oriented and attentive. Service was excellent. True Italian cuisine. I went off menu for ciopinno and they were more than happy to prepare it. It was awesome. Will definitely return. read more

I need to start by saying our waitress and the rest of the staff were all quite pleasant. Unfortunately nothing else about our visit was even remotely decent. My husband and I were seated at a table that was a "4-seater" split into two "2-seater" tables...we were at the "inner" table sandwiched between the former other half of our table and the wall. By no means was the restaurant packed where this would have been necessary to accommodate the number of guests. Did I mention we were also right next to the bussing station and bathroom? This was easily the worst seating arrangement I've ever been in. Our $6 "garlic bread" was anything but. It was 3.5 slices of burnt bread, one of which had something resembling garlic butter on it. After an incredibly long wait for our food I considered leaving but was far too hungry to find somewhere else to eat. My manicotti was very tough and the sauce was incredibly bland and oddly sweet. Should I find myself in Providence again, I will be going no where near Andino's. read more

I could not have enjoyed my dinner at Andino's on Providence's Federal Hill more. Highlights include the lively, jam-packed dining room; delicious, authentic food; a server who said she loves her job - and it shows; and the warm, friendly, family atmosphere. I loved the eggplant rollantini and swordfish Andino. Reservations strongly recommended. It's a bustling spot best suited to family meals or celebrations - it's not intimate. Andino's stands out in a neighborhood where you can't go wrong selecting a restaurant. read more

Wonderful food a must go every chance I get! It's location is great for site seeing and shopping

Our favorite spot on Federal Hill for lunch or dinner. Authentic home-made Italian dishes served in a great environment with Italian crooners Sinatra,Tony Bennett and others serenading you during your visit. Staff is attentive and friendly. You can't miss if you want the real Federal Hill experience. read more

I had the daily special with the spicy noodles and octopus on top. I was feeling hungover when I entered, but the pasta instantly made me feel better! The staff were also super friendly and had a very welcoming atmosphere. Can't wait to go back! read more

We were in Providence for The Christmas Carol play at the Trinity Rep and like do many others, headed over to Federal Hill for supper. So many choices just like Boston's North End or the resurgence in down town Haverhill. So we stopped in Andinos with their convenient and efficient valet parking. So good, I topped him twice. I have great respect for restaurateurs, their food and the people they hire to serve us. My first impression is this is a jam packed, crowded bar and table area. We had to walk sideways past the bar and staff on their computers and then into the main area where table and chairs are smashed against adjacent tables and chairs. You can't have a better server than Laura who knows everything and is happy to share it. She immediately provided us with clean and extensive menus. If you're into sangria, they are experts. My niece loved hers. Laura was quick to take our orders. She brought a small basket of fresh sliced Italian bread but an uninspired saucer of average Olive oil. I ordered the eggplant parmesan. Now I've had this same dish at other Italian restaurants; chain restaurants and local. Usually thick discernable slices. Andinos serves very thin grey slices covered in a chewy cheese covering I had to strip off. I found the tasty tomato sauce starting to separate. I had a side order of pasta that was excellent. For dessert, I had the spumoni. Spinning should, in my opinion, come with claret sauce. Unless this is a Providence thing, it shouldn't come with a minute drizzle of grenadine. It was just okay. So, atmosphere is colorful and bright, wait staff for us was a standout, valet parking a plus but for food, just okay. I don't get to Providence very often but I think if there are other Italian restaurants in that Street, I'll try them before coming back here. read more

Anthony Jr best bartender. So creative and attentive! My boyfriends 1st time there and we are so impressed by your talents! The food was amazing. The cocktails were perfect. The staff and the customers you acquire are so friendly made such a warming environment. We actually had the best time ever. Thank you again Anthony Jr you made our day! read more

My favorite still. Table wasn't ready because we moved it up 30 minutes so had a cocktail at the bar! Terrific! All four of us loved our meals from chicken parm, chicken saltimbocca, chicken marsala! Fried calamari appetizer. Annie our server, great bread by Jennifer... just awesome night! read more

I'm not sure why it has taken me so long to write a review as I have been here many times. I think that if an Italian restaurant has really good tomato sauce, it is enough to keep coming back. For me, Andino's is that place. When I have a craving for spaghetti and meatballs, this is the first place that comes to mind. Love it. read more

The place to go for fresh pasta!! Make sure you make a reservation in advance cause this place is poppin' until about 9 pm on a Saturday night (learned the hard way). Portions are large and great for sharing. There's a $2.50 charge for splitting, but you get your own individual bowl so it's well worth it!! I'm with a group of 5 and we ordered 3 full size entrees- the Lobster Ravioli, Gnocchi and the Ferdinand Alfredo and still had food leftover. Highly recommended!!! read more

Came here for the first time today. Sat outside and had a nice lunch. The portions are pretty big. I ordered eggplant parm, I ate a bunch and still had enough to take home for another meal.

Absolutely delicious. We went in without a reservation, so we sat in the bar. We were greeted immediately by Theresa and Terri. Theresa recommended the Strawberry Elderflower sangria which was amazing. She also recommended the fried calamari appetizer. It is served with hot peppers in a special sauce. Definitely has a kick to it but it was fried perfectly. For dinner my friend and I both had the Shrimp special. It was shrimp wrapped in prosciutto and mozzarella, over linguini in a scampi sauce. Great food, great service and a fantastic atmosphere. If I'm in Providence again I would definitely go back. read more

I must say Andino's is absolutely what they say it is & MORE, the service is phenomenal (ERIC ESPECIALLY) they food is to die for & the restaurant is literally beautiful, cozy & a perfect dining experience. Word of advice Make a reservation because walk-ins on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday are almost impossible! Everyone wants to go to a great place. Menu is packed with fruity drink options (for the ladies) but of course they have a bar for harder liquor. The ladies and I had strawberry, peach and watermelon sangria, all three options are extremely tasty. Red wine was a popular opinion for our table as well. Making the cocktails all a great option. Food menu is large with multiple options, including gluten free options for anyone with allergies. One appetizer plate is a great size for a party of about six no more, the soup is fresh, with freshly made pasta in the Chicken Noodle. Making Your palette burst into tasteful happiness. We ordered the spicy fried ravioli and the fresh Mozzarella. The Fresh Mozzarella is served over pancetta, with fresh oregano, olive oil, and parsley. Meal plates are large portions, all filled with amazing flavor. Stuffed shrimp taste fresh, & is completely filled with original seafood stuffing. Lasagna is delicious, and they are extremely generous with portion they serve. Eggplant parmigiana is just as you can imagine, cheesy and saucy perfection! Steak cooked to perfection, juicy and tender, Chicken, lightly breaded, so full of flavor. Overall everything on this menu is to DIE for, literally worth the trip read more

Arriving here after the recommendation of our Airbnb host, this charming restaurant on Atwell's Ave made for an intimate night for my wife and I. The bread was fresh, my wife opted for the apple sangria (which was delightful). I opted for Chianti (I think Da Vinci) which was nice, it didn't pair well with the meal but I should have asked for a recommendation. It's not often I order veal, so when opting for the Veal Saltimbocca I was quite satisfied. The saltiness of the prosciutto with the sweetness of the sherry was a nice combination. The veal was very tender and exquisite. A generous helping that was satiating and satisfactory. My wife being the picky eater ordered chicken parm with Alfredo sauce, came out with linguine on the side with Alfredo and from the chicken with marinara. Our server was very attentive, someone else brought out the food and when she saw it was the wrong order she brought the food back and corrected it with the chef. My wife does not complain, and I don't care too much to complain (I'll eat almost anything) so I won't complain either. I was very appreciative of our server being observant and proactive. My wife enjoyed her meal. This place rocks and we had a wicked nice night. Highly recommend. read more

I was w excited to try the food after all the nice reviews on yelp... I'm in town overnight with wife and three kids. I picked up several meals to take back to the hotel and enjoy with the family. The young lady who put together my order was excellent and very helpful/friendly. Excited to take the food home and share with the family. We were all so very disappointed in the food.....it was tasteless and I felt sorry for the $80.00 I spent on the meal. We choked down a few bites to fill our stomachs before going to bed but 75% of everything went in the trash. Did I mention the food was very disappointing?....zero seasoning, very bland, blah blah blah. read more

Great place for a traditional Italian lunch! The restaurant is in a great location on Atwells Ave and nicely decorated inside. I stopped by for a late lunch and got the linguini and clams in white wine sauce - it was TONS of food for only $11. There were lots of clams, which were a bit chewy but otherwise good. Could have used some extra salt as well (had to add lots of salt and parmesan cheese). I also liked the bread and seasoned olive oil it came with. Would definitely come back to try out some of their dinner appetizers and entrees! read more

Sometime at night on federal hill, we found this restaurant.First feel from outside is a small tucked restaurant but amazed by its reviews. We stepped in with no reservations and luckily got a table for us in outside patio. What a lovely atmosphere!!! Beautifully arranged patio with candles and our waitress Alicia is awesome. Very prompt and timely. We ordered some red wine and white Martini. Along with some chicken marsala and chicken zhingerela .I ate many Italian and found the marsala sauce is more watery rather it should be saucy. So I rate them 4 for now. But if u r couple and finding some date place,i strongly recommend this place. read more
