    Walking up to DePasquale Square, I was a bit disappointed if I'm going to be honest. You can't see…read morethe fountain, or the square itself, walking up to it from the street because there are so many tables in the square for the restaurants that flank it. Well we came here for the scenery so we decided to push on and walk in and sit at the fountain for a little bit. And there it was. We were sitting there, the sounds of people eating and imbibing, Italian music pumped in through speakers and we saw the magic. It really did feel like sitting in a square in Italy and I was down for it. There are so many fun details and things to look at. I can see why they have events here and I wish we were here on a night that had a live band playing.

    When visiting Federal Hill, the Italian section of Providence, you will most likely spend some time…read morearound DePasquale Square. If Garibaldi Park and the Gateway Arch are the welcoming arms of Federal Hill, DePasquale Square is its beating heart. The quatrefoil fountain and the wide plaza are part of the Federal Hill revitalization effort. Back in the day, however, tens of thousands of immigrant families packed into these narrow streets and triple-deckers. The Cappelli Block (a multi-use commercial and residential building) was completed in 1909 by Antonio Cappelli, one of the earliest Italian arrivals on the Hill, when Irish immigrants dominated the avenue. Along these streets, too, were the famous pushcarts, selling every variety of fruit and vegetable. Today, it's a lively plaza that reminds you of a place in sunny Italy...the colors, the al fresco dining, the architecture of the fountain and surrounding buildings, all make this one of the cutest spots in Providence. On weekends, during the summer you will likely see live performers chanting old songs either as solo performers or groups. Also during the summer, many festivals take place around this square, attracting thousands....

    In a sea of endless Italian food on the hill, Andino's can be easily overlooked but not outdone…read more 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 ;)

So I plan to pay with cash now I have to give a random person my credit card information over the phone just because they don't believe that I will show up to pick up my to go order?!? absolutely ridiculous. Such a shame because the food is so good

    Perhaps considered the most iconic mural in the current Downtown portfolio, Gaia's Still Here is a…read moreportrait of a contemporary Narragansett woman named Lynsea Montanari holding a portrait of her tribal elder, Wampanoag and Narangansett leader Princess Red Wing. The location of the 32 Custom House building (and the parking lot that was the former Daniels building) provides a sweeping view of the wall from the Weybosset bridge and river. According to the City Department of Art, Culture & Tourism, "Weybosset Street was a site where three important Indian trails met, one coming down from the north, the second up from the southeast Mount Hope region called the Wampanoag Trail, and the third up from Connecticut in the southwest called the Pequot Trail." Gaia's opening idea for the mural was to consider erasure, considering the landscape that existed before colonial settlement, asking the question of whose history gets recorded and whose doesn't. As he captures in his artist interview (viewable above), through partnership and permission seeking with the Tomaquag Museum, the work evolved into a narrative that captures a living person holding legacy and tradition, advocating for human rights and environmental justice, a people still here across time that continues today. As I volunteer at the Visitor Center, this is one of the public art pieces that most people ask about and it's part of the self guided public arts tour established by the Avenue Concept group.
