This is a special place that belongs on everyone's list on a visit to Providence. The setting is a charming mansion on Broadway with a huge parking lot. The decor is elegant and classy without being “ fussy” The staff are warm,welcoming and knowledgeable providing excellent service. Calamari and meatball appetizers are delicious . The pasta bolognese is memorable and the veal chop was sublime . Many homemade desserts( tiramisu ) top it all off . Goodbye Boston North End Hello Maria Cucina on Broadways Federal Hill in Providence. A plus on setting, service , food and value

Maria's Cucina is absolutely fantastic! The service was warm, attentive, and made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The food was outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Every dish we tried was delicious and beautifully presented. The ambience is just as impressive: cozy, inviting, and full of charm. It's the perfect spot whether you're out for a special occasion or just want a memorable meal in a welcoming setting. I can't recommend Maria's Cucina enough—excellent service, incredible food, and a wonderful atmosphere all around!

Once again, a great dining experience. The food and deserts were excellent and our server Francesca was attentive and accommodating. The decor is wonderful and the large on site, well lit parking lot is a big plus. Will keep returning.

We were absolutely thrilled with Maria's Cucina. From the moment I sent an inquiry online to the end of the party.
Chris, the amazing owner, responded to my inquiry via a phone call. Who does that anymore? From the first time we spoke, he was offering top-notch customer service. He walked us through the menu, the layout of the room, and sent pictures of the setup. Mind you, I live in California now and he worked with me via phone and text. Luckily, one of my brothers was able to help locally.
Chris was always so kind to answer all of our questions. Even a week before the party, we switched one of the appetizers due to one of the guests having a severe shellfish allergy. The staff also checked with us when we arrived to ensure the safety of the said guest.
We weren't able to look at the place ahead of time and when we arrived we were SO pleased to see the beautiful decor, stained glass windows, and gorgeous wooden columns around the staircase.
Everything exceeded our expectations. Chris, the staff - especially Michaela and Francesca (we didn't get the names of others), the food, the setup, the way the space flowed, attention to detail, and so much more.
We are eternally grateful that you all made my Mom's 80th birthday an unforgettable event. She was beyond happy with everything. We would absolutely have another event here. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Another great experience at Maria's Cucina. There were 6 of us in total and all ordered different dishes. Every one of the was a success! Our compliments to the chef!
A bit slow to start. Nice meal but veal minus bone is better. Nice table but a 10 minute wait to be asked about a drink was a bit long. Server was very nice, sweet, knowledgeable . Seat was great. Food very good but the veal bone was not needed Love this place as it is old and beautiful!

We were looking for a venue for a party of 45 guests for a wedding rehearsal dinner and came upon Maria’s Cucina. Chris was quick to answer my questions and gave suggestions for a menu that would fit our needs. His recommendations were spot on! Our guests are still raving about the food( OMG the calamari!). The service we received that night was exceptional which added to a night of food, fun, and memories. Thank you to Chris and the exceptional staff of Maria’s Cucina! Lisa Braz

Witnessed our waitress place our food on a tray in a very busy area of the restaurant and watched it get cold for a solid five minutes. If you don’t get one of the OG waiters, you might be disappointed with the service.

One of the best Italian eating experiences in Rhode Island. Old world architecture, traditional and absolutely delicious food and service, made the evening memorable.
