All six people in our party ordered pasta. All of the pasta was substantially undercooked. The server was nice but the service itself was slow. We are not planning on going back.

I was excited to try the newly improved Trattoria Appia, formerly Tarttoria Zooma, and my experience was delightful. I must commend D. for the excellent service. Overall, the food was average. We ordered crispy calamari, but it was quite bland, needing more seasoning and was a bit oily. The roasted beet with burrata was good but also lacked seasoning. My sister enjoyed her Caesar salad. For the main course, I chose the Fungi al Garganelli, which was supposed to include mushrooms, but they were unavailable, which was disappointing. I then ordered the Sacchetti, pasta shaped like a small purse or tortellini, but it lacked flavor and lobster. Conversely, the half chicken leg was delicious. For dessert, we had the chocolate mousse torta, which was very tasty. Me emocionó probar la recién mejorada Trattoria Appia, antes Tarttoria Zooma, y mi experiencia fue encantadora. Debo felicitar a D. por el excelente servicio. En general, la comida fue promedio. Pedimos calamares crujientes, pero estaban bastante insípidos, necesitaban más sazón y estaban un poco grasosos. La remolacha asada con burrata estuvo buena, pero también le faltó sazón. A mi hermana le gustó su ensalada César. Para el plato principal, elegí los Fungi al Garganelli, que supuestamente incluían hongos, pero no estaban disponibles, lo cual fue decepcionante. Luego pedí los Sacchetti, pasta en forma de bolsita o tortellini, pero les faltaba sabor y langosta. Por otro lado, la pierna de pollo asada estuvo deliciosa. De postre, tuvimos la torta de mousse de chocolate, que estuvo muy sabrosa.

One of the nicest dining experiences I and my friends have had. The staff was very attentive, kind and very knowledgeable of the menu. The atmosphere was very lovely, whether you're looking for a casual evening or a semi formal dining experience, they offer both. I ordered the Mista Salad, a Margarita Pizza and Chicken Parmigiana for my meal. I savored every bite of each of my choices, made to perfection. One of my friends ordered the Prosciutti with crostini and a fig compote, one of the many hits of the night. With such a large selection of different wines, the waiter was kind enough to tell us what he thought would pair well with our meals. He nailed the selections. Needless to say Trattoria Appia has it all, great food and wine, great ambiance and a stellar wait staff. For a delightful experience I highly recommend, you won't be disappointed.

Pasta and clam sauce was excellent. Took too long to get the entrae. Service was a bit off didn't follow up on a few asks.
Beth
Everything was amazing, from the food quality to service and everything in between. I will definitely be back!
Marnie
We all got very sick after eating our meals. Waitress was terrible . We will never go back

We had a chance to visit after several years of not having been back here. The new menu was delicious and the staff was attentive and friendly. The gluten free penne was delicious, according to my wife. Highly recommend.

Too many mixups in service. We did not get the meal we reserved (3 course LUNCH). Meal ended up costing much more. Food was good but the management seems very very poor.

The restaurant is welcoming, service, exemplary, food, delicious, good portion, size, and overall enjoyable experience from beginning to end!
I wanted to love it. Went for thanksgiving. The portions were absolutely tiny. Like kids sizes. Turkey was dry , a tbsp at most of cranberry and a tiny portion of potato's. Stuffing was good though. Green beans burnt and not edible. Son got chicken parm. Dry. We were charged for a meal we didn't order and left hungry. I truly thought it was a mistake I'm Portions but as I looked at fellow disappointed diners I saw that wasn't the case. The Musiic was also bizarre. Almost like techno type. We will not retun

Atmosphere was great. Got seated took about 25 minutes to get drinks, then almost an hour to get appetizers that ended up being cold. Then our entrees took another 25/30 minutes after receiving the appetizers. Food was good but for the price dishes are very small. Could get better food, and more food for the same price at Marchettis. Waiter did comp out apps because they were cold and took forever so that was a plus.

My daughter and I had an unforgettable dinner at Trattoria Appia in Providence. The service and food were off the charts! Our server Gianni was friendly, helpful, and guided us to the best choices.
We both ordered the homemade Gnocchi Alla Nonna, which was perfectly tender and full of flavor. For dessert, the Tiramisu was heavenly — light, creamy, and the perfect finish.
Between the authentic Italian dishes, welcoming atmosphere, and outstanding service, Trattoria Appia truly stands out. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience in Providence!

Such a lovely space and extraordinarily gracious service! It was a pleasure to dine there, and especially grateful for a business lunch location open on a Monday on the Hill. Lunch for two was more expensive than anticipated - guess that fresh pasta upgrade was pricey!

We had a reservation for 7. We were seated at 7:30. Our order was taken at 8 and the food arrived at 8:40. It was bland and watery. The saltimbocca alla romana had a breaded cutlet, like a milanese. Rome and Milan on the same plate. Who runs this place?
