Episode 3 - Into the Heart of Federal Hill, Pt. One, Providence area, Season One

Camille’s Restaurant

November 10, 2018 by admin No Comments

Camille’s is the oldest operating restaurant on Federal Hill, and is absolutely a culinary landmark in the Ocean State. While they have stayed true to their roots and offer some of the best classic Italian-American options on Fed Hill, don’t think for a second that they haven’t been keeping up with the times. Executive Chef Michael Pennachia is forging a stunning new menu that combines authentic, Old World flavor with a modernist twist.

Venda Ravioli

by admin No Comments

Ask anyone where to go on Federal Hill and you’ll get lots of advice, and lots of different opinions on which places are the best. Which is not a surprise considering the neighborhood’s hundred-year plus history as the epicenter of Italian culture in Rhode Island. But almost everyone will agree on one must-visit place: Venda Ravioli. Venda Italian market an deli has been the center of the neighborhood for over seventy-five years, and has recently expanded to include Constantino’s Venda Ristorante and Wine Bar, just across the expansive outdoor courtyard and fountain that draws hundreds of diners each night in the summer months. Venda is obviously famous for their homemade pasta, which comes in every single variety imaginable. But that’s just the beginning: within the market and deli you can find almost every single ingredient you could ever want to make an authentic Italian dish, most of it imported directly from Italy. Take a tour of this iconic spot with owner Alan Constantino, who gives us insight into the Italian way of cooking and food. After head over to Constantino’s Venda, where executive Chef Anthony Chiero prepares a couple of their most famous dishes.
