More information on L'Epicureo (Hotel Providence)

Long the odds-on top Italian restaurant on Federal Hill, this stalwart is still working its magic as the in-house dining room of the new downtown luxury Hotel Providence. Enter the spacious piano bar and continue into a main room that is just short of cavernous, with slate floors and crystal chandeliers. But it doesn't end there: Diners can also sit at tables out on the edge of a small park. The experience begins with a menu blessedly free of cutes and hyperbole. At lunch, there are superior panini and individualized pizzas, but the star is the antipasti salad. That platter comes with zucchini-corn fritters, pickled beets, artichoke hearts, roasted peppers, and a zesty chickpea spread on grilled bread. It's available at dinner, too, but with loads of competition, from lobster fritters to braised snails with porcini mushrooms to chilled capellini with clams and caviar. A meal of appetizers is a distinct option, but the entrees beckon -- staples like osso buco, chicken Milanese, and very slowly braised pork belly, all done to near-perfect turn. Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
