New ownership has revitalized this Federal Hill institution.  Gone are the tuxedos and ornate fixtures, yielding to a more welcoming and comfortable atmosphere.  Here you will find the best of  everything you would expect from Italian cuisine.  You will find Old World favorites such as Osso Buco and Braised Rabbit Stew.  Classic dishes like Veal Saltimbocca, Chicken Marsala and Parmigiana which seem absent at so many Federal Hill restaurants can still be found here.  There are dishes with contemporary twists as well, like Lobster and Shrimp Scampi, Sweet Potato Gnocchi,  and a Veal Chop stuffed with Prosciutto, Fontina cheese and Truffle oil.  Finish your meal with one of the wonderful desserts made by our pastry chef.  With 400 wine selections, 35 by the glass, there's not much more one could ask for.

Surprise on The Hill!!!

What a pleasant surprise we found last night on Federal Hill. We hadn't been to the Blue Grotto in years and on a whim decided to try it again and we were blown away. Not your typical Italian cuisine at all, full of little contemporary twists and surprises you may expect from a New York eatery but not here. The chef is extraordinary!!!
Great Food

The food is absolutely incredible. I have been before maybe three years ago, and the food was ok. But now i went recently and its by far the best on the hill. Who ever your chef is don't let them go for anything. Thank-you for an awesome evening.

Truly a gem in Providence. I travel a lot for business and each time I come home to enjoy Federal Hill I know exactly where I am going. The Blue Grotto IS Federal Hill to me. The food never disappoints, the menus are changed each season and always make my mouth water. They must have an angel working as a pastry chef because I've never had better cheesecake (Sorry Mom) And the biggest winner for me is the wine list. There are pages and pages of different wines, I always try something new and the servers are incredibly knowledgable, always there with a good suggestion. If you are looking for true Italian flavors in a relaxed atmosphere look no further.

Great traditional italian food, great wine list and good spacing between tables which is rare these days.

Federal Hill has always been a go to source for a great meal. I hadn't been back to the Blue Grotto in quite sometime, however we just went last week and what a treat! I had a seafood risotto dish that was divine, and my two companions had the Chicken Parmigiana and Swordfish, both of which were very good as well. Valet parking is a plus
