"What a delightful dinner. The restaurant is beautifully done, the lighting and art work on the walls make for an aesthetically pleasant dining experience. For starters we had the crispy calamari which was perfectly cooked. Lots of flavor. For our entree I had the Bistecca Griglia and my girlfriend had the gnocchi al Forno. Both entrees were absolutely delicious. Cooked perfectly and p packed with flavor. To end the night we shared a tiramisu which was probably one of the best tiramisu I have had. Overall the service, restaurant and food were excellent!!!"

"Really pretty restaurant, but I got really bad experience on the food. And the service was very slow. Appetizers are all small and cold, we were sitting there for over an hour and the pasta we ordered was still not on the table. I don’t know what’s wrong but there were only a few cook in the restaurant and serving a few groups of people. I had the handmade black ribbon pasta and when I finally got it, part of the pasta was hot and part of them was already cold. I did not think that’s a big deal at the beginning, but the pickled sauce was just warm and really strong. It got me to the bathroom immediately and kept sending me to the bathroom until 3 am. I cannot believe what we had for a hundred dollars. This is the first time I visited and will be my last time."

"My wife and I saw this restaurant reviewed by Joe Zito. On this trip to PVD we tried it out. We were very pleased with the personalized service by our server Matthew, and the Chef who visited us at our rable. The food was outstanding in presentation and taste My wife and I recommend without reservation Appia for your next dining experience Bob & Sandy Willhauck Wakefield, RI"

"Nice little romantic place. Great for a date night. Pasta is handmade which gives it a very fresh and authentic taste."

"Our experience at Trattoria Appia in Providence was fantastic, and it was truly because of our server, Gianni. From the moment we were seated, she was warm, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. She checked in at all the right times and made thoughtful recommendations that made the night feel special. Gianni highly recommended the tiramisu, and wow — it was absolutely outstanding. Perfectly balanced, rich without being too heavy, and hands-down one of the best tiramisus I’ve had. I’m so glad we trusted her suggestion because it was the perfect ending to the meal. Service like Gianni’s makes all the difference. She genuinely elevated our entire experience, and because of her, we’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend Trattoria Appia — ask for Gianni!"
