Providence wine bars tend to be the casual second face of the city's established Italian rooms. Bacaro on South Water Street downtown runs a ground-floor enoteca in the Venetian bacaro mold, while the DeQuattro family pours an all-biodynamic list at the Massimo bar on Atwells and a 120-bottle list at Pane e Vino on Federal Hill. Ellie's converts from a French pastry cafe by day into an evening wine and small-plates bar.
Bacaro on South Water is part Venetian bacaro, part full Italian dining room. Cicchetti and salumeria at the downstairs bar; pasta and entree dining upstairs.
OrderA round of cicchetti and a glass of Lugana downstairs; a pasta upstairs.
