6 wine bar rooms in Providence we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Providence | Wine Bar across every city.
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.
