Cuisine: Northern Italian
"For many years, Providence’s most exhilarating culinary experience was on Federal Hill, where you could slurp spaghetti next to members of the Cosa Nostra. Then, in 1980, Johanne Killeen and George Germon opened Al Forno near the waterfront, launching a new era of ambitious cooking with their wood-fired Northern Italian cuisine."
