So I went here for the first time last night. A Saturday night and made reservations for 5:30, arrived early and was seated right away. We were waited on by Allen who was very nice and engaging. What I really enjoyed about this restaurant is that most of the workers there would acknowledge you while walking by and it made it seem like a very respectful environment. I had the lasagna and it was one of the best I've ever tried. I would definitely recommend this place for it has a very relaxing and classy style with very good food, you most certainly get what you for!

Being a nice summer day, we asked for a table on the patio. It was very nice, cozy, ample. Our waiter Stephen was knowledgeable, friendly, courteous and polite. The meal was good, I had the rack of lamb special with crab cake and it was nice, but not the best I've had. My BF got the pasta bolognese and it was good but not great. Our friends got seafood dishes and they loved them.... I guess seafood is the way to go here. The service at Camille's is very attentive and non-intrusive. The food is good and the ambiance, very nice. A good choice on the Hill.

My son and I came here because it was close to where we needed to be later. What a wonderful surprise. The staff is dressed formally. By the use of heavy drapes strategically located, the only sound is the next table. The service is what the robber barons used to enjoy . The waiter and the associates were alert and always there. And to top it all off, the food was great, of surprising quantity, and reasonably priced. But the ambiance and service were right out of a black and white movie from the old days when restaurants had real class.

It's been a week since I dined at Camille's for the first time with my family and have been thinking about the experience ever since. It was one of the best dining experiences I've had in Providence! We had David as our server. I cannot express enough how wonderful he was! He was attentive, kept up with table maintenance, and described each special (there were a few!) in a way where I could understand what was happening on the plate without seeing it-- they all sounded spectacular! (Just as a side note, I'm a server myself, and we all know how picky we can be when it comes to the service when dining out other places, but there was not a single, tiny thing I could point to that I would have changed.) The majority of the people in our party started off with margaritas. They were delicious, a good size, and quite strong! However, I did take a peek at the wine list and it was quite varied and full of delicious Italian wines. We all split a couple of appetizers to start as well; they were rice balls and they were delicious and just enough before the meal. When everybody's meals came I was blown away by some of the presentations! My boyfriend got the salmon served over mashed potatoes, a simple concept, but it was plated beautifully! My mother had one of the specials. It was a fish entree (swordfish?) over a squid ink risotto that was to die for! I went traditional and just did the chicken parmesan, and even that was crisped to perfection. Wish we had saved enough room for dessert because I'm sure those would have been absolutely delectable.. next time I guess!

Unbelievably Amazing! I still can't believe that we found this place by luck! I was looking for a fine dining restaurant for my getaway Saturday dinner, and I found this restaurant available on Open Table. I didn't really have time to read the reviews and just felt like to give it a try. With that said, we arrived at 8:30pm on Saturday night; valet parking made it easier for us to arrive on time. We made a reservation, but still needed to wait for about 15 minutes because there were people waiting to be seated before us. The host acknowledged the fact that we were waiting and gave us complimentary drinks. The experience was just beyond what I can describe. Their service was so great, and you can tell when the servers all greet the regulars by name and give them a kiss on the cheek, I feel like they care a lot for the customers. I ordered the Seared Scallops over Prosciutto, and my bf ordered the Groupers that was one of the specials of the night. We cannot possibly ask for a better dinner. Sea scallops and groupers were cooked perfectly; both were fresh and flavored, but didn't overwhelm the natural taste. The sauce was a complement to the seafood. Bf was not a big fish person, and I was kinda worried that the grouper would come with bones, but it was a fillet that he actually enjoyed a lot. We had a great evening. It was a great place to have a romantic date because they surely made our night better than we expected. Bf actually suggested to come back here once a year to make it an annual thing. We were struggling whether to dress up or not for this restaurant, and turns out it was the right choice to dress at least business casual.

I came here for restaurant week with my sister. The food was delicious and the space felt very upscale and elegant. Service was top-notch as I had expected. I had the arancini to start, bolognese as my main and tiramisu as my dessert. Everything was excellent. I did get a bit of sticket shock looking at the regular prices on the menu -- a 3 course dinner with wine might run you about $70 pp, much pricier than other places on Federal Hill. For that reason, I am rating it 3 stars -- I loved the experience but it's too pricey for me to go often. If someone else is paying or you have an expense account, do it!

My favorite place for an expensive dinner in Providence. What I love so much about Camille's is that its extremely high quality traditional Italian food, rather than fancy 'precious' re-interpretations (the latter being more like Al Forno). At Camilles, its just the classics, but so so tasty. The chicken marsala in particular is EXCELLENT, as are the pasta dishes (especially the one with eggplant and mozarella, I think its called Rustico).

A friend took us to Camille's this past Saturday...here are my thoughts: Service: Service here is impeccable. The host was unbelievably nice, our server was also on top of everything, at all times. Ambiance: I can't comment on the main dining room but the private room was great for our party of 6. Food: Quantities are insane...they serve so much food! And here is where I think Camille's could stand to do a bit better. -- Crab cakes - just okay. I didn't understand why they were served on black beans, which were very bland and seemed to be an afterthought. -- Pasta with eggplant - this was a hit with both people who ordered it. The sauce was just delicious, I could have eaten it with a spoon. -- Pork chops - I didn't try this but the recipient was happy with it. -- Risotto - I didn't try this either but again the recipient raved about it. Prices: Not a cheap place but sometimes great service is worth paying for. Overall: I would have no problem returning to Camille's on my next visit to Providence. I highly recommend it.

When I visited the East Coast last year, I was planning out our girls night and wanted a nice fancy restaurant for us girls to enjoy and to treat ourselves. I made reservations at Camille's Restaurant which went smoothly and easily. When we arrived to the restaurant they promptly seated us at our table. I have to say that I really enjoyed our server who gave us lots of tips on which meal or specials we should get. He took the time to explain the ingredients in each dish. I ended up ordering the citrus chilean sea bass (I am a big sea bass fan!) with lobster mash potatoes and sauteed rabe. In my opinion I thought it was good, but it could of been better such as adding more flavor to it. And I absolutely love the decor of this restaurant! Very very elegant! Once we were leaving the restaurant, we needed directions to head over to our next destination and we asked the valet guy/doorman who was very patient and considerate about us. He made sure to give us directions for us to walk a long the busy street that has full light (got to be safe!). Must give this place a try if you go to Providence, Rhode Island!

We were having a group outing with co-workers from Chicago and I had heard such good thing about Camille's. I live within walking distance and decided to head to the place a bit early for a cocktail or two before everyone arrived. Upon arrival there was a gentleman sitting at the bar that obviously eats/drinks there on a very regular basis. After a few minutes of checking my email and sipping on my first beer the bartender (Jeanine..if memory serves) came over and started chatting me up. She was very helpful telling me about the dishes on the menu that she would recommend. As the rest of my group showed up she was very quick with the drink orders and knew when to engage and when to leave us alone. Great bartender!! We were seated at a huge table right at the entrance as we had a group of 10 people. The waiter (who slightly resembled Rob Wriggle) came over immediately and took our drink and appetizer order. We ordered the Arrancini (which was ok) and a couple of orders or calamari (which was FANTASTIC)! I almost ordered the seafood casserole but changed my mind in the 11th hour to the scallops. The scallops were good, but I really wished I would've ordered the casserole (as one of my co-workes did). After desert (which was nothing special) it did take a few minutes to get the check. The overall experience at Camille's was very good! The best thing I had was the calamari and would definitely go back!

wow, Camille's was a HUGE winner! We ate in the lounge, attentive server, good cocktails, amazing bread and caesar salad to start. We split their signature lobster casserole and the veal marsala. Calling that dish lobster casserole does not do it any justice! It is a beautiful seafood medley of lobster, crab, scallops, salmon and who knows what other delicious fresh fish in a delicate light butter, wine just perfect sauce...SO GOOD! And the veal marsala was incredible as well...beautifully prepared, fork-tender veal, fresh mushrooms, and the marsala sauce was spot on! Also tasted the pork chops, soaked in soy for a week, very tasty...on Federal Hill, Camille's is THE Italian restaurant in the Italian restaurant area of Providence!

Not sure where to start.. The leopard carpet is definitely interesting to look at, along with the huge red velvety drapes in the middle of the restaurant. Very "heavy" atmosphere, not relaxing at all. Dark colors, not enough lighting etc. (this of course is only my take on it!) Now, the food. I went with a group of 5 and we each ordered different things ranging from risotto, to lasagna to fish dishes and their duck/chicken dish. Overpriced is the answer for all! On Federal Hill, Sienna is a much better choice in terms of food. The waiter was amazing, very knowledgeable of the menu, friendly, polite. So, your call! If you want overpriced chicken come here!

Went here for a late lunch today, I am so glad we stopped here, from start to Finish it was fantastic! We both had martinis and each was filled to the brim And we got the ice (super classy), we had the calamari and it was so full and plentiful that could've been a meal! My friend had the veal, I had the fish, both were fantastic. We asked our server Tom where they got the beautiful stained glass decor, he then sent over the general manager who had a fun time talking with my friend who is in her 90s and has been coming to Camille's since the beginning of time. The GM made our afternoon and made us feel ridiculously awesome, and Tom was a sweet young man, loved it here!

The food is solid, I don't think it's out of this world like some people claim that decor is very drab and outdated. It looks like my grandparents' living room. A lot of drapes and fabrics dim lighting very friendly and attentive staff, but personally I prefer to be left alone with my friends when I'm dining. The waiter kept coming every few minutes to make sure that everything was okay. just not my style really big portions, which I appreciated they have several specials, in case you get bored with the menu terrible parking situation, like all the restaurants on Federal Hill. So you basically have to valet the car, which they offer

Amazing, amazing, amazing. I did not get to go here as much as I wish I had. I did have two office events here and I was VERY pleased. This place is what every restaurant should strive to be. Perfect food, perfect servers, perfect atmosphere.

The bar experience here is great. Overall the food was mediocre for the price. We got the gnocchi and risotto. Both were disappointing in comparison to the other dining experiences so far in Providence.

This is one of my favorite places to go in Providence. Although I miss the old style prohibition era alcoves, the service and food quality has stayed consistently excellent throughout the years. I particularly like that fact that this is one of the few places on Federal hill where you can listen to a live band in the lounge on certain nights. the place is impeccably clean, the people are friendly and it has never let me down yet!

"An Absolutely Wonderful Experience!" We were visiting Providence and after an event - found ourselves walking into Camille's at 7:30 on a Friday night - asking for a table for 3. The manager was so charming and delightful - and though it was obvious they had a busy night - with pleasure on his face - he had us seated immediately and at a great table. The food was fabulous. The service was wonderful and relaxed. We (three) were able to talk and relax after a long day of meetings and 'receptions' - and enjoy a wonderful restaurant. The food was really wonderful - each of us ordered something different - and all three meals were wonderful. I opted for fish and a risotto, my husband, veal, and our friend went with pasta as his entree. This was the kind of place - where you knew with the first bite of your salad that you were about to have a seriously wonderful meal - and thanks to a terrific waiter - all were served perfectly - and with perfect timing. The wine is also worthy of note - - outstanding wine selections - and we were able to perfectly pair - despite our various dinner choices, thanks to excellent help. We have spoken of our evening there as a highlight of our trip - and our friend is occasionally in the general Providence area - and noted he would be bringing family and friends to Carmille's in the future - even if a drive was involved. Thank you to everyone at Camilles for, despite our showing up 'unannounced' and without a reservation - giving us an evening to remember. And BTW - on our way out - we passed the bar - where the music and dancing was soo tempting - we found ourselves grinning and moving to it as we waited for our cab.

Great place to dine for a date or any occasion. Our waiter, Darrel is one of the best around. I request to have him every time we go. The staff is great. The food is delish and the bar is always packed so it makes for a nice well rounded night out. Peaceful meal and fun at the bar with some live music. Portions are great and fit the price point

The high: outdoor patio is quiet and secluded. Service was attentive. (Would not have wanted to dine inside where it was very dark.) The low: We tried to order a $36 bottle of wine and somehow ended up with a $55 bottle. And beware the prices of the specials which the waiter does not quote! We ordered two, and they were more expensive than most of what's on the menu--one of them was $45 and it wasn't even good: white salmon with a flood of goopy yellow gravy. It looked like a turkey TV dinner. We were in Providence for 3 days and this was the only place we weren't thrilled with our dining experience--and it was by far the most expensive.

Best meatballs ever..... and amazing service. Several people recommended Camille's when I was in Providence. I scoped out all of Federal Hill (the main drag of it, anyway) and didn't see anything that looked better. I'm glad I held out for Camille's. The service was fantastic. I was by myself, so I asked the maitre d' if I could get a table or sit at the bar (seeing as it was fancy and I wasn't dressed up much). He said I could sit where I preferred, making it clear it was my choice. Loved that. Then the bartender (Frankie?) was fast & friendly, and the meatballs were the biggest I've seen and best I've had. The angel hair pasta was perfect. I got what seemed like a ful serving of bread with all the fixins (fresh oil, pepper & parmesean) even though it was just me. Really great experience, great food, and fun folks there to talk with and listen to (one couple had driven from Connecticut for the evening just to eat there). Not cheap, but well worth it.

The food is great the portions are BIG but i feel like theres not much to choose from.. I got the rigatoni a la norma and it was not what I expected... None of my friends really liked what they gor which disappointed me But it was OK and I definitely want to come back and give it anotjer try. BTW their Sangrias are to die for!

Hospitality and service rule at Camilles. The floor is in constant motion of service. The crab cake appetizer was fantastic. Risotto Primavera was a huge portion and delicious and the ricotta cheese cake was exceptional. When I went to leave, the maitre d' said you aren't walking are you?. I said no I was hoping to get a taxi. He said oh no we will take you in one of our cars. I said wow you have a car service? He said yes, my car and he drove me back to my hotel! Wow! My only reason for not giving this 5 stars was there were no women on the floor. I told him, he acknowledged it and said he knew it was not with the times but it wasn't his decision. I said it is almost 2015 and I hope that the next time I come to town it will be different. He said he did too!

First off, this is a great old establishment, and most certainly a staple of Federal Hill. The atmosphere is what one would expect, and service was prompt and polite. Though I can only speak to one meal, I found the food okay. Most of the food presented at our table looked fabulous, but what I found, aside from my gnocchi, was that the food was fairly bland. The arancini wasn't as firm as I like it, and had little taste, and the meatballs were extremely disappointing - something seemed to be amiss with them. The experience was solid, and it is most certainly a place one must venture to if visiting Providence, but quite frankly, you can get much better Italian food at d.carlo Trattoria in Smithfield.

Took my partner here for their birthday because I wanted them to have a special meal to celebrate, and Camille's did not disappoint! We're young, and we're not used to this kind of fancy atmosphere, and it blew us away. First off, there are literally four kinda of water to choose from. I didn't even know there was that many kinds of water! Then we decided to split the Caprese salad. The waiter came over with the salad, showed it to us, and asked if we would like if he split it for us. He then took it away, and came back with two beautiful displays of the salad for us. I've had a lot of Caprese salad, including once in Italy, and this one really stands out. My partner asked if I had tried the onion, which were "so flavorful". For our entrees, I got the rigatoni Alla Norma, which was incredible. Really delicious pasta, sauce, veggies. My partner got the gnocchi Alla vodka and I gotta say, I was a little jealous. I think that meal was better than mine. But mine was delicious too! Lastly, we got the crepes for dessert. They were Nutella crepes with bananas foster on top. Crazy sweet, but that was great for us! And so so delicious. Highly recommend, great way to end the meal. The atmosphere was really nice, very comfortable and fancy. The wait staff was very kind as well. My complaint would be that the tables for 2 are a little crowded together. We were sat next to another couple and that made it a little uncomfortable for us to speak loudly. Also we could hear everything they were saying. But aside from that, everything was perfect! And expensive! Won't be coming back here soon but when I win the lottery you should expect to see me here every day!

There is nothing bad about this place at all. The staff couldn't be friendlier and more accommodating. The food is well above a 5 star award. We had London as a server. He not only was professional he made sure we had the best experience possible. I would recommend this place before any event. Seems to fill up earlier during Saturdays but Friday seems to be the best to easily get a table. I would recommend calling ahead regardless. Absolute gem in the heart of the hill.

I'm a bit embarassed to admit that my last visit was plagued by a stomach virus that made food consumption nearly impossible. Why we didn't just reschedule our date night I'll never know, but I was adament that we were going to make it through our anniversary dinner if it was the last thing I did. Maybe the alcohol order wasn't ideal to place, but who can resist such an extensive drink menu? Maybe it was the leopard carpet that had me feeling all exotic, but I ordered something new and proceeded to snack on their delicious bread. The calamari? Bomb-diggity. I love me some calamari (order it from EVERY SINGLE RESTAURANT MENU I CAN FIND IT ON) and ate half the plate on my own. Second mistake. By the time our main entrees came (two filet mignons, cooked to perfection thank you very much) I was nearly bent over double from the pain. What exactly was wrong with me I still haven't realized, but I was cursing the Gods for ruining my visit to Camille's with the passion of a hundred burning suns. We promptly had our orders wrapped up by a very accommodating server, who brought over the manager to ensure that our visit met our expectations. This is where I really felt bad, because YES your establishment makes me feel alive and like I can eat forever, curses to this horrible plight for ruining the otherwise fabulous experience. I'm slightly ashamed to admit that I cried on the way home, partially because we had to leave, but more because I had to leave the potential for dessert behind. Well, we took our steaks home and ate them in bed the next day. And you know what? They were still delicious. If that isn't an ode to this place and their fantastic food, then I don't know what is!

Very disappointing. This establishment received 4+ stars thus we were excited about going. The atmosphere is nice, the service was great, but much like other reviews the food is over priced and over rated. We started with arancini. It was dry and dense. For the main entree one of us had chicken Parmesan and two special groupers. The chicken parm was eh, chicken was cooked perfectly but the sauce was dense and sweet. The accompanying side of "house made" rigatoni was under cooked, cold and the sauce was different from the parm. The grouper, although presented beautifully was lack luster. It was extremely fishy and bland, the side shrimp was as tasteful as frozen shrimp cocktail. The manager was attentive to our dissatisfaction and offered us dessert and a gift card, but we weren't looking for freebies but rather a delicious meal. Hopefully it was just an off night....

Best service on the hill. This is where you want to plan a 2 hour romantic or business meal at. Wait staff, valet, and managers know five star service. My knock is the prices keep us from going there more often. Other restaurants next door have comparable food for 50% the cost.

The service was very good. Mike the maitre de and our waiter Joe were very friendly and made sure we had an enjoyable meal. The portions are large. The pasta fagolie is AMAZING! While there is not a children's menu they can make chicken fingers and pasta for kids. The only thing disappointing was we did not get to try dessert. Hopefully next time.

The restaurant was beautiful, the service and food were outstanding. Loved the "extras"-complimentary valet and coat check. Had a reservation at 6 on Saturday night w a friend. We were greeted warmly and sat right away. David was our waiter and service was excellent. We each had a glass of wine and opted to skip an app and go right into our meals. My only gripe-for an upscale restaurant, they should have a better bread basket. A few cold slices of unimpressive bread w a bottle of olive oil. I didn't even bother with it. For my meal, I ordered the rigatoni alla Norma (rigatoni in red sauce w roasted eggplant and caramelized onions), I also added a meatball. The meatball was huge and 1 of the best meatballs I've ever had. The rigatoni was great, cooked perfectly al dente. My friend ordered the filet, cooked med-well, but she thought that it was slightly over cooked. We split the chocolate decadence for dessert (flourless chocolate cake in a pool of blood orange sauce?)The cake was delicious, but I was not a fan of the orange sauce it was in. To recap, it was a nice dining experience, and you get what you pay for. Total bill was $105 w/o tip for all of the above mentioned.

Camille's is restaurant dining raised to the level of performance. It is brilliant not just for the exquisite food but for the totality of the experience. From the moment you step in the door and are warmly greeted by Mike the Maitre' D you will feel like a cherished guest. Should you find yourself in Providence do not pass on the opportunity to indulge in this cherished landmark. 100 years of tradition reflected in every moment.

The food is top notch and the prices are very good. Sometimes the table service can be extremely slow during lunch. Kitchen wait times are fine but I've had to leave our table to find our server on more than 1 occasion. Otherwise, this would be 5 stars. Calamari appetizer is excellent.

Kim R.

Went to Camille's last night to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Loved it! Food was phenomenal, traditional Italian food that was not disguised by garlic. Portions were huge and presentation was beautiful. Our waiter was so professional (told us he had been there for 10 years), pleasant and attentive. Our courses were served slowly, allowing us to spend time savor both the food and the evening. Not rushed at all. I loved the old school ambiance (even had a coat room!), it just made me smile to listen to so many Italian people talking, laughing and joking. You know it's good when the customers were clearly local and Italian. Made me nostalgic for Boston's old North End (before yuppification). Can't wait to come back!

Came here the other night from out of town with my boyfriend's in town relatives. It was my second time here (boyfriend's family insists we come here every time we are in town). Service was amazing from beginning to end and the food was absolutely delicious. I had the house special barramundi and my boyfriend had the veal chop. Both were cooked well and perfectly seasoned. We also had the calamari, burrata and fried something balls. The pastas looked delicious too. Portions for everything including appetizers were huge. I enjoyed everything. Wine list was pretty awesome too. All in all, we had a great time and the waitstaff made us feel pretty welcomed and special.

Had dinner at Camille's with 8 people for my mothers 60th birthday. Figured we would be guaranteed a good dinner. So sorry we went here. Very disappointed. The calamari was the worst any of us had ever had. The batter was soft and soaking in olive oil. What really was disappointing was all 8 dinner entrees were served cold!! We didn't tell the waiter at the time because we didn't want to make anyone feel uncomfortable. Plus what could they do... Send all 8 entrees back? Then we wouldn't have had dinner until 10:30 or later. I told managers after dinner and I called to follow up with them. They never called me back. I called again and they said sorry i should have addressed it when the food was served. Just wish this dinner was perfect for my moms special day. Won't go back. Cold food is just unacceptable.

My husband and I celebrated our birthdays with a lovely evening at Camille's last night. It was, as usual, a wonderful dining exerpience. The staff were extremely attentive, professional, and friendly. Our waiter heard me wish my husband happy birthday and following our delicious dinner surprised us with a lovely and delicious piece of cake for desert!! Camille's has truely mastered the art of fine dining. Always an excellent experience!!!!

This place does a really fantastic fine dining experience in terms of quality and presentation of the meals, but I'd be remiss to not mention my experience here was equally memorable due to the staff. I went here last fall with a large group of my drunk, loud friends and our waiter, David, had our whole group impressed. I'll put it this way - I had a great meal at Papagayo last night and I couldn't tell you my waiter's name, but my friends and I STILL measure waiters against David and reference him by name. The dude - without us asking - brought out plates and split our apps and desserts into portions so we could all share, which got big points from us. You know how most waiters go over the specials like they're just trying to remember the script and you just let them go through the routine? David told us every detail from where and when the local salmon was harvested to which garden the chef got the organic veggies from. We were dare I say captivated to hear more! Oh yeah, the food - wow. I won't get specific, just be prepared to spend fine dining money and have an amazing meal. Really classy atmosphere and feel, hopefully you get David!

If you want real deal Italian food, come here. Their calamari alone is worth the trip, as is their shrimp wrapped in prosciutto (scampi alla satiago). Staples like chicken parm are done to perfection and portions are large. Prices are very reasonable for the quality. Service was outstanding.

I have never been so pleased with a meal as I was tonight. Camille's delivered the most well timed and coordinated service I've seen in an establishment. We indulged in calamari for our appetizer. (perfectly cooked; tender and lightly breaded.) Alan, our waiter suggested a white Italian wine from B Lange that accented our seafood dishes magnificently. After informing us of the specials, Alan suggested a rare tuna steak crusted with sesame and almonds. Along side was a wonderful coconut lime rizzoto topped off with "fried" shrimp that left us speechless. My boyfriend ordered a frutti de mare over a linguini with a spiced red sauce specially made by the chef. All of the shellfish was cooked to perfection and the scallops cut like butter. For dessert, we were again suggested a plate to share. Deconstructed cheesecake. The fresh raspberry purÃ©e complimented the cream cheese and light crumb perfectly. I would recommend Camille's to anyone planning for a special occasion or looking for an amazing dining experience.

We had high expectations when we went to Camille's during Providence Restaurant Week. We should have known something was off when it was almost empty! First the good news, the restaurant had our reservation and was able to seat us outside. That's it! As for the rest of it, the table was covered with a film of pollen and had a gritty feel. The drink service was slow. After the waiter reviewed the numerous specials he disappeared for EVER! Once we ordered and the first course was served it was an very long wait for the second course to arrive. The food was "OK." We had two orders of the sole, one pork chop and one veal parm. Stick with the veal parm, it was by far the best ... as it should be for $30!!!! Between dinner and dessert it started to rain. We went inside and found a table in the bar area. When our dessert was brought out we weren't given fresh napkins, although we had left ours outside, we weren't given any water until we asked and we were never offered coffee. For a $250+ tab I expected a first class experience; we didn't get it.

This place was recommended by the concierge, and it was good. Friendly, knowledgable service from real Italians. Sophisticatedly dark atmosphere. Marble dining tables. Good food. Good drinks and dancing. We were 10 strong. Reservations honored. Sat at a lovely table which made us want to stretch and relax--formally. Wines ordered with complimentary calamari (hotel coupon). I don't eat rubbery stuff, but their calamari was top notch! Tasted more like onion rings. We also shared oysters, crab cakes, artichichokes, and bread. I had to ask for olive oil and vinegar, and noted the wane taste of the oil, but overall, we enjoyed the first course. We ordered salads over soups. All were delicious! Ceasar, arugula, apple, candied bacon walnut...I can't remember all we had, but everyone enjoyed their salads. The entrees are a bit much to remember: steak, fish, pasta, chicken--it ran the gamut. I think the only person who didn't enjoy their meal was me. : (. I had the rib eye and it just wasn't flavorful. No one should have to salt down a perfectly rared piece of beef. Oh well, I left it on my plate, sated with the first two courses. Seems like everyone else enjoyed their meals. They came out looking like works of art. Wish I could have had dessert. The lounge opens at night with a live band. Nice atmosphere. Overall, glad to have done what was named a "Providence institution."

An excellent evening start to finish. We had a family friend come in for the weekend who wanted "old school Italian." Since Camille's was founded in 1914 with excellent Yelp reviews, this was an easy choice. We honestly got the best service we have EVER gotten at a Providence restaurant. The Maitre'd (Michael) was incredibly polite on the phone when I called to say we'd be 10 minutes late for our reservation. The staff (Andrew was our incredibly nice waiter) was quick to greet us, grab our coats, and the Maitre'd himself took us to our table. The ambiance was very classy- lots of dark colors, prints, heavy decorations. You would be wise to dress a little nicer than jeans- several ladies there were in dresses and many of the men had blazers on. The menu does encompass a wide variety of palates. We spent a long time debating our options. In the end, our friend got the veal, I got the baked scallops with crab, and my husband got the classic orecchiette with sausage and broccoli rabe. As we shared the entrees we could all agree that these were GREAT. The veal was amazingly tender and flavorful. My scallops were perfectly cooked, sweet, and the seasoning was a bit heavy but very VERY good. My husband's pasta was incredibly fresh and well cooked. We split the calamari (very good) and burrata (very fresh, a little underseasoned by my palate, but overall still very good). The wine list was extensive- there were many options that hit most palates and budgets. For dessert we shared the tiramisu. The mascarpone was nice, a little on the thick side, but still delicate and tasty. Overall, this was one of the nicest evenings we've had in a while. It is a perfect place for a special Federal Hill evening.

We got the recommendation from an employee of Tasca Automotive Group. We had no clue where to go and went with it. Thank you Tasca!! The maitre'd was a very pleasant and professional greeter. The bread was very fresh with olive oil dip, simple and a perfect pre-meal complement. We got the tradtional garden salad that was hand served by our eloquent and passionate waiter. Now to main course. This was probably the best sauce I've ever had. Slow cooked three meat and perfectly sweet and delicious. I was able to get the Gnocchi with that sauce substituted. I love Gnocchi and I saw the description of that sauce and for only $4 more they made it happen..... Best Italian dish I've ever had. The Gnocchi, which had an added ricotta ingredient was "Perfetto" aldente. My wife had a Rigatoni and Eggplant dish with a dollop of RIccota and she was raving about it. Our son had a simple kids spaghetti and meatball dish and we stole 1/2 his meatball. It was huge and it was unbelievable.To complete the meal, I had a perfect slice of Tiramisu. My counterparts had a strangely overpowering meringue and fruit dessert. You have to take that slow as the Peach Topping was super-nuclear strong. I don't know if we enjoyed it but we kept trying it because the taste was nice, just too overpowering. I am not going reduce the 5 stars because of that meringue dish because the rest of our experience was just too good. By the time the night was over we figured that we had been waited on by not less than 8 different people. The service was second to none. All of them quietly polite and attentive. Can't wait to go back......

Restaurant week review: Of all of the restaurant week places, Camille was definitely one of the best in terms of quality, quantity, and affordability. The ambiance is suited primarily for well dressed couples who like to spend just a little more for great food, soft music and professional and courteous staff. I took my girlfriend here and ordered a wide array of tasty expensive treats. Appetizer: Bruschetta - really outstanding and the bread was moist with the wine sauce. Eggplant - really savory, but could not taste the eggplant that well Entree: Scallop - 3 large scallops....really well cooked...but only 3. Served over a towering plate of spinach salad. Pork chop - best I've ever had and definitely tasted super porky. I think the sourness of the peppers complimented the pork beautifully. Food: 4 stars Service: 5 stars Ambiance: 4 stars Overall: great expensive date place

Visited for the first time for my boyfriend's birthday. We had both never been there before, but were definitely pleased. The service was excellent, food was delicious, and the ambiance was great. The interior is very romantic and classy. Loved the dim lighting with the candlelit tables. The calamari was absolutely amazing and the portion was very generous for two people. Boyfriend ordered the lasagna, and I ordered chicken parm. Both were good sized portions and we had to take our leftovers home. For dessert we got the vanilla bean creme brÃ»lÃ©e which was great as well, complete with fresh fruit. Will definitely come back for another special occasion.

I ordered the seared scallops on Prosciutto di Parma, and the Beet salad for pick up. The service was excellent. The food quality was fresh and flavorful, worth the high price tag. The place is very nicely decorated, to create a relaxing, elegant ambience for a family or business dinner. Cute for dates methinks. Definitely worth eating here.

Where to begin.... This isn't hype, this restaurant is excellent & serves decadent cuisine in a sophisticated, plush velvety atmosphere. We have been a few times when in Providence. The 1st time was for the Contender boxing event @ the D&D Center so our private group consisted of approx 30 people. Close to true perfection. Execution on both presentation (art!) & flavor (layered) as well as accuracy of dish is nothing short of stunning. Not 1 person was unimpressed and all left satiated after our entrees, many bottles of wine & decadent desserts & espresso. Sea bass, Gnocchi, lamb chops, calamari, Chicken dishes, & pasta. My husband adores lamb and he was in heaven- cooked perfectly, served on a bed of smooth mashed potatoes & garlicky greens. Service isn't as attentive nor as personable as I prefer but no mistakes. Perfect for a special occasion or event or if you and someone special want to treat themselves to a beautiful evening.

Took my girlfriend here for her bday, she got the steak special...it was thee best steak we both have ever had. I usually enjoy a filet not a marbled New York strip type but whatever this was it was marinated perfectly the sauce...overall flavor...I'm starting to salivate thinking about it. My dish was excellent as well ...scallops. Not thee best but most definitely not the worst.:) Been living in Providence since sept. 2013 and this is our favorite restaurant so far. Atmosphere - if you know that scene in Bruce Almighty where he take Jennifer Aniston's character out to dinner to tell her he got anchor it's kinda like that but darker which I liked...yes Tony Bennett was playing in the background...you know they're the real deal.:). Loved it!

First we started with two salads the house dressing they offer was very bland was not impressed from the start. The food is overpriced got the gluten free Ravioli six of them which were bland and the texture was rubber for 23 dollars my grandma got the chicken parm it was so tough you could not even cut into it the one positive was my mom chicken marsela was good overall would not go back much better selection you can get on the hill.

I went for the first time a few weeks ago with my husband and my in-laws. It was extremely busy, but it also happened to be the week of graduation. Our waiter was excellent. We ordered every single app on the menu and the waiter kindly split up and plated the apps across the four of us. Pricing is what you would expect in downtown Boston. The wait staff was extremely accommodating and attentive. I would highly recommend the Arancini Di Riso and Formaggi E Salumi Piatto.

Federal Hill, the Italian capital of a distinctly Italo-American city, has in recent years been overtaken by a variety of new ethnic cuisines. In a stark departure from the Atwells Avenue of yesteryear, today you'll find a Middle Eastern hookah lounge, a Japanese sushi restaurant or a Chinese food option on almost every corner. And in true RI form, for every individual who finds this type of variety a good thing, there is a purist who laments the good old days, when this neighborhood was strictly a Roman Empire. Vestiges of the "old" Federal Hill will arguably always hold their own here, even amid all the changes taking place. Camille's is among these venerable stalwarts. Situated at the entrance to the Hill, it's a literal and figurative introduction to the culture and style that has long defined this neighborhood. Tucked away a few yards off Atwells, it appears you're entering someone's home; that is, until you open the door and enter a restaurant whose very design is an ode to all things Italianissimo. Leopard print carpeting; dark red sheers; sprays of vivacious flowers; a grand marble table for large groups; and low lighting. Service is accommodating, professional, and knowledgeable. A couple of years ago, Camille's "cleaned house," and today boasts an entirely new staff, including its chef. Since then, I have visited a couple of times for dinner and each time I've had a meal that is delicious, abundant, and richly indulgent. Though it's been nearly two years since my first of those dinners, I can still recall that Valentine's Day entrÃ©e: a mouthwatering Chilean sea bass. And again, just last weekend, I returned as part of a group of six friends. Our waiter, Damon, carefully apportioned a single calamari appetizer on six individual plates for us. I thought this was a very nice touch, as, with a group of this size, one or two people will inevitably miss out on a passed appetizer. This time, I sprang for the pasta Bolognese as my main course: thick pappardelle swimming in a savory, meaty red sauce. It was so good, and I was particularly ravenous. I made the mistake of eating the whole thing - not a morsel remained on the plate at the end of the night. (I even crowned the meal with a large meatball that was part of a side order on the table.) This, along with a few bites of decadent cakes after a walk through DePasquale Square later that night, effectively resulted in a nasty case of carbicide. I struggled as my stomach writhed in pain for the remainder of the evening. What was I thinking, inhaling what was surely a pound of (OMG crave-worthy) white pasta? This was no fault of Camille's, mind you; it was totally a byproduct of my own gluttony. But for anyone with even the mildest gluten intolerance, I issue a sober warning: no matter how good it looks, no matter how amazing it tastes: eat only half. Trust me, Camille's reheats beautifully--as proven by my more restrained better half, as he dug into a heaping plate of veal parmesan the following night while I nibbled on watermelon and fat free cheese. Enjoying leftovers is a far, far better state than the alternative: being doubled-over.

Camille's is wonderful. The waiter was very knowledgable assisting with wine selection and providing terrific menu suggestions. The service was fabulous from being greeted, seated, served, food preparation, food clearing, the whole nine yards wonderful. We had apps, entrees, and dessert and everything was cooked perfectly and absolutely delicious. A wonderful time will definitely be back.

Went to a lovely dinner here a cold and rainy Friday night in December. I love the feel of Camille's small and private and in an old mansion giving that elegant old world feel. The food was delicious and the service was impeccable but I have to say after leaving and thinking about it I'm not dying to go back. It was pricey and a little stuffy, I have no problem paying for a good meal and Camille's was but it was missing that little something that makes it special and worth you while. I think I'd give Camille's another try..maybe another meal or another night there would change my mind and give it the full five stars, either way its was a great meal and perfect service.

Really disappointed with my experience here tonight because I really wanted to love it. I arrived early (6:30) so I was seated right away. Upon being escorted into the dining room I saw the light level was extremely low, so much so that I expected the host to offer me a complimentary seeing eye dog! I'm all for ambience but this was a bit over the top. Needless to say, if your cell phone doesn't have a flashlight, you may want to bring one to see the menu (and your dinner companions). The room is elegant enough. The walls are gold with dark brown trim accented with tapestry. The windows are covered in black curtains....a little to Anne Frank for me. Joe, my server arrived and he was the best part of the dinner. Friendly, informative and efficient. My only regret was that I didn't ask for his recommendations on dishes. I may have had a better experience if I did. For an appetizer I ordered the Tonno Carparccio. Sashimi grade Ahi tuna topped with pineapple mango salsa and white tuna wrapped in cucumber dressed in lemon olive oil and yuzu and cherry caviar. The flavor was just okay, nothing mind blowing. Unfortunately, the texture of the ahi tuna was like a fruit roll-up. Rubbery and plastered to the plate. The cucumber on the white tuna was also very bland and could have benefitted with a little brining. Next I ordered the Grilled Faroe Island Salmon set over mashed potatoes and topped with Alaskan Snow Crab, poached asparagus and a Champagne garlic cream sauce. A generous portion and it would have been a home run if the salmon hadn't been included in the dish. Bland and flavorless, it had no seasoning so the Champagne sauce became a crucial element in order to give the fish some flavor. Also the grill marks on top of the filet just made the fish taste burnt. The crab on the other hand was sublime. No salmon and more crab......I would have been a happy camper. I didn't order coffee or desert so I can't comment on that. Overall, a disappointment. I'd like to recommend but alas, I can't.

One of the top two or three restaurants in Rhode Island, if not the best. Pricey, but you get what you pay for. And more, actually--they bring delicious small bites between courses. Good wine list. Recommended: gnocchi, duck, ribeye steak, creme brÃ»lÃ©e. Great place for a special occasion, whether that be a romantic date or a group celebration.

I love the hill. I especially love the hill when I get to try places like Camille's. I should note that I work in a line of business that frequently has vendors coming in to wine and dine us. That said, I can't speak to the cost of the food as my visit was courtesy of one of our research partners. In order to thrive on the hill, you have to have a little something special. I'd argue there's a lot of that here. The service was beyond stellar, from the valet who was prompt and courteous (and didn't ding the car...always a plus!), to the hostess and maÃ®tre d', both of whom were fantastic, to our waiter who was charismatic and attentive without being overbearing. I got the carbonara, which I realize is a little "vanilla" for the area, but it was by far the best I think I had ever had. The sauce was creamy yet extremely light, which made it a very dangerous dish as you could very easily eat the whole bowl without realizing it. Though I skipped dessert, the cappuccino was perfecto! The ambiance in Camille's was welcoming yet trendy....and interesting combination, but it works.

Woooooooooow, Camille's was amazing. We got there for an 8:30 reservation and the table wasn't ready because people were still at that table. Annoying, but what can you do? The four of us sidled over to the bar. We got a bit annoyed (though I guess I was the most out of anyone) and waited about 40 minutes! "This is unacceptable!" I thought. "No way can I give more than four stars already!" I thought tool-ishly. But I was wrong. Despite slight tackiness (leopard print carpet?!), the dining area is well decorated, warm, and inviting. The service here is well above average. The young man pouring us water introduced himself. Then the waiter did...I forgot his name! But he was amazing and so helpful the entire time. He knew a ton about the menu and was very accommodating for allergies and such. He struck the right balance of attentive and hands-off and was overall super friendly and helped make us feel welcome. Our appetizers were outstanding. The arancini were fabulous, and the antipasti plate was excellent as well, though I skipped the cheese. We split some gnocchi four ways - what a big portion it would've been otherwise! - and it was delicious and a perfect consistency. My sister and I both got zuppe de pesce. It wasn't really a soup, since there was little broth. There was also penne - though it seemed very from-the-box. Luckily, everything else in the dish was beyond amazing. I described it to my friends as a Bacchanalian orgy of seafood, and I have no idea how else to describe it. The scallops, mussels, clams, shrimp, boiled calamari, and lobster were so fresh and delicious. I think the scallops were some of the freshest I've had ever. I don't want to say they tasted like the ocean, because they were delicious and not salty or anything, but you could tell how fresh they were! This was true for the rest of the seafood too, and it really elevated the dish. Everyone was raving about his/her order. I'd advise you against getting a cab from them, because they said they ordered one type of taxi. About half an hour later, I called the company and they said that the restaurant had called them and then heard how long it'd be and cancelled. Still, it's hard to get a taxi pretty much anywhere here, so I guess I understand. Anyway, despite those tiny hiccups, the service and food were beyond outstanding. I was so happy to show my siblings and future sibling in law around Providence, and I am thrilled that they had the chance to experience some of the best of Federal Hill too!

Returning to Camille's after over twenty-five years, my husband and I were thrilled with the stunning remodel of the now black and white lounge area and the very romantic dining room. Holiday decorations were still present and were spectacular. Upon arrival, the host/manager greeted us with a smile and great warmth. Our waiter and his assistant were very attentive throughout the night as was the host. All courses were delivered in a timely fashion, allowing us to savor each dish. We began with sharing the arancini/riceballs and eggplant rollatini appetizers which were both very tasty with my preference for the latter. My husband's spaghetti carbonara was cooked al dente to his delight and he did not leave anything in that dish of plenty! My pork chop entree was pleasing, and particularly good due to the accompanying sauce. The chop itself was somewhat fatty and the green beans, although very fine, were a bit too hard for my liking. All in all, it was a lovely evening in a restaurant that should be known for its romantic atmosphere and good service.

What a special treat! I cant remember the last time I enjoyed a meal out this much. The restaurant is beautiful, with spacious intimate seating. Our waiter was friendly, helpful, professional and unobtrusive. They even prepared a special desert plate with a candle and personalized birthday wish on the spot! I had the Cesar that was perfect and seafood casserole that was really delicious. We will go back to Camille's...soon!

Camille the lady was my great aunt and she passed away about a year ago at the age of 102. Needless to say I know a lot about this place because I basically grew up there. In fact my dad tended bar for over twenty years. The story goes that he went in to say hi to Aunt Camille while he was in college, most likely looking to get a fee dinner, and she was down a bar tender and she told my dad to put on an apron and get behind the bar. He worked Friday nights for twenty years because he loved meeting people. Prior to my aunt selling the establishment about ten years age it was very much the old school Italian restaurant. Booths lined the main dinning room for privacy and the bar was small and intimate. Since then it has been remolded and had somewhat of a new look to it but it still is a beautiful room. The food is great and the service is world class. I always take my out of town guest there because it brings so many great memories back. What was great when I was a kid is the my Aunt and Uncle Jack didn't want there staff to work on Sunday so it was always closed. They owned a wonderful home on the water in Bristol and every Sunday they guest who would stop in to eat the left overs from Camille's and meet many of the famous guest. They included a lot of the entertainers that use to play at the Warwick Tent. I didn't pay much attention to them because we were always playing and getting in trouble. I miss you Aunt Camille and Uncle Jack so many nice memories.

We just hung out at the bar for a couple of drinks and some food. The fagioul was outstanding. The crowd was mostly in their 50s and some couples but the interior was just what I hoped it would be. Stylish, old school Italian American.

A hidden Gem in the wonderful Federal Hill section of Providence!!! Restaurant was recommended to me by the hotel I was staying at. Dinned on New Years Eve. Arrived a few minutes before our reservation time but was seated upon arrival. Dinner was a Preset Menu due to the Holiday. Wine list was simple, 4 or 5 selections from each type of wine. Dinner was amazing. I've had Chicken Marsala many times, but the flavor just burst in your mouth. Chicken was extremely tender and moist. In addition I also had a side of homemade Rigatoni that was out of this world. Wait staff was very kind, knew I was from out of town and asked how my visit was going so far. Would highly recommend this so anyone who travels to Providence. Can't wait to go back and try something from the full menu.

While attempting to pick a suitable Federal Hill restaurant in which to have my belated birthday dinner with my co-workers, my boss mentioned his love for Camille's. "Where?" I asked. After living in RI for a large part of my life, I had actually never heard of this place. Big mistake. I've learned my lesson!! After reviewing the menu online, I made reservations here for the four of us. Free valet parking (all you do is tip), excellent service from the moment we walked in, attentive and knowledgeable waitstaff, a menu filled with incredible-sounding options, and a long list of specials that made it just that much harder to choose just one entree. We shared the Scampi alla Santiago appetizer, which was delicious, sweet, salty, crisp, just a great melange of flavors and textures. I had one of the specials, the baked sea scallops with crab meat, bread crumbs, cheese and other yummy flavors. It was incredible! Although I could barely finish it, I stuffed all but one succulent scallop into my mouth. Mmmmmm. So worth the pool of butter and wine in which it was bathing. Finally, my dessert of crepes arrived with a single candle standing on it's own and the words "Happy Birthday" scrawled in chocolate around the perimeter. What a sweet way to end my birthday dinner! Although the prices were on the high side (I wasn't paying for this meal) I would DEFINITELY come back here regardless of the occasion or the price tag. Camille's is just one of those places worth splurging. I know that in return for my visit I will be awarded with excellent service, incredible food, and an unforgettable experience!

This was a truly great dining experience. A prompt, warm and welcoming greeting at the entrance. The professional wait staff gets it just right. Our server, Damon, was attentive, informative and friendly. After an extensive and exhaustive search over the last 10+ years, I finally found the best veal parmesan in the New England/New York area. It's right here! We also had an outstanding sole/shrimp dish. A very nice wine by the glass list is available. This is an expensive restaurant but is worth it. As Arnold said, " I'll be back!"

We loved our experience at Camille's. We had a reservation for 9pm on a windy and cold November night. We really liked the decor and ambiance. We arrived a little early and were seated right away. The maitre d' kindly put us a table for four even though there were several tables for two available, which we appreciated. We had a bottle of Riesling, from which our waiter Tony frequently replenished our glasses. We shared the arancini for an app, which Tony split into separate plates for us after showing us the original presentation. I also had a Caesar salad. For entrees, my husband had the osso buco, and I had the chicken parmigiana. He loved the osso buco, which was also served with a sausage and duck wing and breast. The chicken parm was good also. My husband also had an Irish coffee. The total bill was $136. We had a great experience and would go back if we were in town again. Oh, and we also got a great parking spot ourselves, but the valet was available right at the front door.

What can I say but what a special night. We were seated immediately and promptly greeted by our waiter who set expectations for the evening. We were able to relax and enjoy the atmosphere while reviewing the wine list. Specials were offered and hubby chose pan seared scallops with whipped potatoes and broccoli rabe. I opted for the Zappa di pesce with a fra diavlo sauce over linguine. It was wonderful, but was served in a bowl the size of a bathroom sink. There were leftovers for three meals. A five star experience all the way around.

Went there for lunch while we were in Providence for a conference...what a great deal!! Phenomenal homemade gnocchi, light and fluffy like nana used to make them, but the sauce here was even better (very fresh, a bit creamy with lots of fresh basil....mmmm...sorry nana!!) My husband had the fried smelt appetizer (I am not a big fish fan, but tried them anyway....not bad...but I couldn't get over the thought of eating the WHOLE fish - minus the head). He LOVED them! The waiter, Anthony, was quite personable. Turns out we he had a Buffalo connection with one of our local pizza joints and talked about that for a while. Overall, great prices for a phenomenal lunch, nice server....I would recommend it if you are into fine Italian food!!

Amazing food and atmosphere, this feels like a old mob place....because it was. Lots of stories to tell, and the food is old style Italian, the really good stuff. You will be amazed at the high quality of service and food. The wine selection is also good too.

Simply my favorite restaurant anywhere. Yes it is expensive, but it's one of the few high-profile restaurants of its kind that delivers every time. I can't imagine being disappointed by any entree on the menu. In fact, I liked the ambiance of this restaurant so much, that in my novel, "Confessions of the Meek and the Valiant," I used a description of Camille's old mob-inspired decor as the inspiration behind "Americo's" -- a key location in the book. There are so many perfect dishes, I don't know what to recommend first. However, I believe the "Rhode Island style" pan-fried calamari with hot and sweet peppers to be the best on the planet.

High S.

A fine-dining experience all around. The dining room is not the place for kids or for a quick bite, but there's a lounge area or better yet an OUTSIDE patio if the kids are with you, and a bar for that "quick-bite". I dined with a larger group and we were more than impressed with the food and service. You get what you pay for, and at Camilles you get the best! If you're someone who unfortunately can't seem to separate money from experiences, then head somewhere else. I saw a review for a $22 glass of "house wine" from an upset diner so I had my eyes open when ordering, that $22 glass was the high-end Cabernet, one of three available ranging from $9 to $22... So if you just pay attention to what you're ordering and realize that some people don't mind paying for good food, drink and service, you'll be more than happy here. There's a lot to choose from on The Hill, but no reason to go anywhere else when you want the best.

Was there for restaurant week a while ago. I do understand that restaurant food week is not necessarily the best, but there was no excuse for the extremely low quality food... cold, insipid pasta, stale cannolis that were likely taken out of the refrigerator, that were made God knows how long ago!)... and the service was equally cold. Not worth the money, time, or the heartburn.

Matt G.

Went in for business lunch and were greeted as soon as we walked in the door. However, service beyond that point was spotty at best. A long wait for appetizers, dishes sat on the table for a good length of time after we were finished and water was not promptly refilled. However...... the food was utterly delicious. I loved the calamari with sweet/hot peppers and the chicken special for the day was wonderfully done and scrumptious. A very nice meal that would have been 5 stars with better service. I would go back and hope for a 5 star meal, but would recommend nonetheless.

Daniel G.

So I went back last week. I had a crab cake appetizer and the special of the day, a seafood casserole, which was very nice. It was of perfect portion with a little bit of buttery taste... excellent, the way it should be. The only disappointment was the desert. I had the creme brule which was too thick and creamy. I am liking this place more the second time around.

Mamie P.

Overpriced uninspired Italian restaurant. Most in party of four did not bother to eat more than 25% of food on plates and we hadn't eaten all day. Meh. You can do much better for less money elsewhere. And the piano bar was waaaay over the top...it took over what little atmosphere existed in the dining room .

Loved the atmosphere, felt like old world Italy. Prices were as expected but food was worth it. Servers were professional and you could tell career type hospitality people. I would go again in a minute.

My boyfriend and I went to Camille's for lunch the other day. The restaurant is gorgeous, and unexpectedly upscale for its location. So unexpected, in fact, that I found myself feeling incredibly under-dressed in shorts and a hooded tunic. Maybe some of my discomfort had to do with the luke-warm reception from hostess at the front of the house, who was dressed to the nines. I think if she had smiled it would have cracked her face. We were told to sit anywhere we were comfortable, and we chose the patio. It's a very classy setting, with tall shrubs and hydrangeas around the perimeter. Bench seating along the edge of the patio, with umbrella'd tables and chairs. We felt much more relaxed out there, with a boisterous group of older Italian men who were obviously regulars. I will say that the tables were a little low for the bench seating, although the benches were comfortable. We received a much warmer welcome from the bartender, who also acted as our server out there. She was sweet, smiley, and efficient. Our Stellas were well tended-to, and we didn't feel forgotten despite the fact that the group at the bar kept her on her toes. She brought out bread, a pitcher of olive oil, a bowl of red pepper flakes and a bowl of Parmesan. Either they throw out a lot of extra pepper, cheese, and oil, or they reuse the condiments. Neither prospect excites me. The bread, I have to say, was delicious, especially with the addition of the aforementioned accompaniments. My boyfriend had the chicken Marsala with a side of rigatoni ($2 more for the rigatoni over the other pasta choices) that came with a nice rustic tomato sauce. The former didn't last long, and by the time he got to the pasta, I think he realized his eyes were bigger than his stomach. I had the gnocchi, which is one of my favorites when it's done correctly. Unfortunately, while the flavor of the dish was delicious, with a simple Sorrentina sauce (it looked beautiful, too, with a nice stem of basil as a garnish), the gnocchi was chewy and dense. They could learn a thing or two from Andino's. As far as price is concerned, I didn't think anything was too out there. Though while $10 is quite reasonable for a nice dish of gnocchi, I would have expected them to get the texture right. My boyfriend said everything he had was tasty. While I didn't sample his Marsala, I will say the rigatoni was okay, but it didn't blow me out of the water. And I thought the $2 up-charge was rather ridiculous. All-in-all, I have mixed feelings about Camille's. So three stars. For now.

Amazing restuarant - food, ambiance, service all 5 stars!! We went for a weekend trip to see Water Fire. This restaurant was a couple blocks down the street from the acutal water fire. Doesn't have a good view or any veiw at all, but it's very romantic inside. I wouldn't suggest bringing children here. My husband had Seafood Fra Diavlo and I had Filet with sage. Both were delicious. It is a little pricey. Both our meals cost about $50 and we got $60 bottle of wine, plus tip, the bill ended up being about $220. But we go out to eat alot - and this place was very well worth it. We had George as a waiter and he was great! We will be going back soon!!

Short Story: This place is $$$$ not $$. Simply put, it's probably the most expensive Italian food in Providence. The food ranged from ok to exceptional and was complemented by incredibly attentive and professional service. For me this was 3.5 stars but I rounded down for few reasons in the Long Story below. I'm glad I tried Camille's, but I probably won't push to go back unless someone convinces me to return. I recommend trying Camille's if you're looking for a high end Italian spot in Providence. Long Story: Originally I wanted to try Siena again since I had an average experience there the last time, but there were no reservations available at a decent time. Jumped on Yelp and saw Camille's had excellent reviews and $$ (learned from now on to confirm pricing by checking out the restaurant's menu online before assuming that the first person to review a place isn't an idiot. The best part is that even if I had checked the prices online, those were not accurate based on what I was charged). You see where this is going. Get there, walk in, think to myself this is pretty nice place - open a menu and realize - Shit, this is going to be pricey. Not a problem - just had to get into the expensive dinner mindset and choose a plan of attack. Finally settled on Scampi alla Santiago ($22), Tagliatelle al Bolognese($29), Merluzzo special (black cod) ($45) and the Veal Saltimbocca ($30). Scampi was exceptional. I haven't had shrimp wrapped in prosciutto perfectly executed like that. The Sambuca glaze was incredible. Thought the spinach salad was a weak compliment to the Shrimp, but would highly recommend getting this app. The Tagliatelle al Bolognese had perfectly cooked Tagliatelle but a bland Bolognese sauce - not much else to say here. I don't recommend it. The Merluzzo was incredible. First - I highly recommend getting anything on the menu that has their mashed potatoes (quote of the night, "the mashed taste better than fries when I'm high). Not sure how else to put it, but the mashed are amazing. The Black Cod was done in an understated butter sauce that seemed to have a hint of truffle. The Cod was perfectly cooked and the highlight of the meal. The Veal Saltimbocca sucked - not really interested in trying to pretty that explanation up, but for $30, I should have sent the veal back. I was impressed however with the side dish of Capellini in a simple but really fresh basil infused marinara (I think) - had one of those ah-ha moments when I realized really good pasta sauce doesn't need to be complex or fancy. So the food was a mixed bag. The service however was not. George, our server, along with his supporting cast were all top notch and were comparable to most high-end fine dining I've been to (outside of NYC). George did recommend the Vitella alla San Marino over the Saltimbocca and I should have taken that reco in hindsight. If you have a special event and want to go out for a high-end Italian dinner, this might be the spot if you order correctly.

My birthday is on Valentines Day, so my fiancee has some big shoes to fill for that evening. This year, he chose to take me to Camille's, after a very nice dinner at a different place on the Hill last year. We got there about 10 minutes early, had our car valet parked (for free), and headed inside. We were greeted by a very friendly hostess who gave me a rose for Valentines Day, which they were giving to all the women. They said our table would be ready right on time and had us go to the bar while we waited. We got a drink and sat at one of the side tables for a few minutes, and were called to be seated right at 6:30 as they promised. We were seated at a quaint table for two in the main dining room, and the host courteously pulled out my chair and put my napkin on my lap. Throughout the night, the hosts, waitstaff and even busboys were just as courteous, consistently asking us how things were and if we were happy. The food was just as high-quality as the service. We started out with the calamari appetizer, which they split onto 2 plates for us, and it was out of this world. For our meals, my fiancee ordered chicken marsala and I ordered veal parm, both of which were amazing. Not only that, but the piece of veal I was delivered was enough for THREE meals (and yes, I've already had the leftovers for 2 meals... and no, I'm not one of those girls who only eats 3 bites; this thing was bigger than my HEAD). Needless to say, the prices were high but you got more than your money's worth! After dinner, we respectfully declined dessert; although it was my birthday I couldn't fit a piece of cake in me after that dinner! But before delivering the bill, our waiter brought us 2 complimentary glasses of champagne to end the evening. And I'm not sure what type of champagne it was, but it was pretty good, and I tend to dislike a LOT of champagnes. Overall I had an amazing evening at a beautiful, delicious and (all things considered) reasonably priced establishment. I'm not sure how Valentine's Day dinner differs from any regular night at Camille's, but I'll be sure to report back once I find out- which I fully intend to!

I visited Camille's with my parents, fiancee and his parents to celebrate our recent engagement and to introduce our parents to each other, for the first time. When we arrived the table was ready and although it was nicely set, it was very dark inside, despite it still being quite sunny out. I would recommend that they turn up the lights a bit because in the corner that we were seated in, it's quite dark despite there being windows directly behind us - so dark that it made it hard to read what was on the menu. The waiter was pleasant, although the moment we sat down he launched into the specials and asked what drinks we would like - we'd barely had time to pull in our chairs before he started trying to take drink orders. We expressed that we were in no hurry and that we were there to celebrate an engagement and that he should come back after we'd had time to look at the drinks and menus and decide. Dinner was just okay......the veal was average and the scallops w/spinach and prosciutto meal was quite salty. Not a 'terrible' meal, but I'm not sure that it warranted the price tag. And the Moet & Chandon Imperial that we shared was quite overprced - here's a link to the bottle we had and, as you'll see, it's 59.00 - not the 99.00 we were charged: wine.com/V6/Moet-and-Chaâ€¦ Mixed drinks seemed overly spendy, although the tiramisu with "congratulations" written in chocolate sauce that the waiter brought us was a nice touch. As I mentioned, the reservation that we had was at 7pm and we left close to 10pm. As we were gathering in the lobby and using the restrooms at the conclusion of the evening, we realized that the noise disruption that we had been hearing waft into the dining room and was 'somewhat' interruptive was the karaoke night that they were hosting in the bar. Really. Not for nothing, but if I'm paying the amount of money that we did that evening and are expected to dress and present appropriately, I do not want to hear inebriated folks wailing old Journey songs in the background. All in all, it was just a very fair experience, in terms of the food and drinks and service. It was happy for me, not because of the environment, but because of the company and the occasion we were celebrating. I know that if I had been there just for a nice dinner with just my fiancee, I would have noticed some of these things sooner whereas that evening, i was more focused on the purpose of the dinner. The environment has a hard time backing up the cost. Service was adequate. Karaoke is a no-no.

If you're looking for a splurge restaurant or to treat yourself to something special, this is the place to go. Service is beyond compare, food is outrageous, drinks are truly special and the wine list extensive. Great for a girlfriends lunch!

Great service, very friendly and helpful staff. I got a special with scallops laid on top of spinach and mashed potatoes. The scallops were cooked perfectly, but the potatoes were bland. A little pricey...a little over $200 for 3 people (includes a few drinks, 2 apps, 3 dinners and 1 dessert.) All in all I liked it but I'd probably try a new place next time.

Camille's is an average restaurant that seems to confuse great food for large food. I do not care that my entree comes in a massive flower planter if it tastes like the food was made by an Appleby's line cook.. The food is incredibly average except for the massive size of the entrees. Big does not equal good and this was not that good. I brought my entire office for a holiday party and here's my review. The calamari was just too breaded and the banana peppers were scarce, the shrimp wrapped in prosciutto was bland and overcooked. The porkchops were thin and in a watery sauce with poorly seasoned vinegar peppers. The lobster fra diavolo was served without tail meat for $65.00, outrageous. There was one pasta dish which was to be servesd with what the waiter described as a "dollop" of ricotta, the dish came with at least 8 ounces of unseasoned ricotta---it was quite honestly a bizarre serving. The baked scallops were quite large but the idea that a restaurant would serve baked stuffed scallops is revolting. Baked scallops en casserole does not generally equal good eats.... Our server was excellent, the desserts were quite fine and the drinks were well made. Too bad the appetisers and the entrees were just average.

Bill W.

There is not enough good to say about Camiles, it is consistantly great food, well prepared and served by a well trained exceptional staff. I laugh at some of the other non 5 star reviews that complain about it being too dark-see romantic warm atmosphere or the fool who compained about the cost of a bottle of moet being too high ( you do know the restaurant industry average for wine is typically 2 to 3 times retail)...and some of the other yelpers who obviously are better suited for olive garden...this is a great,true italian food place ( real "gravy", amazing smelts, true bolognase, tender chicken and veal cutlet preperations with excelent preperation whether it be francaise, parmigiana, or a special). The wine list is varied and inclusive, the table settings and plated food beautiful and creative, and again a professional well trained always available non-hovering staff. I come from around New Haven which has some great Italian restaurants but still wish Camiles was closer to me.

This place is pretty great. Came here with a large group of about 20 and they were easily able to accommodate us both with seating and with service. Luckily, our group was friendly and we may or may not have passed a few dishes around to try them. I wish I knew what the girl across from me ordered (may have been the Zuppe di Pesce) because it was nothing short of a giant trough of pasta and seafood. We're talking, the bowl was the size of a sink... no exaggeration whatsoever. That seemed to be the theme with quite a few items on the menu, including one of the desserts someone got which came in a giant glass with chocolate cake and ice cream. For appetizers, I tried Calamari Fritte (for the first time) and it was delicious. I hate seafood, and may never be able to eat calamari anywhere else, but it was just delicious. Also tried the Mozzarella en Carozza which was very good. For dinner I got to try the seafood dish above, plus the Roasted Rack of Lamb (delish) and a ravioli dish with chicken. All was very good. It's pretty expensive place but very classy and the food was great. Oh and free valet like most places on the hill.

Went to this restaurant during restaurant week in Providence this past Monday. The 'special' menu was VERY limited and basic ( chicken Parm, chicken Marsala, pink vodka sauce, sole francese and pork chop ) not only were the dishes odd if you're trying to spotlight your menu but the ones we tried were average and for the price...... Not at all worth it. We paid $30 for an appetizer, entree and two scoops of ice cream. With the crazy drink prices ( $10.50 for a grey goose cosmo ) our bill easily soared over $200 for four people for a Monday night 'special'. With ALL the other restaurant options in Providence, we have no reason to go back to this place. The service was very good and the atmosphere is very romantic! Had we selected from the regular menu, we may have enjoyed it much more although the price would likely have been even higher. Bottom line is that whoever decided on the 'special' menu, failed in their selections and ability showcase the great food others have said they enjoyed at Camille's.

Federal Hill in Providence is a great place to go if you like Italian food (and who doesn't?), but there are so many choices that it is tough to decide where to go. One of the restaurants that I go to more often than some of the others is Camille's, which is located just off the main drag (Atwells Avenue) near the entrance to Federal Hill. The restaurant is located in what looks like a huge house, and has lots of charm in nearly every corner. The restaurant itself leans more toward upscale Italian cuisine, so don't expect an inexpensive red-sauce joint, but the prices aren't really all that bad. My favorite dishes here tend to be anything with veal, as it is tender and delicious, but the pastas are very good as well. Because Camille's isn't right on Atwells Avenue, it is sometimes overlooked by folks and is a hidden gem of sorts. But it is easy to find coming off Route 95 and is in fact extremely close to the highway, so even though it feels a bit off the beaten track, it really isn't. Overall, I'd say that Camille's is a great choice for Italian food in the Federal Hill section of Providence.

Absolutly phenomenal food here, great service (staff are always attentive, friendly, knowledgeable and accomadating), great atmosphere. You cant go wrong with any dish here- strongly reccomend the chicken francais( best i've ever had in a restaraunt) and the giant mouth watering pork chops. The mozzerella and gnocchi r also great. Good for lunch or dinner.

Based on the restaurant's history and reputation in Providence, I was expecting excellence from Camille's--but instead I was met with disappointment. My boyfriend and I had a reservation for 9pm, it took till 9:30pm for them to seat us-- at a large table meant for a party of 6. We asked our server to move us to a smaller table and he graciously obliged. Overall, the service throughout the night was about a B+, and the food was meh, especially considering the price. I ordered the lobster ravioli special and was disappointed to be served tough lobster and heart shaped raviolis that were clearly prepared for Valentine's day (2 days ago!). For a nearly $50 plate, I want perfection and that would mean fresh food. I've tried many places on Federal Hill and simply cannot recommend Camille's. The food is not fresh nor local, nor exceptionally prepared. For the same price I could have dinner at Nick's. For half the price I could have a better italian meal and nicer ambiance at Casserino's.

Camille's was recommended to me by a born-and-raised Rhode Islander, so I put a bit of stock in that. We did not valet our car as my husband had just picked up his brand new car earlier that day and didn't want anyone driving it. The host was polite and brief...told us it would be 5-10 minutes for our reservation. Apps: we had the portabello strudel and the mozzarella en corrozza. the strudel was yummy, but 2 sad slices from a larger strudel from who-knows-when-it-was-originally baked. 30 minutes ago? earlier that morning? it was more spinach than mushroom, but it was still tasty. the mozzarella was VERY thick but delicious. the red sauce is light and tasty. Dinner: i had the Zuppa di Pesce and my husband had the gnocchi. as yelper Amanda M stated, the Zuppa was in a trough. No joke. The bowl was about a foot wide and about 6 inches deep. I'm short and the seat was low, so my mouth was practically on the edge of the bowl. Slightly awkward. Other than that is was delicious, however i dont think angelhair is "strong enough" to hold up to seafood. Hello, linguine? It was still delicious. I'll ask for a different pasta next time. the gnocchi was outstanding. perfectly cooked and tossed with basil and sauce and cheese. YUM. prices are on the sightly higher end, but mostly reasonable. we passed on dessert because we were too full from dinner, but i would like to come back and see what the fuss is about with the brownie sundae in a giant martini glass.

Came here with a large group. The service was excellent, really exceptional, great wait staff all round. The food, however, was not fantastic. Perhaps it was because we were a large group (22 people), but the food was just not great. It was certainly tasty, but not the exceptional quality I would expect from such a well reviewed and high end establishment. I had fish for the main course, it was bland and a little chewy. I also had some pasta, which was undercooked. The creme brulee was phenomenal, however. I would probably come back here if it were with a smaller party, because I think the quality of the food was purely a factor of the number of people in our party.

Although I moved to the west coast, I try to make it to the Hill at least once every time I go back to Providence. Camille's has always been one of my favorites. I am always treated very well; my reservation requests are always attended to and the food is always excellent. The people here know how to run a first class establishment and know how to make you feel special. The veal porterhouse tastes better at Camille's than anywhere else I have ever been able to find it. The scungilli salad is another one of my favorites. I also like that you can find both clams and oysters on the half shell here. Even when I have no reason to come back to Providence, I will make a point to stop by once in a while when my travels bring be back to Boston. It's worth the drive!

Camille's is an experience. I asked the maitre d' about the poster of Frank Sinatra being arrested in Bergen County (NJ) for seduction. "Frank used to eat here every time he came to Providence," he said. "He came here about 25 times." I can believe it. The food was exquisite, the dining room lush, and the service terrific. If you love a great Italian experience, and want something beyond Olive Garden, take a trip to Providence.

Great place. We had a couple of cocktails in the nice lounge area beforehand. Well rounded menu and the food and ambiance was excellent. Only major complaint about the meal was that the waiter got my date's dinner wrong and didn't offer to compensate us in any way (one free drink??). The place was expensive and you can get similar food and decor for less $$ on the hill.

For a fancy schmancy place, the service was just horrible. I called ahead and made reservations so they knew a large party was coming. We were in town for a conference so we were a group of 14. I give them points or allowing us to partake without appropriate attire. We didn't realize quite how fancy the place was. They were part of Restaurant Week so they had a fixed menu for $29.95. Three courses t a nice place at that price is a great deal. I had the eggplant roll, which had very uneven temperatures throughout, the sole franchese, which was a little greasy and way too salty and the vanilla ice cream, which was supposed to have strawberry compote on it but also had some sort of funky chocolate sauce. All in all, this place was a disappointment. Dinner took three hours and I was just not satisfied. It gets one star for the good food my friends ordered and one star for letting us in with shorts and flip flops. Never again.

We ended up at Camille's for the first time by chance when Mediterraneo turned out to be closed and the valet recommended the place down the street. (Why do PVD restaurants have to close their kitchens so early? Argh.) Anyway, we were pleasantly surprised and still can't believe this place doesn't get more press. The food is fantastic, the decor old-school swank (i.e. a little garish and Sinatrafied, but in a charming way), and the service excellent. We've been back several times since and have always left satisfied. The rigatoni con formaggio affumicato (a rich, aromatic baked pasta with fresh tomatoes and smoked mozzarella) is a standout, and the selection of vegetarian pasta dishes is well above average. Also, the place is huge, so there's rarely a wait for a table even on weekends. And it's open until 11, which is a definite plus for those of us who can't get our act together in time for regular dinner hours.

Italian Cuisine

The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.

Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.

If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.
