Discovering Federal Hill – Providence’s Little Italy

Federal Hill, known as Providence’s Little Italy, is a neighborhood rich in history, culture, and culinary delights. At the heart of Federal Hill is DePasquale Plaza, a lively square filled with fountains, sculptures, and outdoor dining spaces. This is the perfect spot to soak in the vibrant atmosphere while enjoying a delicious meal or a cup of coffee from one of the many Italian cafes.

The history of Federal Hill is deeply tied to the Italian immigrants who settled here in the early 20th century. Their influence is evident in the neighborhood’s architecture, cuisine, and cultural traditions. Walking through the streets, you’ll find a variety of Italian bakeries, delis, and restaurants that have been family-owned for generations. The aromas of fresh bread, pastries, and traditional Italian dishes fill the air, inviting you to indulge in the rich flavors of Italy.

Federal Hill is also home to several historic landmarks, including the Church of the Holy Ghost and Garibaldi Square. These sites offer a glimpse into the neighborhood’s past and the enduring legacy of its Italian-American community. The neighborhood hosts a number of festivals and events throughout the year, such as the annual Federal Hill Stroll, which celebrates its culinary heritage with tastings, live music, and entertainment.
