About the restaurant

Step into Sunday dinner on Federal Hill. Located in the heart of Providence’s historic Atwells Avenue, Anthony’s is where Italian hospitality meets the comfort of a true family kitchen. We anchor our menu in culinary pride, serving up plate-filling, house-made portions meant to be celebrated.

The atmosphere is lively, warm, and nostalgic with the energy of clinking glasses and shared platters. Whether you're toast-making for a milestone anniversary or just craving a massive bowl of pasta after a long week, you're family the moment you walk in.

Our Signatures:

Stuffed Artichokes: Garlic-infused, perfectly seasoned, and built to share.

The Classics: Crisp Veal Parmigiana bubbling with melted mozzarella over slow-simmered marinara.

Hand-Piped Cannolis: The perfect, sweet Federal Hill finish.

The Ultimate Perk: Skip the neighborhood parking panic. We have our own dedicated private parking lot.

Your table is waiting. Pull up a chair.

The food was delicious! We had 4 appetizers instead of getting entrees. They have live music there, but we had an early dinner before a show at The Park Theater, so we didn't see the band. Our server, Devon, was outstanding. Drinks were yummy too!

About the restaurant

A favorite of Julia Child - Pot au Feu Bistro is so much more than a restaurant... Established in 1972, our cozy Bistro is the oldest French Bistro in America. Pot au Feu Bistro kicked off the Providence Restaurant Renaissance being the first to offer something other than “steak, spaghetti and chow mien”.
Located in the Historic Downtown we are just minutes from all the hotels and convention center.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Absolutely Phenomenal Experience at Waterman Grille! Last night, I planned a small birthday dinner for a friend, and we had the pleasure of being served by Noah. From the moment we arrived, Noah was in great spirits. He was attentive, quick, friendly, and had such an amazing personality. His energy and professionalism truly made the evening that much more special. He went above and beyond, and I can honestly say he was phenomenal! The food did not disappoint either! Everything was exactly as described, served hot, fresh, and absolutely delicious. Every dish was on point! Noah, thank you for making our evening such a wonderful experience. You are a true asset to Waterman Grille. I would absolutely request you every single time! Five stars all around! Great service, amazing food, and an unforgettable experience. We will definitely be back! ❤️
