Joe Marzilli’s Old Canteen Proves Charm Never Ages

Posted

There’s a reason why people have been returning to Joe Marzilli’s Old Canteen for over 60 years. Open since 1956, it’s the oldest family-owned Italian restaurant in Rhode Island as well as the first restaurant to greet you after the gateway arch into Providence’s “Little Italy.” Their authentic Italian cuisine is as delightful as their one-of-a-kind ambience. For those that have not yet had the pleasure of dining at the Old Canteen, prepare to to be charmed upon entry by the pink walls, carpets and napkins -- not to mention the tuxedoed waitstaff.

The recipes of Joe Marzilli himself have been followed by generations of chefs, including his own son, Sal, who now carries on the family tradition as the current chef/owner.

Their menu takes the palate on a delicious journey back in time. Proudly serving classic Italian favorites such as Eggplant Parmigiana, Veal and Sausage, Chicken Cacciatore, as well as 20 different kinds of pasta dishes, there’s something for the whole family to enjoy. Traditional Italian cuisine meets the ocean’s bounty of Rhode Island with their mouthwatering Fisherman’s Style Stuffed Lobster; overflowing with fresh lobster, scallops and shrimp. Don’t forget to inquire about their phenomenal seven-course dining experience.

There’s no need for a special occasion to dine at Joe Marzilli’s Old Canteen. Whatever brings you to this iconic dining destination, their delicious menu and legendary service is sure to make for a memorable experience.
