FEDERAL HILL PIZZA

FIGIDINI WOOD FIRE EATERY

Providence, RI
FEDER AL HILL P I Z Z A
The brick-oven pizzeria began
in the back of a cigar lounge
in 2005 before the full-service
restaurant opened in 2010. Chef
William Manzo has built his menu
based on simple, fresh foods. In
addition to its extensive pizza
menu, Federal Hill showcases its
creative burger options, like the
California Dream-in' Burger (with
guacamole, lettuce, tomato, onion,
garlic mayo and Monterey Jack
cheese for $11.75). There is also
the Dublin Burger with Guinnessinfused cheddar, caramelized
onion, Virginia slab bacon and field
greens ($12.50). The pizza menu
features an "al taglio" square
option in addition to 12- and 16inch Neapolitan-style crusts. The
Owner's Favorite is topped with
fresh mozz, red sauce, prosciutto,
mushrooms, goat cheese and basil
cooked well-done.

The two-unit pizzeria boasts
the area's only coal-fired pizza.
Providence makes use of the unique
flavor of the coal to also cook
its starters. House-favorite apps
include the Baked Goat Cheese
with roasted veggies and fire bread
($8) and Coal-Fired Wings with sea
salt, rosemary and roasted onion
($12 for a small order). Its madefrom-scratch dough, meatballs and
sauces accompany small-batch
mozzarella and specialty cheese
from local creameries. The pizza
menu features a dozen meaty and
vegetable pies. The Rocket is a
kicked up Margherita, finished with
arugula and Pecorino ($16). Locals
love the Clam, showcasing local
clams with rosemary, fingerling
potatoes, red onion, pancetta and
Parmigiano-Reggiano ($18).

Frankie and Kara Cecchinelli
opened their cozy pizza spot in
the heart of downtown Providence in 2013. Their concept is
simplicity, centered on Neapolitan-style pizza, small plates,
salads and craft cocktails. No
range, no microwave -
everything at Figidini's is cooked
in its wood-burning oven or
grill. Frankie is the restaurant's
pizza maker and his passion for

perfecting his dough is evident
in the crust. Guests can go with
staples like the Marinara and
Margherita or try the Sweet
Potato with goat cheese,
caramelized onion, cracked pepper and mozzarella ($16) or the
Chef's Creation ($24).
