Sometimes we all find ourselves longing for a vacation out of the country. There is so much to be seen, touched, and tasted in other parts of the world, but it’s not always easy to hop on a plane and fly somewhere new. Luckily, you can sometimes find a little slice of another country right here in America, and we think the Little Italy of Providence, Federal Hill, is just that.

Federal Hill is thought of as one of the top culinary destinations in the country. When you see this pinecone arch, you'll know you've landed in the mecca of Italian food.
