Leave the Cannoli This 96-year-old restaurant on Federal Hill tries something new
By Jenny Currier
“Have you ever had spaghetti pie?” Jamie Antignano asks by way of introducing the latest craze at her restaurant: the spaghetti donut.
At only 25 years old, Antignano is now the “President of Pasta” and current owner of Angelo’s Civita Farnese, a staple in Providence that’s been serving Italian food for nearly a century. Known by most as “Angelo’s on the Hill,” it is now in its fourth generation of ownership within the same family, and Antignano bubbles with excitement whenever she discusses its history or its future. One of her hopes is to keep the traditional aspects of the menu that patrons have enjoyed for
years (“Some customers have been coming for 70 years!” she explains), while also introducing fresh, new items. It’s a delicate balance, but one such success happens to have its genesis in spaghetti pie.
“In Italian families like mine, we would take leftover spaghetti, mix it with sauce, cheese, and eggs – as a binder – and bake it as a way of eating leftovers. And I thought, why not use a donut tin instead of a baking dish?” Thus, the Spaghetti Donut was born.
The donuts are the size of a traditional cake donut and served with a side of warm marinara sauce (a “glaze,” if you will). They make the perfect appetizer, either for yourself or for the table to share. And since Angelo’s is a family restaurant, they thought it would be fun for the kids. “For them, we put a meatball in the middle of it,” Antignano says, which completes the spaghetti donut as a meal with protein.
“We like to get creative with it,” Antignano says. “We use a pink vodka sauce for Valentine’s Day; we’ve made pesto versions and mac-and-cheese. I wasn’t sure how it would be received, coming into such a well-established restaurant. But it’s really taken o!.” AngelosRI.com, @angelosri_

Ramen bowls and more at Y Noodle & Bar
Y Noodle & Bar, started by three friends with a passion for sharing food from their native regions of China – and whose names all start with Y – brings a blend of authentic Chinese and East Asian cuisine along with creative twists on classic dishes (Pork Belly Cotton Candy, anyone?) to West Fountain Street. Cocktails crafted from Yuzu – a grapefruit-like citrus fruit – are the stars of their drink list, including the Yullini (mixed with sparkling wine), Yuzu Daiquiri, and Blue Trip (with tequila, Blue Curaçao, and melon liqueur). While their ramen bowls tend to be crowd pleasers, dishes like the Shanghai PanFried Dumplings, authentic to the Jiangsu region of China, and bao o!erings set Y Noodle & Bar apart in Providence’s already vibrant Asian cuisine scene.

Ceremony’s zero-proof drinks are steeped in tradition
The ritual behind tea-making meets the Thayer Street nightlife scene at Ceremony, where their premium teas are elevated to zero-proof cocktails in complexity and creativity. Owner Michelle Cheng teamed up with a mixologist to “create a social space where you can enjoy a spirit-free beverage without sacrificing the craft drink experience.”
And that craft-like care is evident even before the first sip. For example, the Mr. Lawrence cocktail begins with an Oolong base, sweetened with housemade pineapple gum syrup, and poured over hand-cut ice. The Yame Kumo gets its frothy, cloud-like appearance from oat milk foam, which tops the matcha-based, citrusy, rice-flavored drink. Of course, you’re also always welcome to partake in their traditional tea ceremonies and taste the transitions between six separate steeps. CeremonyPVD.com
Seven Stars breathes new life into former Olga’s bakery
While Olga’s Cup & Saucer o"cially closed its doors in December, rest assured that the cozy spot on Point Street will be in good hands with Bill and Tracy Daugherty, who will open the fifth Seven Stars Bakery on the heels of their most recent in Cranston. “It wasn’t part of the plan to move that quickly to another location,” says Bill, “but the uniqueness of the opportunity was really exciting for our entire team.” Centrally located, the new spot has a lot of charm, patio space, and an ideal layout for expanding their catering service.
There’s still a lot of work in store, but Bill cites the enthusiasm and dedication of their bakers, who have made the process “seamless,” and anticipates a late-spring/mid-year opening. SevenStarsBakery.com
Where the River Meets the Sea How the wending career of Agil Nadirov led to a trendy Mediterranean restaurant
By Robert Isenberg
Agil Nadirov cheers in front of signature sign
When Agil Nadirov arrived in the United States, he had a grand total of $600 and no place to stay. It was January of 2012. He spent his first night on the New York subway system, huddled in the warm train car. When he landed his first gigs in Brooklyn – busser, dishwasher – Nadirov was overjoyed. He was one step closer to settling down, buying a house, and opening his own restaurant.
“I wanted to prove to myself and my family that I can do something,” says Nadirov, who now owns The River Social, a fashionable eatery and cocktail lounge next to Waterplace Park. Nadirov grew up comfortably in Azerbaijan; his father works in the oil industry and his mother is a physician. After working in New York’s restaurant sector, Nadirov stumbled into a bizarre opportunity: To work with his friend, selling remote-controlled helicopters at Providence Place Mall.
“I took the risk,” says Nadirov, who started hawking high-tech toys to passersby. He learned the art of retail and helped expand the business
– to nearly 20 locations. Incredibly, this kiosk is the reason he met his wife Rebecca, a Johnston native who bought an RC helicopter for her father. From there, he started a cell phone repair service, which also grew rapidly.
But Nadirov still dreamed of opening a restaurant. He had worked in kitchens in Azerbaijan, and he took pride in the kebabs he would make for his family. As he and his wife traveled across the US and sampled different menus, Nadirov imagined aggregating a range of culinary traditions.
“Most people understand Mediterranean cuisine,” he says. “All Mediterranean coastal countries, the food is kind of similar, but the ingredients are di!erent. They add di!erent spices and herbs. That’s why we bring all these countries together – we have Spanish grilled octopus, French duck breast, Turkish kebabs, Moroccan mezze plates.”
The River Social is a bright space, with ceiling-high windows overlooking the Providence River. The entrance is accessible only from a cobblestone walkway, just a short distance from the Exchange Street bridge. Nadirov credits his wife with the interior design – the elegant, papery lamps, the smooth wood furniture, and the lit-up sign, wreathed in grass, that reads, “Let’s Meet Here.” The restaurant has become a hotspot for brunches, parties, bridal showers, and innumerable Instagram selfies. Soon, the restaurant will host live music every Friday, plus reservation-only dinners during WaterFire lightings.
“The reason we [have] the name The River Social,” adds Nadirov, “it was right on the river, and when I came in here, I said, ‘This is the best place for people to get social.’ It doesn’t matter, winter or summer. Have a couple drinks, a couple bites, a nice entree, and get together. Just come, be social.”

While March might still feel chilly, warm weather and sunny days are just around the corner – so it’s time to start thinking about sprucing up your garden. “Flowers have a positive impact on people and increase their sense of wellbeing, increase landscape appeal, and foster a sense of pride and care in the community,” says Sara Craft of CITY & ESTATE GARDENER, a Providence-based landscape design and lawn care company. “But,” adds owner Tom Bennett, “seasonal color can bring joy to your home, yourself, and your community throughout all the seasons, not just spring.”
City & Estate Gardener offers seasonal planting services, from summer annuals to fall and holiday decor displays. To prep for beautiful summertime blooms, they can create customized and unique flower designs of bright and cheery annuals for your planters and garden beds. Then, as the leaves begin to turn, embrace the change of seasons with fall planting – traditional (mums, ornamental cabbages, kale) or festive (cornstalks, hay bales, pumpkins) – and add tulip, daffodil, and hyacinth bulbs in anticipation of next spring. As gray winter days give way, set up your free site evaluation with City & Estate Gardener to turn your landscape dreams into reality!

All untreated Ash trees in Rhode Island will be dead in 10-15 years,” Tom Morra, owner of T.F. MORRA TREE CARE, INC. warns. “It’s not a ‘maybe’ or ‘hope it will pass’ situation.” The Emerald Ash Borer is an invasive insect recently found in Providence and Tom explains that research shows that once discovered, this means the insect has already been present, reproducing within local Ash trees for three to five years. T.F. Morra o!ers two types of treatments to defend against Emerald Ash Borer and they perform this service between April and June. Ash trees have compound leaf structures with five to 11 lance-shaped leaflets, plus bark displaying tight diamond-shaped ridges (see picture above). Now is the time to prepare for spring’s approach and reserve your appointment with T.F. Morra for a comprehensive analysis and consultation. Their services include pruning, cabling, plant health care treatments, fertilization, soil aeration, and tree removal when necessary. They also handle treatment of other problem pests like hemlock wooly adelgid and fungal pathogens like anthracnose. T.F. Morra only treats as needed, and when they do, they always use organic products and/or the lowest impact treatments available. Why T.F. Morra? “We have a small company and we’re going to stay that way,” Tom says. His team really gets to know your trees and they become trusted advisers to help maintain their health. Call today to schedule your consultation. “
Our uplifting environment and special approach to Alzheimer’s and dementia care have created a quality of life you simply can’t get anyplace else.
