Providence

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.

Cranston

About the restaurant

All the way back in 1955, the four sons of an immigrant millworker decided to take a chance. They opened a restaurant on Cumberland’s bustling Mendon Road with nothing to their names other than a shared dream and vision - fresh and local ingredients, prompt and friendly service, all to be had at an unbeatable value. They developed a motto and never steered away from it – “If you are not proud of it, do not serve it!”. That restaurant was the original Chelo’s Hometown Bar & Grille, and that motto can be found hanging in each of our kitchens to this very day.
While times change, our values don’t. As a third generation, family owned and operated company, our food is still made fresh in our commissary 7 days a week and delivered to each of our locations daily . Same ingredients, same recipes, same classic food that Rhode Islanders have come to know and love since our grandfathers first opened our doors nearly 70 years ago!
