The food flight, now on the Hill
Blackstone started with a question: why does ordering mean picking just one thing? That answer found a home on Atwells Avenue, the heart of Providence's Federal Hill, complete with a scratch kitchen and a cheese wheel we set on fire at your table.
Gian & Bryanna Ranucci
Rhode Island natives with a soft spot for European cafe culture, Gian and Bryanna built Blackstone around the food flight, their answer to every "what should we get?" argument. On Federal Hill they leaned into the theatre of it, with the tableside cheese wheel as the centerpiece.
Everything is prepped to order from a scratch kitchen. The menu keeps growing because the regulars keep asking, and we keep saying yes.

One idea, three rooms
The Hill is part of the Blackstone family, alongside the original in Coventry and Putnam. Each room has its own personality; the flight boards travel everywhere.
