Crime and Cuisine on Federal Hill

Przegląd

A food tour with a felonious twist!

The Federal Hill neighborhood of Providence is one of its hottest destinations, home to some of the best Italian food in the world. This tour will give you a smorgasbord of its best bites and drinks, from fine wines to family recipes passed down through generations. Come hungry!

Every guest will also get a memento from their time on the Hill to take home with them. Spoiler alert: it's delicious!

The Hill was also home to some historic characters who dabbled on the wrong side of the law. Follow the intrigue of State v. Patriarca, when a future mayor took on a mob boss; learn about the corruption which brought Rhode Island's banking system to its knees in the '90s, and about a raid on an illegal dice game that sent a Providence Police Officer through a second-story window.

Guests under 21 will not be served alcohol on this tour.

This food and historical tour usually takes place on Saturdays during the warm season in Providence's Federal Hill area. This year the tour will run until the Saturday after Thanksgiving. The focus of the tour is to learn about the mafia personalities of the 20th century in the Italian section of Providence (Federal Hill). Pat was our guide and she gave a great summary of the highlights related to Raymond Petrarca and his relationship with the crime lords in the country, not only New England but also along the East Coast, Midwest and West Coast. Another personality that was highlighted was Buddy Cianci, two times mayor of Providence and larger-than-life figure in Rhode Island history. The tour made a stop at five restaurants for a culinary taste of the Hill...highlighting homemade fresh pasta dishes, meatballs, pizza, eggplant appetizers, mortadella and cheese rolls and dessert. All delicious. The tour runs for about 3.5 hours for the historical and gastronomical experience. Very nice for those into history, mafia and crime.

We took the tour on a very hot day and the tour guide offered options for taking our time and staying in the shade. The food was excellent. The information was very interesting and complete. But there was something that made us uncomfortable. At one of the food stops we were joined by a man who said he was Raymond Patriarca's grandson and Raymond Junior's nephew. That is not possible because Raymond Patriarca had only one child. This man was loud and crude and told a lot of stories about being with the mob, but I think he was a con man. He was with the group for an hour or two and mostly hung around the younger women in the tour. He seemed to be friends with the tour guide and acted kind of like a second tour guide. I just think it was unprofessional and I wish we could have had just the official guide and a more peaceful tour.

Hi Beth- Thank you for joining us last summer. I spoke with the tour guide about what had happened, and we apologize for the misunderstanding. The man you reference was not the guide's friend, but someone that recognized her and was enthused about the subject of the tour. We will make sure that we don't have any unsanctioned tour guides in the future. We apologize for the discomfort!

Kate was excellent but wish there was more characters in the presentation. There has to be more about the corruption and acts of the wise guys.
