One door, two rooms
Out front, a Brooklyn-style pizzeria: dough made daily, pies out of the oven all day, calzones, subs, hot weiners, and a Friday board with snail salad and chowder. In back, a full martini bar that runs until close.

The full menu
Dirty, dry, espresso, straight up. Sit at the bar and nobody rushes you out, whether or not you ordered a pie.
The barThe nights
No cover on any of them. No drink minimum either.
Grab the mic or watch somebody else find out they cannot sing. Either way the bar is open.
Providence comics working out new material. Sign-ups at 7:30pm, show at 8:30pm, in the back room.
The loud one. Late, packed, and free. Bring the whole table.
The neighborhood
Italian families started arriving on the Hill in the 1890s, and Atwells Avenue became the street they built. Bakeries, butchers, salumerias, red sauce, espresso, and an arch over the road with a bronze pinecone hanging from it. Everybody calls it the pineapple. It is a pinecone, and it means welcome.
Palermo's sits up the avenue from that arch, at 298. Same street, same idea, still open late.
