First time at this restaurant- so impressed. Would rate it no. 1 for restaurants in Providence- and we have been to most. Food was outstanding, ESP the calamari and mussels for appetizers, and the fresh made pasta , omg - ESP the black tagliatelle nere - to die for. Our waitress Suzzanne was the best , friendly , helpful and... More

On our tour of Federal Hill we'd been given several options for thin crust pizza but chose Zooma because it was the first one we came to. Pretty interior, great affordable lunch options, and really good food. We split a pizza for lunch along with a generous portioned salad, and were out for a song. More

Visited on a Saturday night, and was delighted. The atmosphere is more formal and upscale than the picture suggests. Noise was a hum, but I could hear across the table easily without shouting. Lighting subdued, and everything was well done. Pasta was great, seafood was great, portions large, and a good selection of wines at a wide range of pricepoints.... More

Zooma is a good spot for casual dining efore heading out for a night on the town. The bar scene and live music bring a great energy to the place, and you can be comfortable in jeans or something more trendy. Their wood-fired oven pizzas highlight an otherwise typical menu offering the usual Italian fare. We found their pasta and... More

This was sooooooooooooooooo good! I ordered the Sacchettini di funghi - fantastic little pasta packets filled with mushrooms in an amazing garlicky tomato sauce. My dinner companion ordered Tagliatelle nere ai gamberi, shrimp and black ribbon pasta that she said was delicious. We both were full with food on the plate, but ate every bite just because it tasted so... More
