Why Providence is a Great Place to Study Culinary

Providence bears the unique distinction of having more restaurants per capita than any other major American city. The city is also the proud home of the inventor of the popular wood-fire grilled pizza. Italian food is a big deal here, though other ethnic cuisines are gaining popularity as well. Additionally, the Federal Hill neighborhood has garnered national attention as a premiere dining destination.
