Wingman Metrics
The wine list at Camille's arrives with the weight of a restaurant that actually cares — 80-plus bottles, a sommelier on the floor, and prices that climb all the way to $995 if you're feeling reckless. It's a special-occasion list built for the room: candlelit, formal, the kind of place where someone's about to get proposed to at the next table. The ambition is real, even if the markup math occasionally makes you wince.
The posted list reaches across Italian regions and includes both white and red Burgundy. Antinori Tignanello 2020 is $365/bottle—a deliberate splurge. Our move: choose your budget first, then explore the Italian glass selections if the bottle prices are beyond it.
Start with Feudi di San Gregorio Falanghina 2023 at $12/glass, or Umani Ronchi “Jorio” Montepulciano d’Abruzzo 2021 at $11/glass. Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio 2024 is $17/glass. These are posted menu prices; confirm the current vintage when ordering.
Umani Ronchi “Jorio” Montepulciano d’Abruzzo 2021 — $11/glass
Our budget-minded red pick from the posted glass list. Start with one glass before committing the table to a bottle.
2022 Livio Felluga Pinot Grigio Colli Orientali del Friuli
Most people see 'Pinot Grigio' on a menu and mentally check out, but Livio Felluga's Colli Orientali bottling is a completely different animal from the mass-market stuff — structured, mineral, with actual character. It's the sleeper pick on a list full of red-meat-and-Cab crowd-pleasers.
Antinori Tignanello 2020
Skip this if you want an inexpensive bottle. The posted price is $365/bottle; choose a glass of Jorio at $11 instead.
2021 Duckhorn Merlot Napa Valley Three Palms Vineyard + Center Cut Brandt Filet Mignon
Three Palms is one of Napa's most celebrated Merlot sites — plush, structured, with enough dark fruit and grip to go toe-to-toe with a center-cut filet without either one bullying the other. It's the obvious move, and sometimes the obvious move is obvious for a reason.
The Bottom Line
Camille’s offers plenty to explore, but set your wine budget before opening the list. Our starting order is Jorio Montepulciano at $11/glass or Feudi di San Gregorio Falanghina at $12/glass. Save Tignanello for a planned splurge.

Mare Rooftop is a great place to watch the sunset with a cold glass of Whispering Angel — and that's about the ceiling of its wine ambition. If you're here for the view and the vibe, lean into it; if you showed up hoping for a thoughtful wine experience, you're in the wrong place.

Sarto's wine list is a credible, Italy-focused program that earns its place in a serious Italian kitchen — just go in knowing the markups lean steep and the list doesn't reward wandering outside the boot. Order the Vermentino, eat the pasta, and you'll leave happy.

Joe Marzilli's Old Canteen is a Providence legend for its food and its history, not its wine list — which reads like something assembled in 1994 and never reconsidered. Come for the veal cutlet and the nostalgia, but don't let the wine list talk you into spending $48 on a Kendall-Jackson.

East Side · Providence · American Brasserie (French-Influenced)
Red Stripe isn't a wine destination, but it's not pretending to be one either. Fair prices on recognizable bottles in a lively room that actually makes you want to stay for another glass — that's a respectable thing to get right.

Downtown Providence · Providence · Upscale American Steakhouse with Seafood
The Capital Grille Providence is a well-oiled machine with a wine program that earns more respect than most chains deserve — the depth is real, the staff knows the list, and the Generous Pour event is a legit reason to show up. The markups are steep and the soul is corporate, but if someone else is expensing dinner, you could do a lot worse.

Hemenway's is the rare seafood institution that earns its reputation on the wine side too — the sommelier presence is real, the French whites are well-chosen, and the list is built with actual intention. The markups are real and the BTG program could use more energy, but if you're eating raw bar in Providence, you could do a lot worse than starting with a glass of Fèvre Chablis here.

Ciao Bruto is running one of the smallest and most coherent wine lists in wine country, which is either audacious or brilliant — probably both. If you want a 200-label deep-dive, go somewhere else. If you want eight smart picks at prices that won't make you wince, this is the move in Healdsburg.

Geyserville · Healdsburg · Italian
Diavola earns its Wild Card badge because it's a wood-fired pizza joint that punches well above its weight on wine — sommelier on staff, regional focus, and a setting that practically demands you order a second glass. We can't give you the bottle-by-bottle breakdown until we get eyes on a current list, but the bones here are good enough to say: don't just order a beer and move on.

Ca'Bianca is a genuinely lovely place to eat, and if the food lives up to its reputation for house-made pasta and classic Italian technique, a bottle of something from the list is absolutely worth ordering. We just can't tell you exactly which bottle to order yet — the wine program's specifics aren't publicly documented well enough for us to make a confident call. When in doubt, ask your server what's local and what they're excited about, and go from there.
