Self-described as “a unique bar & wood fire kitchen in the heart of Providence. Cooking with fire made us human. pizza.”

 

Frankie and Kara Cecchinelli, co-owners of Figidini, announced the closure on Thursday.

 

“The vision of Figidini Wood Fire Eatery evolved from the concept of simplicity. Both Frankie and Kara wanted to create a restaurant where the food was in its purest and freshest form. The decision to only have a wood fire oven and a wood fire grill as a cooking source allows the chefs to be creative but not to transform food into something that it shouldn’t be. Sourcing from local farms, local seafood, quality meats and local poultry with the right amount of seasoning and the combination of the wood fire, the flavor is like no other,” said the couple.
