A wide variety of plants can be found, including majestic 40′ tall palms, carnivorous plants, 10′ cacti, and succulents. The rose maze is in bloom from June to September and the outdoor perennial gardens bloom with color from spring to fall. Visit the calendar to view special events, workshops, and other activities.

After the hot summer, I think we’re all looking forward to the cooler months. One thing that gets people excited (more than their pumpkin-flavored lattes) is the changing of the leaves around this time.

Summer

If there was ever a summer to be in Providence, this is it. The world's biggest soccer tournament landed in New England, America celebrated its 250th, Rhode Island Pride hit 50, and the city was filled with energy.

In 1971, Luigi and Antonette Battista had an idea that they could build a popular restaurant if they treated their guests to the same delicious family recipes they had enjoyed all their lives. They opened a small pizzeria in Johnston. Their focus was simple - make delicious Italian food using the best and freshest ingredients available, offer true value and provide guests with friendly, welcoming service. Some forty seven years later, their children Lu-Ann, Loreen and Ralph along with their spouses still hold fast to that simple philosophy. Thank you for dining with us!
