PROVIDENCE, RI, October 4, 2012—The Federal Hill House recently announced the list of restaurants and caterers taking part in this year’s Taste of the Hill, the organization’s 10th annual fundraising event. The event will be held from 6:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. on Wednesday, October 24, 2012 at the Culinary Arts Museum at Johnson & Wales, Harborside Campus, Providence. Many of Federal Hill’s finest restaurants, caterers, and bakeries will take part in the event.

“Taste of the Hill gives attendees a chance to sample food from some of Rhode Island’s best restaurants,” says Nina Pande, executive director, Federal Hill House. “Hundreds of people who love good food include Taste of the Hill on their “go to” list of events. This year’s special guest honoree is Steven Costantino, Executive Secretary of Health and Human Services, State of Rhode Island. The proceeds from Taste of the Hill help fund our programs.”

New to this year’s list of vendors is Grey Sail Brewing, a new craft microbrewery located in Westerly. It sells beers through more than 100 bars and liquor stores in Rhode Island and eastern Connecticut. It features a Leaning Chimney Smoked Porter and a light, easy-to-drink Flagship Ale—a robust porter that displays coffee and chocolate characteristics and a bit of peat smokiness. Also new is Tadka India, which offers authentic Northern and Southern Indian food, from exquisitely prepared curries to succulent kebabs, Chicken Tikka Masala, and Lamb Vindaloo. Returning favorites to Taste of the Hill include Siena, Blue Grotto, Angelo’s Civita Farnese, Venda Ravioli, and Narragansett Creamery.
