    What a great meal. Reminded us of an authentic Italian meal we had in Sorrento, Italy. Service and drjnks were also a delight.

    DiFabio's is always dependable for great food and great value. Last night I had the DiFabio filet. The filet was perfectly grilled and served with a red wine reduction and sautéed vegetables. My dining partners had a filet with pasta and shrimp scampi. They enjoyed their meals as well. I highly recommend DiFabio's.

    This is a very energetic place. I love the democracy of the clientele-all walks. The only negative is crowdedness and sound level. Food is always fantastic

    We always have a fabulous experience when we visit DiFabio’s — there’s a reason it’s our go-to when we host anyone from out of town or are showing friends to a new place. We brought our 4th first-timers in and of course they were every bit as pleased as we always are. The food is spectacular, the setting is cozy and simple in the best way, and the service — Abby D is the best! We look forward to coming in and seeing her. Last night was no different. She provided timely, top-tier, and friendly service. We hope to visit and celebrate many more occasions to come — especially during the fall/winter season!
