    We always enjoy going to DiFabio’s when we are in town. Great atmosphere, great service and amazing food. Tonight was no different. The filet was cooked perfectly and the chicken Parmesan melted in your mouth. Throw in the house wine, the lemoncello and they were the icing on the cake. We topped our evening with the flourless chocolate cake. YUM. Highly recommended if you like Italian food.

    My husband and I visited on Valentines night. They had reservations to capacity all night, but the food and drinks still came out with no delay. The stuffed mushrooms were amazing and our entrées were (chicken Marsala and a filet with Alfredo pasta) cooked to perfection. We loved the music and location. The service was superb and everyone was so nice. We will definitely visit again!

    We had an excellent meal. Service was very good, food was excellent, we had a nice table in the back room. My wife had the Filet and I had scrimp scampi. Both were very good. The filet was tasty and very tender and cooked right. The scampi was good, could have used another scrimp or two (had 5). I thought it could use a little more garlic. We had the stuffed mushrooms and calamari for appetizers. I will say, these may have been the best tasting and the best cooked calamari I have had. They were cooked perfect and were very tasty. My wife loved the stuffed mushrooms. We had the chocolate torte and the tiramisu. They were delicious. I thought the lady fingers on the tiramisu were a bit soggy but the taste was still very good. The chocolate torte was, wonderful as chocolate always is. A very nice valentines day dinner. Will definitly visit more often.

    this is a neighborhood gem! It may be a smaller dining room, but the service and food are very good (the pasta with pesto and salmon outstanding!).
