At Di Paolo’s our journey began with our beloved grandparents, Maria & Albert Di Paolo, who humbly opened a family pizzeria and small grocery store known as Italian Kitchen. As the aroma of freshly baked pizzas and the taste of homemade sauce filled the air, they, along with our father, Michael Di Paolo, expanded, adding more seating to accommodate our growing clientele. Before long, the bustling atmosphere and the buzz of the satisfied customers prompted them to evolve into a full-fledged restaurant where families and friends could gather to enjoy well portioned Abruzzese meals and lively conversation, while being entertained with live music throughout the restaurant. What truly sets us apart is our commitment to treating every guest like family. Whether you’re a regular patron or visiting us for the first time, you’ll always be welcomed with open arms and genuine warmth. Come join us at Di Paolo’s, where good food and good company come together to create unforgettable memories.

    The service, food and everything was incredible! Our only complaint is how close the 2 top tables were together. We were right on top of the other 2 couples on both sides of us. Even the staff had a tough time cleaning the tables & bringing items. We could hear every word they said and it just was not an intimate set up.

    Nothing gets better than this. This experience is one of a kind. The most awesome cuts off beef prepared exactly right and beautifully displayed. The sauces that come with compliment each variety of steak. Starting with the Prince Edward Island Ousters was a great decision . Ending with a delicious Chocolate Bananas Foster was perfect. Perfect date night with my handsome husband!

    1. Our drinks were definitely above average, I especially loved my "Lady Grey". 2. Calamari app, nothing special here. 3. Delicious entrees: salmon, short ribs and in particular, the special of the evening, a whitefish, were all impressive. 4. The service from Erin was outstanding, friendly and attentive without going overboard. 5. Parking garage is right behind the building. 6. Ambiance was sleek modern/quiet, although the dining room filled up by the time we left. Recommend!
