    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!

    We enjoyed a delightful meal on the front porch, enjoying the outside ambience on a clear Fall evening. Our waiter was ON IT from the get-go, never missed a beat and provided our meals on a very timely basis. Good food; Good price; Good service: Makes one appreciate just how hard that can be. Thanks!

    I love this place. Small italian restaurant with great food and a fabulous staff. I was able to yell my thanks into the kitchen staff as the area is open to view upon arriving and leaving. The Lemon Drop is really good too.

    We come here occasionally and always enjoy our visits. Last night wasn't quite as good as usual. The steak was cooked well, but as a filet, it seemed a bit off. The side of squash and zucchini, while good, left you wanting something more. My wife has Chicken Piccata. She enjoyed it, but the large mound of mushrooms on top of it were unusual. The Chocolate Flourless cake was delicious. Service was great.
