    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!).

    We always have a great meal here! We started out with a large Caesar salad that my husband and I split. It was cold, crisp, delicious and more than enough for two people. We ate that along with the complementary basket of bread our waitress brought to the table right away. I can’t make myself order anything other than the Shrimp Scampi when I dine here because I love it so much! My husband got the Veal Marsala, which he said was very good, although the meat wasn’t as tender as he would’ve liked. The only downside was our very small table that was kind of hard to find places to put salad bowls, bread plates, salad, glasses of water and wine and the bread basket without stacking things on top of each other. The tables are also very close together so waiters/waitresses barely have walking space between tables. BUT…if they spaced things out more, they may not have had an open table for our last minute reservation, so I can’t complain too much about that! Always a great dining experience!

    We always enjoy our dinners at DiFabio’s. I think the Chicken Piccata and the bread are my faves. Our server was Cuban and was adorable. She was attentive and prompt.
