Please call the restaurant at 203-754-5111 for additional availability.The legendary history of Diorio Restaurant began in the 1920s. The late Rocco Diorio was responsible for the fine traditional food and many lasting memories for most of the people in the greater Waterbury area. The restaurant was closed in 1980 and reopened in 1991 after total restoration to its original splendor. The legend continues as we remain true to those endearing memories. We have the original marble bar, over-sized mahogany bankers booths, tin ceiling, and the most impressive acid-etched mirrors displaying historical Waterbury. Diorio Restaurant has once again reclaimed its reputation as Waterbury's finest.

The beauty of eating at Max Downtown is the consistency of the experience. You can be absent from Max Downtown for months yet the next time you visit the service, quality of food and familiarity of the staff is as if you were part of their daily routine. I can’t say enough about how the service staff welcomes me and my guests every time I visit. In addition the complimentary valet staff is top shelf . Thank you Steve and team for making Max Downtown a place I can count on.

Iron Chef is an excellent restaurant and when we leave we are already planning our return visit. The steaks are perfection. We don’t think you can find a better steak, anywhere.
