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.

    We were celebrating our daughter's 50th birthday and couldn't have selected a better place to celebrate. As soon as we arrived, we were greeted by a very friendly hostess who escorted us to our table for ten. Immediately we were greeted by our waiter Elvis who was the best. He was always on top of everything. We brought a cake in from the outside and had candles "50th" to be placed on the cake, but before that could be done Elvis informed me that one of the candles had been broken at which time he went across the street to try and replace it with no luck. Not a big deal but it was to us because of his tenacity. Would highly recommend a night of pour delectable food and atmosphere and the bar was on spot! We will go again often!
