    Excellent per normal. Chicken Marsala and Lasagna were our main entrees. Very well priced. The service was a bit slow considering a light crowd. Also, $6 for a bottles Miller Lite seems extreme and the $8 cannoli dessert was a mistake. Extremely small portion (3) four inch cannolis that were average at best. Otherwise, great experience.

    The bruschetta is the best in the city. Menu prices provide a good value for the quality of the food. Always a lively atmosphere.

    Food was priced very well. It wasn’t the best Italian but a great value. The dining room was very, very loud and tables are quite close together. We had great service!

    We always enjoy going to DiFabio’s when we are in town. Great atmosphere, great service and amazing food. Tonight was no different. The filet was cooked perfectly and the chicken Parmesan melted in your mouth. Throw in the house wine, the lemoncello and they were the icing on the cake. We topped our evening with the flourless chocolate cake. YUM. Highly recommended if you like Italian food.
