About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
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.

    The food and service were excellent. It's a bit on the pricy side.

    We have been to this restaurant many times before and we met friends of ours there this time who have also been here many times. We always enjoy the food we order and plenty to take home for another meal.

    Food is excellent! Prices are unusually high. $49 Thursday buffet is actually a great deal. I didn’t think I could eat that much. I was wrong. Location not great, but safe.

    Excellent food and service; our only issue was the sheer amount of delicious food we were expected to eat. My wife and I could have easily made a meal on the antipasto appetizer, the salad and the assorted bread and tomato pie prior to our main course. Both our meals were delicious but we ended up taking huge portions home with us. We live in Virginia and were just passing through the area but we would go out of our way to make sure we visited again!

    I've dined here on several occasions prior but this evenings meal was exqisite- to the point that I was pretty full by the time the main course came Elvis was the waiter and he was very attentive and did a phenomenal job at ensuring we didn't need anything. The seafood fradiavolo is clearly a dish for 3 or more people- full of seafood and piping hot linguine! As always this place hit the spot- I love it here.
