Amazing food and friendly, attentive staff
Always a great place to eat. Their Gluten Free options are on point!!!
Love the food at DiFabio's and prices are very fair. Nice small wine list so you don't go insane trying to figure out what to order. They also have a great selection of desserts.
Excellent steak. Great service. Loved the little joint!
Great Service! Calamari was very tender and tasty. The Caesar salad was great and the entries were excellent, just the right amount.
Excellent Food and Service! Intimate setting! Love love love this place! My favorite Italian restaurant in Louisville.
This was our first visit to this restaurant after having driven by it on numerous occasions. The team here have a wonderful vibe and we appreciated the excellent service and supeb food. We will return!!
The food was delicious, the service outstanding and the atmosphere charming! We had a wonderful time, and will definitely be back! Highly recommend, some of the best Italian we've had!
Great food and service. Don’t let them sit you in the back room. Very noisy with the table of 8 that was next to us.
Loved this place. Will go back
Everything was perfect, our server was very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was great and the food was great also my husband and I had a very enjoyable time. We will certainly go back again.
The food is very good and they serve a very nice house wine. We will return before long.
First time here, was a Valentine’s Day celebration. Cute place with some out of date Italian decor (think mid-90s, a little bit of repainting and redo of the hanging decor would go a long way here). The Covid regulations were being followed sufficiently. BF had the chicken Marsala, which was good if a bit over sauced. The shrimp scampi over angel hair (what I had) was excellent, perfect portion size for the price. I was a bit taken aback with no table side bread offering, seems like a low cost option that the place could offer to their patrons- especially with the abundance of local bakeries in the area. Escargot appetizer was good, although not enough bread accompanied it to soak up the sauce. (Again, a need for bread!). All in all, a good meal - but not spectacular. Perhaps my expectations were too high.
Food was great overall. Great flavor to all the dishes! I highly recommend the escargot, it was our first time trying it and it was fantastic. Can’t beat the prices. My only gripe was lipstick stains on my glass and they didn’t have fresh parmesan cheese, instead gave me and my date little packets of the powdered cheese. Other than that, I’ll definitely be going back.
Excellent food and service- great value!
We love anything with their pink sauce
We love this place. Low key, not too expensive, can have a really nice meal with a few drinks for $100. LOVE the chicken Marsala.
Defabio Casabella's never disappoints, whether it is for a special occasion or quite dinner the food is always awesome and at a great value! The staff is always friendly, knowledgeable, attentive and helpful. This is a hidden gem on Frankfort Avenue. Some of the best Italian food in the city! You can not go wrong with Defabio Casabella's!
Food was great, service was great and atmosphere was great... we will definitely be back!
Italian comfort food at a fair price. Never disappoints, and at a fraction of the price you would pay across the street.
we had a great time on the outdoor patio. food was delicious, service was outstanding, and it was quiet and cozy--just what we were looking for.
The best Italian I’ve had in Louisville and always great service
New Year’s Eve dinner and it was great. We love DiFabio’s and brought friends with us and we had a great time. Food was outstanding again.
Great food!!

Always a wonderful experience. Cozy atmosphere and friendly staff. Authentic Italian food and drink.
Following Christmas Eve Mass we had a wonderful dinner at DiFabio’s. The calamari and chicken marsala were great, as was the spaghetti and meatballs. We enjoy the inviting setting, and friendly staff.
Thank you!
Homemade quality Italian food, family friendly atmosphere, friendly service.
Our favorite restaurant! Delicious food and wonderful experience every time we go. Outside seating had heaters and the temperature was just right. Love the patio seating all year round. Highly recommended
Nice menu, good food, great prices for food and wine.
Solid Italian food. Very reasonable price. Expected a little more "upscale" However, we were satisfied with the experience and would come back with kids.
One of my favorite places. Great food. Amazing ambiance. Fantastic place for a cozy date night.
Fantastic service. Great food. Good house wine. Everything was super!
Good food, nice people fair price atmosphere needs updating.
I ordered my filet medium. It came out well done so they offered to make it again....10-15 minutes later a new steak came out and it was more rare than anything. I wasn’t going to send it back a second time. We were there for our anniversary so I sat and watched my wife eat, and then she had to watch me eat.
Service was great though.
Very nice restaurant with a very professional staff
Great food and atmosphere, so great experience overall!
DiFabio's never disappoints. We sat outside on a cold night, and there were plenty of heating lamps that made it comfortable. Our server was excellent -- intuitive and attentive.
Good food; good service!!
How could you not love this place? Great food, good service and great value.....
We had dinner there Sunday night. The veal parm was excellent. The chicken piccata delicious and the nightly special wonderful......
The wine list is limited but full bar can mix any drink......
We need to support DiFabios and keep this great place open.
Let’s all do our part and eat out as often as we can....
