About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for groups
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 got the Buffett and there is plenty to choose from and it was very good. It is pricey but the food as mentioned is very good. The AC seemed to be not working well so it was pretty warm. Other than that, we will be back.

    I LOVE this restaurant. I took my boyfriend for his birthday last night and we loved our meals. I ordered fettuccine alfredo with chicken, and he ordered spaghetti and meatballs. The only thing that would have made it better… is if we were sitting in a garden in Italy. Hands down, the best Italian food I’ve had in my life. The craft that goes into the home made pasta is amazing. I can’t wait to have my leftovers tonight, honestly!

    There were 7 people in our party. We were immediately greeted by our server who did a great job throughout our lunch. The salads that came with our lunch was fresh and plentiful. We ordered from the 3-course lunch menu and everyone was more than satisfied with their choices. The food was brought to us hot and quite plentiful. We all had food to take home due to the large portions. All of us had dessert that each enjoyed. We’ll definitely be going back.

    Our lunch was outstanding. The ladies had Chicken Parm, Fried shrimp and Linguini with clams. The linguini was excellent I would get it again.

    We went for the lunch special for June- 3 courses for $20. It was fantastic! This was our second time having this special, and this time we brought friends with us. All four of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals!

    I have dined here several times and never a bad meal. I also end up bringing leftovers home since the portions are big.
