Love DiPaolo’s! The service is always excellent, with friendly, professional servers. The atmosphere is upscale but still comfortable. They have a beautiful outdoor patio in the warmer months, sometimes with live music/DJ. But the best part is the food! The food is so delicious, HUGE portions, and prices are more than fair. Definitely a great restaurant to celebrate a special occasion, or to just have a delicious meal anytime.

Food was good. The buffet is a cheaper way to go if you want to sample different things $49.95 only on certain days. We went on Sunday so it worked out. They have a coat room to check your coats. Just let your server know. They accommodate large parties. I thinks it’s 2 bars. The lamb was so Delicious and the mash potatoes. The cheese cake was good and the strawberry ice cream.

We were running 1/2 hour late on a Saturday night yet they were still so welcoming. Mary was our server and she was amazing, attentive, kind and not overbearing. Then there was the food……. OMG!! The tomahawk for 2 was amazing. Cooked to perfection( very hard to do based on the size) and covered in what felt like pounds of crabmeat, scallops and shrimp!! The place is a must and I would and will be back for their food over and over!! We loved it!!

I’ve been here a few times and the food never disappoints. Everything was cooked perfectly, and our whole group really enjoyed the meal.
I gave the service 3 stars because the wait for our food was longer than expected. But to be fair, we were a big group on a Sunday, and it looked like they might have been short on staff.
The food itself was excellent — great quality and beautifully presented. Definitely recommend giving this place a try!

I’m usually “harsher” with my reviews on higher scale places, because I feel like a majority of these restaurants tend to fall short somewhere along the more expensive dining experience. Although we used a gift card (doesn’t cover tax or tip) I can safely say I was more than satisfied with my visit at Di Paolo’s.

I still recommend setting up a reservation even when we came around 3pm and, it was maybe at half capacity. I really enjoyed the casualness of some of the guests, and you can tell a lot of locals dine here despite being more on the pricey side. The dress code isn’t necessarily strict, but just show up looking decent and you won’t have an issue.

The drinks were pretty good, unique, and there was a lot to choose from. I was a fan of their mojitos and martinis, but it didn’t stand out compared to the rest of the experience. This only motivates me to come back to find something off the menu that I will enjoy more, so not a negative.

A huge reason why I’m writing this review is because I feel like you get a lot with their lunch entrees. My chicken parm came with spaghetti, salad and dessert for less than 30 bucks. We also ordered the arancini and honestly thank you for making them that well. I haven’t had good arancini yet and not for a lack of trying. The portion on the meal itself was huge and while I wasn’t a fan of their Caesar salad, there is plenty of other ones to choose from. The tiramisu really completed the meal as well. Not to mention the bread they gave us with their tomato pie. Di Paolo’s, I was unaware of your game.

The service was awesome and I forget our waitresses name but, she was great and hope to have her again. All in all we paid just over 100 dollars for three drinks, an appetizer and two lunch entrees. Definitely not the cheapest but if you’re looking for a great spot for dates, family diners, etc. look no further.

This restaurant is solid. Our party of four ordered the gnocchi with meatballs, crab cakes, and the rack of lamb. Everyone enjoyed their meals, but the standout was definitely the rack of lamb, which was tender, well seasoned, and generously portioned. I opted for the crème brûlée for dessert, and it did not disappoint. Armond was our server, and he was both attentive and genuinely engaging in conversation. I will absolutely be returning.

If you have been waiting for a place to go, that will give you the “WOW” factor, this Italian Restaurant – Is the place to go!

I have seen a lot of buzz about this place on social media and FB. They have great specials. People said their portions are awesome and food is terrific.

They were not lying!

Took about 55 min to get there. Made a reservation on line before just in case.

We were greeted with a smile and immediately were seated. We had a long drive so we knew what we wanted to order.

We got from the $29.99 special – Chicken Cutlet Parmesan and Gnocchi specials. We got our tomato pie and bread with a wedge salad (bacon/blue cheese) and Italian wedding soup.

Everything was hot and flavorful. Didn’t need to add salt! (some places hold off on the salt now a days). The Chicken Parm finally someone didn’t pound the crap out of it to paper thin! It was a perfect thickness, juicy and tender! Best Chicken Parm I have had in years! (except for my own lol!)

The “gravy” as I call it, true Italian. The Gnocchi came with meatballs, that made me feel like I was at my grandma’s in Brooklyn!

As time passed and we were eating this delicious meal, the wait staff was extremely attentive and happy! This is a family run business and you can tell.

We had the absolute pleasure to meet some of the relatives and family who work there and have other businesses in the neighborhood. I swear we got adopted by them that evening haha!

They treated us like Family! We were talking about our kids and exchanged photos (via cell lol)- was a great time!

The deserts were so good! The Tiramisu was made in house and was delicious. The Rum cake, well you can get drunk from it haha!

We also had a couple of their drink specials, also made to perfection.

We were there legit – 2-3 hours. When is the last time you spent that much time enjoying company and food at a restaurant? I can’t remember.

We left with a bag full of leftovers, a full belly and new friends!

It’s a hike to get there, but trust me. It’s worth the wait!

We will be back to try their buffet! I wish I could give 6 stars!

Came here for lunch and although my friend and I didn’t have reservations we were able to get a seat for the buffet. (it was Sunday around 1145am.)

I was taken back by the many options and variety. The food was tasty and hot. I literally tried a lil bit of everything.

The service was great and the atmosphere was pleasant. Nice variety of patroons. With good prices.

I would 1000000% recommend this place. I was stuffed and satisfied in a good way.

My husband surprised me for our anniversary and took me out to Di Paolo’s Italian Restaurant for dinner. He made a reservation and when we got there we were taken to our table and were seated immediately. We only live 10 minutes away from the restaurant and this was our 1st experience. I had an amazing time. We both ordered from the Holiday 3 course menu. I had the romaine Caesar salad, chicken parm with spaghetti and cheesecake. Our server even brought out a candle and some fruit with cannoli dip and wished us a happy anniversary. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. Hope to be back real soon.
