Amazing catered Easter Dinner for our family of 12 complete with the traditional Easter pies one savory and one sweet! The food is fabulous, Chef Rafael is superb and we are never disappointed! The restaurant ambiance is delightful. Highly recommend!

The food sucked. It felt like there was no seasoning whatsoever. Additionally, there was too much tomato sauce and water inside the actual dish. The batter was all mushy. However the waiters and theme of the restaurant was very nice. But again the food was not even the smallest bit tasty, and our whole group of over 5 people thought so.

Very satisfying meal and great service at an old school Italian red sauce establishment. The fried calamari was golden brown and crisp. The chicken Parm was great and the cavatelli with sausage and broccoli rabe had a nice denseness to the pasta and the sausage was really moist and flavorful. The Italian meatloaf was also a really great dish, with mozzarella and mushrooms on the inside providing contrasting texture. Desserts were a hit too, though I didn't eat any as I was abstaining from sweets for Lent. The dining party really enjoyed the almond cake and tiramisu, but found the Limoncello cake to be good but somewhat cloyingly sweet with an aftertaste. The ambiance is quirky, as it appears to be a boutique of women's clothing items but there's tables all around. Fun for both the eyes and taste buds. Service was great. Our water was always filled and the food came out promptly. With such large portion sizes, we ended up taking a fair bit of the food home. I think I'll have enough for two extra meals.

Beautiful place and delicious food! I love coming here for special occasions. It's BYOB and the plates are large enough to share. Fast and friendly service, def recommend it.

Authentic home style Italian cooking. Huge portions, plenty of great tasting food. Family owned with that special touch that makes you feel comfortable. Service is friendly and courteous. Antiques add a wonderful touch.

After visiting this restaurant twice and checking its website and Google for working hours, when we arrived at 8:30 p.m., they were closed. Due to my wasted time, I have to give them 1 star and will never come back again or recommend it to anyone whose time is invaluable.

Boisterous and friendly atmosphere with great Italian food. All while surrounded by vintage fashion—for sale. It’s totally one of a kind. We had a terrific time and will be back. Make a reservation and allow time to find parking. It took us about 5 minutes to find a spot on a Sunday.

We love DiPalma’s. We came for Valentine’s Day. They had rose petals out on the tables and Sinatra was playing. The atmosphere here is already whimsical and romantic but the service was on another level. The staff was so happy and attentive and the food came out great. Compliments to the host Maria who went out of her way to make sure everyone had a great time. Thank god we have this place in town! Thanks for making our night special and memorable.

The service was friendly. It seems expensive (~$28 a dish) until you see the portion size. The food was good too. We will be returning to try other dishes.
