We ate here a few weeks ago and returned quickly last week with some friends. The Gnocchi Bread Bowl is everything it is hyped up to be. The Escarole, Beans, and Sauage is the best I have had and we order it at every restaurant that has it. Their Meatballs are also fabulous as advertised. The service was very good both visits. Evey pasta dish we tried was fresh, homemade, and delicious. The only negative were the desserts were not good. The Tiramisu did not taste like any I have ever tried, which is many, and was terrible. But we just skipped dessert on the second visit. The cocktails are very good as well and $20 corkage fee is standard. I highly recommend DiAnoia's Eatery. I will be going back as soon as I am able for a great meal with fair prices

This was my first time here and we came for a birthday celebration, and we were not disappointed. The seating is tight but you have room. You're not all smashed together.The waitress was very friendly and knowledgeable of the menu items and even gave a good recommendation to try the Gnocchi. The meatballs were amazing and those were the biggest Gnocchi I have tried. Portion sizes and presentation were great. The sauce was really good too.I know that we will be back here to try different menu options.And a special shout out to Mandy for making our night extra special! What you did for us, were are beyond greatful for! Thank you again!*Parking for this location is on the street or open lots. You may have to walk to get here so plan accordingly to weather.*

Always a five star option for us! Love trying new things! You do do you have to order yourself at the counter and they bring it to your table. Food comes out super quick and cocktails are amazing!! We tried the cauliflower today and we will be back for that again! The porchetta is an absolute favorite and hard to find around here!espresso

Excellent, very casual, restaurant with very authentic Italian food. Our house salads were excellent as were the gnocchi with meatballs and a pasta dish (forgot the name) with a red sauce that had Italian sausage in it. We were running late, called to let them know (yes, another accident on the parkway) but made it a minute or so before we said to expect us. We were greeted like we were regulars with a happy "Glad you made it." Good service.

Absolutely delicious Italian food! I really enjoyed the shrimp pasta dish and drinks we ordered, and the cookie and cakes were also a highlight.Definitely recommend a visit if you're in the area and searching for great italian.

The kale ceasar salad had the most perfect peppery flavor to it. I like pepper but this was a new experience. The other dish I had was the pesto al rapini and added shrimp at the recommendation of the bartender. It was amazing. The sauce was delicious with that sweet nuttiness from the pistachios. Both dishes were too much to finish but I had a hard time pushing them away when I was full! All around an excellent meal and the service from Spencer was exceptional.

Went for Sunday brunch. Arrived around 1pm. Nice crowd but no wait for a table. Simple menu but not simple food. We had zeppole (powder sugared cake donut holes), caprese frittata and cacio di peppe with broccoli. Enjoyed everything. Also saw lots of amazing looking french toast with berries, eggs benedict with spinach and prosciutto & breakfast pizza. The staff were all friendly and efficient. Will go back & try other meals.

We thought we’d try a new restaurant for lunch. It was a late lunch around 2:15 pm. We were 1 of 3 customers in the restaurant when we sat down. Despite 7+ employees in visible sight not a single one greeted us, said hello or asked to help us in anyway. The instruction on the hostess stand says to grab a menu & then walk up to the counter to place your order. We ordered 2 entrees & 2 drinks. We were served our entrees before we received our ice teas all the while all 7 employees stood around talking to themselves. I walked up to the bar & asked for a refill on the ice tea. The first ice tea was all ice and the waitress gave me a nasty look when I asked her not to add any more ice. BTW their ice tea is kept in the frig & already cold the glass didn’t need to be 90% ice. In the end the food was ok although my wife’s pasta dish was swimming in sauce. My entree was pricey for the portion size. We will NEVER return. The entire staff showed an incredible lack of any customer service skills….. all 7 that were in clear sight the entire time we were there.

Had the Brunch special and everything was awesome. So I got the Veal parm and it was great too. 10/10 would go back anytime! Sad we didn't get to make it in for dinner during our trip.

Food was good. Very authentic and fresh. Service was cool. Busy day so it was a little crowded. But overall good experience.
