Please call the restaurant at 203-754-5111 for additional availability.The legendary history of Diorio Restaurant began in the 1920s. The late Rocco Diorio was responsible for the fine traditional food and many lasting memories for most of the people in the greater Waterbury area. The restaurant was closed in 1980 and reopened in 1991 after total restoration to its original splendor. The legend continues as we remain true to those endearing memories. We have the original marble bar, over-sized mahogany bankers booths, tin ceiling, and the most impressive acid-etched mirrors displaying historical Waterbury. Diorio Restaurant has once again reclaimed its reputation as Waterbury's finest.

    Monica was our server and she was outstanding! Three of us done out monthly and we tried New Mill last night and was not disappointed!! I had the Maple Glazed Pork Chop and it’s cooked just right and was the best ever. The other entrees were crab stuffed cod and a home made cavatelli pasta with grilled chicken and those were also excellent. I topped off my meal with a slice of pumpkin cheesecake. Wow! Definitely going back!!

    The wait staff was wonderful, and the atmosphere was welcoming. We had delicious food (apps and mains), and we were able to catch up with friends, feeling welcome and without feeling rushed. It's a great spot we've been to before...and we'll return to it again!

    This successor to Carole Peck's Good News Restaurant and Bar seems to be trying hard to meet the very high expectations for such a successor. Although the menu is no longer the same without Carole Peck, we had delicious food and left with the intent to return, as this had been our first choice for so many years. We shared the pate appetizer, which was nicely presented and delicious. Our main dishes were the Shrimp and Grits (on special) and the Wok-seared Shrimp (on the daily menu). Both were delicious, with wild shrimp, and the servings were generous. So happy to find high-quality ingredients, well-prepared, once again.
