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.

Polished marble rest atop the overstretched bar which boasts eighteen draft beers and the state’s first ever “tapped wine” system. A seemingly humble menu is carefully considered with homemade pastas, coal-fired pizzas, and daily “features” that will bring a smile to the most discerning grandmother’s face.**A NOTE FROM THE RESTAURANT**Reservations are not required.

    We were seated promptly upon arrival on the 2nd floor as requested. Our server helped to make this a very enjoyable evening. She was very knowledgeable about a menu and was able to make a very good recommendation for a wine selection. She also provided a complementary glass of champagne as it was our anniversary.

    I went to dinner on Valentines day with my newborn son at The Rail. His father is the chef there so it worked out good. We still was able to somewhat spend valentines day together as a family. Food was delicious! Atmosphere was nice the Valentine's Day decorations were beautiful. My waitress was awesome as well. They even had pictures that you could get taken when you walk in the front door. It was an awesome night and a great way to spend my first Valentine's Day with my first son.
