first time there to celebrate my birthday. There were 3 of us and all our meals were amazing. Service was great. It was a Sunday night, so the place wasn't full and it was a great atmosphere. Would highly recommend.

DiMario’s is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, the service was impeccable—attentive, friendly, and professional. The ambiance was perfect, offering a cozy yet elegant setting without being too loud. And the food? Simply outstanding! Every dish was full of rich flavors, perfectly cooked, and generously portioned. If you're looking for an authentic Italian dining experience with top-notch service, this is the place to go. Highly recommend!

My wife and I enjoyed a fabulous meal in the quiet of the side room of DiMario’s! This was a delightful evening , and our British server with the “ Australian “ accent was a welcome addition to our most positive experience! Looking forward to our next visit!

Overall, DiMario’s Trattoria had a lovely atmosphere, good food, and great service. Only reason I am not giving it full stars is because it was SO cold inside the restaurant.. we thought it was a lovely touch that they hang up your coat for you in a front closet as you enter the restaurant but I could have worn mine all night at my table because it was so cold inside. As well as we found the food did not stay hot long because it was so cold inside, as well as our red wine & glasses were also very cold due to the temperature inside. I would definitely come back and give it another try.. everything else was great!
