Me and my husband dined in friday night and our server dianna took such great care of us she welcomes use with such positive energy and a great smile and the food was very delicious! read more

We had an excellent dining experience with my family. The location of this restaurant is just off Rehoboth Avenue as it begins to calm down. Inside, you will find a quaint setting that gives off a homey feel (which we all liked). After being seated, the staff were quite friendly and informative about the menu. And, service was consistent throughout our dining experience. On to the food. Many options. I decided to go for the Chicken Marsala (one of my favorites) but substituted the side dishes with some of their pasta (which was home made and a must try). The portion size was ample ... and delicious! The chicken was very tender and it paired with the pasta so well! We look forward to retuning. read more

You'll need a reservation to sit in the air conditioned dining room instead of outside covered porch. It's a nicely decorated dining area with plenty of room. Their wine list was nice and their dirty martini was super good. We really enjoyed their Fried Artichokes appetizer that came with a bed of lemon sauce with thinly sliced fried garlic discs. The fresh Italian bread with a side of butter or olive oil and a cheese/herb blend was good too. Our waitress was efficient and answered any questions we had. We had their Fresh Pasta Tagliatelle with red sauce and a meatball that was really good. The portions are decent but lean toward a smaller serving. We enjoyed our meals. read more

Our server was very friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. The dinning room was cozy. The garlic bread appetizer was 10/10 must get !! Prices are up this year as with most places, but when it's very good food it's always worth it. We'll be back !! read more

Went in the offseason with a party of 7. The waiter was polite and knowledgable. Place is very clean and very spacious. Food was delicious. Started off with a Cheese Board & Garlic bread that we all shared. I had the Braised Chianti Short Ribs. I subbed out the rissotto with mashed potatoes. They were so creamy and the ribs so tender. I ate every morsal. My wife had My Grandmother's Sweet Ravioli, she ate every morsal as well. Can't wait to visit and dine here again. read more

Was underwhelmed - eggplant lasagna top was hard as a rock and ribeye steak was just okay. On the plus side the calamari was very good. read more

Amazing! I went solo and sat at the bar. This place even in winter sounds like you need a reservation so be aware. Staff were great and I could not believe how fast the food came out! Incredible! Everything is and tastes homemade. Pasta a little Aldente just how I like it. Chicken was crust and juicy while mozzarella was fresh. Peanut butter pie was incredible and actually had a couple blueberries on them. Compares to the best Italian I've had back in the motherland (New Jersey) read more

I have been to the Market and wanted to try the restaurant so we went. here to celebrate a birthday on a Saturday night in November. We made a reservation and our table was ready when we arrived. The restaurant is on the smaller size and the tables are close and when it is busy it is pretty loud so hard to carry on a conversation but it is a lovely setting. First off I will say our service was excellent. Attentive and very friendly and she had lots of great recommendations. We had the cheesy garlic bread as an appetizer and it was excellent. We had four different dishes, the spaghetti was good, shrimp and pasta was excellent, the eggplant parm was excellent and we had another pasta dish that was very good. For dessert we had the chocolate cake and tiramisu. The chocolate cake was excellent, the tiramisu was good. Overall it was a good experience, not an inexpensive meal for sure but I would say it is worth a try and see what you think. read more

Second time visiting! Food was awesome and server, Anastasia, was very attentive and helpful :)

This was by far the most expensive meal we had while visiting this area. They are also a bit snooty in their treatment if you don't have a reservation - so I recommend making one. Because we didn't have one, we had to wait about 45 minutes to be seated - which was fine. We had nothing else to do with our evening. Once seated, the service was good. And there was some good selections for us to pick from. I'm trying to get away from salads all the time and eat more protein. So I could have done salad - but I went with the rainbow trout. Hubby was feeling hungry I guess as he ordered an appetizer - garlic bread. I think they may have brought complimentary bread out eventually as they did for the table next to us - but we went big. And the garlic loaf was BIG. There was plenty to take home and have for another meal. It had sundried tomatoes on it and roasted garlic - which I ate since hubby didn't appreciate those. I also had a small piece and it was delicious. For the entree, hubby got chicken parm and also 2 meatballs. As I said, I got the rainbow trout which came with the cooked greens and grains - neither of which had much flavor. But the rainbow trout was nicely cooked. I got the WHOLE fish as my photo shows which made the dish more interesting. I'm fine lopping off the head so I just removed it, set it aside, and ate the entire fish. Hubby did a good job of eating the chicken and one meatball - but left the spaghetti. Needless to say, he did not get an ice cream cone after this meal. The service was good but as I said it was the most expensive meal we ate all week. And not just because of the added meatballs and appetizer. However, as most restaurants, we saw the menu posted before eating here so we knew what we were getting into Was it worth it - no. We paid for the concept, packaging and location. But we're on vacation so we were fine living high on the hog. Would we eat here again - no. There were other restaurants we would and in fact did repeat rather than this one. read more

Food was excellent and our waiter was so very nice. If you're in Rehobeth and you're looking for good Italian food, well here ya go!

We've had some of our most fantastic, memorable meals of Rehoboth here. The service is always top notch and the food is truly mouth wateringly delicious. The short rib and the steak are our favorites though we are still admittedly exploring the menu because those two dishes are so good we rarely stray. If you have time, visit the market in Bethany! It's worth the drive, I promise! read more

A little treasure in Rehoboth Beach. Delicious, authentic Italian with fresh, homemade pasta you can really taste. Everything was flavorful and well-prepared. Definitely a place I'll be coming back to. read more

After having an AMAZING dinner here last year, we looked forward to returning. This experience was about 3.5 stars. Made a reservation in advance so we wouldn't have a long wait. That was great! For some reason our reservation got cancelled- but we called to check on it and the hostess added us back on the reservation list no problem. Yay!!! diFebos!!! Perhaps we made excellent choices from the menu last year. And just didn't make the best choices this year. Sigh. The staff and service was pretty great. Our waitress was lovely. Diana. Lovely. But the dishes were just, okay. Not great. I mean what do you say when they keep checking in on you and the food just isn't to your liking, I'm not enjoying this? This dish is lacking flavor ? We started with the garlic bread. Which is not as much garlic bread as cheesy bread with tomato sauce on the side. Presentation wise- it looked beautiful. Taste wise, I'd recommend using the roasted garlic atop and making a butter to actually spread between slices. Would not order again. They offer you bread complimentary and you're better off imagining you got the garlic bread vs paying for it. We both ordered the lobster bisque. It was lacking flavor and depth. My partner wondered if they didn't use a seafood stock? It needed something. Maybe sherry. We added salt. This helped a little. He got the short ribs on risotto and thought they were good! The sauce was not too heavy, well flavored, a good consistency. The risotto it was atop was also good. The couple next to us got the chicken picatta and the gentleman eating it said multiple times that it was absolutely delicious. So there are great things in the menu!! I got the cavatappi bolognese. This was suggested in the menu. The cavatappi was okay. Maybe a little over cooked? I dunno. The texture of the pasta was not for me. A tad gummy. The sauce was okay but not great. Sorta thin? I had hoped to dip the garlic bread into the meat sauce. But that wasn't an option. Would not order again. *shakes fist at sky for not getting the scallop's* It took a while for the busser to come collect our soup bowls. So when the pasta dishes came out it was an awkward shuffle to give her a plate, take a plate from her, make space, get a new plate, give her the other plate. They did offer us fresh pepper for the soup. No parm to be shredded for the pasta ? This was def offered last year. If you go, make a reservation in advance, avoid the 'garlic bread' and hopefully you make a better main dish choice than i did. read more

Came here with a group of 8 and everyone loved it. The food was fantastic (try the shrimp and lobster carbonara and the garlic bread). The service was perfect (Anastasia was a lot of fun). Would definitely recommend. read more

Difebos food and service are amazing! We just recently had dinner with a party of 8. Matthew got us a table even though I had booked for the wrong location. Our meal was amazing thanks to Diana and Emily - their recommendations were incredible and the chefs in the kitchen made us an amazing meal! Best restaurant in Rehoboth! We always make Difebos our family's last dinner after beach week is over! read more

I had a 715pm reservation and check in at 655pm. I was told to wait outside until my table was ready. 715 came and nothing, 720 came and I went inside as people how arrived after me were seated. I went to the host station and they said someone took my table. They say my party down right away. Food was excellent. I had a seafood pasta special with shrimp and scallops in a cream sauce. My friends had the children parm and the pasta with vodka sauce. We also ordered the garlic and cheese bread. Everything was delicious. When the bill came the drinks were taken off because of the reservation mistake. The managers came by and apologized twice. Hey mistakes happen-- just admit them. Wait staff was very good and explained the menu and specials. She even made my friend a drink that wasn't on the bar menu. Thanks for making dinner even more special. read more

Really likes DiFebos market so I decided to try their restaurant across the street. Service was really slow but the atmosphere was great. Bombaloni was fantastic. Edit - this review was meant for Bethany beach location, not rehoboth beach read more

Overall, our experience was good. We had made reservations for 5 and were seated right when the doors opened. Our table for five was in the corner and near the kitchen but it wasn't too bad. Our server was great - very attentive. We started with drinks (I had Blood Orange Lemonade that was delicious and M had a New Fashion that she really enjoyed). The bread was super fresh and came with a cheesy powdery mix that you mix with olive oil to dip it in. We ordered three appetizers to share - Fried Roman Artichokes, a large Caesar salad, and Roasted Pear Agrodoce with Truffle Burrata. The Burrata was fantastic - the pears complimented the cheese perfectly. Unfortunately, the menu listed a butternut squash pasta that D and I ordered and he came back after putting the order in to tell us they didn't have it. I replaced it with chicken piccata and wasn't thrilled with it. However, everyone else liked their meals (chicken parm, eggplant parm, roasted pork special, and Baked Truffle Gnocci). We shared a GIANT piece of chocolate cake for dessert and M & T had Boston creme pie martinis that they said were great. Pretty good and a decent choice for Italian in the Rehoboth Beach area. read more

Aurhentic, fresh made pasta, great service from Diana. Setting is comfortable, Sous Chef came out and checked on us. All around a very nice dining experience. Good food and good value!! read more

Well I returned and everything was behind amazing. The shrimp and lobster carbonara topped with lumb crab was perfection. The gnocchi sauce was substituted for bolognese. The staff were extremely attentive and kind. So much was eaten, there was no room for dessert. The restaurant had decent crowd but I had a reservation. There was barely a wait for food that came out with such great flavor. Again I cannot wait to go back. read more

We dined there summer of 2025 and enjoyed it so much that we went there twice during our Rehobath stay. Of course for our 2026 summer trip we couldn't wait to go back. Unfortunately, the food was not as good as we remembered. I wonder if there was a staff or management change in the kitchen? We started off with the caesar salad, which was the highlight of the meal and things just went down from there. I had eggplant pasta- no flavor in the sauce and the burrata was not a good choice as it clumped- ricotta salata would be the traditional choice and would have worked better. The pasta was mushy and overcooked. My partner had the creamy seafood pasta and was barely edible as his pasta was not cooked all the way through- much less than al'dente. Finished with the cannoli and it was a huge disappointment. It had candied fruit and the ricotta filling was way too sweet and gritty. The shell was fried perfectly but the filling was off. The service was impeccable and the waiter was very friendly. Unfortunately, until things improve in the kitchen we won't be back next year. read more

Just walked in and was created by our server Sean. Good sized 4 top table for our family of four. Perfect atmosphere for family or intimate date night alike. The chicken Parm was great but the meatballs were out of this world! read more

This was our third time visiting, and once again, we had a wonderful experience. Our server, Diana, was excellent--so friendly, attentive, and professional. She really made us feel welcome and took great care of us throughout the evening. The food was fantastic. I always look forward to the lasagna, and it never disappoints. The calamari were incredibly fresh--honestly, the freshest I've had in the area so far. We had been especially excited to try the maple risotto with pancetta, which was one of the chef's specials. Since these specials are only available for a limited time, it was no longer on the menu when we visited. However, after our meal, Diana surprised us with a small sample that the chef had prepared for us. It was absolutely delicious, and we truly appreciated such a thoughtful gesture. We were also able to sit on the patio, which was warm, cozy, and wonderfully private. It was such a peaceful and comfortable setting, and it made the whole evening even more enjoyable. We'll definitely be back! read more

Sean was an AMAZING server! The garlic bread was delicious, and the food was spot on. Everyone loved their dishes. It's a great Italian dining experience. read more

If you haven't been to DiFebo's, make a reservation and ask for Emily, the best server! Nothing was too much trouble. The food is "ALWAYS" consistently scrumptious! The drinks are always spot on! Thank you again for a great dining experience. read more

I've dined in as well as gotten take out multiple times from DiFebos and every time it is wonderful. The atmosphere of the restaurant is beautiful and calming, perfect for date night. Quality is not lost when ordering take out. The garlic bread is to die for I seriously love it. The service is just as good as the food. read more

Amazing service and food!!! We always return every time we are in town. Diana was amazing as well.

Came with a big party and they were very accommodating. The only thing better than the food was our great server Emily who took great care of us. We would definitely go back! read more

I had an amazing birthday dinner here last night. The appetizers were flavorful with being overwhelming leaving the delight for the main courses . I had a chicken Marsala with mushrooms. Ordinarily I don't even really like mushrooms but these were just right . Everyone's the table loved their meals. For desert I had a chocolate mouse tart ( I needed something to stick a candle in). It was mind bending. The waiter was excellent. He was cheery ( don't you hate that in a waiter lol) and helpful with hovering. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. read more

Birthday dinner! Dianna provided the most excellent service and we had amazing dinner. I had the short ribs which were tender and so good and husband had the chicken Parmesan equally good. Thank you for a great night. read more

Ambiance was great, our server was amazing but we dined on a night when the head chef wasn't working. Food needed basic seasoning, which I'm sure with the exec Chef overseeing will correct itself. We will try again! read more

This was our fourth time visiting and is on our top 5 list of restaurants in Rehoboth out of many choices. Our server, Sean H., inquired about food allergies, and upon learning I was allergic to eggs, immediately managed our order and communication with the kitchen at each course. Very impressive and responsive, and with a smile! Oh, and by the way, the food was delicious as always and portions are generous. read more

I went with a party of 7. For an appetizer, we all split the cheesey garlic bread (we wanted to be able to eat dinner). The bread was delicious though and I wouldn't have turned down more. For dinner, I ordered the ravioli with meatball. The raviolis were great and tasted just like the ones we get homemade from Brooklyn, and the meatball was good too. I was most impressed with Bob's red sauce. I haven't had sauce that good in a long time. Though I found it odd to get just one meatball with the dish- and it was four bucks, which in my opinion is a bit much. read more

Food was so delicious it was our first time eating there. We had the fried artichokes, garlic bread (the best we ever had ), cavatelli bolognese and lasagna bolognese with meatballs and sausage. Everything was great and I'm picky when it comes to Italian food. Diana was our waitress and she was very friendly and pleasant and she remembered everything we ordered and they had a huge piece of cake and sang to me for my birthday. We will definitely go back and try something else. read more
