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

excellent; we went twice. I especially recommend the pasta, served perfectly al dente. vegetables are fresh and not overcooked. the desserts are too big and rich for my taste. I suggest you split it. Our server, Diana, provided excellent, attentive service. 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

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

This is one of our go-to places. Food is fantastic with a good variety of daily specials, and service is always top notch! We love the lasagna! We also want to give a shout out to Diana, our server the last few times we have dined there. She is very attentive, helpful and pleasant! read more

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Our first time here and the food and service was fantastic. Diana, our server, helped us select our meal. The garlic bread is a must. My wife's Alfredo and my Lasagna were phenomenal. As was the Tiramisu. We definitely plan on returning to this wonderful restaurant. 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

Comfort food Italian style. We had a delicious meal at DiFebos. The food was tasty and we thought the prices were reasonable. The service was pleasant and professional. I had a gluten free pasta and roll. The restaurant was very willing to accommodate my dietary requirements and I find that's not always the case. We'll definitely be back again when we're needing more Italian cuisine read more

Absolutely amazing! The service was great. Anastasia was very attentive, answered all of our questions and had great recommendations. The food was all prepared perfectly and tasted like authentic homemade Italian. My biggest disappointment is in myself for not trying DiFebos sooner! read more

The food and dining experience here was absolutely on point! Starting when we walked in the door, they had our party of 6 slotted for an outdoor table, but one of our ladies is 8-months pregnant and it was HOT outside, so they very easily swapped us to an inside table...even though they were packed! We were seated in a back corner table near the kitchen, which brought back memories of dining in Little Italy. The service was wonderful and kind. A couple of our dishes needed to be tweaked a little and they were more than gracious about accommodating! First up, we ordered the Roman artichoke (crispy fried) appetizer - I highly recommend and this is a great shareable. The gnocchi was "heaven" according to my husband I snuck a bite on the sly and fully concur. Little bites of pillowy air, you could easily put away a couple pounds of these! I had the bolognese with an added meatball and WOWZA...is my momma in the kitchen?!?! Those meatballs must have ricotta in them because each bite floated in to my mouth! The pasta with Vodka sauce (not on the menu) looked like perfection And next time, I am definitely going for those short ribs... my only regret is not leaving enough room for dessert!! In short, make a reservation, ask for what you want and leave room for dessert!! Oh yeah, and those lemon martinis mmmmmm.... P.s. save some for breakfast the next day and you will thank me later read more

Diana was one of the best servers we have ever had! She took care of us Friday night with a bigger party and we had so much fun she was so interactive and if she made us feel so welcome! We went back to see her again on our last night in town! The food was amazing as well - but I would go again just to sit in her section! read more

Food was excellent. I had the Kiev chicken and my wife had seafood dinner with shrimp, muscles and lobster. This was a Monday chefs special for $28.00 each. Included, wine, salad, entree and dessert.

This past weekend made an early reservation. I ordered the ribeye steak special medium, and my partner ordered pan seared trout. The food came really quick to the table. The steak was pan seared only one side. so it was really med rare And chewy . The side dishes and entrees were so salty your mouth puckered. The trout was decent. I mentioned it to the wait staff and they told the chef. Are half the dish, my partner finished the fish and let the sides on the plate. Service was goid. read more

Extremely rude host staff & manager on duty. We waited to be sat 30 minutes after our reservation time. I understand it is the summer so it is peak season, but do not overcommit your restaurant that has 0 waiting space aside from outside in 100 degree weather. Snarky under the breath comments were made about the people waiting for their reservation in the small walk in area. Customer service = 0. Make it make sense that they have a rule that in order to be seated for your reservation your entire party needs to be there BUT when your entire party is there they will not seat you until 30 minutes after your reservation. The menu clearly states FRESH HOMEMADE PASTA. Come to find out ONLY the lasagna - out of all the pasta options - is actually made in house. Rude staff & deceptive advertising for mediocre food. There are dozens over better restaurants in Rehoboth that have great food and kind staff. read more

Never disappoints! Food is amazing and authentic. Our server on New Years Eve was Diana and she was both friendly and professional. Not sure what could possibly improve a DiFebos dining experience -- other than not having to drive 3 hours to get there! Come to Maryland, please!! read more

We had a reservation on August 12, 2025. The hostess was rude and embarrassed my 10 year old granddaughter. She has multiple food allergies and we brought her own food to the restaurant. We told the server when we were seated. The hostess made an issue of this which was not necessary. When I took her aside to let her know that she handled the situation poorly, she responded "Sorry you aren't happy!" We won't be returning! read more

This was our first time here and we'll be back! Although we were a walk-in, we were still greeted and welcomed and we were seated promptly. Our waiter Marc was super attentive, knowledgeable, and had perfect recommendations from drinks, to dinner, through desert.

We had a really lovely New Year's Eve meal here! We started off with the fried artichokes, which were excellent, and the prosciutto bruschetta- this was a bit different from what we expected (the bread was soft and it came as two large pieces of bruschetta), but it was absolutely delicious. There was a bit of sweetness (maybe from the mascarpone fig spread?) that we weren't expecting but enjoyed. We also ordered a cheese board that was a NYE special and excellent- usually with cheese boards, there are one or two items that aren't a hit, but we ate every single thing on this one! We also enjoyed the complimentary bread, which came out fresh and warm with excellent olive oil and a small contained of Parmesan/seasonings that you could add yourself to the olive oil. As entrees, we got the Abruzzo sweet ravioli and the short ribs. We really enjoyed both. The ravioli was so unique- I've never had sweet ravioli before, but somehow it worked perfectly with the red sauce. I ordered it with the meatball, which came in the middle of five or six ravioli. The short ribs were tender and paired well with the risotto. The only thing we didn't love was the drink menu- we weren't huge fans of the cocktails we tried (the limoncello martini and their take on a Sazerac). Unfortunately, we didn't have room for dessert but were impressed with the selection- there were 9 or 10 different options that all sounded delicious. It was a busy night but we enjoyed all of our food! read more
