AMAZING from appetizer to dessert! I had the butt steak... There is a fancy word for it but that was great. Fried mozzarella is a must, the way they make it tops everyone else's! Look forward to being there again on the 20th of this month!!!!!!!! read more

Been coming here since I was 5 yrs old. Best pizza in the area hands down. Also best Italian in the area for sit down, may be a little pricey but it all evens out with it being a BYOB. Family has run this place for I don't know how many years - Sal is an excellent cook and the Fettucini Neptune is one of my favorite dishes ever. read more

So disappointing. We went for dinner Sat evening with friends, having opted for this local restaurant over Westfield offerings. We waited 38 minutes past our reservation time to be seated; another 15 minutes for menus & wine glasses. Two of the four entrees had off tasting fish/shrimp; the a la carte sautéed escarole had brown wilt on the edges. Although the waitress was professional & mgt accommodated by comping the table's bill, the scales tipped too far toward poor service & poor quality to prompt a return. read more

In my opinion, the best Pizza in Jersey. That said, the eat-in restaurant is very good. The seafood dishes in particular are very well made and delicious. I have been eating here for over 25 years and it is still a fresh dining experience. The service is very good and you actually feel that the staff cares that you enjoyed your meal. Get there with time to spare as it can get packed. Despite having a lot of customers, the atmosphere is like a quiet Italian trattoria and very intimate. Eat here once and you will go back! read more

Ok..decent enough, but much better places in the berkeley heights/chatham area. Pizza is good enough, and staff is very friendly, but it says they're open until 11 pm 7 days a week, and they usually are closed much earlier than that. Change your hours for god's sake! Or stay open until 11 every night! read more

Great classic Italian dishes. Superior seafood, filet is perfect, atmosphere spacious and pleasant. A neighborhood place with gourmet dishes. Love it! We are regulars here - highly recommend read more

Not just great pizza, the dine in food is great! The seafood is top notch. I would highly recommend a quiet meal with your better half.

My favorite pizza in our area! Whether you want a fancy Italian entree, late night appetizers, or simply pizza and calzone you can never go wrong eating here. Known locally for generations, Dimaios is where you go for that home away from home food. Amazing calamari, homemade penne vodka and bolognese, veal Marsala and fresh and delicious specials. Leave room for dessert and wonderful cappuccino too! And the service is always terrific....even if you are just picking up a pizza, Sal always makes you feel like he's a good friend! read more

Went today for lunch. Food is excellent and very high quality. Very good choices including pizza, pasta and the gamut of chicken, veal, etc. dishes. The Arancini were a delicious choice for an appetizer. We had that and a Margherita pie, delicious. Salads followed - nice size for a lunch portion. Two of our party had chicken parmigiana, one had eggplant rolllatini and I had rigatoni with sausage. Everything was wonderful. It is owned by a lovely couple named Tammy and Sal. We had the pleasure of meeting and talking for a bit with Tammy. The warm personal environment of this establishment make it a true neighborhood gem. I can not wait to come back for dinner. I have added this restaurant to my favorites list. Enjoy read more

We were a group of twelve all of whom were traveling a bit to meet my wife and I. We sort of bragged about the restaurant for its food and being a BYOB. Our wines were opened quickly and we all decided to select from the $29 fixe pre menu - four courses. Our friends were completely happy with their selections - the veal and Seafood Fra Diavolo were notable. Wait staff were efficient, attentive and friendly. Please don't come here and compete for a table unless your from our town, Berkeley Heights. read more

Really good Jersey pizza, one of the best in the area (after Frank's over in Blue Star closed that is), though a bit on the pricier side for pizza. I've never eaten in the really dark room they seem serve people in, but most people I know go there to pick up pizzas (fyi - they don't do delivery.) The wait's never too bad and the food is always yummy. The workers all seem to be family or family friends and veeeeeeeeery eye-talian, which is always more reassuring than the trying to get food from half-stoned people at fast food chains. read more

All I can say is it was horrible. Table was wobbly, restaurant was so loud you couldn't hear the people you were with, chipped wine glass, food was mediocre and the service was less than pleasant. Maybe hiring a service staff that could smile and speak english would make a difference. Would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. I will spend my money elsewhere. read more

it is too bad the food in this place is good. The service is terrible. They give you the wrong food and then give you a hard time about it. The owner stands next to you at your table talking to someone else all night and never even comes over and asks if you enjoyed your meal. These people need to go to "take care of your customer" classes. read more

Cozy place in a sleepy town. The food is pricey, but the portions are generous, the quality is excellent and the staff is very friendly. They are known for their Italian seafood dishes, but I normally order the Calamari and the Chicken Parm. It's a BYOB which is great as there's Berkeley Wine right next door. There is also pizza available for takeout. read more

Great food and reasonable prices. Don't drive by. We really enjoyed it and so will you.

Adorable, cozy atmosphere. Outstanding service and delicious food. The table next to us had a child with special needs and our waiter went above and beyond to make the family comfortable, chatting with the child and joking around with him and checking in frequently to make sure all was well. To be quite honest, you don't see this enough and my husband and I were touched. I made sure to rave about our waiter upon leaving. I hope he knows that his small kind gestures made a difference :) we will definitely be back as we said, "we found our new italian spot!" read more

Always consistent this is a great Italian restaurant with high quality food and it is byob. Been going there for 15 years!

I cannot believe the comments I am reading. This Italian restaurant is top notch. They go to painstaking detail to make sure you have a fresh, not frozen, not pre-prepared, meal. They go through every item that is plated to make sure there is not a blemish to be found (someone I know has witnessed this). I have never ever been disappointed with any meal I have had at DiMaio's. I know for a fact that the owner only purchases top quality seafood, meats and fish. The fish dishes are outstanding and served with high quality accompaniments. Sal also makes the best Bolognese sause this side of the Atlantic. If you haven't been there you have to try it. It is not cheap, I would say most dishes are $20-$30 but you get what you pay for. The pizza is good, but if I want great pizza, I need to drive to Elizabeth NJ or NYC. read more

Not worth returning to! Very overpriced...2 pasta dishes, Cesar salad and fountain soda ($3 for a small glass of seltzer!!!) was $50 including tip. The bolgnese was ok, the sauce was sweeter than I like. i also have a pet peeve when salads are premade and served cold from the refrig, an instant turn off in my book!! read more

This is a great place - excellent dishes like Fettuccini Locallos and Fettuccini Neptune. One side has take out including great pizza and the other is a nice restaurant. The restaurant is very nice but still OK to bring kids. They really have the best pink sauce around - you will not be disappointed! read more

First time there, we were welcomed by the the owner, Tammy. Our table wasn't ready when we arrived so she made sure our appetizer was served as we sat down. Food was excellent. Servers were friendly and genuine. Overall great find for Italian food. Looking forward to going back. read more

Had our first experience here last night. It was all around very good. We had the burrata appetizer special which was amazing. I ordered the salmon al porro which was slightly overdone but not worth sending back and definitely needed more sauce. My husband got the rigatoni with homemade sausage which was outstanding. They brought fresh bread to the table, and salads come with all the meals. I hate olives, and there were a TON in the salad, seriously, more olives than I've ever seen in a salad, so after I picked them all out, there wasn't much left, and the salad is tiny to begin with. I'll make sure to ask for no olives in the future. The thing that my husband and I were the most shocked about was that the desserts were $10 a piece! If you've never been here before, they bring out a tray, so there's no menu with the prices. We ordered two and couldn't believe that we spent $20 on desserts that were really nothing special. Total price gouging. Overall, a good experience, and we'll be back for sure, but I'd recommend skipping the dessert. read more

Amazing food!!! So delicious. Very friendly staff! They are willing to make you want you want even if its not of the menu!

We've been going to DiMaio's almost weekly for nearly 25 years. We've watched it grow from a modest pizza joint with a salad bar into what we consider to be the best Italian restaurant in the area. My favorite appetizer is the fried mozzarella in a lemon and caper sauce. The specials are always creative and at times exciting. They have moved far away from the tomato gravy dishes, reflecting a variety of tastes that range from Italian to Sicilian to Spanish and Portuguese. The fish and seafood dishes are especially tasty. We had cod recently served atop a fresh corn chowder base that was outstanding. The service is friendly and personalized -- at least for us regulars; and ordering off the menu has never been a problem. The regulars provide their own ambiance, which further livens up the place. read more

Very disappointing. Found this place via Google and it had a good review. Directed me to the Resturant website for menu. Way off. Prices had gone up $10 per entre from what is on their website. Not willing to accommodate any chance without an additional charge. And the place was empty on a Monday night so we wern't asking for anything exotic. Just very disappointing. read more

The Veal Parm is good as is the pizza and calzones.

Pizza is very good and prices reasonable. We went at an off time around 2:30 on a Saturday and had the restaurant to ourselves. Thought the service was lacking (took only our order and gave us the check) but maybe that's because the waiter was supposed to be on break since it was such an off time. read more

We have been going to Di Maio's for more than 25 years. Most frequently, for the last few years, we order take out from their take out menu. The food is always very good and portions are very ample. My wife is a native of Italy so she tends to be very critical of Italian cooking. I do agree that when you eat in the restaurant, service is not hurried but the waiters have always been extremely friendly and attentive. read more

This is our go to place for pizza and subs. Consistently good food at a reasonable price. Only complaint is that it sometimes pick up is not ready within specified time. read more

We have been regulars for over 10 years. Food is very good. Service is excellent. The staff is attentive without being overbearing. My wife typically orders fish, and I get the double-cut pork chop, perhaps the best I ever eaten. Highly recommended. read more

Amazing good, excellent service! The lemon torte for dessert was the best I've ever had. Absolutely divine. Seafood platter, bread & house sale were excellent too. Highly recommend everything! read more

Their food is just AWESOME! I've had pizza, and the italian cuisine reminds me so much of what I had eaten in Provence. Great job Chef! Keep up the great work, and we will see you soon!! I can't imagine someone giving you guys a 1 star, you deserve far much more. read more

Di Maio's is by far the best Italian resturant in the area. I have been going here for the past 18 years and have had a few private parties here as well. The food is unbelievable and Tami is wonderful! read more

Absolutely delicious food, so fresh and flavorful. The staff is also incredibly warm, and the clientele are fun as well :). The atmosphere on weekend is loud and electric, while the weekdays are calmer, but the food is always sensational :) read more

Can't say enough good about DiMaio's. Excellent food, from the salad & spinach to the pasta & chops. Delicious, imaginative sauces. Great, charming service. (Thanks Rafaella!) Took our parents there for a 50th anniversary dinner, and we were treated like regulars; part of the family. For a special occasion or just dinner out; highly recommended! read more

This was our first time dining at Di Maio's and it will be our last. I understand that even the best of restaurants can send out an entree that is undercooked but it is how the staff, management and owners handle it that separate the great restaurants from the bad. I have to say when we sent back the extremely dry and raw pasta (not in anyway resembling Al Dente) we were disappointed. The fact that the server was rude, the meal was left on our bill and came out a second time just as undercooked proved Di Maio to fall under the bad restaurant category. Our server told us the owner tried the pasta and told her it was fine. Our server also told us that she did not make the decision to leave the items on the menu which they did take off our bill in the end. At no point did the manager or owner check on us and apologize for the poorly cooked entree's. In addition to our experience the lovely couple next to us had arrived at the same time. They waited over an hour for their food which never came. This is a restaurant that has been around for a long time so I don't understand how it was being managed so poorly on this particular evening. The restaurant seemed to not be able to handle a full, busy night. They could not service the tables in a friendly manner or get the food out in a timely manner. It either came out raw or not at all. I was very disappointed and would never go back. read more

Solid neighborhood choice. Staff is friendly, service can be lacking and wait time for food can be long. But it's an overall nice dining experience. Food is always good. There are definitely hits and misses on the menu. Pizza is very good. The seafood dishes in heavy cream can be overwhelming but standard pasta dishes are very good. I love eggplant parm and unfortunately here it's a miss. But the chicken parm is a nicely executed dish. Steak dishes have arrived perfect or over cooked. Chicken entrees tend to be good choices. I do wish the owners would move through the restaurant and speak to other diners. They only take the time to speak to certain tables which makes the environment a bit too 'clubby' at times. Waiters do the same. You see when certain people/families come in they get passed off to other waiters. Certain families always get the same wait staff. It's kind of funny to watch this all happen. But we always find ourselves coming back (and no, we are not one if the tables that gets owner attention or specific waiter attention). Oh, it's byob too. read more
