(Apr 2026) For dinner, we had a baby-spinach salad with crushed walnuts, moist dried cranberries, crumbled gorgonzola, and sweet zingy raspberry vinaigrette. And rich tender spinach, basil, and tomato tortellini, in a creamy garlic sauce. Their Mussels Fra-Diavlo were fresh tender and juicy, sauteed in garlic olive oil, with crushed red peppers and rich Pomodoro sauce. We loved their brightly-flavored chicken piccata, pan-sautéed in light fresh-tasting olive oil, with white-wine lemon-butter sauce, tasty little capers, and melt-in-your-mouth artichoke hearts. Served over creamy risotto. So good! Our server, Maybelline is the nicest best ever, with a great sense of humor. We were happy to see Dario's busy in the early evening on a Friday (Apr 2026). Their dishes are so good, each perfectly prepared and delicious. They rival any we've had in that big Olde Towne on the harbor :-). We hope that Dario's Ristorante is part of a resurgence of good food spots in this part of town.

Was in town visiting family from my home on the West Coast. I live in Napa where "excellent"…read morerestaurants are a dime a dozen. I can honestly say this place matches and exceeds many of the restaurants I've dined at in Napa, California. This place is a jewel and I hope it keeps on running here in downtown Fitchburg. I got the haddock special which was cooked to perfection and on a bed of spinach, tomatoes, and excellent pasta. Other items ordered at our table, included the muscles, which were excellent, two muscle options were available that night. The scallops were also very good and also served on a bed of pasta. The Caesar salad I ordered was excellent and loaded with anchovies, which I love. However, others may want to hold the anchovies, but that's just how I like it. I'd come back for the Caesar salad alone. Excellent cocktails across the bar at a reasonable price. Very good wine list again with good pricing. Perhaps the only negative thing I could say is the corkage fee was $35 which is a little bit high even for California pricing. However, overall, the pricing here is very good and fair. We were here on a Monday night so they were not busy and service was excellent. This is a local gem and I definitely would recommend and hopefully will return soon!

It was served with rosemary bread that was was tasty with the "Italian butter" served to your table. Two night later we choose to have a wood fired pizza. All I can say is wow! After having pizzas all over the country I thought a pizza is generally good or bad. This pizza was not only good but it may be one of the best I have ever had.

The restaurant resides in an older, well kept building in the small downtown area of the rural Town of South Deerfield. The interior of the restaurant is small, but welcoming, with an L-shaped bar for approximately (12) persons which accommodates food service, and table seating for approximately 50-60. We arrived at 5:30pm on a Friday, and by 6pm it was full; reservations are highly recommended. With regards to the food, everything was absolutely amazing! We started with the Fried Calamari (appetizer), which is my 'go to' as I both love it, and feel it is a perfect test of a kitchen's abilities, as it is a simple appetizer, but can be easily cooked poorly; this calamari was perfectly cooked (not chewy), and both lightly battered and flavored for a momentus start to our food experience. We also started with the Roasted Mushrooms (appetizer), and while I did not sample, the other members of my party thoroughly enjoyed. For the main course, I ordered the Chicken Cordon Blue (house specialty), which incorporated prosciutto and a unique creamy parmigiano sage rose sauce. The execution of the chicken preparation along with the sauce showcased the talent in the kitchen, reminding me that Gianni Figs is a chef owned restaurant. The other members of the table enjoyed Pasta Carbonara (traditional pasta), Grill to Table Scallops and Chicken Cacciatori (ribeye, chicken, & veal), all which I was informed were amazing! One minor critique as I pretend to be a legitimate food reviewer, is a consideration for the interior ambiance of the right side of the restaurant. If the right side were to more closely resemble the left side, with the addition of some wood, decor and softer lighting, it would create a warmer atmosphere for patrons. Additionally, a door or some type of partition to the kitchen entrance would also elevate the setting for those sitting adjacent to. Lastly, while I understand things will never go back to pre-2020, and the world is an altered place, with altered standards, I will note that multiple tables included patrons wearing ball caps and hooded/printed weatshirts while eating. Considering Gianni Figs food to be higher-dining quality, the dress code did not align and affects the ambiance. Food Rating: 4.5/5 Ambiance Rating: 3.75/5 Overall Rating: 4.125/5
