De Fabio's...DeFabulous!. I went to Difabio's with a friend for my birthday. Our waitress was fantastic! We arrived when the opened so she was very attentive with fantastic recommendations. We ordered the bruschetta (delicious), creamy pesto angel hair pasta with shrimp (devine) and lasagna with a bottle of the pino noir. The food was fantastic. Pasta perfectly cooked, sauce perfectly creamy and seasoned with and perfectly cooked shrimp. I was too comitted to my own dish to try the lassagna, but my friend said it is really good. We finished with the tiramasu, and it was the best I have ever eaten. It isn't someplace I would go for atmoshere, it's a little kitchy cheap, but who cares when the service is great and the food is this good. I will be back, I'm craving their pasta as I type this!
Went on Sunday when it's 1/2 price all day on house wine, well drinks and appetizers.
The calamari was tender but not much flavor unless using the sauces.
The Ahi tuna entree was fabulous ordering medium rare.
Also the salmon on special entree with vodka sauce great.
I just came back from Miami S. Beach and thought I had the best Tiramasu there! Wrong!! It's here. When you cut a slice, the booze comes oozing out the bottom. Simply fabulous and even better then The Rivue downtown at top of Galt House ( if I'm allowed to say!)
Cannoli's stuffed with cherry chocolate and ricotta melt in your mouth.
Our waiter Justin was great. We were first ones to enter and 2nd to last to leave so Sunday best value AND service!!
Yummy. My 87 year old mother, my husband, and I had a great experience here. The atmosphere was relaxing, the service excellent and the food good too. I don't know why we didn't know about this place till now. I would definitely come back.
Awesome. Food is great I had a very good experience drinks and apps were good as well a++++++
Lots of yummy customizable options. Cute little place that doesn't stand out. The food is very good, and there are many options to how you get your Italian dish. Priced very competitively, not quite the deal or quality of LeGallo Rosa, but very close. Keep an eye out for Macaroni and Lobster special, it is my favorite appetizer, sadly it is not on their permanent menu.
We had a wonderful meal. Lots of garlic, fresh flavors and great pasta. Service was excellent. Our waiter was very knowledgeable about food and drinks. Great place for rustic Italian!
Amazing. I have dined here numerous times and finally have come around to write a review. The food is always delicious - I highly recommend the chicken parm. The salad and house made dressing never disappoints and is always fresh and yummy. Whatever you decide, you MUST try at least one meatball with whatever you order. It is by far, the best meatball ever....and I am not a huge meatball fan.
Tonight we celebrated with a wonderful birthday dinner - bottle of their house red, garlic bread, chicken parm, and lasagna. Everything was amazing as usual and our waiter Brandon was just as outstanding. We typically order dessert (tiramsu is the best) but had soooo much food on our plate with leftovers to take home, we had to pass. If you want fresh, homemade Italian - this is the place to go.
Great food, reasonably priced. Specials were great during happy hour. Canoli and cheese cake were awesome.
Cozy restaurant with a cute atmosphere. The main dish was large and very delicious. The dessert which was a lightly fried puff pastry with Nutella cheesecake inside was simply amazing!!!!!
Food great, but owners have bad taste. I recently went here for a birthday dinner. We brought a cake to celebrate and were very rudely told to take it back to the car. Although I understand many restaurants have policy not allowing outside desserts, they handled it quite badly. We almost left. It is such a stupid business decision to encourage people celebrating to go somewhere else- who doesn't want big groups of people wanting to celebrate at their restaurant?! Anyways, we stayed and enjoyed our dinner sans cake, but we will not be going back for birthdays...and maybe not at all. This is disappointing because the food was delicious, but I hate to support restaurants that don't treat customers well.
We truly enjoyed our dinner on the patio on a cool November night. The veal marsala was so tender and the marsala sauce was amazing. The salmon was also perfect. Would return service was a little slow but understandably they were short-staffed.
On 10/7 I visited this s restaurant
We arrived at 5pm we were the first customer. They placed is on a hi top. By the drink section. Menu has a nice choice of selection.
There were two concerns that I had
One we asked for olive oil and cheese for the bread. They did bring out the oil but I was really surprised the cheese was in a package like little Cesar’s and the second one was our waitress abby was the house bartender. And really did not have the time to service us properly
I would hope that a company that is over 25 years old. Would review my comments
Over all the quality of the food was good
Delicious food and many gluten-free options are available. The chicken parmesan was amazing. The calamari was perfect and gluten-free so my wife could enjoy it as well. I suggest a reservation the restaurant is on the small side but well worth multiple visits to try all the different delicious items on the menu like veal and steak or cheese ravioli for the vegetarians

Great new family spot for my sons and I. Introduced my 13 year old to Calamari and now he is addicted. All of our entrées were good. We chose lasagna, Shrimp Scampi and Chicken Parmigiana.
Amazing food, it did take a while to get the food they had a big party inside but it was worth the wait.
Located in a historical site of one of Louisville's original toll road offices, this quaint and cozy treat offers true authentic Italian cuisine at an extremely affordable price. Escargot is delectable, Alfredo is best in town and you haven't lived until you have tried the pink sauce. One of the only locations offering my favorite noodle, gemelli. Looking forward to dining there again soon.
Terrific food! Solid wine list, and some very nice specialty drinks. Relaxed family friendly atmosphere but nice enough for a date night. Our only minor complaints were the lack of parking, we had to park several blocks away, and service was a bit slow. Servers were very friendly but appeared to be short handed. As to the food, the bruschetta was different but excellent. Likewise, with the caprese pasta and shrimp. The veal marsala was exceptional, probably the best we have ever had. An all around great experience.
You can’t beat DiFabio’s! Tonight, they provided a great Christmas Eve dinner. The service is top notch. Their staff is accommodating and friendly. Their portions are huge, delicious, freshly made. Not to mention, the price point is great. Thanks DiFabios for making our holiday special!!
Like going to your Italian grandmother’s for a home cooked meal. Great bang for your buck. Awesome staff!
10 star's.. oh how we have missed Difabio's.. real authentic Italian..excellent service and amazing,amazing food..
