DiPalma's Restaurant & Pizzeria — Restaurant in Southbury

This was a very great experience! Me and my fianceé truly enjoyed our experience at DiPalma's. We got the dinner for 2 special, which is such a great deal. It's perfect for a couple. The entree and pasta menu is open to you, along with a soup or salad, AND--get this--a bottle of wine 😯It was such a delight; we had a rosé. The service there was great, our waitress was very patient with our decision process; we took a lil bit. I had the chicken piccata. It was very good! It's came with a perfectly sized side bowl of pasta with sauce. The sauce was sweet, and the perfect compliment to the dish. My fianceé had penee with olive oil, chicken, and broccoli. This was a great size for her. She had half and took the rest home with her. She really liked this dish! She said it was light, and I tried it and the chicken had an extremely good flavor. Powerful! Afterwards, we decided on buying a dessert. We ended up getting the chocolate lava cake. This was the only shortcoming. The ice cream was a lil frozen; it was too "icey". It was quite hard as well. I imagine it was because of coronavirus (we went in September) that the ice cream could have been stored for a lil bit, which is understandable. The chocolate cake was delicious though! Very moist and not overly sweet or too rich. A lot of the time I have a hard time finishing this kind of dessert at other restaurants. I had no problem finishing it with my fianceé!

All in all, I would say this is a fantastic local restaurant in Southbury with a very nice, classy, yet relaxed atmosphere. I would definitely recommend this...

All the food we’ve ordered has been fantastic, as we’ve been renovating a home in Southbury, and haven’t had the means to cook yet. Whether they deliver or I pick it up, they’ve been on time and friendly. However, there was a night that was about 15 minutes before closing when I arrived, and hearing the host complain about orders being taken in the last hour was “disrespectful”... then why are you open for that extra hour? If you don’t want to work that late... then you probably shouldn’t have the job. I found it rude and quite honestly makes me not want to go back because of how blatantly obvious it was that she was referring to me - the only one at the counter. Aside from this occurrence, I’d give it 5/5 stars, but this was truly an unexpected and rude comment that would make anyone uncomfortable. Again, if you don’t want to take orders 20-30 minutes before closing time, then close 20-30 minutes earlier. Or, don’t work. That simple.

Updated my review ** due to owner reaching out. Thank you...

If I could give 0 stars I would. This was my first time ordering from here and the service was terrible. I had ordered over the phone for a pickup order. (One small pizza) they told me it would take 20 min. ( which btw it was 5:27 when I ended the call) I’m in a rush to go to school so I pay over the phone thinking I’m going to walk in, and walk out… guess I was wrong. I get there 5:47 and I give a $5.00 tip which is reasonable for my order. And the woman up front with the slick back ponytail says out loud with no hesitation “ $5.00? Might as well given nothing at that point” I was so disgusted by her nasty attitude that I will never order from here again. Learn to be respectful. I ended up waiting 30 min. So moral of the story, if your thinking of ordering from here, order half an hour before if your in a rush. And also, to the woman who said that in front of everyone, be thankful I even gave you something. I gave you more than 20% tip. Think before you speak and be accurate...
