DiFebo's Restaurant Bethany Beach

food is always so good here. table layout could use some work but this will always be a favorite spot for special occasions. they have so much art on the walls including hand painted art in the bathrooms

On a Thursday night in January, the restaurant was busy. They had a great shoulder season special- but we ordered off the menu and everything was delicious. Be sure to save room for dessert.

Wife and I went for dinner on a Sunday. Made reservations just in case it was super busy. We saw a ton of good reviews and frequent their market across the street so it was great to be able to finally get to the restaurant. It did not disappoint. They were on point for everything. Service was great and the food was excellent. We had the Burrata as an app along with the Baby arugula salad. Good size for apps to share between two people. A larger party would need a couple apps, but I would say don’t go crazy and fill up on apps only. I got the Chicken Parm for dinner and my wife got one of their specials with shrimp and crab served over pasta. Entrees are definitely a health portion so you will not be hungry. Desserts: I got the peanut butter cake and my wife ordered an olive oil citrus cake. Both were excellent but I’d say the olive oil cake is the one to try since it’s different and not available everywhere. We capped the night with a cappuccino and their homemade limoncello.

We loved our dinner at DiFebo's! We have driven by it year after year and never dined there before. So glad we made it our priority on night 1 of vacation. It was absolutely lovely. The ambiance is fantastic and quite frankly, unexpected along Garfield Parkway. My husband ordered a Caesar Salad that was so fresh. The bread also freshly made with a yummy and zesty cheese to add to your olive oil dipping. For dinner, he ordered a special-of-the-day pasta with fresh mozzarella and lobster. I am a GF/DF lady. Usually not a fun situation when I find myself in an Italian restaurant - not so at DiFebos! The server (Allison) helped me navigate things and I loved my gluten free penne with pomodoro sauce (minus the butter finish) and grilled shrimp. It was delicious! I also enjoyed a glass of Italian Sauvignon Blanc. It was a really special meal in a lovely restaurant. We will be back and look forward to trying the Rehoboth location, as well. Oh, and don't miss the homemade ice cream. My husband loved the vanilla flavored!

What an outstanding find! Having recently relocated to the area we are searching out our new favorite haunts. Have already returned twice, both times lucky to find seats at the busy bar. DiFebo's Caesar salad and chicken parm are among the very best I've had ANYWHERE, not just DE. They serve only house made pasta and bread to boot and one of the few spots in the area I've found that even offer espresso drinks so the cappuccinos being perfection was a joyful bonus. Top marks too for staff who were friendly helpful and attentive despite the full house to keep happy. Many more visits to come!

The food was delicious, we were a party of 12 and every person enjoyed their dinner. Our host was Sergio, he was very knowledgeable and gave some great suggestions, plus he was funny. The sangria was amazing, must order their DiFebo’s garlic bread & the creme brûlée was yummy. Love the atmosphere and looking forward to coming back in warmer weather.

Very high quality ingredients and great service! We had an amazing dinner on the patio. Artichoke and squash blossom appetizers, cioppino, mushroom pasta, tiramisu (to go because we were stuffed). We also tried the Dean-O mocktail and it was very refreshing. Cocktails were enjoyed too. It was pricey for two people but everything tasted amazing so it was worth it for a special occasion meal. We will definitely return.

Second time eating DiFebo's, first time dining in. The meal selection was full of appetizing options, challenging to choose the best dinner. Every plate we ordered was packed with amazing flavor. Food came out quickly. The garlic bread was especially good, buttered and garlicky, fluffy and tasty. Pretty sure I could eat a whole loaf for a meal. The gnocchi were covered in shreds of cheese and topped with ricotta - a cheese lovers delight. The risotto was creamy and the shrimp were some of the best shrimp we've ever had both in looks and taste. The alfredo sauce was fresh and not overly thick, just right. Our waiter was energetic, kind, helpful, knowledgeable of their items and specials, and rounded out with a bit of humor. We finished our amazing dinner with a table slice of chocolate covered peanut butter pie. Even though we were going to get ice cream later, getting this slice of pie was the best decision we've made all day. It was huge and had a great peanut butter taste and cheesecakey texture. Rich and delicious. Will be going back to try some different options for sure.

Loved our server, but didn't catch his name. Although I found my dish, the Ricotta Gnocchi, to be too sweet for my tastes, my two companions loved their dishes. All of three of our appetizers were great and we all loved our drinks. My favorite part was definitely the pistachio gelato which came with a biscotti that tasted like anise/licorice and it went so well with the incredible gelato. The tiramisu was also good. We would definitely come back next time we're in the area.

So glad we found this little Italian Restaurant. Staff was super nice, everyone greeted you as you made your way to one of the three dining rooms. We started with a Cesar Salad and Pasta Fagioli Soup. Mains were Pasta with Bolognese sauce and Lasagna. Both were delicious. Service was outstanding. Our Server was very knowledgeable about the food and made great suggestions. There is a Full Bar and a good Wine list.
They have a Market across the street, with Sandwiches available for Take Out. About 10-15 minutes from Ocean City, so it seemed less touristy. Highly Recommend. Make Reservations, they get busy.

Came with my large family of 10 who have apparently been coming for many years, this however, was my first time joining them. The service was great, the timing and food was equally great. Every single family member was satisfied with each food item.

We ordered appetizers to share, the garlic bread, Roman artichokes, Brussel Sprouts with pancetta and especially the Burrata Bruschetta (my favorite) were very tasty.

Several of us ordered Pop Pop’s Cioppino which did not disappoint with lots of mussels, clams, calamari and some fish in red sauce over fresh pasta. Others ordered the Torchiette with Wild Mushrooms (mushroom/truffle pasta), Abruzzo Ravioli, and Herb Crusted Fish if the day (can’t remember what type of fish but very fresh) and all of the dishes were a good size and fresh. All praises and no complaints!

We finished off with cappuccinos for most people and several orders of the olive oil bundt cake, Peanut Butter pie and 7-layer chocolate cake. All were rich and decadent, each was enough to share between 2-3 people if you don’t want to overeat.

I’ve been to Italy in the past so I’m happy to report this was a great experience overall and an authentic quality establishment. I’m definitely coming back with or without family!

Just spectacular cuisine. Everything was just perfectly prepared. Second time dining here. And will be back for sure. The atmosphere was great. Service was impeccable. And that ricotta cheese cake was divine!

I should have made a reservation but the staff was very accommodating for our last minute show up. We were able to sit while we waited. Server was professional, knowledgeable of the menu and specials. Air conditioning does work so ladies, bring a sweater or small wrap while you enjoy some very good dishes.

We visited for a date night and had a great experience. It was packed on a Tuesday night in February so we’re glad we made reservations. The food was excellent and we are excited to come back sometime. We hope to visit the market across the street too.

Whenever we are in Bethany Beach, this is our go to for Italian. My favorite dish is the Torchiette and Wild Mushroom and I get it each time. It never disappoints. It's rich and decadent. I also love their Parmigiano seasoning for their olive oil dipping sauce for bread. They also own a market across the street where you can get ingredients, desserts, wood oven pizza and sandwiches.

Excellent food and friendly service. They work with if you have to adjust reservations and their wine selection is great. Atmosphere is inviting, relaxed and enjoyable. Their staff is friend. Go and enjoy great food!

If I could give 1000 stars I would. Went to this restaurant for my birthday dinner after making a reservation elsewhere and getting such horrible service and food that we left. Well this turned my night completely around. My crab and lobster risotto was to die for and my boyfriends swordfish was excellent. Very nice waitstaff and lovely place. Thank you so much!! We will definitely be back.

This is fine dining at the beach. I have been for lunch and dinner and found the food to be excellent It is a bit pricey but worth the splurge every now and then. For lunch, I had the porchetta sandwich with au jus, truffle fries and iced tea ~$24. The pulled pork was tender and juicy. For dinner I had soft shell and grits (fantastic), white chocolate creme brulee, and water ~$34. Keep in mind that everything is served a la carte. The portions were generous and I have never tasted a better soft shell. The atmosphere is comfortable and cozy, the service was great. Thank you, Eugene, for keeping my water glass filled.

Visiting from northern Virginia and I must say. Everything about this place deserves 5 stars. My steak was prepared to perfection. Crab cake all meat no filler. Our waitress Mindy went above and beyond for us. Her attention to detail and our needs was so genuine.

Great Italian food in Bethany beach! Clean facility. Very good wait staff.
