Delaware is lucky to be the kind of state where you can find just about any type of cuisine imaginable, and where your favorite restaurant is within driving distance, no matter where you might be. If you find yourself craving homestyle Italian food, head to the beach and dine at DiFebo's in Bethany Beach.
DiFebo's Restaurant in Bethany Beach began as a deli, but quickly grew to become one of the most iconic trattorias in the First State.
After two years of earning a reputation as the place to get amazing breakfast and lunch dishes, Lisa DiFebo went off to the Culinary Institute of America in New York. She became the first ever woman to be awarded a fellowship at the on-campus restaurant, then American Bounty. After her tenure at culinary school, Lisa made her way back down to Bethany Beach with her husband and joined her restauranteur parents to turn DiFebo's Bethany Beach into a restaurant with all sorts of accolades and local recognition.
Today, you can find amazing homestyle Italian dishes served from this made-from-scratch kitchen on the coast.
Join DiFebo's for a great meal, starting with their fresh salads and appetizers.
If you stop in for lunch or if you want a lighter meal, share a brick-oven pizza with your table!
The real treat comes, though, if you're heading in for a big, hearty lunch or for a dinner where you're planning to really treat youself.
The pasta served here is out of this world! Everything is made by hand, and you'll frequently find a different ravioli and risotto on the specials menu.
If you happen to stop in when there's venison ravioli in the menu, you'd better order a plate and try it.
Their veal chop is one of their signature dishes, and it's always prepared perfectly to your liking.
Of course, you can't have a restaurant by the water without a whole lot of fresh catch seafood! Fish, shrimp, and other frutta di mare are always on the menu, and always worth trying.
If you managed to save room, try a slice of pie or cannoli to wrap up your meal.
A decadent treat is the best way to top off a meal that's sure to be on your mind for a long, long time.
Check on the menu online, here, and you can start daydreaming about the dishes you'll choose.
