“DiLeone’s catered a party for us (20 people) and the food was delicious. We called when another Italian restaurant forgot about our order and we had nothing to serve our guests. We called DiLeones and they had our order ready for pickup in 45 minutes. The rigatoni with meat sauce was delicious - nicely cooked pasta with a rich and tangy sauce. They also prepared two pizzas and garlic bread. It was so much food that we brought our leftover pasta to the fire department. They loved it too. We were beyond grateful that they could help us out with our last minute order.“

“So to be honest, I've actually never been inside of here both times we've got food. My husband has picked it up. Both times we've ordered.My husband has got the Veil Marsala and he really likes it and the first time I got the lasagna which was really good this time.I got the cheese tortellini with creamy pesto, which was also really good. Both times we get a side of their meatballs, and both meals come with small pieces of bread, so we have mini meatball subs, which is really awesome. Two meals per person, meaning we have leftovers for $50.Totally worth it. My husband said the staff was very nice and welcoming and helpful, even just for pickups. We will be going back a third time and more. Yum!“

“Awesome, awesome place! Great for families and groups! They have a Banquet room for big parties with sports TV's, so those who hate missing the game due to family obligations (like my husband) don't have to. Lol. It is our family and friend's family's "go to" when we eat out together. They also have a great bar where they don't skimp on the good stuff. My husband loves to wait there for our take out orders...but don't tell anyone that part Lol Due to being a bit off of the beaten path, it is rarely very crowded and there is plenty of easy parking.
Interesting and yummy appetizer's, loaded pizza's, huge antipasto salad's, great sandwiches and tasty pasta with both red and white sauce. The best garlic bread too, especially if you like sesame seed French bread like I do.
There is also a more intimate dining room and a patio. Great place!“
