Diorio Restaurant & Bar offers a classic Italian atmosphere in Waterbury, Connecticut. The restaurant is located in an older building with high tin ceilings, dark wood, and interesting chandeliers, creating a pleasant environment for dining. The menu includes a variety of dishes, with the steak and rib eye praised as perfectly cooked, and the chicken parm receiving high praise for being excellent. The shrimp scampi and veal parmigiana received mixed reviews, but overall, most dishes are well prepared and tasty. The restaurant also features good appetizers like the Brussel Sprout appetizer, carpaccio, and tuna tartare, along with desserts such as cheesecake. The service is described as excellent, with knowledgeable and friendly staff who provide attentive yet unobtrusive service. The wine list is modest but offers good options at different price points. The restaurant is a favorite for special occasions, such as Mother’s Day, and is appreciated for its welcoming atmosphere and quality food. Despite the downtown area having seen better days, the interior of Diorio Restaurant & Bar remains an enjoyable place for a memorable meal.
