I came here to celebrate a friend’s birthday.She made a reservation for a large round table by the window.When I arrived, I noticed they have two entrances in the front. The door on the right leads to the DiMaio’s Pizzeria section.This is where you can place an order for Pizza, Stromboli, Calzones, Hot and Cold Subs,Pasta Dishes and more for take out only.The door on the left leads to the actual restaurant where you can sit down and be served. This is a BYOB which I love.I was immediately greeted by an our server I believe her name is Paola. She was very friendly and attentive. DiMaio’s has a good amount of tables for dining in.The restaurant itself has a casual, subtle and warm vibe. I found it very relaxing. This place is family friendly, and Wheelchair Friendly. They can also accommodate vegetarians.When you arrive there’s a few spots in the front, 2 handicapped spots, and a few regular spots with remaining parking in the back around the side of building.This restaurant has been around for at least 45 years. It’s has been a staple in the Berkeley Ht’s area.For starters some of us chose their Tomato, Cucumber, and Feta Salad. The rest chose their House Salad with shaved Parmesan on it. Both salads were very good. Hot Rolls with Butter were also put on the table.For my Entree I chose their Rigatoni and Chicken Alla Serafino-Sundried tomato, broccoli, mushrooms, peas. It had a light flavor and subtle components.One of my friends chose their Chicken Valdostana- it was served with mushrooms, prosciutto & Asiago cheese. My friend ate every morsel.Another friend chose for her Entree Chicken Marsala-mushrooms and Marsala wine, she enjoyed it.Another friend chose for her Entree Seafood Marinara-shrimp, scallops, mussels, clams, and calamari. Again, everyone enjoyed their meal. The food is good here. We found for the area the food was pricey. Their chicken Francese was $29. The Seafood Marinara was $39. The other thing I found interesting was there was a charge to serve our own birthday cake. $2 per person.We decided to let the birthday girl take it home and enjoy it with her family. We just ordered desserts we picked off their tray. They were delicious , but for the price they were small portions which ranged between $11-$13 apiece. That’s definitely pricey for dessert.They do catering and parties here. I’ve had their pizza, and it’s decent too. They make a good Grandma Pie.Vegetarian options: They do have offer vegetarian optionsParking: They have several handicapped spots in front along with a few regular spots. If full they have parking around the back of the buildingKid-friendliness: Kids mealsWheelchair accessibility: Two handicap spots out front and they’re located on the first floor. I believe you could get a wheelchair in this restaurant.

First time was delightful and I had the most delicious meal I've had in years. (Fettuccine with fresh seafood). Includes a nice salad with light dressing. Might be my new favorite restaurant! Everyone in our group wants to go back there soon as everyone loved their meal.. The service was at a great pace and we were not rushed through our meal. BYOB. Parking lot. Friendly staff, reasonable lunch prices.

Food is great, but the worst service in the area! The woman that runs the front and answers the phone is terribly rude.

When I say fresh food !! Awesome staff and service a must return to have something else from menu. I had a chicken Parmesan to go and it was the most fresh made sandwich with ingredients that taste like quality.

First time yesterday with friends that rave about this place. I can see why. Seems like they have a very active takeout business based on the line at the counter, but we were there for dinner. Very pleasant and attentive wait staff, and the food is really outstanding. We shared some PEI mussels which were cooked to perfection, had some fra diavlo dipping sauce as well which was just the right amount of heat. Not particularly noisy which made for easy conversation. All of us had some type of pasta dish; tastes like the pasta is homemade and perfectly cooked, al dente. Desserts equally tasty and byob keeps the bill reasonable. Will definitely return.

Have gotten takeout several times now and have not been disappointed. Good pizza and entrees. Staff is always very pleasant.
I've been here several times and have had very good experiences. Tonight's was different. Our dinner (appetizer, salad, meal) was delicious, but it took over an hour to get served (to two people in their 80s). Our reservation was at 5:45, and we did not get our entrees until almost 7:00. This was after telling two people we had been waiting for awhile. We also were told after paying that our American Express gift card could not be accepted. Hopefully all of this was an aberration. We do like this restaurant.

The food was delicious. We tried several varieties to have a taste of different. Chicken Marsala, Chicken Margarita on a bed of Angel hair and a seafood mix dish. Apple tart for dessert sealed the deal: of course with a cappuccino. One word, Yum. From the warm bread to the last drop of Cappuccino, the food was well balanced in flavor and tenderness. Hats off to cook! Looking forward to a visit again soon.The parking lot is a little confusing, but then again, the area is unfamiliar to me. It was raining also today, so that didn't help. Otherwise, all was great.
