DiFebo’s Restaurant Rehoboth

Overall -- It was a nice experience and we look forward to going back. One dish exceeded all expectations while the other was a huge disappointment. Service is absolutely spectacular. Wine was great, cocktail excellent, and apps were superb. The artichokes were inventive and tasty and the garlic bread (pictured) is a must-order item, and would easily satisfy 4 people. We ordered the whole trout and the lobster and crab fra diavolo. The trout was absolutely incredible and cooked to perfection. Fish can be a risk, but this dish was perfect. Whole fish, cleaned, deboned, cooked in its skin, and it was moist and tasty. The lobster and crab fra diavolo (facebook ad version pictured, not what I received) was a massive disappointment. We ordered it in part off the picture and description (A coastal classic with a fiery twist) but it came out fully tossed in their thicker red sauce, zero presentation, indiscernible from bowl of spaghetti, no garnish, and with *literally* no spice whatsoever. Taste was as bland as bland could be. A true FD should be thinner and spicier and the seafood should shine, like the picture shows. The lobster pieces were tasty, but the crab was nowhere to be found or tasted, and the dish really flopped. Whoever was cooking really couldn't have done a worse job and my hope is that this was a fluke. I would have said something but really didn't have a chance. The waiter checked on us immediately but I hadn't taken a bite yet and didn't want to gripe about presentation, then by the time we saw him again (appropriately) we were pretty much through. It was a great evening otherwise so I let it go, plus he was an excellent waiter. I will say they have an awesome looking menu with a lot of interesting choices. There are multiple items there I hope to try sometime.

What a wonderful dinner! We were struggling to find parking and running late but the staff was so accommodating and sweet. The place is so busy they could have brushed us off but instead everyone was so kind!! The food was amazing and drinks were great as well. The shrimp in my pasta were cooked perfectly, not overcooked at all. Also I really liked the dried chili flakes and Parmesan that goes with the bread. Can’t wait to return ♥️

Great Italian spot! Plenty of options and homemade pasta that’s delicious! The artichoke appetizer was incredible. Our table enjoyed the bruschetta as well. There are gluten free options and a build your own pasta which we all appreciated. The waitstaff was very attentive. It can get crowded, so make a reservation and plan to stop in here with family or friends when you’re in Rehoboth!

One of the best dining experiences we’ve had in the area since moving here a year ago. Our server Diana was excellent. My pasta was so fresh and delicious. It’s pricey but you are paying for quality for sure. Can’t wait to go back!

Dinner was delicious, service was amazing, and the atmosphere was equally as nice. We ordered the steak and chicken parm as well as the Italian wedding soup and pasta fagiole, all were delicious! The complimentary bread was very good and extras with it were a nice touch (spices to add to oil, butter, and a truly incredible spread). Would definitely go here again!

An excellent Italian restaurant, DiFebo's in Rehoboth Beach is an exemplary dining experience. Their food, service and attention to details are excellent. Starting with their amazing Agrodolce and Truffle Burrata, followed with hearty Linguine Carbonara and tasty Lasagna Bolognese entrées. An amazing raspberry sorbet and unique red anisette completed a wonderful meal.

No wonder this place has such good reviews. We ordered garlic bread, Parmesan crusted chicken cutlet and Lava cake for the dessert. Chicken dish was the best I have had at any restaurant so far. I am glad we ordered two plates under sharing for some extra bucks. Definitely going back even if it means I have to drive 2 hrs to get there. Call in advance for the weekend reservations.

The food was fantastic. We had the lumpcrab risotto app fried olives and artichoke hearts. They were all really delicious. For dinner the cod neopolitan was a 10, the braised short ribs over risotto was a 9.5 supper tender and delicious. The stuffed gnocchi were really good. My kids got pasta with chicken and butter sauce. Excellent experience, our waitress( Christina )was really great.
