"After a near two-year run as the Blind Pig, owners Brandon and Michele Gioffre have given their restaurant a New York-style Italian makeover — and a new name to match. The space has been transformed into a moody, family-driven spot that captures old-school East Coast charm, complete with the sounds of Frank Sinatra and Louis Armstrong in the background. Ingredients are either flown in from the Eastern Seaboard or sourced directly from Italy, keeping the flavors true to their roots. The menu is a finely structured love letter to Italian-American staples, with dishes like linguine con vongole — a harmonious blend of garlic, white wine, and Calabrian chili, served with both chopped and whole clams. The chicken Parmesan’s crispy exterior gets splashed with tangy marinara and just enough cheese, while Michele’s rotating, family-recipe desserts, like her rich tiramisu and knee-weakening pistachio cream, demand attention. For a standout starter, try Brandon’s fresh-pulled mozzarella. Best for: An impulse to visit a red-sauce joint that feels straight out of New York." - McConnell Quinn
"Some restaurants just serve food, while others bring people together — DiMaggio’s is the latter. Owners Brandon and Michele Gioffre have created not just a restaurant, but a gathering place where hospitality is effortless and every meal feels like an occasion. The menu leans into New York Italian tradition, from garlicky, white wine-drenched linguine con vongole to bubbling baked rigatoni and shrimp scampi tossed with just the right amount of butter and lemon. The house-pulled mozzarella is impossibly fresh; the Caesar strikes the right balance of crisp and creamy; and Michele’s desserts, especially the tiramisu, are worth the extra forkful. DiMaggio’s isn’t chasing trends, and it doesn’t need to. It’s a place people return to not just for the food, but for the sense of community." - McConnell Quinn
