DiFabio's Restaurant - Spring Valley Banquet Hall - Catering Consultants and Staff We recently had an event at the Spring Valley Banquet Hall and I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for the exceptional service provided by your staff during our event on 5/26/2024. The food was absolutely delicious and received many compliments from our guests. Additionally, the professionalism and kindness of your staff did not go unnoticed. I would highly recommend your facility and catering services to others. A special thanks to the Catering team for their help with the menus and showing us the facilities. Thank you, Susan K. read more

Food is consistently good here and the market is great for Covid-Takeout when you don't want to cook. The pistachio Chicken is amazing. The full bar is great and live music when Covid and weather permits. Sarah our server was friendly and attentive. An enjoyable evening. read more

We had my daughter's graduation party at DiFabios Rose Tree room. The room was beautiful, the food was excellent and our server and bartender were very attentive. Everyone had a great time! My graduate had requested the pistachio crusted chicken fingers, and they did not disappoint. Thank you to Mary and the whole staff, for a perfect celebration! read more

The food is amazing and the staff is on top of making sure everyone has what they need. Both spaces, Spring Valley and Rose Tree Room are great places, I'm excited to see the new renovation of Spring Valley! Overall, love the service! read more

Quality food, prepared well, the wait time at lunch is sometimes a little longer than people might like, but you are ordering a much better class of food than one would typically expect for lunch. That being said if you want something hot and ready waiting for you, go to a fast food chain. If you want something that is hand crafted by actual chefs, then I would go here. Make sure you order something containing the pistachio chicken. It is amazing. I was so impressed. They have that item done many different ways, and even the pistachio chicken hoagie was good, and I wasn't thinking it would have been, so I stand corrected. These guys do a great job; I have even eaten their food at an event that was catered by them. My host would have taken credit for the meal, had I not mentioned that I saw their little truck leaving just before the party started. LOL. It turned out that DiFabio's stepped in last minute and made the menu happen, so nice work on the last minute order. The food was basically the same quality as the market, they are consistently fantastic and that is no easy feat, especially last minute, and made to be eaten buffet style. A definite 5 on many levels. read more

I can't believe I didn't review this place yet! My co-workers and I order lunch from here almost every Friday. Their salads are ridiculously good. I go between the pistachio chicken salad and harvest salad. Every now and then I'll switch it up, but those are my two go-to's. I've never gotten anything here that I didn't like. The service is friendly and they've never messed up our order. That is a feat, considering our order is always huge and complicated. read more

I have mixed feelings about Di Fabio's. Their take-out pizza is fine, we've had it half a dozen times, no complaints, my family likes it. But recently we ate in for the first time (in the front section, not the fancier side room). It was cold as a meat locker in there. Yes it was winter, but there were all kinds of drafts blowing that never allowed us to get comfortable. Just annoying. I ordered a salad with blackened chicken, and the chicken was cold. Not room temp, but cold like they just took it out of the fridge and slapped it on, which I'm sure is exactly what they did. Now for the rest of my life when I order a salad, I'll have to ask, "is the chicken hot or cold?" Never thought to ask before because, y'know, grilled blackened chicken .... SHOULD BE HOT! Anyway, the waiter was pretty dismissive and just said that's the way they do it, sorry. I think the vague implication that I'm weird for excepting the chicken to be hot was what ticked me off the most. To be fair, he did offer to take it back and heat the chicken, but that really wasn't practical since it was already covered in dressing, and was distributed all over the salad. I will probably keep getting their take-out pizzas from time to time, but I don't see myself ever having a desire to eat in or get anything else. read more

I get lunch here every so often and each time I'm more than happy. Their portions are huge...the Grilled Veggie Salad (that I add blackened chicken to) is freaking tasty. It's usually enough for me to have it for 3 meals. My co-workers have ordered Chicken Parm & Chicken Caesar wrap and both looked/tasted/smelled amazing. Staff is always super nice. They also offer ready-to-go meals and soups, cannoli, other desserts and things like pepper shooters (Oh so good) and other Italian specialties. Oh, and the pistachio crusted chicken fingers are yummy too! read more

MusicWorks held our Annual Event, May the Music Be With You at DiFabio's Spring Valley. Catering location was great. Decor was awesome especially the separate bar area. Food was delicious and plentiful for our event. Butlered hors d'oeuvres were SOOOO good. The pasta bar was truly a hit. Service was amazing. Jane ran the event and was so accommodating to our every need. Servers Julie and Amber were friendly, helpful, always moving around from guest to guest serving delectable treats! Bartenders Kevin and Tim were terrific and poured with a smile. A huge thank you to Chris who worked out every detail with our committee. Added benefit was the parking lot was beautifully paved right before our event. DiFabio's has big plans for this venue. We will return for future events. All our guests LOVED this setting. Thank you DiFabio's. read more

We had our daughter's baby shower in the Rose Room - truly excellent service and food. Lovely room and lovely staff. And the staff did an extra good job setting up the room for us - lots of pink, naturally! Wish I could post a pic! read more

I want to continue going here so much. I really do. We've ordered from Fabio's many times because the food is superior to most places around Media. But, more times than not, they get something wrong with our order. It's so frustrating to get a salad home and discover they included the wrong dressing or they've added an incorrect ingredient that we can't eat. The thing is, their prices are on the higher side. So, if your order is usually wrong, you're eventually just going to give up. I'm just about there. read more

Ok to be fair their food is very good. The bad news, not worth there wait. I ordered lunch there today. I usually pick up but it was cold and I have small kids so I decided to have them deliver. I know they get very busy so I ordered early like 11 am. So an hour goes by and I call and they say the order is still here, the driver didn't pick it up yet. Ok, so they have no idea how much longer. Ummm alright, well I'll just come get it. Honestly if they had just given me a heads up that it could have taken an hour or longer I would have just come and got it myself. But they didn't. The girl on the phone was apologetic but when I got there, nothing. Not sorry, not something happened, like no big deal. Full bill, nothing off. I was pissed. Really pissed! Too many other amazing places to eat in media so I'll just skip them from now on. Hope that was worth the loss of a customer. read more

The service was horrible 25 m8n wait to be seated 50 minute wait for food. Italian Hoagie was the worst I ever had. Meat was too thick Roll was,stale. Pizza was ok. Nor enough staff to accommodate customers. Waitress was stressed and friendly at all. They need help if they want repeat business. I would not recommend read more

Love this place. I was hungry for something different. I'm tired of the same old pizza and sandwiches that the local area has to offer. I decided to try it. I sat at the bar since I was dining alone. I started with the pistachio chicken appetizer. Wow it's really good. The smallest portion was 7 pieces so it was filling. I looked at the menu and there were lots of things that really looked good. I was so full from the appetizer that I just ordered a pork sandwich. I also got sweet potato waffle fries. The dipping sauce was awesome. I made the mistake of asking about desert and my server brought out the desert tray. I was so full but everything looked so good I had to order the chocolate ginosh cake. It also was awesome. My server (Kevin) was really good a nice guy to talk to and on top of my needs. I highly recommend this place I know it's going to be my new hang out. read more

For salads & sandwiches, you'll get a large portion of good food. Steer clear of the overpriced, barely average antipasti ($19.99) - definitely not worth the price - take your money to Whole Foods or Wegmans instead. Meatballs were delicious but the selection of by the pound deli foods could be a lot better. Very cute bar perfect for an intimate meeting with a friend - decent selection of microbrews. I think the icing on the Three Kings cake I tried wasn't homemade either - just FYI. read more

Delivery arrived right on time. Order full plates chicken marsala (voted best seller) pretty average. I full order says it feeds $25 but def feeds more. Order cucumber salmon- yummy and lite. Just wish it didnt come so 'decorated', sat on top of kale lettuce leaves which wilted in the heat. Very nice to work with briefly. Got what we needed done read more

Recommended to me by friends in a gourmet cooking club and I'm so glad I took a sight unseen chance for catering a BIG family party. From start to finish the service was professional,helpful and thoughtful. Prices were very reasonable so I was delighted with the exquisite presentations and fabulous spill-proof packaging. The New Orleans chicken and Poached Salmon were huge hits with everyone! Can't say enough about the International sampler tray! DiFabio's will be at my next party! read more

The food is incredible from this place. The pistachio chicken fingers and the blackened chicken caesar salad are two dishes I look forward to ordering (pickup) almost weekly. They also offer fresh refridgerated options, such as soups, that are a great takeaway for dinner at home. The portions are very large and of the highest quality! read more

We had catering provided for a Christening party for 50-60 people. We picked it up the day of the party. We had summer mango salad, a fruit and cheese tray, filet on crostini, meatballs, hot roast beef and a chocolate dessert tray. Everything was great! The filet on crostini app was a real hit. I think it was gone in 15 minutes. The meatballs were really good. All the food was great and I will definitely use their services again in the future. read more

I have ordered from here many times just for the pistachio chicken. Last week I got the pistachio chicken again only this time when it was delivered it was cold and didn't look pistachio chicken, it fact it had a funny after taste. I called the restaurant and the young lady that answered said "What do you want me to do about it? If you want it replaced bring it back" I replied I couldn't do that as I was at work and paid for delivery. I asked her to take my name and number and tell her manger what I said. Well 24 hours later, no phone call so I wrote an email and now 5 days later no response. So I have decided to write this review and hope that someone remembers what good customer service is. read more

Used them to cater a baptism party for my grandson. They delivered right on time on a Sunday morning. Some people brought dishes, but the food from DiFabios went right away, I should have bought more. I was the hit of the party. read more

As a meeting and event planner I order many catered lunches for the office. I've use DiFabio's on occasion and every time I tell myself never to do it again. They arrive when they want to arrive, usually with 1/2 the order. When I call to complain, the catering manager has a "migraine" and does not return my calls. They cannot provide receipts from past orders. Their food is blah at best and the attitude of the staff is awful. For what they charge for platters, you would think they would treat their repeat customers like royalty. read more

Omg! They opened way too early with a disaster untrained staff. we want them to make it, but the restaurant/bar business is not the catering business. Meals messed up, beer all out on tap and management no where to be found. read more
