I know why Di Cicco'a has a high score on Yelp. People from Clovis only have two cities to choose from, Clovis or Fresno. There is no where else to go to eat italian food. So you eat italian food at Luna's or at Di Cicco's. That being said, the Di Cicco's Old Town location is far more pleasant and polite than the other locations. Though what I find in Di Cicco's old town location is a lack of consistency. For myself, I often want the alfredo can I can tell the ratio of ingredients that went into the sauce were not the same as the last time I was there. I don't know if it's the chef that night or what, but I know the ratio can be off and I can tell the difference. My family says the same about their food too. I hope the consistency improves, but I do enjoy my trips to Di Cicco's when they happen. read more

I found a little baby roach in the menu and walked it up to the bar tender yo show her. She took the menu from me and did not offer an apology or a new menu or anything. Just let me walk away. read more

Don't usually leave reviews but I am absolutely floored by the poor service/quality of our order today. Ordered two dinners and a kids meal. The dinners arrived without the salads and the kids spaghetti had enough sauce for maybe a quarter of the pasta. We ordered a side of meat sauce and only received marinara. Our side of meatballs were spilled and leaking into the bag. (This one may have been the doordash drivers fault). If one of these things happened I would have brushed it off as I'm not the snooty type but for the $$ spent we deserve better. read more

It was okay kids pizza is pretty huge. And cheese was salty and man those Italian nacho fries were super salty I felt like I was eating pure salt never trying those again read more

DiCicco's Old Town Clovis - Italian nachos without blue cheese ranch - Italian Near Me - Clovis, California

Came to this location because it was close to my fiancees school and he really wanted a calzone. The hostess was very very friendly and she was super helpful. I ordered scarface with NO mushrooms. when she came to the table with the food she immediately noticed the problem with the dish before the dish even hit the table. they forgot to remove the mushrooms. She was so fired up lol. she ran to the back and came back 5 minutes later and said how sorry she was for the mix up. FINALLY A HOSTESS THAT CARES AND DOESN'T JUST TREAT YOU LIKE ANOTHER TABLE!! Customer service here was amazing. and the food wasn't far behind. Thank you for a great meal. you will defiantly see us again. couldn't figure out why they were playing country music in an Italian restaurant though lol. read more

I used to really like Diciccos. We ordered a large pepperoni pizza. The pizza wasn't what I remember their pizza to be. This time it was very salty and it seemed they were rationing their pepperonis. Hopefully they improve with time. read more

So happy to be writing this review. I know how hard it can be to please the masses these days in business, and coming from a coastal town that only the best win it was delightful to find this sweet spot in old town. I was so pleased with our waitress, she was so attentive and sweet (Victoria). We had a table of four and everyone was overly happy with their dinner. We took our drinks next door to the lounge and we're in for a treat with live entertainment. Keep doing what you do, no matter the new, cause if your this good, they will keep coming back to you. Thanks for the great night! read more

Super nice l, but also super slow. What can you expect from the the south, I mean the country. I really like the vibe but don't be in a hurry. I'd say their aight, what I expected. I wouldn't wait for a table. read more

Amazing comedy show tonight cant wait to come back again for open mic. The host is hilarious and the serving staff was great. Thanks for a fun date night ! read more

Not impressed. Friday night at 530, and we stood at the front for almost 10 minutes before being acknowledged. Numerous people came up to the register, but NO ONE acknowledged us. Finally , we were seated. However another 5-7minutes for menus. 5 more minutes for drink orders. This place was chaotic w groups of employees just standing looking frantic. I finally asked what was going on. The waitress said their computers were down. Well, I understand that, but time to get some paper OH. FOOD WAS NOT GOOd! tomato sauce was tomatoes, no flavor. Overdone pasta. The worst "Italian nachos ". EWWWW FRIES W BLAND ALFREDO AND CHEESE. AWFUL, Yuck peewe read more

We gave up on this place 4 or 5 years ago for getting our orders wrong quite often. Fast forward to tonight we decided to give them another try. Low and behold they screwed the order up again and forgot part of it. I only give it 1 star because the food was OK and they delivered the correct order within 15-20 minutes. Over this place. read more

Home run!!! First, the fact that Sandy DiCicco responds to most reviews is awesome! I was somewhat hesitant to come here based on the 2.5 stars, I am from out of town on a work project. Glad I came! I was friendly greeted and seated promptly by the hostess. My waitress, Marissa, aka Megan Fox, arrived very soon with a great smile and took my drink order. She took my food order quickly after(still great smile). My delicious crispy salad arrived soon after and within a minute of finishing my salad, my Cannelloni arrived. Hot and delicious!! Marissa did a GREAT job and suggested a dessert. All the other waitresses were just as engaged with their tables as Marissa was with me. Wish I lived closer!! read more

Service was meh, food was meh. Definitely over priced for what you're getting. Absolutely no reason to ever return. If I order a 12 dollar salad I really would hope it's more than iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, and some terribly cheap tasting chicken. Do your self a favor and just cook something at home. read more

Well. This was my second choice. Lunas was closed. So it's been years since we've been here. Unfortunately won't be back anytime soon. Place half empty. They said they would set up a talbe. Ten min go by. Nothing. They where not that busy. Maybe a lot of deliveries??? I wall next door to the mexican place. No prob. So I go back one last time. Finaly find someone.... I REALLY wanted a calazone... He said they are setting it up now. I look in the dinning room.. No one around... Mexican food it is.. read more

I'm sorry to give such a poor review after getting such friendly and attentive service from the bartender. Unfortunately the items we ordered were so bad as to be barely edible. We came in on a Thursday night at 6pm and saw the sign for Happy Hour in the bar. My friend and I took a table in the large, dimly lit bar area directly across from the bar itself. I was impressed to see high tech wine preserving/dispensing equipment and was looking forward to a good time. There were four people in the bar including us, we should have seen the warning signs. The bartender greeted us in a very welcoming and open manner. She explained that draft beers & house were a dollar off. That was the entire happy hour. Undeterred we got drinks and looked over the menu. It is pretty extensive. The bartender recommended the risotto as "yum in your face". We had eaten a late lunch so opted to split a large farmhand salad and spaghetti carbonara. We were offered and accepted warm bread and butter as well. The salads came out looking great. Fresh lettuce mix, thin slices of zucchini, mushrooms and ripe grape tomatoes. Sadly, the entire salad was DRENCHED in the sherry vinaigrette. So much so that it was pooled deeply in the bottom of the bowl and dripping off of the salad as we took bites. I managed to eat off the top fresh veggies and skipped the extremely salty croutons. The meal got worse when our spaghetti carbonara arrived. It was nicely split and plated topped with a sprig of fresh parsley. But even on first glance you could see all the broken noodles and scrambled egg bits. The pancetta was nicely browned, but the noodles were overlooked to the point of being squishy and flaccid. Both my friend and I took one bite and couldn't eat another. It was really that bad. Really! Fortunately the bartender checked on us shortly after the food arrived and we apologetically told her that the carbonara was really not good. She apologized profusely and quickly offered us another entree. After much debate we settled on a vegetarian calzone. The salad veggies had been fresh and how can you ruin a calzone, right? The calzone came to the table a strange shade of orange. It had a crispy exterior that crumbled to bits as you cut into it. The interior was cheesy, with mostly olives and onions. Which were fine. The artichoke hearts had a sour, off taste. At this point we were trying to make the best of a bad situation and had plans to attend a concert after the meal. We picked out bits of the olives and cheese and focused on a second round of drinks. We planned to make a meal out of the bread and butter, but the bread tasted like wonder bread and half of our portion was dried out and inedible. Again the bartender checked on our replacement dinner and neither of us had the heart to tell her it was terrible. She was so sweet and said " I want you guys to enjoy your meal". It just didn't seem like it would happen here so there was no point in telling how bad the calzone was and we had to go for a concert after our meal. When we got our bill, the bartender had comped the carbonara and given us one round of drinks free. She did all that she could to make the meal pleasant for us. We both felt sorry for her and tipped her generously despite the terrible meal. Hope she gets another job at a better place. read more

Being a native of this town I like most are pretty familiar with DiCicco's. Decent Italian food, usually coming in with a coupon from the paper or circulars. What got me into this location in particular is a rather good lounge with an awesome comedy show. Danny Minch puts on some great shows with a lot of great comics. I highly recommend coming in for a show, a couple drinks, and a really good calzone. read more

We had lunch at Dicicco early in December. We've also enjoyed their calzone. Food is as good and service is friendly. Here's the problem we had. Our lunch was $18 for which we left a $3 tip for a total of $21 on our Visa card. When we received our Visa statement, I noticed a $26 charge. We called to question and we told that they couldn't read the tip amount. They thought it was for $8 which is ridiculous for a $18 meal plus the total amount was down there. My wife has called 3 times and promised that manager would call us back. It's been 3 weeks and we no longer are going to waste any more time on this for $5 but very disappointed and will never return! Beware! read more

This is our go to place. Got engaged here, birthdays happen here. Food is the best. Staff always friendly. The lounge is a great place to hang out. They run a comedy show Friday and Saturday show some great talent from all over. Monday and Tuesday the locals go up for open mike along with a headliner. The show is free just bring tip money for the talent read more

I love the show from Fresno Comedy house, 4-5 x per week. They are the best comedians I have seen, I'm person!

Yuck. This is the Denny's of Italian food. Starts with the decor... worn plastic booths, cheesy grape bunches stenciled on the wall and celling, obviously fake flowers placed in vases on the tables... and continues with the abysmal food. The "red" sauce is bland as can be, lacking any discernible spice or complexity. And, it includes large chunks of onion. Not nicely chopped, sauteed onions, mind you, but CHUNKS. I'd rather have Ragu. The pasta is cooked to death- pure mush in your mouth. Bread served with the meal isn't warm or particularly fresh (ours crumbled like only a day-old baked good would) and it's served with very standard butter (no olive oil/vinegar mix here). Minestrone has puddles of orange oil floating on the top. The service is fine, but with food this flavorless, I might very well rather go to Denny's. read more

If you want amazing Dicicco food do not come to this location... The only Diciccos worth going to is on shaw and vaness or downtown fresno or on kings canyon. This location is terrible because they don't follow the traditional recipes like the locations i have listed. Don't let this location give Diciccos a bad wrap. Its unfortunate that part of the family knows how to cook and run successfully and the other half gives its name a bad wrap. The food at this location is alway terrible. read more

Service is ok. We all 5 ordered dishes with chicken. The portion of chicken per dish was at best a 1/4 of a chicken breast. For the price, not returning. read more

We were seated at a fold out table in the back room. It was lit up like a classroom. Too bright! The food is bland and over priced. And we were also given meals that we did not order. Manicotti dish drenched in cheese grease. Fettuccini dish had no flavor. Pastas served in cereal bowls. For an $18 dish it would be nice to have more attractive server ware. I will not eat here again. read more

If I could I would give this place a -5 stars. This place was horrible for several reasons: 1. My wife placed an order and we were quoted and hour and twenty minutes. We finally had to call back after 2.5 hours. We were told that the driver would be leaving in 20 minutes. They didn't even have the courtesy to give us a heads up, we had to call them to get an update. 2. When the food finally arrived over 3 hours later, it was cold. 3. We ordered the appetizer sampler, and it was completely wrong. It was missing 2 items. When we called after it was delivered, we were informed that there were a few different kinds of samplers (none of which was explained to us at the time of order). Furthermore, when we called back to ask for what we ordered, we were rudely told that we were looking at the wrong menu and that they were not interested in rectifying the situation. 4. ALL of the food we ordered was bland and cold. The Alfredo tasted like skim milk with no salt or cheese. The noodles were boiled into oblivion. They literally fell apart when trying to pick them up with a fork. The cheese sticks were limp and soggy, the chicken tenders were rubbery, and cheese bread was flavorless. I will repeat. When my wife called to speak to someone about the order, she was told that since this was clearly her fault, they would not do anything to rectify the situation. We will never order from DiCiccos again. Do yourself a favor and order from a respectable establishment with edible food. NOT HERE! read more

I absolutely love this Dicicco's over any other one here in the fresno/Clovis area !!! They have amazing service and delicious food, everything comes out in a timely manner and most of the time you don't have to ask for refills or for anything to come with your food because they always ask and make sure to bring it to you. Also I have never had a a problem with this location as I have at other locations. They are definitely very clean and organized here. read more

Held a private party recently in the lounge. Great service and great food. What an awesome venue and the bartender and server were attentive the whole time. I will definitely book my next party there! read more

What happened to this place?! The food was okay and even the bread if not as good. The serving sizes are small for the price. The delivery driver didn't not bring me my salad an had to come back. It's not worth the money. read more

Absolutely terrible catered food today. We ordered 2 trays of spaghetti to serve at a family reunion. We have always loved the food at DiCicco's and that is why we decided to go with them. It was terrible!!! Although the trays were filled with noodles there was only a thin layer of sauce on the top which made it so dry and lacking in flavor. I was so embarrassed to serve this food to my family because I have always enjoyed the food here. I would never recommend the catering services from DiCicco's. read more

The service was horrible our waitress was rude and didn't care about checking on us to see if we needed refills. The chicken in the scarface was dry and way overcooked when I complained the waitress could of cared less. I recommend you find another Italian place to eat at. read more

I can honestly say this was the worst experience I've had in a long time. Dinner was really good and the service was great until they realized I had a groupon. I had a credit on the balance so I had to order something else. I ordered a dessert to go and was told they did not have that dessert in stock that night so I ordered another. We waited for 25 mins and finally ended up walking out. The server came by twice to say it was coming right up. She then said as we were leaving and after I had paid that they just didn't want it to be cold. Worst experience I've ever had. If you don't want to provide service for a groupon don't place a groupon deal. I've eaten here many times and after this experience I will never eat here again. I had my 92 year old grandmother with me. Horrible behavior. I'm absolutely appalled.. read more

Had the worst calzone today. Disgusting taste and was way over cooked, will never eat at this place again!

I've been eating at DiCicco's in Fresno since I moved here in 1977. There is no way this one is related to them. Came here with a group of 7 for my birthday. The food took a full 45 minutes from when the server took our order. No apologies, no explanations. My calzone was barely room temperature, as were others' orders. Worst of all, my daughter ordered Chicken Caesar Salad and what finally arrived was a dinner salad with a little chicken on it. When she pointed out that Caesar salad should have romaine lettuce and no tomato or onion, the reply was "they must have been out of Romaine" and so I guess that was that. We asked to see the manager and he replied that they were short handed and so he wasn't aware of what had happened. They eventually got some Romaine and comped her salad. But, with Luna's right down the street, why would anyone want to go here? read more

Never again ! Ordered for pick up. The rude girl on the phone wasn't very helpful . When I got back home i discovered my 80 dollars was wasted on a total disappointment .The four plates of food were small ,cold and lacked any effort. 15.99$ each plate for total crap. I've had better Italian food from a can .I also have to mention the "fresh baked " bread was stale and hard . I think I was served the un eaten left overs from the dine in customers . I honestly used to love this place but after this experience ,to hell with them! read more

Went there because we had Dicicco's years ago and loved it, so we decided to check it out since Luna's was closed for the day. That was a big mistake. Barely any people, but lots of empty tables and yet it took 20 minutes to get seated. Service was mediocre with waiters walking by several times without stopping to take our order, we had to go up to the register and ask for a waitress to take our order after waiting 20 minutes at our table. Waited almost an hour for food while people just coming in had half the wait time and were eating within 30 minutes. The food was very greasy and lackluster in flavor. Do not bother eating here until they improve, it will ruin Italian food for you. read more

Tried out this diciccos for the first time with my family and we were all disappointed It was not good at all! The food was lacking flavor and the bread tasted old. This place does not taste like the other Dicicco's. I will never go to this location again. The DIcicco's on Blackstone and Barstow is 1000 times better than this location!!!! read more

The Scarface is delicious. Most everyone that has lived or grown up in Fresno / Clovis is familiar with this chain of resturants. And no, they are not created equal. The menu varies a little bit from location to location, and some locations are definitely better than others. It is good homemade italian food. read more

I lived in Clovis during the days the Dicicco family business was still picking up steam in the 70s and 80s. I've since moved away, retuned recently for business in Clovis and decided to give Dicicco's Old Town a try. The restaurant is tired. The table service was very good and I was tag-teamed by a server-trainer and trainee. I had the Chicken Picata meal and it was very good. Also made me laugh...growing up in Clovis in 60s & 70s knowing only head lettuce with no taste or nutritional value as "lettuce" and learning of all the other tasty and nutritious varieties. Come on Dicicco's, Italy doesn't serve (or likely even experienced) head lettuce! The big turn off though was the uncleanliness of the men's room and lack of towels even the second time around after reporting it 30 minutes earlier to my server. I'll check out nearby Luna next tome around. read more

Dependable staple Italian food. The cheese tortellini with Alfredo sauce is good, as is the ravioli. Be careful of the cheese on the pizza, as it can sometimes be a little salty. I agree with Sara, the calzone is really good. While some of Jenni's points are correct, the old decor and the bread is sometimes not so fresh, I'd rather eat here than Denny's any day. read more

Went here with friends for Paint nite. Bartender seemed overwhelmed but also had no sense of urgency. No beers were available on tap, and she didn't know what they had in bottles without opening the fridge and reading them to us. The jars they kept the fruit in for drink garnish were literally crawling with fruit flies...it was completely disgusting. She would take your order, forget it, take it again, forget you ordered food....it was just bad. We will not be back for any reason. read more

Don't get me wrong, the waitresses and the hostess were wonderful... Super nice and courteous. The food was horrid... Ordered a bowl of fettuccine alfredo for $16 and thought I would've got more for that much... it was bland. Just bland sauce and undercooked noodles. Oh, and if you want parmesan, they give you the kraft stuff in a bottle. read more
