Best pizza place in town by far. Clean and spacious inside, but we always do takeout and it's ready within 20 minutes every time and made to perfection. Great owner and staff that care about their customers. We've tried all the pizza in Berkeley Heights and this is easily the best all around. read more

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. read more

See my earlier review...( all my positive comments continued )..we dined at Dimaios Last evening ...outstanding as ever. I wanted to reduce my "Carbs intake" and ordered the aged ribeye...cooked to profection, medrare..with truffle ff. One of the best steak experience in a restaurant ( steakhouse and otherwise) Sal and his crew are treasures. I would make one minor constructive comment ..."the tables that seat four are too small...food dishes ,bread basket and white wine bucket..not great. Please address , thanks. Vito read more

first time visit. Good food, outstanding service, BYOB and overall just a great experience.

Fantastic and consistently excellent food. Great service from a helpful and wonderful staff.

The food is outstanding - served hot and visually appetizing. The chef will cook to order if you want to modify the menu selections. The staff is polite, efficient, and warm without being intrusive. We never feel rushed. As many times as we have eaten there, we have never been disappointed. One of our all-time favorites. read more

Nice space. We went on a Thur around 4:30pm and we were the only ones in the restaurant. Service was pretty good since we were the only ones in the restaurant although still alittle slow. Had the side of meatballs as an app. They were above average but not something I would order again. I had the eggplant parmigiana and my husband had chicken parmigiana. I thought the eggplant was a good rendition of this dish. My husband really liked the chicken parm. He said his was well cooked and the chicken breading didn't get soggy. This is really more of a 3.5 rating. I would give it a 3 and my husband would give it a 4. Solid italian especially if you live in the area. read more

Delicious. They made me carbonara despite it not being on the menu. It was incredible. We also had the chicken parm dinner and it was very good. Will be returning! read more

Review for restaurant Dimaios Very nice atmosphere, extremely nice workers, our waiter was superb. My order, not too good. No flavor and the salad they give is very small.

Pizza's are NOT THE SAME We received the wrong topping - peppers instead of pepperoni . The sauce is lacking flavor, maybe watered down? The crust was soggy. read more

Meh.., Slow service ( 2 hours meal for 3) Crab fettuccine tasteless and noodles were mostly less than 1 inch long and white sauce watery Sirloin steak unusually tough that we would not even bother to take leftover (most of it ) home Soft shell crab with vet done, tasteless $149 for 3 ... blah I'm visiting NJ ( where I grew up) from IL, what happened NJ to great Italians restaurants on every corner??? read more

Pizza takeout review only. Unfortunately our go-to pizza place in Long Hill township was closed for a summer vacation week so we tried these guys out. Large plain pie. Not even close. Sorry, just not that good in my opinion. It was undercooked and had a weird flavor. The dough seemed like frozen store bought. Maybe a bad night but 0-1 in my book. read more

My foodie colleague made a reservation at Dimaio. We had short wait for our table which was a good thing because this is a restaurant where you brown bag your wine/booze. Good thing there is a wine store a half block away. Wine in hand, Sara our server opened our bottles while we discussed the menu. They have many Italian favorites that are not listed on the menu but can be prepared for you I.E. Chicken Marsala. We ordered the Pork Chop, Chicken Parmigiana, Rigatoni with Sausage all the entrees came with salads & bread. The chicken & pork chop was so tender. Everything was delicious. We were talked into dessert. The cheesecake was so light, Chocolate Mousse was delightful, the Tiramisu tasty & the Limoncello was divine. This place is no frills, good Italian and filled with locals enjoying food & friends. read more

So glad that the front desk at the hotel had this restaurant on their list of near by recommendations. Being from AZ I was not sure how we would handle the outdoor dining in 28 degree weather. But the tent was well lit, comfortable and very worn. Each table had their own heater directly above. The menu was amazing. So may good choices, everything looked delicious. I went with the salmon piccata and it was delicious! The service was excellent and I look forward to coming back again next time I am in town. read more

Ordered over the phone -- no online? Really, in 2022? Ordered 4 chicken dishes: Valdosta, with mushrooms, prosciutto (allegedly; cook must've thought about it, but it's missing), and Asiago; Margherita, with artichokes and sun dried tomatoes; and Francese, in a lemon sauce; all served with ziti. Small chicken portions; excellent sauces. There's a very small parking lot up front, more parking in back. Good food, not a good bargain, but has potential. I'll go back. read more

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. read more

One of the better Italian restaurants in the area. Clams with linguine is an excellent dish . Wife had shrimp scampi said it was one of the best she had . Highly recommend this restaurant for a solid meal ! read more

We had a nice relaxing dinner on a quiet Tuesday night. The restaurant is small so I understand that you need reservations on the weekend. Our entrees came with a nice little starter salad. I really enjoyed my Bucatini Amatriciana. The restaurant is BYOB. Half of the building is a takeout pizza place but don't let that discourage you from a nice dinner on the other side! I noticed that the prices on the website are not current. Our dishes were all a few dollars more then the listed price so I hope they update the website. read more

I was nicely surprised today - because some of the food fotos on Yelp frankly weren't that great but this place was chosen by an associate. The traditional Italian American fare is actually very good, served nicely in a smart room and very good wait staff. read more

What's happened to the pizza? The Crust was undercooked and there wasn't enough sauce. The pepperoni was just placed on top and not cooked enough. We've been coming here for years. Just wondering what's changed? read more

I find myself in Berkeley Heights every other month, and when I do, I always come here for the pizza! I'm sure they have other things that are fabulous on their menu, but just a plain slice of pizza from them is heaven in my mouth! Mind you, I have to get two slices, because I inhale the first slice because it's so damn good, and then I have the second slice to savor and truly appreciate all the flavors this pizza has to offer. The crust is delicious, the sauce is delicious, and the cheese is just a right amount. I literally cannot think of any other place where the pizza is as good as Dimaio Cucina!!! Side note: I usually just get this pizza from the takeout window that they have set up in the front of their store. There is ample parking, but you have to drive around to the back to get there. Sorry, no pictures. I ate my slices too fast!! read more

The food is delicious and the ambience is so beautiful and the staff is so polite and friendly.

Came here for a Christmas gathering of friends and everything was great. We had a large table of 10 and the service was friendly and helpful when selecting our meals. It was a little slow, but the place was packed and we weren't really in a hurry. Food was delicious. I had a char-grilled rib-eye steak over broccoli rabe and my wife had the rigatoni pasta, marinara sauce with plum tomatoes and vegan ricotta, both excellent. Everyone else enjoyed their meals as well. The double cut pork chop, a house specialty, was a stand out. Would definitely come here again. read more

Very good Margherita pizza in the area. If you're looking for a delicious Margherita pizza with doughy texture, you won't be disappointed.

We enjoyed the food and service. It was pricey which we were not expecting. $18 for an apetizer was a bit steeper. Our bad it was a special and was not on menu. We should have asked the price' read more

Have gotten takeout several times now and have not been disappointed. Good pizza and entrees. Staff is always very pleasant.

We haven't been back for awhile and finally ventured back recently.. Our first visit years ago was phenomenal but in the past few years, our dining adventures took us to try new and different places but it was definitely time to return. We arrived early since I know that they usually are packed on weekends and parking isn't easy so early is best for parking ease. We continue to like the decor and environment. The service continues to exceptional. They are extremely attentive with frequent check ins and efficient. They move quickly so you can be in and out quickly. Our entrees had both highs and average items. The best items continued to be the seafood fra diavolo and we tried the pork chops which was our new menu adventure. The seafood fra diavolo was full of fresh seafood. The flavor of the fra diavolo was on point. The pork chop was over the top moist and tender and the pepper was the perfect add to the dish. It added the perfect touch of spice to every bite. The fettuccine bolognese and crusted rib eye steak were average/good. I had high expectation for the rib eye steak based on the description on the menu but didn't find anything special. The crust ended up a bit soggy and didn't add extra flavor to the steak as I had expected. The bolognese was average. Again nothing over the top. Reasonably good but nothing special for the price. We will continue to venture through the menu with future visits to keep trying new dishes. There could be hidden dishes yet to be discovered. read more

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. read more
