If you're looking for amazing meat lasagna, you truly need to try DiMaggio Cafe. The portions were huge and the flavor was phenomenal. I am already looking forward to having the second half for lunch today! The server told us the pasta, sauce, and salad dressings are made in house. That explains the fresh and flavorful food! The server was pleasant and helpful. She and the wait staff helped celebrate my sister's birthday by bring a piece of tiramisu with a candle and singing happy birthday. The tiramisu, also made in house, was delicious! Two entrees, two glasses of wine and two desserts for just over 60 was reasonable especially considering the quality and quantity of the food. I will definitely come back when I visit family in the area! Next time we will order different dishes so we can share and experience more of the menu which I am guessing is all outstanding!

Delicious! Such a fun spot and cool atmosphere. We got the vodka rigatoni and chicken Marsala. Will definitely be getting both again! Aperol spritz and old fashioned were also great.

Nestled in a small strip of stores and businesses that are partially obscured by the adjacent Portillo's, DiMaggio is authentic, small Italian grace and cuisine. If you were able to dine at a small Italian eatery/bar in another part of the world, this is very, very close. Bakery goods on one side, bar, and superb pastas, chicken, sub sandwiches and a place where nobody will scoot you out. They do catering (it's very good). We like it for lunches (the paninis are superb) but with 10 tables (two for 6 people), seating may be a wait, but seating at their bar is just as good, and in some ways, puts you at the point of enjoying right where the food comes out. On one wall is a permanent screen for soccer games; be seated and enjoy a warm small loaf of bread with olive oil before a meal. You CAN'T leave here still hungry and for an afternoon sit-and-chat over coffee and desserts, it may be the perfect rest stop with a friend. Wander over from grocery shopping at Mariano's or stroll down Oketo to the elegant Eisenhower Public Library.

Located at 7326 W Lawrence Ave, this charming eatery is a local favorite for both its delectable dishes and attentive service, making it a must-visit destination for anyone craving Italian comfort food.

The menu at DiMaggio’s is a delightful exploration of classic Italian flavors. From succulent Meat Lasagna to hearty Pennae Arrabiata, there's something here to satisfy every palate. The portions are generous, ensuring that you won't leave hungry. My personal favorite is the Chicken Scapoli—a sumptuous balance of chicken strips, roasted red peppers, and artichoke hearts enveloped in a rich pesto cream sauce, lovingly tossed with cheese tortellini. It’s a dish that epitomizes the heart of Italian cooking—simple, fresh, and exceptionally delicious.

  • Starters: Don't miss the Fried Mix Plate featuring fried mushrooms, zucchini, and mozzarella—a perfect way to kick off your meal.
  • Pasta Dishes: The Meat Ravioli and Eggplant Parmigiana are also popular choices, praised for their homemade sauces that reflect the restaurant’s commitment to quality.
  • Specialty Pizza: For pizza lovers, the Salsiccia Pizza and Funghi Pizza are must-tries, each crafted with the finest ingredients and bursting with flavor.

But it isn't just about the food. The ambiance of DiMaggio Cafe is equally appealing—a cozy space adorned with rustic touches, ideal for both family gatherings and casual outings with friends. Many patrons rave about the attentive staff, whose dedication to customer service adds to the overall dining experience. It’s not uncommon to hear stories of staff going above and beyond, such as surprising guests with a birthday celebration featuring homemade tiramisu.

As you indulge in the hearty Italian fare, take a moment to sip on one of their carefully curated wines or enjoy a refreshing Aperol Spritz. The inviting atmosphere, coupled with a permanent screen for soccer games, means that whether you're here for a quick lunch or a leisurely dinner, you’ll feel right at home.
