Reviews for Diorio Restaurant & Bar in Waterbury, CT
Diorio is a wonderful, old school steakhouse. The ambiance, food, and service is excellent. I have only been there a few... times due to the distance from my home, but I want to go back soon when I am in the area. It is my understanding that they aretemporarily closed for renovation. I hope they don't change too much because the old world charm was warm and inviting. Myfavorites are the shrimp cocktail, lobster bisque and the melt in your mouth filet mignon. Can't wait to return for yet anotherwonderful experience. Read more
I haven't eaten here in a few years. Sadly, I won't return. For the price, the food was just ok. Our server was fine, but after... our salad and appetizer and had to ask for bread and we got one roll each. That was it. But the clincher was the price for apiece of cheescake and chocolate cake !!!!! $12 a peice !!!!!! I mean, $24 for two pieces of cake ???? Out of their minds!! HadI known, no way would I have ordered them !!!! I could've made a whole cheesecake for $10 and fed a family of 12!!! Totallyoverrated !!! Read more
We meet friends at Diorios 2 or 3 times a year and have always had a wonderful dinner experience. The physical surroundings are... evocative of an earlier era with roomy booths and a tin ceiling, the wait staff is always welcoming, informative and welltrained and the food has always been excellent. If you go, make sure you have the bananna banofie pie for dessert. Read more
Two nights in a row! Soon followed by a third. I must love it. Perfect shrimp scampi. Ribeye was a poor cut of meat beautifully... prepared and the wait staff was perfect. -------------- Loved it. Had the ravioli. A perfect dinner. Great staff. Really likethe peppers served with a warm crusty roll. Beautiful old-school decor of warm wood, brass, and mosaic tile floor. Read more
Lovely atmosphere, very European with dim, warm colors. It's truly pleasant just sitting here, admiring the fancy styling. The... service was nothing to talk about. It was just average, but quick enough! As for the food, it was good. Everyone loved theirfood, but I'm known to be unforgiving and overanalytical when it comes to cooking. I had pasta with clams and white wine sauce.The dish arrived hot right off the stove! But both my friends and I thought the sauce wasn't reduced enough, making it wateryand slightly bland. The clams lacked a bit of flavor, but weren't overcooked which is nice. The food was still tasty - but not$28 tasty. It's not like it was a rush, but I guess mistakes happen even to the best chefs. The best part was the dessert. Iordered the créme brulée (whatever the spelling is), and it was delicious. The crunchy, smoky caramelized sugar was somethingelse, and went really well with the creamy stuff underneath. I'd come here again in a few months, and I recommend you do too,you won't regret it.

Great restaurant! The food is always delicious and perfectly prepared. The service is always good too. There are some new lunch... specials and menu items and I enjoyed one yesterday. I had the blackened fresh yellowfin tuna sliced over a salad of lightlydressed arugula. It was wonderful! Diorio never disappoints. Read more
Absolutely fabulous place, food and service. I ordered Escargot appetizer which was amazing, not too garlicky but just enough,... then for dinner I had the ribeye topped with gorgonzola that was so tender and delicious I am still dreaming about it. Fordessert I tried the white mousse cake with oreo crust. It was simply out of this world. It had a creamy smooth taste, not toosweet. Service was 5 star, that old school classic style that is so missed today. It's such a stunningly beautifully place youwont want to leave. Read more
