At Di Paolo’s our journey began with our beloved grandparents, Maria & Albert Di Paolo, who humbly opened a family pizzeria and small grocery store known as Italian Kitchen. As the aroma of freshly baked pizzas and the taste of homemade sauce filled the air, they, along with our father, Michael Di Paolo, expanded, adding more seating to accommodate our growing clientele. Before long, the bustling atmosphere and the buzz of the satisfied customers prompted them to evolve into a full-fledged restaurant where families and friends could gather to enjoy well portioned Abruzzese meals and lively conversation, while being entertained with live music throughout the restaurant. What truly sets us apart is our commitment to treating every guest like family. Whether you’re a regular patron or visiting us for the first time, you’ll always be welcomed with open arms and genuine warmth. Come join us at Di Paolo’s, where good food and good company come together to create unforgettable memories.

    Fast,friendly and 100% accurate service.We got seated right away and had our food within the next 15 mins.we got there at 7 and was done our food by 7:23😂Waiter was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed.I liked that he kept checking in with us because everytime we usually go out we usually get left for a while and have to flag someone down.This was the first place we've been to that we didn't have to do that at all.Drinks was good too and they have a bar set up in the middle of the restaurant which I found pretty unique.Definitely recommend and will be coming here again.

    It had been about 8 years since I had been to Banks. The oyster selection is decent. The Brussels sprout salad, clams casino and Lobster in the Nude were great. The only downside was the clam chowder, that was all potatoes and no clams.

    First time here but it won’t be the last. Food was excellent and the service outstanding. A little noisy but could still carry on a conversation at a table of four.

    We started with the Small plates of Avocado and then the Salmon. The Avocado dish was divine...perfectly warm with tantalizing flavors beneath it. The salmon was really good but we weren't fans of the "crisp" that comes with it which is made from the skin...too fishy for our taste. That's a personal preference. I had the burger and my wife the Cacio e Pepe. Both were also excellent.
