Reviews for Di Lisio's Italian Restaurant in Winston-Salem, NC

The food was great. We ordered the antipasto Misto for an appetizer. The bruschetta and calamari was so good. The bread and... pesto dip was yummy. I ordered the veal Osso Bucco and it was fall apart tender. The mushroom risotto was so creamy. Greatflavor!! I also tried the salmon tuscana and pesto fettuccini. All great. My only wish is that it was a little quieter. It isnot a big space and when full, it is loud. Otherwise, I really enjoyed my first time. Read more

This is truly the best Italian restaurant place in Forsyth County. Their food is delicious. No matter what you try, your stomach... will leave full and happy. We got take out, and the food remains high quality. We ordered the polpa di granchio, frito misto,seafood dilisio, and linguini al vesuvio. I highly recommend this place. Read more

My entire family LOVED this restaurant. Authentic Italian menu, filled with seafood dishes, homemade pastas, VEAL OSSO BUCCO, ... delicious wines, and beautiful desserts and Gelatos. It was incredibly busy but we were seated immediately and the service wasamazing. Shawn helped our table with drinks, specials, and all of our questions, and kept everyone happy until the food arrived.???? Thank you for a lovely meal! Oh, parking can be tricky, but street parking is free after 6:00p.m. on Brookstown rightacross the street. Just watch out for the fire zones! Read more

For what the restaurant is attempting to be, a mildly upscale italian resturant, I don't think it really lives up to it. I got... the Risotto, which every mildly upscale and better restaurant should be able to do, and was very dissapointed. It was supposedto come with lump crab meat, which was mysteriously missing, shrimp and mushrooms. The mushrooms were obviously canned and therisotto was soupy and lacked any strong flavor of parmesan. The second photo, was the veggie chicken and aside from anoverwhelming pepper flavor it was pretty lackluster. The only good dish was the lobster ravioli, which my sister happened toget. Overall, the staff was friendly enough but between the extremely tight and loud seating area, high pricing ($23 forrisotto), and lack of flavor I don't recommend this. There are plenty of other, more flavorful italian restaurants to choosefrom. Read more

My family and I went to Di Lisio?s with pretty high expectations. We had heard great things and all the photos online looked... delicious. Overall, the experience was good and the servers were on top of it. However, we ordered an appetizer of calamari asthe reviews and pictures online looked amazing. The calamari we received looked nothing like the pictures and instead it lookedand tasted like something you would get out of the freezer section of a grocery store (90% sure it was). For a nice Italianrestaurant, we would have expected them to either serve fresh calamari or none at all. When we brought it up to the staff, theydidn?t comp it and instead gave us more calamari to go which we thought was a nice gesture but not the correct way to handle it. Read more

Absolutely love this place! Amazing authentic Italian food. They serve fresh bread with season olive oil that's to die for.... Small restaurant with mostly indoor seating, a few tables outside too. Get there early or call for a reservation to avoid await. We brought our kids and they were very accommodating to them, but they do not have a kids menu. The pictures shown are theAmici pasta and Baked Ziti. Both were wonderful! Read more

Menu was excellent. Lots of options. Food was delicious. Service was fast and attentive.

This restaurant was a fun and happening spot on a Friday evening. We were staying at Hawthorne Inn and found this restaurant... just a few steps away. They have a small place with inside and outside seating. With all the lively conversations andlaughter, inside feels like an Italian family dining room. There?s a nice bar and great service. Lisa took wonderful care ofus and was quick to suggest fun places for nightlife close by. Thank you, Lisa!! I only gave 4 stars because the entrees weretoo salty for my taste?you can always add salt, but cannot take it away! Read more
