On April 12, 1956, Mamma and Papa Di Cicco and their four sons opened the original Di Cicco’s Italian Restaurant. Papa would go in early every morning to bake fresh bread and prepare from scratch the spaghetti sauce, minestrone soup and everything else needed for the day. Today, we have 19 locations in California and are proud to continue on the family tradition. We offer delicious dishes like homemade lasagna, calzones, anitipasto salad and much more.

Depending on the time you go to this place it can get busy and parking is not great. Service was adequate and food overall was good. I’ve noticed their red sauce can be a bit bland, but their individual pasta dishes are usually great.

The food at this Dicicco’s tastes better than the others by the same name the sauce is rich and thick , the cups are nice size so you get your moneys worth. Very clean well lit.

Ok, so second time here at this location. The first time was takeout about a month or two after they first opened. The wife and I weren’t too impressed, so waited a while before giving it another chance. Today the service was perfect, but the food, just so-so. As with all of the Dicicco’s restaurants, the warm homemade bread was delicious. Moving on to the salad, it had a pretty decent amount of greens. To large to eat without cutting. The blue cheese dressing was a little runny and a little on the bitter side. Only came with three small triangles of cheese and three 1/2 slices of salami. Pretty boring salad. They do have a cranberry and walnut alternative if that appeals to you more. So, as for the Scarface pasta plate that my brother-in-law and I having always been huge fans of, it was a little disappointing. I’m not sure what the actual plate or bowl thing that it is served in is called, but I can’t stand it when I see them. They look like a big bowl, but it’s actually a small bowl with a large rim on it, making it resemble a plate. The reason I don’t care for these is that one of the main intentions behind these dishes is it “looks” like your getting a pretty good size portion of food, when indeed, you are not. Very deceiving. At first, our sauce was very watery. It was so thin, that if you look at my photo, all of the sauce is at the bottom of the plate/er bowl, whatever it’s called. It’s not thick enough to stay on the pasta. The chicken is cooked, but not browned at all. This leaves the consistency of the chicken too soft, and lacking flavor. Our favorite Dicicco’s was the one that Carlo Dicicco had on Blackstone and Barstow. Also, they would serve the Scarface on a huge oval shaaped plate. There was always enough to take home (not this time). I guess he just had higher standards, as none of the other Dicicco’s restaurants ever measure up to his. Sure do miss his cooking!!!

We enjoy DiCiccos and have visited many of them in the valley over the years. we visited the newest one on Shields and Armstrong this weekend for the first time. The food portions were the smallest of the chain and the most expensive by over 25%. see attached receipt. also the pasta side listed included in the entree on the menu was not provided to us. the Calzone, while pretty small compared to other DiCiccos was good but the veggies inside still raw. The eggplant parmesan was not properly prepared. they did not pre-salt the eggplant to remove the excess moisture so it was a watery mess of a dish. the service was really good and the atmosphere nice. the restaurant was clean and the bathrooms in great shape. all that being said, we will pass on this location in the future.

Located at the southwest corner of Shields and Armstrong, this newest Dicicco’s has more of a modern decor than its contemporaries but maintains the same exemplary quality of Italian food and service that has set this family-owned business apart for decades. Highly recommend!

Great service and clean location. Fairly new restaurant that’s worth a try. We had the original calzone and the Italian Ruby Salad.

I came here for dinner with my family including my wife and my parents. Service was outstanding and the food was amazing. I also had a nice chat with the manager regarding them installing Tesla charging stations outside of the restaurant. I would highly recommend this place.

We really like this Dicicco’s, the food is outstanding, the salads are fresh and don’t taste like a bagged salad. The Owner is very accommodating to ensure that you have a great experience, the dinning area and bar is top notch! A must try if you haven’t been to this restaurant!
