The legendary history of Diorio Restaurant began in the early 1920’s. The late Rocco Diorio was responsible for the fine traditional food and many lasting memories for most of the people in the greater Waterbury area. The restaurant was closed in 1980 and reopened in 1991 after total restoration to its original splendor. The legend continues as we remain true to those endearing memories. We have the original marble bar, oversized mahogany bankers booths, tin ceiling and the most impressive acid etched mirrors displaying historical Waterbury. We also offer private and semiprivate dining spaces for corporate or private functions. Diorio Restaurant has once again reclaimed the reputation as Waterbury’s finest. It’s ambience, memories, history, and Northern Italian Nouvelle cuisine supply a new and exciting dining experience for the adventuresome palate.

My husband and I had an amazing time last night. Beautiful furnishing, especially in the main room with the bar, excellent service, and the food was delicious. My fig martini was perfect.
