In 1978 DiMaggio’s opened its doors in this small Port Washington storefront. Since then, many changes have taken place. Not only has DiMaggio’s grown over the years, but many of our first customers back in 1978 are still visiting us today – only now they come with their children and even their grandchildren. We have enjoyed growing up with you.

One thing that hasn’t changed over the years is our commitment to preparing food with only the finest and freshest ingredients. Each dish is made to order and we are happy to create a dish to your liking – just let us know.

In 2007 we completed a renovation which includes a new exterior and a new interior. Inside you will find exposed brick, a new stone pizza oven, and a sweeping hand-painted mural painted by Angelo’s wife, Theresa, a local artist.

Our latest and most exciting project was just completed – the construction of an additional room in the back of the restaurant. This room replicates a courtyard (cortile) you would find in Angelo’s hometown of Conversano in Bari, Italy. We also have added a full bar to the front room of the restaurant.

At DiMaggio’s Trattoria we serve Old World traditional dishes in a casual atmosphere. That is the essence of a Trattoria – a place where there is something to please everyone from a slice of pizza, a hero, chicken parmigiana or pasta fagioli to a juicy, roasted veal chop. Here we also share with you our favorite dishes from growing up in Bari, Italy and Williamsburg, Brooklyn – roasted rabbit, polenta, stuffed zucchini blossoms, sepia (baby squid), jumbo artichoke Oreganata to name a few. Also, ossobucco over homemade gnocchi, cavatelli, and the Italian Flag – gnocchi pomodoro, pesto, and alfredo!

Enjoy pizza or a pizzetta from our new stone oven. Create your own or try one of our favorites like white pizzetta with roasted wild mushrooms or the DiMaggio’s bruschetta – flat pizza dough, baked crisp and topped with chopped salad with fresh mozzarella. Or try our homemade focaccia – soft baked bread slathered with hand-crushed tomatoes and garlic -- to accompany your meal.

In addition to our menu check our special board. You’ll find fresh seafood dishes that change daily such as Salmon Napoletana, whole Bronzino, and red snapper marechiara with clams and mussels. Save room for our homemade desserts such as tiramisu, Marianne’s Italian cheesecake and famous chocolate cake to tartufo, cannoli and more.

We hope to see you and your family soon. Come in and say hello.
