Di Cicco's Italian Restaurants & Pizzerias

There are things I will never understand. They use a high quality cheese, but the crust is terrible, like frozen premade. It ruined the whole pie. I hear that they are not owned by the same person. They were split up after the parents passed it on. The one I went to was on Blackstone by downtown.

The server was very nice and felt bad that I disliked the food. 10 stars for her.0 stars for the so called italian food. Sauce tasted as if it was out of a can. This is in no way italian food. The sauce was not mixed with the pasta . There was water on my plate. I did enjoy the bread and the coke. Shame on this place for calling this italian food!

Worse experience we ever had at this we usually ask for a booth in the past the hostess would sits us but tonight the the person who represents the restaurant and image by her rude approach towards was Acceptable her response we asked to to be seated was no not for to people even though there numerous empty booth she told us you can not be seated we my fiance and I were very disappointed since we would visited this restaurant so disappointed show a lot of how the dicicco my family restaurant train their employees, the best of this bad we were to find a great restaurant and that in Northside of fresno with great customer service great presentation

So most of the post's that I've seen or from many years back, I would like to add a recent post 2023. The food was delicious service was beyond exceptional. Our server name Murphy went above and beyond, and did more than I've ever seen a server do any restaurant. now I've eaten at many Di Cicco's around Fresno and Clovis area and I would have to say that this Di Cicco's has a really great marinara sauce. I ordered the Combination plate to try all 3 spaghetti,lasagna, and ravioli perfectly cooked. It's a must go

Most disgusting meal ever.Manicotti tasted like raw dough. Husband had ribeye and prawns ordered med well, it was so raw I'm surprised his plate wasn't mooing.. service sucked. Ordered bloody mary server came out and asked if it was ok because bartender accidentally put something in it...like wtf??? Never will be back again :( disgusting

The food is okay. The service is some of the worst I've ever had. Really not sure if I'll go back at this point.

I was told the food here was delicious by several colleagues, so I decided to give it a try. I called ahead to minimize the wait time for pickup. In the middle of placing my order, the woman who answered the phone said, "this is for pickup, right, because we stop delivering at 2pm?!" I exclaimed that she'd interrupted me, but yes, my order was for pickup. I also noted for her that it was 2:02pm... Anyway, I pushed on since the food had the promise of being delicious. Oh, how I hoped!I ordered their half-half meal and chose lasagna and ravioli (spaghetti is also an option for this meal selection). In addition, you get to choose soup or salad and bread comes automatically. When I arrived at their restaurant, I saw a chocolate cake on display behind the counter. It looked deliciously homemade, so I asked to add a slice to my order. Sadly, the cashier went to the beverage cooler and pulled out the chocolate cake from Sam's Wholesale Club. It was still in the packaging from the wholesale store... I said, no thanks and kept it moving with the pasta. Now I was wondering... what else was store bought...? When I returned to my office with lunch, my disappointment continued to grow. The minestrone soup was basically a celery stalk soup. While it is true that there was also cabbage and carrots, the VAST majority of the pieces were big celery chunks. I wondered where the noodles were...? Just as I got to the VERY BOTTOM of the styrofoam container, I noticed several broken pasta pieces - the equivalent of 1/2 of a spaghetti noodle. Plus, the taste of the soup was just plain bland. I'm not a fan. Yet, I persevered with hopes that this Italian restaurant would know how to make Italian food. The lasagna should be called, "ricotta with a hint of meat" lasagna. There were several layers of the cheese and at the very bottom layer was a scant smattering of meat. Plus I shudder to say that the tomato sauce was STORE BOUGHT without the benefit of a flavorful transformation! Seriously?! It reminded me of college days, when we bought the cheapest pasta sauce to make food in the dorms. Or better yet, even competitors on Food Network's Chopped know to transform ingredients such as canned tomato sauce. Garlic, onions, anything! Sorry, I digress. Their ravioli was no better than the Chef Boyardee ravioli in the can. And once again, the meat was but a faint mention. Overall, this establishment demonstrated poor service, un-transformed store-bought food and a serious lack of flavor. Both thumbs down...way down!

Are there enough words to describe how much i love this place ? Being a Fresno raised kid I remember eating there on Friday nights . Their heavenly Calzone w red sauce . The homemade bread w cold pats of butter. I live in Las vegas now and this is a foodie town . But I've never found anyones food like Di Cisco's. And yes I had to review and believe this every time Im in Fresno Its a must do to eat here at least once . Keep on cooking you all are the best !!

I love this place this will be my second visit this week. I know I know too much. How can you say to much Italian, that's like saying to much Mexican lol. Does not happen, I love the atmosphere of the restaurant and the staff.

Di Ciccos on Shields at Armstrong has excellent food and excellent service. Owners care about their customers and they never disappoint Beautiful and relaxing ambiance I visit them often.
