DiCicco's Italian Restaurant
Best Family Italian Restaurant in Fresno · CA
Red sauce and family recipes since 1956
DiCicco's has served red-sauce Italian comfort food to Fresno families since 1956, when the DiCicco family opened their first restaurant in the valley. Generations have grown up on its minestrone, ravioli, chicken parmigiana, and thick-crust pizzas served in big, welcoming dining rooms.
Now a Central Valley fixture with several locations, DiCicco's remains the definition of a family Italian restaurant here — the place for birthdays, team dinners, and Sunday plates of pasta.
