(Sept. 21, 2017) DiFebo’s Italian Restaurant, a staple in Bethany and Rehoboth beaches, will open a third location by the end of October, taking over the spot on 104 North Main Street in Berlin currently occupied by Siculi Italian Kitchen.
“We are just thrilled,” DiFebo’s owner Lisa DiFebo-Osias said. “We love the town and love the people. How could you not want to open a restaurant in the coolest small town?”
DiFebo-Osias said she is familiar with the area. Her family has attended school in Berlin for 13 years and she looks forward to operating a business there.
“We are approached quite a bit to open [additional] locations,” she said. “Our intention is to never grow the business to the point where we can’t manage it as a family-run business. We are hyper-focused on where we want to be.”
She said a few minor tweaks to the property would occur after Siculi closes on Oct. 7. DiFebo’s will retain Siculi’s employees.
“It is a beautiful restaurant and there is not much we need to do,” DiFebo-Osias said. “We want to make it look like the DiFebo’s restaurants in Rehoboth and Bethany, and have a continuity between the three locations. We will cover the windows and unveil sometime at the end of October.”
DiFebo’s Italian Restaurant opened a Rehoboth Beach location in 2013 and has been operating in Bethany Beach since 1989.
