For more than 35 years, DiFebo’s has provided an iconic culinary experience, expertly marrying classic Italian cuisine with a fresh, modern touch that keeps its dedicated patrons coming back for more. Lisa DiFebo-Osias, honed her craft under the guidance of her industrious restaurateur parents, Bob and Charlotte DiFebo. She inherited her father’s culinary prowess and traditional techniques, as well as her mother’s sharp business sense.
Tradition is central to the DiFebo’s philosophy. Lisa is committed to bringing family recipes to life at their locations in Bethany Beach and downtown Rehoboth, always with an emphasis on quality. Every staff member, from managers to dishwashers, possesses culinary experience and a genuine passion for food and hospitality. The team continuously tackles challenges, learns and grows.
Lisa’s dedication to both honoring her family’s legacy and pushing boundaries is reflected in her accolades. Over the years, she has won multiple “Best Italian” awards, but has also been recognized as “Coastal Style’s Best Businesswoman” for four consecutive years. Additionally, DiFebo’s Market, which opened in 2021 as a culinary empire, has garnered acclaim for “Best Desserts,” thanks to its daily offerings of fresh pastries, cakes and other sweet treats.
For Lisa DiFebo-Osias and her team, maintaining tradition is about embracing innovation and looking toward the future.
