You’d have no idea looking at the outside but this is true authentic Italian in the middle of small town Woodward, Oklahoma! Great food! Highly recommend the Veal Arrabiata great slow heat that is super tasty!

Hidden Gem in a Small Town When locals insist you visit a place, it's usually worth the trip! Diarti Italian Cafe is truly a hidden gem you'd never find without a recommendation. The Chicken Marsala was absolutely amazing - tender chicken with perfectly sauteed mushrooms in a rich, flavorful sauce served over pasta. What made the experience special was the incredible small-town hospitality. The staff, especially my waitress Italy, provided phenomenal service with friendly conversation and genuine care about my dining experience. Everyone checked to make sure I was enjoying my meal. To cap off a perfect dinner, I tried their Italian cream cake paired with a glass of wine - absolute perfection! If you find yourself in Woodward, this unassuming spot is definitely worth seeking out. Scottsdale AZ

This restaurant is wonderful! We stopped in Woodward on our way to our family vacation. The food was excellent and so was the service. The staff is amazing. The day we were leaving town (a Tuesday), we realized our daughter had forgotten her purse at the restaurant the previous night. They are closed on Tuesdays. My husband reached out to them through facebook. Someone got back with us promptly and met us at the restaurant within 5 minutes. This allowed us to get our daughter’s purse before our vacation. We are so thankful for their kindness and helpfulness!

The very best Linguine & Clams I've ever had outside of Italy! I was so blown away. No doubt, one of the best dinning experiences I've ever had in Oklahoma. Trip Advisor says this is rated the best place to eat in Woodward. I can verify that. Clean, fast, friendly. The music isn't too loud, and the atmosphere is nice. Awesome Food! I was overcharged 5 on my bill, unless water costs 5. I ordered the Linguine & clams which in the menu says 14.99. But was charged 19.99. So watch out for that...

Today my family stopped by and ordered a pizza. We have always passed by and never really stopped in until now. We 100% regret not going here sooner. The pizza we got from here was by far the absolute best i personally have ever had and i have tried a vast amount of pizzas from all over the United States. The pizza isn't the only good thing about this place. The customer service and care that you receive from the staff is top notch. Nothing about this place could be better. Its perfect. Definitely stop here any time.
