“ Fabulous balsamic vinegars, fresh and frozen pastas, and cannolis!! They also serve sandwiches and hot food for take out or on-site eating/patio seating that we've yet to try, but we're looking forward to it! All very reasonably Priced. ”

“ Had the pizza and classic Italian grinder and both were SO good!! I had to wait a bit to get them but was worth the wait! Even went back two days later for more! ”

“ I finally visited this place and could not be more excited! I will likely start coming at least every week! In addition to homemade pastas and sauces, they have ready-made pasta dinners like chicken francaise to heat and serve at home. They have TONS of grinders and pasta meals you can order hot at the counter. They have a PASTRY CHEF who makes all their desserts. There are all kinds of olive oils in bulk you can pour your own bottle. There is even a small amount of seating if you want to be able to eat your hot food there. I wish I would have taken a pic of my Sicilian style pizza slice. It was insane! And only $4!! I bought soooo much stuff to bring home. I am so happy! Customer service is outstanding! They have more than enough people to help you. The line was slightly slow when I was there, because she was training a nice young man whose first day it was. All of the staff was smiling and working hard. They can go ahead and add me to their list of regulars, because I will be back often! ”

“ The hardest decision to make is what sandwich you want. Chicken cutlet and meatball are the go-to. They also have a great selection of pre made meals, as wells as speciality items. ”

“ I absolutely love having DiFiore's up in this part of CT. Being able to stop by and pick up freshly made pasta, salads, desserts, garlic bread, deli items, and premium Italian grocery items has been a game-changer for the meals I'm serving up at home. I most recently popped in to grab some special cheeses for a new lasagna recipe, and I added a container of fresh Caesar salad (dressing is in a separate container) and a fresh tiramisu for dessert. It made making dinner so much easier, and both items were delicious! The Caesar salad bowl made 4 good servings, and the dressing was fantastic. The tiramisu also made 4 servings and was the best I've had! I also picked up a gift card for my future son-in-law's birthday. He's Italian and is used to amazing food. I couldn't wait to hear back when he used the card the next week. He told me he was very impressed with DiFiore's offerings. He'd picked up fresh ravioli, some kitchen items, and fresh cookies--all which he raved about. You've got to try the foods and oils here. It's just a lovely shop, buzzing with business and smiles. ”

“ Great food! I've known the DiFiores for over 20 years , personally and working for them. Don and Colleen are great people!if you have not tried their food you are missing out!! ”

“ I celebrated my birthday today with my love, my kiddos and their significant others. We had a wonderful lunch DiFiore Ravioli Shop - Ellington. I have driven by this place several times in the past two years but i am always on the way somewhere and in a time crunch. Not today though! If you have not been there - go! They have a small dine in area and serve freshly made pastas, pizza, and grinders. We brought our own wine but they do sell drinks in a cooler. (BRING GLASSES OR CUPS AS THEY DONT HAVE THEM) The food was amazing. Michael and I both had the Shrimp and garlic ravioli with artichokes and capers. It was served with a few pieces of focaccia bread that was perfectly baked. Michael who doesn't usually go for pasta was quite impressed. He is still talking about it (he wants to go back and order more for tomorrow ) we each had left overs so he can eat that for dinner. Lol. Brandy Charland and Julie had the butternut squash ravioli. I had a small taste and it was OMG delish! Sweet and savory and the pasta perfectly cooked. Jeremiah had the ravioli in a pesto sauce. I didn't try that one but he said it was delicious as well. Kevin had the traditional ravioli in a red sauce. I tried a bit of the sauce on focaccia and it was light and flavorful but not sweet. My opinion it was perfect! We brought home a few ready made meals of eggplant parmigiana (my favorite ) and a Chicken Piccata (another favorite). This was by far one of the best meals I have had out in a very long time. Even thought the dinning was not more formal, I think we all preferred how it was set up - think relaxed italian home dining. Very comfortable, small , warm, and inviting. There was so much to look at in the retail area from fresh made pastas, sauces, salads, breads, oils, vinegars, cookies, candies, and desserts. We all agreed it was the perfect spot and a great pick! Do your self a favor and check out this little pasta shop in Ellington, CT. You will not be disappointed. ”

“ Stopped in to complete the Ellington trifecta. Kloter Farms Ice Cream Barn, LuAnn's, and now DiFiore's, all in close proximity to each other. I really enjoyed DiFiore's. It reminded me of similar Italian specialty stores where I grew up in Yonkers...and it rivals the ones in New Haven (the one on Fenwick comes to mind). Pasta is made on-site, and there are numerous coolers w various types of pastas and sauces. There is also a freezer w house-made ravioli (pumpkin is featured this time of year). The Italian bread looked amazing, as did the pizza and cookies. For me, the hit was the area to the far left w prepared dishes. I ended up buying three stuffed portabello mushrooms (stuffed w wilted spinach, topped w mozz and strips of red pepper) and shrimp salad. Spoke w the owner (from Massapequa LI), who takes pride in the quality of the products. I will definitely be back to sample more. And I'm looking forward to the spring, when the featured ravioli is corned beef and cabbage. 5 delicious stars ”

“ In a word, insane! Food is incredible!!! I'm addicted to the Italian grinder. Just an awesome place and staff is extremely pleasant and the store is aesthetically pleasing. A real class act. Glad your in the area. ”
