Di Fara.

Worth it, says Antonina. Opened in 1965 to Italian immigrant Dom De Marco, Di Fara has been a labor of love for more than 50 years.

What I wrote thereFold it away

Opened in 1965 to Italian immigrant Dom De Marco, Di Fara has been a labor of love for more than 50 years. Nearly every ingredient is imported from Italy, including the olive oil that douses every pie after it emerges from the oven before being crowned with freshly-cut basil. When De Marco passed away in March 2022 his kids took the reigns, keen to keep their father’s legacy alive for the next generation of New Yorkers.
