our story

Since 2005

Maria and Frank Pyburn, and Josie and Phillip DiCristina, opened DiCristina’s Italian and Seafood Restaurant on January 6, 2005. While only eight months before Hurricane Katrina ravaged New Orleans and the Gulf Coast, DiCristina’s had already established itself as a quality restaurant serving the freshest and finest in Gulf seafood and Sicilian dishes.

In the 20 years DiCristina’s has been open, we have become known for serving quality, fresh food in generous portions. This is a tradition that the Pyburn and DiCristina families have strived to maintain. It is our sincere desire that you enjoy dining with us as much as we enjoy having you.
