    We had a party of 7 dining at Delizie a few days ago. The service was friendly and very attentive by the wait staff. The restaurant is small, quaint, intimate, and cozy. Waters for the table, fresh focaccia bread, and olive tapenade were provided for our table. The bread and tapenade were exceptionally fresh and so good. We had to control ourselves from eating too much of the bread. We shared calamari fritti as an antipasti - lightly breaded calamari and carrots - delish - crispy on the outside and so tender inside. The entrees are substantial portions for our small stomachs, so we primarily shared between twos... The shared entrees were the pappardelle al salmone, fettuccine al porcini, and spaghetti alla carbonara. All the entrees tasted very good, the salmon dish was a little too salty, otherwise the rest if the entrees were well seasoned. We could tell all the pastas were freshly made. We all loved our meal... black coffee were ordered and was very smooth to taste and hot - we could tell that it didn't come from a drip coffee maker. The coffee was a nice ending to a wonderful dinner. We highly recommend Delizie.

    Great restaurant for a date night or catch up with friends. I liked the fact that street parking was plentiful and the restaurant had a lot of open space. Our group started with the grilled oysters and calamari. Oysters had a great buttery flavor and the calamari was standard. The beet and salmon salad was delicious and fresh. For our mains we had the Ribeye, gumbo, and pasta with scallops. The gumbo was packed with seafood and flavor, a must get. The ribeye was standard, but ours came a little over cooked. Lastly if you are looking for a cheesy seafood pasta they got it. I liked this restaurant a lot from the food, the staff, and the ambiance.
