    This was maybe the best food I have ever put into my mouth. John taught us how to fold napkin hearts. Angelo is the G.O.A.T!!!

    Very expensive for less than average food. Both entrees were over cooked and too salty.

    If you’re looking for a hidden gem that offers exceptional food and service, look no further. This restaurant is nothing short of outstanding. From the moment you walk through the door, you’re greeted with warm, genuine hospitality that makes you feel like you’ve been a regular for years. The staff goes above and beyond to ensure that your dining experience is nothing less than perfect, offering attentive service without being overbearing. The food? Absolutely phenomenal. Each dish is crafted with such care and attention to detail that it’s clear the chefs take immense pride in their work. The flavors are bold yet balanced, with each bite more satisfying than the last. Whether you’re in the mood for something light and fresh or hearty and indulgent, this place delivers on every front. It would be a true shame if this restaurant didn’t receive the support it deserves. The location might not be the most exposed, but it’s well worth seeking out. Great restaurants like this one don’t come around often, and it’s places like this that elevate a city’s dining scene. Don’t let this treasure slip away—make it a priority to visit and share it with others. The quality, passion, and excellence of this place deserve to be celebrated and supported. Highly recommended!

    Food was good ( not great) and fairly expensive. Service was prompt and friendly. Ambiance is cozy. Wine list is impressive but a little pricey.

    This was our second visit to DeLuca. We liked it the first time but LOVED it the second time. It’s a lovely little neighborhood restaurant with a delicious menu. Something for everyone at all price points. The lasagna was outstanding, my husband’s bolognese was fabulous. We will definitely be back! Keep up the good work DeLuca!
