    Portion sizes were vey small for the price. Had a pizza with half anchovies and they got anchovy oil on the other half. Pizza was good other than that. Calamari was decent, but I have never seen a serving so small. Bartender was great and the service was good.

    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are committed to delivering high-quality dishes that reflect both the ingredients we use and the effort our culinary team puts into every plate. While we aim to balance portion sizes with quality and presentation, we regret if the portions did not meet your expectations. Additionally, we apologize for the anchovy oil affecting the other half of your pizza; we will address this with our kitchen staff to ensure greater attention to detail in the future and that was an exception done for you since we do not half topping pizzas. Your input is invaluable as we strive to provide the best dining experience possible. We hope you’ll consider visiting us again, giving us another opportunity to exceed your expectations. Warm regards, MGT

    This is Italian food reminiscent of Italy, not of an American "Italian" restaurant. Both our meals were outstanding. Prices are fine-dining-high, but are comparable to other such restaurants in Nashville. Our service was terrific, all staffers were friendly and helpful. We had a lovely time. We will definitely return when we're in the area.
    DeLucaResponded on December 3, 2024
    Thank you for sharing your experience! It's wonderful to hear that you enjoyed authentic Italian flavors reminiscent of Italy itself. Outstanding meals, friendly service, and a welcoming atmosphere can truly elevate a dining experience. While fine-dining prices can be high, it sounds like the quality and overall experience made it worthwhile. Glad to hear you plan to return—safe travels and happy holidays!

    Unfortunately our experience was not what the majority of the reviewers have experienced. The lasagna was very dry. The veal was excellent. The calamari was served with no sauce. Never been anywhere that you had to pay an extra $3 for a small bowl of marinara sauce. No bread which is different from most Italian restaurants. The side of bolognese pasta was less than a cup full for $11. Tiramisu was fair and served in a cup. The service was excellent. Very attentive without being hovering. Excellent atmosphere. The overall quality and portion size of the good for the cost was not appropriate. Won't be back.

    Hello Mike, We're truly sorry to hear about your recent experience at DeLuca. We strive to deliver the best food and service, and we're disappointed to hear that our lasagna, didn't meet your expectations. We also acknowledge your feedback regarding our marinara sauce portion and the side of bolognese pasta. We're glad to hear that you found our service excellent and the atmosphere pleasant. We will certainly take your feedback into consideration as we continually work to improve our offerings and service. We hope you'll give us another chance to impress you in the future. Best regards, Angelo Ferrante

    Our first experience was positive. Good authentic Italian food and service was excellent. The only funny thing was Tiramisu in a mason jar. Very funny for a restaurant priding itself on being Roman. We enjoyed our dinner and would recommend.
    DeLucaResponded on November 18, 2024
    Thanks for the feedback, William! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed our authentic Italian food and found our service excellent. The Tiramisu in a mason jar is not unusual in Italy to be served in it, we won't have it served it if not authentic! We appreciate your positive first experience and recommend DeLuca to others. We hope to serve you again soon!

    This is a hidden gem. Don’t let the location in a strip mall next to Chuy’s fool you! An authentic Italian restaurant with top notch cuisine that outmatches all the other Italian restaurants in town. The veggies, the wine, the fish sous vide, the waiter- all true Italians. This is our favorite Italian restaurant in town now and we have been to Italy at least 7- 8 times so we know the cuisine very well. Don’t think too much and go; will not regret.

    Hi Tito, Thank you so much for your glowing review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our unique Italian cuisine and found it to be superior to other Italian restaurants in town. It's wonderful to know that our team's Italian heritage added to your experience. We appreciate your kind words and look forward to welcoming you back to DeLuca soon!

    This was our 3rd visit, and we tried the pizza, and lasagna which were wonderful. Of course, we had to have the cannoli, which was the best we have ever had. Our server, Cavin, was very attentive and knowledgeable. The owner made sure to welcome us and see that we were happy with the meal. We will return again...and again.

    The food and the service were both excellent. Truly authentic Italian in every way. The owner provided a warm welcome, our server knew the menu well and offered advice about the freshest ingredients, you can see through glass the meticulous work going into each plate, they have a good assortment of wine at various price points. You just have to get past the fact that it’s in a strip mall to step into a lovely neighborhood restaurant that feels like you are in Italy. They kindly accommodated my husband’s diet restrictions. Don’t skip the limoncello!
