   Excellent service…. The food would have been perfect except for bland Caesar salad. Prices are high, especially for salads. I would prefer they offer a small starter salad with entrees at a reasonable (12 or less) price. But over all a nice meal.

   Thanks for the review, Nina! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our service at DeLuca. We're sorry to hear that our Caesar salad didn't meet your expectations. We appreciate your feedback and will certainly take it into consideration as we continually strive to improve our menu offerings. Our prices reflect the quality of the ingredient we use, prime quality and no second choices. A $12 entree will entitle cheap products as other restaurants serve at that price. Chain restaurants offer salad and entrees in a bundle, we are not such restaurant, and we want to offer a true Italian experience with many courses to enjoy. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you again soon!

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

   I have had the absolute pleasure of dining at DeLuca Italian Restaurant on multiple occasions, and each visit reaffirms that this is a true gem for anyone who appreciates authentic Italian cuisine. The passion, craftsmanship, and attention to detail that go into every dish are unparalleled. What baffles me, however, is the audacity of some diners who seem to completely miss the mark when leaving negative comments. If you're seeking a cheap, cookie-cutter dining experience akin to a chain restaurant, this is not the place for you. DeLuca is for those who value the artistry of food, the finesse of exceptional service, and the warm embrace of a thoughtfully curated ambiance. The menu is a testament to authentic Italian culinary traditions with a modern twist. From the perfectly al dente pasta to the exquisite sauces bursting with flavor, every bite is a reminder of what dining should truly be. The wine selection? Superb. The desserts? Divine. To those leaving subpar reviews: perhaps consider that you’re not paying for mere sustenance here; you’re investing in an experience. If that’s not what you’re looking for, then maybe a fast-casual chain is more your speed. For those who do appreciate the finer things, DeLuca is an unforgettable experience, worth every penny and more. Bravo to the team for their unwavering commitment to excellence!

   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!
