Using a combination of carefully selected imports & fresh, locally grown ingredients, you can indulge to your heart's desire in a variety of homemade pastas & traditional dishes.

    Best food outside of Italy by far...the freshness of the pastas, the exceptional sauces, focaccia and all the specially curated dishes...come for the food, stay for the ambiance and so much more! The owner, Francesco Ruggiero, and his team, treat you like family and if you're lucky you'll experience his musical talents on the trombone or concertina accordian.

    Fantastic evening. From the great food, to the great service from Francesco and the trombone playing from Francesco. Five us were there for over 2 hours and just had a great dining experience. My wife and I had dined there a couple of times before. The other 3 in our party had never been to Delizie. We will all return again...

    Loved the house made bread and olive tapenade and the prosciutto with Barada cheese appetizer. My dish, spaghetti con volle was dry, needed more wine sauce and I wouldn’t recommend. My friend noticed the other table of 4 had their wine poured for them, but they did not for us. My friend did enjoy her ravioli.

    Absolutely delicious dinner across the board. From wine (great Super Tuscan) to dessert (mango panna cotta and tiramisu) every thing was outstanding. We tried three vegetarian pastas- all were exceptional. The house made focaccia and olive tapenade was an added delight. Great service- we most highly recommend!

    Place was not very busy for a Friday evening. Very helpful staff. Salad was good although could have gone easier on the dressing given that it's arugula. Excellent gnocchi with seafood. Pappardelle with Cinghiale was outstanding. Used the Calabrian chillies to bring up the spice level to my liking. Dessert menu was quite extensive. Went for the Tiramisu which was also quite good. Appreciated the on the house after dinner liquer and bread to take home. Overall, had a great time. Will be back.
