Mama Delia, located in Chicago's Wicker Park, is a modern Spanish restaurant and sherry bar offering a fresh take on what is happening in Spain today.

Mama Delia is a celebration of the authentic culture of Spain, today. Via our frequent trips to Spain each year, we are able to experience first-hand the cultural shifts this dynamic country undergoes and bring those flavors and culinary traditions back to Chicago.

Led by Chef Marcos Campos, our menus showcase the exquisite regional products of Spain with dishes that are ingredient-driven and nostalgic. Following Chef Marcos’ lead, desserts by Executive Pastry Chef Shannah Primiano combine classic Spanish sweet dishes with her more contemporary methods and intriguing ingredient pairings. The award-winning beverage team, led by industry vanguard Brian Sturgulewski, has built Mama Delia’s bar program around the inimitable versatility of sherry, not only as a world class wine but also as a cocktail ingredient without parallel.

    Paellas are great, I would order all of them if with a group. Food was unique and delicious. We were seated on the top floor of the restaurant which has a cool vibe but one in our group has mobility issues and it was difficult for them to climb that number of steep stairs. They should let people know that they could be climbing 3 flights of steep stairs and ask if anyone has mobility issues before they seat anyone in that area.

    We had a fantastic experience. We had the stuffed dates and the charcuterie board which were two great choices. We also had the hazelnut ice cream along with the Manchego cheese and onion chutney dessert. The ambiance is wonderful and euro-teriffic. The service was friendly and diligent. I hate that I cannot remember my server's name, but she was extremely knowledgeable, kind and over-all friendly. I would love to return here often. They also have an amazing selection of sherry!

    Awkward seating. We were seated at a huge table and when asked to change we were told that the other table were for reserved guests. Incidentally we also had advance reservations for four. Needless to say the dinner was spent periodically having to shout across the table to be heard. Our food was served timely but some items were not as good. Will not recommend the flat bread and the Tuna Tatar but the rest of items we ordered were very good.

    Terrific experience. Expensive as Spanish restaurants/tapas go, but very high quality and a funky comfortable ambience that works well. Paella was at an exceptional quality and thoroughly authentic for Valencia and surroundings. The “5 jotas” jamón iberico lived up to its rating and is a special treat for this side of the pond. Well matched wines: the sommelier did his/her homework. These were not routine choices and were of fine character. A return visit mos def in the works!

    Great food and service! Some things were sold out and it was a little chilly upstairs, but overall a great experience. Servers were knowledgeable and made good recommendations.

    Place was cool, but the foodrunner kept coming to our table while we were still eating. At one point a main entree was delivered, minutes later the foodrunner was asking if he could take away the plate. Also the foodrunner was just ok and kinda cold, meats were over cooked.

    Food was great but the service felt rushed. They kept trying to take my plate away with food still on it only a few minutes after arriving.
