Mama Delia's experience is fantastic, the music, the service, the place, every detail!!! The food is particularly outstanding. We had the octopus, iberico jam croquettes, and the black rice. The flavor and texture were divine and sexy. We had a wonderful time and the joy of sharing a beautiful and delicious meal created by the Mama Delia ambience.
