    Our first time here, and it was awesome, so glad we found another place near home to enjoy.  Everything from the food to the service was excellent. It’s in a strip mall so not a fancy setting but great once inside the restaurant. I do wish the pizza crusts were made thinner. Perhaps this is just a personal preference, but true Italian pizza is thinner crust than how they serve it here. Everything else was on target and excellent.

    Our server was great. But on OpenTable when you mark that you are celebrating a birthday, the restaurant should read that and do something about it. Also, we ordered a seafood combo and asked for risotto instead of potatoes, and we were told there would be an upcharge. However, we got an upcharge for risotto, then another upcharge for keeping the vegetables as a "side". We asked at the end of the meal if that was correct. They said that a side of Risotto would be $10 or $11. So we could have had the full meal with potatoes and vegetables, plus a side of Risotto, for less than we paid for the meal with Risotto instead of potatoes. It really makes no sense.

    Very hot day in the SoOC, so dining out sounded like a good idea. We've enjoyed Delizie's many times and know how delicious their lasagna is and also their salmon. Both were wonderful as always; i had their lasagna, and there was enough to take home for lunch another day. My husband loves their salmon, and he was not disappointed. Well prepared; touch of lemon as he likes. Wendy took excellent care of us and could not have asked for any better service. It was a busy Friday night, but we decided on their tranquil patio, and since it was a warm late summer night, it was like being in Palm Springs, delightful warmth, no need for a sweater. A cool Cosmo for me and a Kamikaze for my husband completed our delicious meal.

    Our first time there. We were with another couple and we all enjoyed it very much. I had Tortellacci al Formaggio e Spinaci, and would highly recommend it. Very tasty. My husband had pizza and found it to be very good. The ambiance was very nice, roomy tables. We were there at noon on a weekday so it wasn't too crowded or noisy. Our server, Oswaldo, was great and the only negative was that he said they didn't give separate checks (which we like to have when we dine with friends). However he did then comply.

    We had heard about this place for many years, but unfortunately, didn’t have the opportunity to die there until Father’s Day dinner — we made reservations about 30 minutes before dinner, and had an amazing experience, amazing food, amazing service, and we will definitely be repeat customers… 😎

    Our waitress was outstanding and she had the advantage of having been a team member for several years. We sat on the patio - so much quieter than indoors. My only suggestion would be to reduce the music volume.

    It was a horrible experience overall but it is a clean restaurant. Almost all of the food is premade and they use jarred sauce of the lowest quality. It took over 30 minutes to get our water and because of that we did not order an appetizer. It took over a hour after being sat for our meal. The bolognese sauce was horrible. The pesto sauce was solidified. Pasta was reheated to the wrong temperature. The bar area looked okay. I wish I could say better things.

    Been going to Delizi's for many years now. A wonderful Italian spot, lots of locals fill the dining room. Their lasagna is super good, and my husband loves their Salmon. Their Caesar salad is great and also their ravioli! Now that we're seniors, the noise level makes it difficult to hear conversations. i think it's time to give up going on Fri/Sat's...at least at the very popular 6 pm slot. The gals next to us were in agreement. So glad to see how busy they are and that everyone was having a great time!! Just like pre-Covid days!!! Yay!

    We arrived on time for our reservation on Mothers Day. As you can imagine they were very busy but the host was pleasant and attentive. She took the name on the reservation and indicated that she would have us seated soon. It was a short wait and as promised we were seated at our table. The server Wendy was very good and attentive to our needs. While the food service was a little slow Wendy kept us up to date on the progress. The orders all arrived together and were warm and very good. All in all everyone had a good time and it was a very pleasant Mothers Day outing.

    We went for Mother’s Day and it was our first time. I reserved for 5. This hidden gem is in a shopping strip. It had a very warm feeling to it like “Home”. The staff was beyond sweet, attentive, & always smiling. Our server Wendy was just getting us everything we needed & quick about it. The food was so authentic, had a nice range of dishes. It was filling and delicious…everything just melts in your mouth “stuffed ravioli and tiramisu!” Thank you everyone there for having such a beautiful day for us all. 💚
