Del's has become a very reliable destination for our special occasions. The team there never disappoints (even accommodating last minute changes because someone's brother forgot to tell him there was an extra 3 people accompanying him for dinner - we love a surprise, don't we?), and I have yet to find anything on the menu I didn't absolutely love. The dining area is quite cozy (as is the parking lot), so the ambient noise can make having a conversation at normal volume a little tricky, but that would be my only (very minor) complaint. Service is attentive, quick, and welcoming. And the flower-pot bread with fancy little butters? I could dine on that alone and be entirely content. Lastly, I would caution folks to come with empty stomachs; you WILL (happily) over-indulge!

We chose this restaurant to celebrate my (and a friend's) birthday, and it couldn’t have been better. The food was absolutely delicious—every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. The service was just as impressive: friendly, attentive, and made us feel truly special. It was the perfect spot for a celebration. Highly recommend!
Dels Italian KitchenResponded on May 26, 2025
Thank you so much for celebrating such a special occasion with us! We’re thrilled to hear you and your friend had a memorable birthday at Del’s. It means a lot to know that both the food and service made your celebration extra special. I’ll be sure to share your kind words with our team—they’ll be so happy to hear them. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back soon for another great experience. Warm regards, Robin Lefebvre General Manager, Del’s Italian Kitchen

I've been here close to 50 times and every dish is pitch perfect. Large portions for a great price and the leftovers are even better the next day. Servers are very friendly and cocktails are tasty too. The Valentine's and New Years Eve Prix fixe menus are excellent, I'll never celebrate anywhere else. I highly recommend the Bruschetta, Chicken Parmesan and the Cheesecake but make sure you try out the pizza and the rotating monthly features which are always interesting and flawlessly executed. The atmosphere is equal parts fancy and comfortable, suitable for dressing formal or casual. I've been to some of the nicest restaurants in this country but this will always be my go-to. Every person I've taken here has made it their regular spot too, if someone has something bad to say about this restaurant I would like to speak with them personally.
Dels Italian KitchenResponded on June 6, 2025
Wow — 50 visits and counting! That means the world to us. Thank you for your incredible support and for bringing so many others along for the ride. Hearing that Del’s is your go-to spot for everything from weeknights to Valentine’s and New Year’s is truly the biggest compliment. I’ll be sharing your kind words with our kitchen and service teams — this kind of feedback is why we do what we do. We can’t wait to welcome you back again soon! – Robin, GM
