    This was our second visit to DeLuca. We liked it the first time but LOVED it the second time. It’s a lovely little neighborhood restaurant with a delicious menu. Something for everyone at all price points. The lasagna was outstanding, my husband’s bolognese was fabulous. We will definitely be back! Keep up the good work DeLuca!

    Portion sizes were vey small for the price. Had a pizza with half anchovies and they got anchovy oil on the other half. Pizza was good other than that. Calamari was decent, but I have never seen a serving so small. Bartender was great and the service was good.
    DeLucaResponded on 9 December 2024
    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are committed to delivering high-quality dishes that reflect both the ingredients we use and the effort our culinary team puts into every plate. While we aim to balance portion sizes with quality and presentation, we regret if the portions did not meet your expectations. Additionally, we apologize for the anchovy oil affecting the other half of your pizza; we will address this with our kitchen staff to ensure greater attention to detail in the future and that was an exception done for you since we do not half topping pizzas. Your input is invaluable as we strive to provide the best dining experience possible. We hope you’ll consider visiting us again, giving us another opportunity to exceed your expectations. Warm regards, MGT
