What People's Say About Place

Wonderfully intimate longtime trattoria in Delray Beach, owned and operated by a delightful family with service by an amazingly friendly staff. Every appetizer, soup, salad and entrée made to order, with offerings such as Lemon Sole, Yellowtail Snapper, Lamb Chops, Osso Bucco, and outstanding veal and pasta dishes. Desserts equally amazing. The repeat clientele since 1980 is testiment to this South Florida gem's success! Be sure to make a reservation!

It was our anniversary and we had the loveliest time. The food was amazing. The service was outstanding…Christy was wonderful (and so was everyone else).

Nice quaint restaurant with white linens and a very friendly staff. Wilma was a delight (front of house, inside joke, look at my name). I had the buttons bucatini amatriciana while my companion had the veal piccata with the veggie side course. Both meals were great. My meal nicely spiced (heat). Usually (our experience) other restaurants allow the diner to substitute the veggies for pasta, unfortunately this restaurant does not. If you want pasta, it's extra (and ranges in price). Definitely call ahead for reservations. If you tend to be cold, bring a sweater or jacket. Fine for me (former New Englander), though not my companion. Will I return? Yes. Though will have to remember that entrees include veggies not pasta (LOL).

Excellent service and food. I enjoyed the cannelloni appetizer with a side of spinach. Saved room for decadent lemon mousse with fresh berries (photo). Also had fresh made tiramisu at the table (photo). Top notch food. Quiet surroundings that became noisy as the meal progressed due to increasing customers. Arrived 5:30 pm and left at 7pm.

This place never disappoints, I always have different dishes and all of them amazing

Excellent The food was superb & the service was friendly, knowledgeable, & attentive Since It was Christmas Eve we even had dessert ! It was so good! Highly recommend it

Absolutely great from soup to gelato! Great service - thanks Kristy! We had a group of 4 for our anniversary. Mushroom soup - amazing, saltimbocca - best I've ever had, branzino(special) - amazing, chocolate gelato - incredible. We are so happy we spent our anniversary here. I'm looking forward to going back...often.

By far and away the best restaurant in Delray. My wife and I are long-time patrons. The chef, Luigi, is a creative perfectionist. Not a dish on the menu I would hesitate to recommend. And the waitstaff is fantastic. If you enjoy northern Italian cuisine, you must give it a try. You won’t be disappointed.
