Delizioso Italian Grill

Here's my problem with this place...it's legit too good. I live here now. Let's start with location: A subtle corner in a nonchalant neighborhood. The patio is covered and the temp is PERFECT. I brought a jacket just in case. The indoor dining area also was climate controlled. Both areas were quiet (bands do perform, check the schedule!) It's clean...not a piece of paper, puddle, etc to be found. Servers have their hair up, The bars are cleared and wiped. We waited a womping 37 seconds to be seated. The couple in front of us said, "don't worry, they are quick here!" I got the impression that folks are regulars here. Our server, Jen, was attentive, friendly, and knew the menu. The menu...welp, what's your fancy? Casual pizza? Apps? Fun drinks? Fancy surf and turf? I went with the latter. Guys. Don't miss this. $38 for this huge portion of PERFECTLY COOKED meat and lobster tail PLUS these sides and a salad?! Sold. No sauce needed. Better than any steakhouse. Hubby had the meat lasagna. Apparently better than mine. #rude. Bonus points for service on a legit sizzling hot skillet. So, yeh...go ahead and take that potty break mid meal. Wash ya hands...your meal will still be hot when you return. Like a nice drink with your meal? Ask your server for their specials. They serve Coke products (yay!) and trust me...they are a generous pour on alcohol (Uber and Lyft are available!) My only complaint? My dumbass didn't get dessert! Tell Jen and Joe I sent you!

Get the espresso martini! 🍸 You will not be disappointed. Best one I ever had. This place great Italian food. Had two meatball subs in a week. Really good! The staff is so attentive making sure you are well taken care of. They put their customers first, as it should. Thank you!

Stop here if you're looking for authentic Italian. What I loved: the portions were large(hand for reference), food was well seasoned, my veal entree was tender, and the staff(especiallyJen) and space were inviting. What I didn't like: that my eyes are bigger than my stomach, LOL. That's not their fault, though. Next time I'll start with dessert. We frequent the velodrome and we wish we would have stumbled on this place sooner. Now we know and will return.

I went here for the first time tonight. They were very busy, but our waitress and assisting staff were amazing. We were asked multiple times if we would like more bread and if we would like any refills, which I thought was actually really impressive because restaurants do not tend to do this anymore. Our food was absolutely delicious. Their garlics knots were some of the best Ive ever had. I had the Lobster Ravioli. It came with scallops, shrimp and crab in the sauce. I personally had enough to take home for dinner tomorrow. I will definitely be coming back here again!

My wife and I decided to try out Delizioso as we have lived relatively close and have seen it on our drive. We walked in and got seated pretty much straight away. The server was very hospitable and attentive. We started with garlic knots and two expresso martinis, infused with bourbon. For our mains, we each choice differently, I picked the chicken francese, and my wife decided on the gluten-free pasta with bolognese. Overall, everything was above average portion wise, overall taste, and presentation.

Both the pesto and the vodka sauces were delicious! We got them both with the cheese tortellini. One had grilled chicken that had a very good grill flavor to it. Our waitress was super friendly but seemed overworked. The one star I didn’t give them is only because I think they need a better service system. Our waitress was great but all over the place so it took longer to get drinks. We sat out in the patio and the atmosphere was amazing! They definitely need a better channel option on the TV’s though, between Spanish TV and bare knuckle boxing I don’t think that is good for the crowd that was there. Overall it was a great experience and we can’t wait to go try something else from there!

I am trying to figure out why this place has such a high rating. The place itself is very nice. Nice decor, good lighting, plenty of seating. The staff is very friendly but slow. We sat for about 15 (no exaggeration) minutes before someone came to take our drink order. We finally ordered the food and it literally came out in 5 minutes (red flag). The food was probably some of the worst Italian food I have ever had. We ordered chicken parmigiana and angel hair pasta with tomato sauce and a tortellini with pesto dish. What we got was a three burnt (not over cooked but burnt) chicken cutlets and what seemed to be a low quality jar tomato sauce on the chicken and pasta. I could not cut through the chicken with my knife. The pesto for the tortellini dish was more of an Alfredo sauce that also tasted like a low quality jar sauce. We hardly ate any of it. The presentation was nice and portions were plentiful but I would have rather had less at a better quality. The prices aren’t cheap either but once again I don’t mind paying if it’s quality food. Maybe the ratings are high due to the fact that the place has a bar. A couple of drinks and anything tastes good.

Hands down my absolute favorite Italian place to visit! The most friendly staff, super friendly owners that treat you like family. Portions are way more than fair, with excellent flavor. Their garlic knots are delicious. Extremely clean atmosphere. I'd recommend to anyone!

This is our #1 restaurant in the Valley! Always fresh ingredients you can taste the love and quality in every dish- you will take home a big portion. This is a family business and they care about people- you will have a conversation and some laughs here. The patio is large and heated for colder months- watch a live band and have a wood fired pizza- life is great! Delizioso is Home!

Vodka sauce was great! The owner is amazing so kind, came and talked to us. She works her ass off. Ambiance was interesting, design feels odd, lighting was okay. I asked for a linguine and so did two other ppl at my table...they GAVE US FRICKING SOEGETTTIIII! The last type of pasta I want. Pasta type are VERY IMPORTANT to the overall experience. Like a nice angel hair pasta on a hot spring day just MAKES the scene. I also didn't get a spoon with my pasta to roll it onto, is this even ITALIAN!! Portion size was too big, I'm soooo bloated, but my DP (doctor pepper) with lime was good.

This was our first time here since it was Italiano Delite. We hated the old place. It was clear after our meal tonight that it is under different management and chefs. The salads were AMAZING! We had lobster soup and Italian wedding soup and everyone loved the soup! We also had an Italian hoagie. Which was very good! We will definitely be back to order again. This was a take out order so I can't comment on the restaurant but the food was so delicious and a nice surprise at that. We will definitely definitely definitely order again!

Such an amazing experience! Rosa was so kind to us and service was great! Food was absolutely amazing! So incredibly delicious!!!!!!! We can't wait to go back again! The cannolis were amazing! We enjoyed seeing the band also they were great!!!!!

We were here a long time ago when it was Italiano Delite and were not impressed so stayed away. Since it's been under new management for awhile we decided to give it another try. This time we went in to dine. We were pleasantly surprised by the decor ans overall feel. It was pretty nice. There was a party going on in thr back room so we couldnt see that part. We ordered wings, mozzarella sticks, an antipasto and some pizza. I was still not impressed. The pizza was just ok. The pricing was quite high for the quality of the food. Our waitress was new so I can't fault her for being slow and not attentive because she was still learning. This place doesn't have a nice outdoor patio with bar that is probably nice in the warmer months but I think I'd just only go for a drink.

Very friendly and attentive servers, in fact, very, very sweet people. Great garlic knots and soup - loved the lemon chicken rice soup. Even though it was very salty I still kept eating because it had such a great flavor. They seem a bit confused about their food. Last time went I got the Chicken Piccata. It was horrible - it wasn't a lemon sauce with capers - it was a vinegar sauce COVERED in capers with a little bit of lemon. I sent it back. Tried the bolognese that time and it was very good. This time I got the Veal Saltimbocca. It was, I guess you'd say, odd. It was a plate of pasta COVERED in slice after slice of very thick dried out WHOLE, uncut slices of prosciutto. The cheese was stuck all to the salty, thick, tough prosciutto so what was the point since that part was completely inedible. The veal and sauce were good, but the garlic was raw and sliced - I prefer a fine mince and some sauteing of the garlic. Saltimbocca I've had in the past had large pieces of the main protein scallopine with a thin slice of prosciutto over the top so you could still see the main protein and then a layer of cheese over that. It would be so much better if they'd do it like that.

Service is always immaculate. Rosa and Ninfa are the sweetest people, always great catching up with them. Food delicious everytime. I get 3 meals out of their pasta dishes. And the drinks always delicious.

Food was awful...my scallops were rancid. My husbands class were under cooked. Great atmosphere though

This has to be the worst Itialian food I ever had. A seafood bisque thin as water basically with no seafood or taste. The chicken Alfredo with broccoli was terrible! First, it wasn't linguine I ordered it with was angel hair type pasta and it was cut up! The Alfredo sauce was like glue. The grilled chicken was good but the entire dish very salty. I will never go back!.

Great food, large servings, great service/staff!!! Reasonable price. Has a nice bar; large glasses of wine reasonably priced

my first visit here was for a takeout pizza. I stopped going to Italiano delight, its previous name, because of consistently burnt pizza! no better luck here but since it was my first visit I won't give a bad review just a caution. $24 for a burned pizza is not what I ordered. the bottom was black and tasted like charcoal. I will give them another try but this pizza should never have been served. first impressions mean a lot in the food business. being busy is no excuse.

Went here for my aunt's 50th. Proud to say that this place sucked lol. Went here for my aunt's 50th. Proud to say that this place sucked lol. food is kinda gross and dry

I had a wonderful dinner with my two besties here! Great drinks, great food, and Danielle, our server, was wonderful and attentive. The food came out just as requested and perfectly timed and Danielle checked on us multiple times even though the place was packed. My friends came from out of town, and they loved Delizioso. Can't wait to go back!

Had dinner there tonight. Was amazed at how delicious my Parmesan was. Extra garlicky knots, and wonderful homemade sauce. The pomegranate martini was also exceptionally well made... Probably the best I've had! Beautiful new dining room, And friendly, gracious service too!

Drinks were amazing, friendliness was spot on, bread delicious, soup was wonderful and so disappointed with the Chicken Parmesan, which was so dry. On a positive note, the sauce was amazing!

Formerly Italiano Delight, the restaurant has been renamed and now completely owned by Joe and Rosa Mannino. The entire inside of the restaurant has had an amazing renovation. It now has a full bar, booths, regular tables and bar top tables, a side room for parties and a covered outdoor patio. The decor is a more classic crisp modern. They have a few TVs if you need to watch a game. They still have an outdoor window for Italian ice and gelato. The food is their family's classic Italian recipes and delicious. The servings are large and average priced. The staff is very attentive and helpful. Definitely worth trying.

We went there last night for the first time. We have to say we really enjoyed our food. We got the veal marsala and also the chicken penne alla vodka. Each serving was a really nice portion. But most importantly we thought the meals were flavorful and cooked perfectly. We will be back.

Exceptional food! Italian food is our favorite. The food was authentic and absolutely delicious! Best garlic knots of all time.

This family business pours their hearts into this business. Food is awesome. I will order from and visit often and bring visitors here without hesitation.

Last night I attended a birthday party at this restaurant and the food was fantastic and the service was great. This was the first time that I was there and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

They had a band in their pavilion and we had a good time. Food was good but the bar tender was completely overwhelmed. Waited 15 minutes to get a beer and I asked for my check she put her finger up and told me she'll get back to me. The worst bartender I've ever seen.

The pizza was horrible the last two times we got it from there. The medium had a crust that tasted as if it came from the freezer section of a grocery store, the sauce barely there, and not enough cheese. Frozen pizza would be better. I don't know what changed but we don't want to go back agai.

Good food, large portions and excellent service! Since the major renovation the ambience now matches everything else that is wonderful about this place.

when taking an order don't stand behind the person to take the order stand along side of them, or in front of them. when taking an order, don't stop and start a conversation with other customer. And if you write the order down you wont forget and get order WRONG.

The food was excellent. The ambience was pleasant. Service was very attentive. I thought the prosciutto wrapped scallops with sautéed spinach was the best. Chicken parmigiana was very tender. My husband asked them to make him a chicken cheesesteak with pesto sauce and they were very happy to make it for him and he said it was delicious. Prices were a little above average but the quality and large portions more than made up for the price. I believe you get what you pay for and this meal was well worth it. The cannolis were on point as well!

This is one of our favorite places to go. It has been recently remodeled and is absolutely beautiful. It's a family business and every member of the family goes out of their way to say hello. The menu is very extensive and the portions are vey big we always get two meals out of it.

Name has changed to Delizioso Italian Grill, Went last evening early with friends. Food was great and hosts are very nice and pleasant. They were a bit overwhelmed do to lack of help but this is the case everywhere any more. We didn't mind because it gave us a chance to catch up with our friends and enjoy our wine. The owner is such a sweetheart I remember her and her daughter from Italian delight in Emmaus. I wish them well and good luck getting some more servers. Love the patio out back where we ate very nice atmosphere

If you are looking for a good Italian-American restaurant in this area, you found it! Individual portions are VERY generous and can easily be shared amongst friends and family. Price is also good considering the amount of food served. Food tasted good and service was excellent.

What an all-around place! The food was amazing, the location is pleasant, the prices are good, and the staff is so friendly and kind. It has a very authentic Italian feel to it, which I think is important. The patio eating area is homey with lights and decor. I had a wrap and my sister had a hot sandwich, each for $10. They were both amazing. Rosa was as down to earth as you could be. She was welcoming and on top of everything. Looking forward to returning!

We love this place! It has changed since I was there a several years ago. Food is fantastic and service is awesome. Rose can't do enough to make your visit the best. Family-run business that tries their best to please. I love their food and always have a tough time deciding what to order. Love Grandma's pizza, pasta dishes, and more! And great wine!

Name is new - Delizioso. Completely remodeled with a great outdoor patio. Eaten here twice. Good prices. Huge servings. Husband had the Deliziosopennne both time. Full of seafood. My chicken piccata was very good. Friends had shrimp scampi and a Stromboli. Both excellent. Service was good and very friendly. Thank you Rosa!

Place has really gone down hill. Got two lrg pizza's for $38 and where disgusting. They made a big change in something and it was not good at all. My wife and two kids agreed it was awful. Last time we got hoagie's and they where only ok. Price increase while offering poor quality food has lost our business. Two time is enough for me.

Ewwww we use to eat here. Obviously no more. Roaches active and droppings on walls and boxes that is a major roach issue and that is disgusting

Lovely place! Great food! Run by a terrific family who are always happy to see you. You can't go wrong with Italiano Delite for lunch or dinner or a party!

My family and I have been coming to Italiano Delite for years, and we always enjoy the experience. You can tell that it is a wonderful family-owned business because of the great service. They feature both Italian and American fare. Their garlic knots are loaded with garlic, their sandwiches are fresh and have good, leafy lettuce, and even their marinara is wonderful, which makes every dish it's used in amazing. They recently added soft serve ice cream which is very rich. I've attached photos of some of our favorites.

I ordered the shrimp parmigiana w/ spaghetti and garlic knots. As my friend and I began eating and enjoying this food she found a dead roach in the spaghetti. Horrible Valentine's Day.

The food is great,the service is good and the staff is good but Rosa is the best. She is always attentive and makes everything just perfect. She is the backbone of the business. Very hard worker!

Ordered a large chicken parmigiana sandwich and an order of cheddar waffle fries. We were disappointed that the chicken parmigiana sandwich was made with chicken fingers. The breading and sauce was bland, the roll was okay. The waffle fries very "well done", not burnt though. They tasted greasy and were too salty. We'd be willing to try the food again, but order other items.

Ordered the soup of the day, which was lobster bisque. It was very clear that it wasn't lobster, that it was imitation crab. I also ordered the pierogies which were absolutely soaked in oil. The Italian wrap I ordered had a disgusting amount of dressing on it. My wife did like penne vodka, but that was it.

I had the best Vegetable Stromboli ! Fresh and full of many great vegetables , I go there because Rosa and her daughters are so friendly . Everything was hot and ready on time

Outstanding as usual. So much food to take home. Great food and great service from Rosa!

Beware! Still in the yellow phase of the pandemic and the servers and bartender did not wear masks for dining on the patio!

We are dinner here for the first time and the food is delicious! The garlic knots are over the top and the bolognese sauce was some of the best I've had. Service was also top-notch. I would have given it 5 stars but for the atmosphere. My advice to owners is to purchase an inexpensive dimmer for your lights. No one can enjoy their meal under harsh, glaring lights. Fix this and I'll be back again and again!!

Not good at all. Staff is rude and food taste horrible, and its dirty especially the bathroom.

Pizza is pretty good but they use sausage crumbs for their pizza instead of real slices sausages, too bad. That's the lazy way, pizza would be a lot better.

The food is always great! BUT I ordered milkshakes and it tasted like we were being poisoned with cleaner. We took one sip and immediately spit it out. The awful taste stayed in our mouth and wouldn't go away. Whatever you do- DO NOT ORDER THE MILKSHAKES

My brother in-law ordered from their website which is run via a company, "Slice." Which, by the way, doesn't matter. If you as a business owner decide to place your business online like that - it's yours. Own it. Do not blame somebody else. Anyway, he ordered my sister a wheat pizza with cheese, because she doesn't eat meat. First - the order took like an hour to reach us. Second - when it finally did get here, the pizza was all wrong. Tons of toppings, including chicken - meat. My brother in-law called the restaurant. The first guy he spoke to had an attitude and asked. "Well whattya want me to do? Drive six miles to you and bring you another pizza?!" He was on speaker, so we all heard. My thoughts? Yea you freakin jackass. We gave you money for a service. You as the business , did not provide that service. We as consumers, are giving you our hard earned money and we chose your place over all others to do business with, and you are going to give us, attitude? Screw you. Where do you come off? Your reply should be, "thank you. Your business is important to me, it would be my pleasure to make good and bring you the right pizza." Then somebody else got on the phone. She's nicer, but claims that their paper menu clearly states how that particular pizza comes and that that the site we ordered from is to blame. That they were wrong, so they need to reimburse. My brother in-law had to explain twice: once to the restaurant and another time to the "Slice" people that he chose the pizza, picked no toppings and that his confirmation clearly listed just a wheat pizza with cheese. Now "Slice" needs to contact the restaurant to find out what the issue is. My brother in-law may not get his money back. Like a bank researching a fraud claim on a debit card. Simple as this: pizza was ordered from a pizza place. Pizza was paid for, did not arrive as ordered. Business needs to make right. Somebody needs to make right. Hey - its YOUR website. That is what your establishment puts online and asks customers to order from. Its not hard. Reimburse the money. Or better yet, I would love that first guy to yes, drive us another pizza. I won't even eat it, I just want him to do it because he was a jerk about it. I want to look him in the eye and smile at him as he hands it to me. Then i might feed it to my dog.

Frriendly staff good food we are from Los Angeles ans tried local restaurants after the dog show, highly recommended!

Decor is outdated and dirty looking. Our waiter was nice, but not very attentive and service was very slow. Took almost 45 minutes for our food to be served, but thankfully it was good.
