Pronto Cucina Italiana (Pronto Italian Deli)

Staff was amazing food was delicious me and my girlfriend got meatballs right as they were closing and they let us stay for a few drinks. Such a lovely place

Just had dinner in this restaurant for the first time. Ordered the zucchini blossoms appetizer stuffed with ricotta cheese , however at least 2 out of 5 did not have any cheese in them. Also ordered the pizza Norma with eggplant, mushrooms and basil and there were chunks of super salty eggplants with few mushrooms and 4 basil leafs , although the crust did taste good. Tried their truffle and mushroom pasta which was okay. Glad we tried this place , however No reason to go back again .

Three words: SHORT. RIB. RAVIOLI. It is absolutely phenomenal. Very seldom do I savor a dish for 45 minutes, but this was 100% a whole palette experience. If anyone is after the quintessential Italian dining experience, then Pronto Cubans is a no-brainer!! Knowledgeable staff, cozy atmosphere, and fantastic dining selections. If you have a sweet tooth, the TIRAMISU is on point! Bravo, familia—keep up the good work. I can easily say you are my favorite Italian joint west of the good Mississippi. Wow!! 😮‍💨👌🏼

Really good italian food!!

Picking up an order and was treated like I was stealing the order. I read other people's comments and that they got bad treatment and wanted to be sure if it was me only. They need to do better. Nobody walks in to steal food that doesn't even taste good.

We popped into this place on a whim while walking by, drawn in by the cozy vibe and welcoming atmosphere. There’s something special about finding a great spot without planning it. The service was on point, the food was delicious, and the cocktails really hit the mark. Can’t wait to come back soon.

Absolutely excellent food and service!! Spectacular flavor profiles here! They know what they are doing!

Really surprised how great the food was. First time here and by far our new favorite Italian restaurant

Since my order was to go, I can’t offer an atmosphere review. I took it home and could not believe what I was eating. A little slice of Heaven. I can’t wait to go there again, this time to dine inside, I hope. Del Mar needed a cozy Italian, sweet restaurant and this one hit the mark.

I just walked out of the restaurant a few minutes ago and felt compelled to write a review to testify to the Excellence of the restaurant and the warm kind welcoming of the family and other workers there.

The food is 100% fresh and 100% Italian, and as an Italian American I am naturally very discerning and demanding in this regard.

Just a beautiful place to sit and talk and meet people and chat and enjoy a glass of wine and fantastic food. I had the house salad and the meatball appetizer and the focaccia bread, all of which together made a fantastic meal with a rye cocktail and glass of red wine.

Everything reasonably priced and a very warm and comforting evening to remember. Cannot recommend this restaurant enough nor the excellent excellent market next door that has some of the most authentic Italian wines and products you can possibly get in southern california. Great joy to wander in there in the holiday season, and I look forward to returning and eating again maybe even tomorrow.

Know that I'm giving a 5 out of 5 for all categories but for some reason Google posted it as 0 out of 5 which is not my intention. 5/5 top most excellent ranking for everything and I hope it appears correctly on Google

It was our first time here, they were able to accommodate us even though they were booked for the night. Service was fast, and the food was delicious. The pizza dough was light, crispy in the outside and soft & chewy on the inside. All in all everything was great!

Seriously the best pasta I’ve ever had in the United States and maybe even the best I’ve ever had! The meatball appetizer was also AMAZING. The service was amazing. The manager/ chef was extremely friendly and helpful. We loved everything about this place. One of the best dinners I’ve ever had!
