37 Best Italian Restaurants in Delray Beach

“The most amazing Italian restaurant ever. The food is absolutely amazing. Family owned and they make you feel like part of their family. Could not recommend a better place.“

“The ceiling was dripping on us the entire evening..I asked servers many times .. all they did was twice came over with something to wipe off the a/c outlet.. I will hesitate to revisit this restaurant, seriously they cannot control the condensation“

“. I have tried many Italian restaurants in the area and Mattiello’s is the best by far. His is authentic Italian dining He is set up in a food truck on Federal with outdoor seating or takeout. The best lasagna ever!“

“I can’t speak highly enough about this little spot of heaven!!! I have been sending everyone and their mother here for their amazing L&B pie which makes me feel like I’m back on 86th street in Brooklyn!! I’m a huge foodie and this place blows all the pizzerias out of the water..literally…can’t taste the Floridian water 😂😂 The owners are amazing, the food is amazing, the service is amazing!!! The only thing that’s not amazing is the fact that you can’t just have one 😩…guess diet starts tomorrow 🤷🏻‍♀️😂“

“Buon Appetito! “Savior the Flavor”. Campi most definitely lived up to the hype. We heard so much about the new restaurant around the way at the Ray Hotel in Pineapple Grove, downtown Delray, so we had to check it out and see what all of the fuss was about. Upon entering the chic, upscale, and aesthetically appealing establishment, we were greeted at the door by two extremely friendly and personable hostesses who immediately sat us at our table. Luckily we had the good fortune of meeting Luca, one of the GM’s, as we made our way to our seat, He graciously welcomed us with a round of sparkling Rose champagne. That set the tone and mood for the evening. A mini charcuterie board consisting of italian salami, chunks of freshly cut parmesan cheese, and an assortment of olives was served along with a basket of freshly baked, hot, bread. I highly recommend dipping the bread and other items in the flavorful olive oil. Our waiter Sebastian was wonderful and very knowledgeable about the menu and made a few recommendations that were home-runs! We started with the caesar salad which was one of the best I’ve had in a while. The lettuce was cool and crisp with the perfect hint of anchovies topped with the right amount of freshly shaved parmesiana cheese. Oh and I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the sweet roasted mini tomatoes which were the perfect complement. Next up we had their lasagna which is the talk of the town. It was served as pinwheels, which was unique, and the homestyle sauce, meat, and other ingredients were so flavorful. It did not disappoint. We took a few minutes to digest and then it was time for the main courses. My wife ordered the pistachio crusted salmon with pesto and our guest JB and I shared the chicken parmesan and short rib agnolotti with fresh horseradish and crispy garlic. Each and every entree was perfectly prepared and presented, and they even split the portions for us. The showstopper was definitely the agnolotti!! After dipping multiple pieces of bread in the various sauces, I finally had to wave the white napkin and surrender. Unfortunately, we had zero room for desert but promised to indulge during our next visit. We will definitely be back! It was truly a special night at this exceptional, fairly new, player to the Delray scene. Lastly, Campi certainly lived up to the reputation of its family restaurant, Campagnola (on the Upper wast side of Manhattan). We cant wait for our next meal at Campi!!

“I had an outstanding experience at Gabriella’s Modern Italian in Delray Beach. The food was exceptional, every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The service was just as impressive, with a staff that was friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming.

A special thank you to Lucille, the General Manager, who went above and beyond to make the experience memorable. Her professionalism and hospitality truly set the tone for an incredible evening.

We attended their Fourth of July event, and it was fantastic. They featured Trump Vodka with promotional tasting models offering samples and showcasing their specialty cocktail for the evening. The turnout was amazing, the atmosphere was energetic, and it was a great way to experience the brand. After trying the cocktails, I was even told where I could purchase a bottle locally, which was a nice touch since we know we can’t buy bottles in restaurants.

Overall, Gabriella’s delivered an excellent dining experience with outstanding food, exceptional service, and a fun, well-executed holiday event. I highly recommend it and will definitely be back!“

“It was an amazing experience and the pizza and cheese sticks were great !! C ya tomorrow!!“

“What a transformation from the old 3rd & 3rd. Enthusiastically superb service, excellent and ingenious food, and beautifully decorated. The only improvement we can suggest is that they trade in the rock heavy house music for something more soothing.“

“We love going to Casalina because of elite staff members like Marsha, Claudia and Reid. They are SO good at their jobs, they treat us like royalty. They’re professional, charming and totally attentive. We feel at home when we’re there. The good food goes without saying, but if it were not for these incredible people we would go somewhere else.“

“Dined at Rose's last night,,what an absolute delight,,now in my top 2 Italian restaurants between Boca and Delray !!! Am I am very selective“

“The food is very good but the restaurant was really noisy and difficult to hear the waiter and ourselves! The servers walking by bumped into us constantly. We were a party of six in a cramped corner. The food came out faster than we would have liked.“

“Amazing 👏 #6 is the go-to so far!“

“Beach Club was easily one of the highlights of our trip to Delray. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between upscale and relaxed, with a great energy that only gets better as the night goes on. The food was outstanding and every cocktail was just as impressive. The staff made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in and provided attentive service without ever feeling intrusive. If you’re looking for a place with incredible food, great drinks, and a fun vibe on Atlantic Avenue, Beach Club is absolutely worth the visit. We’ll definitely be back. Beach Club“

“Absolutely love Grelma Bakery! Authentic Italian pastries and desserts that actually taste homemade and traditional. Everything is fresh, delicious, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality you get. Such a gem in Delray Beach, highly recommend if you want real Italian bakery flavors without overpriced tourist pricing.“

“great service!! always looking to get you the best deal. I recommend there BBQ chicken Pizza“

“Great food and great service.“

“Highly recommend Wood and Fire restaurant. I had a birthday party catered last night. Heather made everything very easy. Food arrived on time, hot and very delicious. I could not have been more pleased with my interaction and the food. Best yet – – – they delivered.“

“I needed an Italian restaurant that served the best chicken parm for my husband’s birthday. Being we are from NY, I took to Facebook in search of the regulars suggestions. There were so many choices, but we went with Papa Giuseppe’s. We were a party of 9 and we couldn’t have been more pleased. We ordered 5 apps (bruschetta, shrimp cocktail, mozzarella sticks, baked clams and calamari) and they were all flavorful and delicious. Most of us ordered the chicken parm and it did not disappoint. Absolutely amazing. We were allowed to bring in an outside cake and they served it to us and no additional cake fee. The service was fantastic and they really care about their customers. We will definitely be back. I highly recommend!! ❤️🍝“

“Took my dad out for his birthday to this Sal’s located in Delray Beach and what a major difference this location has compared to the Boynton location that went out of business a few months ago it’s clearly not so hard to see that when the owner and management puts in a lot love and care into their restaurant followed by good food and outstanding customer service that this Sals is going to be in business forever. The one Boynton was good when it opened, but then it got different management and a different owner that ran it down to the ground and later on went out of business in either May or June. Anyway I also would like to thank Justin for telling his staff and the head GM who I cannot remember for taking care of me and my father on his birthday providing great food and great customer service like I never ever seen before, I look forward to returning to this location again in the future.“

“We had a fun night, always enjoying Johnny L's music. Food was all good with the exception of our friend's Shrimp Francese where he indicated the shrimp were too mushy and not very palatable. Terra removed the cost of the dish from our check which was not expected but very much appreciated. We continue to patronize this restaurant for its great entertainment and wonderful service.“

“Omelet was really good. We
Shared it and it came with a sharing fee which was fine. Food came on one plate not split. One of the server that brought it out asked if we needed another plate. We said yes. Waited… then our waitress came over 5 min later with a plate once she stopped her convo with another worker and noticed we didn’t have a plate. We were the only ones eating outside early in the morning. We finally had to split it ourselves even with the sharing fee…“

“Haley was our waitress tonight . She was fabulous. She stopped by to check on us several times with a smile on her face.' Love this place❤️“

“Excellent service. By accident I placed an order thinking that the place was close to EMI. And when I left it was 30 minutes from my house, I called the restaurant and they waited for 30 minutes after the closed so that I could have my order. And the pizzas were excellent.“

“Took my mother for her birthday today, food was delicious! She actually ordered a plate where the noodles were to thick for her liking, we had absolute no problem getting another plate with smaller noodles! Our server Anthony was the best!! I highly recommend this place!! We will be going back!“

“Jack's they have the best people and the best food ever you will not be disappointed“

“Ordered take it. Ready on time and food was delicious. We had a meat livers pizza and lasagna. Staff was friendly.“

“We come here for Indiana, Carlos and Danny but stay for the food 👌 we love it here everytime we’re in town 🥰“

“Winner! What a great first impression. When we were looking for a restaurant with friends visiting from out of town, we noticed the score was not what we normally look for, but, took the time to realize that was a one night deal on Valentine's Day (which is a challenge for most resraurants). We will be back here many times again based on the great service we got from Max and the terrific quality of food and wine selection. It was a wonderful environment sitting outside (looks nice inside too).  its location is just far enough off Atlantic Avenue that you're truly getting some peace and quiet for a nice meal.“

“I seriously can’t say enough good things about Riley. She was hands down one of the best servers I’ve ever had. She was so friendly, attentive, and just made the whole night feel easy and enjoyable. She had amazing recommendations, knew the menu really well, and checked in at all the right times without ever making us feel rushed.

You can tell she genuinely enjoys what she does, and that kind of service is hard to find. She made us feel so welcome from the second we sat down, and her positive attitude honestly made our dinner even better. The food was incredible, but Riley is the reason we’ll be coming back.

If you’re lucky enough to have Riley as your server, you’re in for a great experience. She deserves all the recognition because she’s truly exceptional.“
