38 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!!

“Pizza & Ceasar Salad was Amazing“

“If you're looking for a solid spot on Atlantic Ave, Beach Club Pizza is worth checking out. The atmosphere is great—it has a clean, relaxed vibe that fits the Delray area perfectly without being too over-the-top.
​The staff is really friendly and attentive, which makes a big difference when the street gets busy. One thing to keep in mind: because it’s right in the heart of the action, parking can be a huge pain. Unless you get lucky with a spot out front, your best bet is to head straight to the Robert Federspiel Garage on SE 1st Ave. If you don't want to deal with a garage at all, there are several valet stands on the side streets right off Atlantic that make things much easier.
​I tried the Croque Madame Pizzetta from their brunch menu and it was excellent. It’s topped with gruyere, country ham, caramelized onions, and a sunnyside egg. It’s a nice change of pace from your typical breakfast or a standard pizza slice—definitely a heavy hitter if you're hungry.
​Overall, it’s a good place to grab a bite and people-watch. They even do fun events like a pilates class in the restaurant! I can't wait to go back.“

“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!“

“Been here many years and never ate there thought it was just a senior place,with cranky adults,even though i am a senior i usually don't go to that type of restaurant,,last week we ordered for delivery at avellinos,the food was great i enjoyed it,eggplant Parmigiano, and my husband had chicken marsala,and they offer your choice of side dishes,they were also very good,the delivery was asap aka delivery dudes,was prompt abd food was very hot,so all in all had a very good experience on all levels“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Delicious food and great service.“

“Great food and service! Happy hour specials too!“

“Great service and great food!“

“the experience should not be missed! yummy for your tummy!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Had such a wonderful experience at Terra Ristorante! I absolutely love Italian food, and everything we tried was beyond delicious. The flavors, presentation, and overall atmosphere were amazing.

Will was a fantastic bartender — drinks came out quickly and were super tasty! Amanda was my server and she was truly top notch: friendly, attentive, and made the whole dining experience even better.

Definitely will be back soon :)“

“ive been looking for awesome pizza ever since I moved from NJ. in 91 and I finally found it here. crust is amazing crispy but soft...topping are delicious. and the people are the best. keep up the great work I will tell everyone I know where to get the best pizza..😘“

“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.“

“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!! ❤️🍝“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Sat at bar around 2pm. 2 great espresso Martini’s and had the best yellow tail snapper sautéed in lemon butter sauce with sautéed spinach. Apparently you can ask for linguine with the Lemon sauce instead of spinach. One of the best pieces of fish I have had and the service was excellent.“

“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❤️“

“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.“

“I came here following recommendations from my family members who live in the area and said this is their regular spot.

This is definitely the best Italian restaurant I’ve ever eaten at. The food was amazing, the atmosphere was unique, and the service was excellent. Everything arrived quickly and fresh.

I can’t wait for my next visit to come back to this restaurant!“
