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!!

“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.“

“Pizza & Ceasar Salad was Amazing“

“Great fresh pasta with a variety of pastas, sauces, and toppings - customize to your taste! Delicious and affordable - good size portions! Helpful, friendly staff! Glad we came.“

“Great service and great food!“

“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“

“Alicia was EXCELLENT! My husband and I came for a romantic evening, and we enjoyed ourselves so much. She came by to check on us frequently but not so much that it was intrusive. Service was so good! The food was also delicious.“

“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 food and service! Happy hour specials too!“

“Delicious food and great service.“

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

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

“Been here several times....Best to get a reservation for the high-top tables so you can take advantage of happy hour from 3:00 to 7:00 pm. Chicken parm is great, spaghetti carbonate is excellent, cocktails are awesome. One small request: please provide garlic bread with meals. Again, love this place!“

“Great food and great service.“

“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.“

“Terra is nice but the food is nothing to write home about, and it’s very expensive. Service is attentive enough but one plate was knocked down as it was placed on the dance floor, and nothing was offered as compensation, even though the rest of our party had almost finished their food by the time he got his plate. He wasn’t even offered a free glass of wine. I felt it was not classy of Terra.
The musical entertainment was fun.“

“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..😘“

“Grelma surprised me. Staying in Delray Beach from Washington, D.C. for two weeks, I was on the search for the town's best bakery. Yelp sent me to Grelma.

Walking up, it's in a strip mall, but what isn't in a strip mall in Delray Beach? The pastries are behind glass and they are BIG and over the top. Because of this, I didn't think they looked good. BUT I was wrong. I ordered the chocolate bomboloni (an Italian doughnut) and wow. The texture was very moist and the chocolate so creamy. It was excellent!

They also sell coffee, sandwiches, and an array of sweet and some savory pastries.“

“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!! ❤️🍝“

“Fantastic food and superb service. We came for lunch enjoyed it so much that we returned for dinner! Giselle and Catalina were so helpful and friendly. Perfect recommendations, well prepare, creative dishes and super generous portion. We’ll be back. Highly recommend“

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

“We went down to Delray Beach for the week and had dinner at this establishment. Food was good and service was even better. Our waitress Acelin was very accommodating and friendly and had us laughing. Hoping to stop back in again before we head back up north to go back home.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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❤️“

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

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

“they food was looking good 🤤🤤😋😋🙌🙏“

“Sierra made our dinner super enjoyable by providing us with great service and she was super attentive. We were there after the Delray Open Tennis tournament and it was extremely busy. This did not stop Sierra from serving us quickly. The night was made better when the Manager bought us a bottle of wine because they were out of 2 of our selections. By the way the food was fantastic. The portions were great and the presentations are well thought out. We will be back!“
