   Unfortunately our experience was not what the majority of the reviewers have experienced. The lasagna was very dry. The veal was excellent. The calamari was served with no sauce. Never been anywhere that you had to pay an extra $3 for a small bowl of marinara sauce. No bread which is different from most Italian restaurants. The side of bolognese pasta was less than a cup full for $11. Tiramisu was fair and served in a cup. The service was excellent. Very attentive without being hovering. Excellent atmosphere. The overall quality and portion size of the good for the cost was not appropriate. Won't be back.

   Our first experience was positive. Good authentic Italian food and service was excellent. The only funny thing was Tiramisu in a mason jar. Very funny for a restaurant priding itself on being Roman. We enjoyed our dinner and would recommend.

   Thanks for the feedback, William! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed our authentic Italian food and found our service excellent. The Tiramisu in a mason jar is not unusual in Italy to be served in it, we won't have it served it if not authentic! We appreciate your positive first experience and recommend DeLuca to others. We hope to serve you again soon!

   This is a hidden gem. Don’t let the location in a strip mall next to Chuy’s fool you! An authentic Italian restaurant with top notch cuisine that outmatches all the other Italian restaurants in town. The veggies, the wine, the fish sous vide, the waiter- all true Italians. This is our favorite Italian restaurant in town now and we have been to Italy at least 7- 8 times so we know the cuisine very well. Don’t think too much and go; will not regret.

   This was our 3rd visit, and we tried the pizza, and lasagna which were wonderful. Of course, we had to have the cannoli, which was the best we have ever had. Our server, Cavin, was very attentive and knowledgeable. The owner made sure to welcome us and see that we were happy with the meal. We will return again...and again.

   The food and the service were both excellent. Truly authentic Italian in every way. The owner provided a warm welcome, our server knew the menu well and offered advice about the freshest ingredients, you can see through glass the meticulous work going into each plate, they have a good assortment of wine at various price points. You just have to get past the fact that it’s in a strip mall to step into a lovely neighborhood restaurant that feels like you are in Italy. They kindly accommodated my husband’s diet restrictions. Don’t skip the limoncello!

   I wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation for another wonderful evening at your restaurant. It was our third visit, and it certainly lived up to the saying, "third time's a charm." The atmosphere was vibrant, the restaurant was full, and the service was exceptionally attentive. Angelo's recommendation to try the Coravin service for an expansive selection of wines by the glass was truly a highlight. The Barbera and Barolo he suggested were delightful choices. Additionally, I must commend you on the new pasta offerings. The Boscaiola, in particular, was outstanding. It is refreshing to find a restaurant where exceptional service and exquisite food come together so seamlessly. Thank you for a memorable dining experience. Bravo to you and your team!

    The food was excellent and prepared exactly as my friend and I have each experienced when visiting Rome. Our waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu and the wine list was very good, offering some excellent Italian wines (especially the Brunello wines). I can’t wait to return and work my way through the menu to taste their other entrees. The prices are consistent with Nashville restaurants and the quality is better than many other restaurants offering average food for the same prices. They also offer authentic Roman pizzas (paper thin crust in a wood fired oven). I love the thin crisp crust which lets the ingredients shine and doesn’t leave you in a carb coma. Definitely recommend.
