    Portion sizes were vey small for the price. Had a pizza with half anchovies and they got anchovy oil on the other half. Pizza was good other than that. Calamari was decent, but I have never seen a serving so small. Bartender was great and the service was good.
    DeLucaResponded on December 9, 2024
    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are committed to delivering high-quality dishes that reflect both the ingredients we use and the effort our culinary team puts into every plate. While we aim to balance portion sizes with quality and presentation, we regret if the portions did not meet your expectations. Additionally, we apologize for the anchovy oil affecting the other half of your pizza; we will address this with our kitchen staff to ensure greater attention to detail in the future and that was an exception done for you since we do not half topping pizzas. Your input is invaluable as we strive to provide the best dining experience possible. We hope you’ll consider visiting us again, giving us another opportunity to exceed your expectations. Warm regards, MGT

    This is Italian food reminiscent of Italy, not of an American "Italian" restaurant. Both our meals were outstanding. Prices are fine-dining-high, but are comparable to other such restaurants in Nashville. Our service was terrific, all staffers were friendly and helpful. We had a lovely time. We will definitely return when we're in the area.
    DeLucaResponded on December 3, 2024
    Thank you for sharing your experience! It's wonderful to hear that you enjoyed authentic Italian flavors reminiscent of Italy itself. Outstanding meals, friendly service, and a welcoming atmosphere can truly elevate a dining experience. While fine-dining prices can be high, it sounds like the quality and overall experience made it worthwhile. Glad to hear you plan to return—safe travels and happy holidays!

    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.

We will certainly take your feedback into consideration as we continually work to improve our offerings and service. We hope you'll give us another chance to impress you in the future. Best regards, Angelo Ferrante
