Worst experience ever - this is not a restaurant, it's a front for something. Waited 2 hours for our food and question whether it was ever even being prepared. Wine and stale bread is all we got!!

In and out that place smells like an house that has been closed for 100 years.I listed my appetite when I got inside

The menu showed $24 for lasagna. I ended up paying over $30 and this is all I had. When I asked them why this charge was so high they said the lasagna is $27. I said I saw it on the menu for $24. Then they tried changing their tune and saying it is market price for the lasagna and it is not even on the menu. Please show me the menu again they refused. I am calling the authorities on these people because they are scum bags do not ever eat there. There are two other great restaurants next-door that actually pay attention to their customers and charge you what they say on the menu.Thank goodness they had an outside seating area as well. Because the inside of the restaurant smelled like mildew or mold. But at least it's Italian

This is what I can say about the restaurant, food was really good, personal service by the owner Mike. ….. if you want to experience your own personal chef you will be delighted. Enjoy the service and the food “exceptional “.Dinner for two with a bottle of wine one appetizer and two dinners at $200. But worth the money

Found this hidden gem when staying at The Ray. Great service, great food and ambiance. Loved the old school jazz that was played, pasta cooked table side. Definitely an amazing experience'

Owner chef Mike is a very nice guy. I had a "special"of the evening that turned out to be a gargantuan, thick piece of breaded veal smothered in cheese and sauce. Weirdly, it was served on rice. Salad first was a hot mushroom salad. That turned out to be a tossed salad with some tasteless sauteed mushrooms with a O and V dressing. Also a huge portion. Dessert - i ordered the canoli. It was huge. But the shell was rock hard and the filling runny. Tasted ok though.On a positive note, the wine was good. And the music great. Martin, Sinatra, Darin-- standards at a good volume going on all night. Plus the restaurant has the feel of a 1950's60's Italian joint, and I love that. I would go back. This time I would order something very simple.

Just went there last night, and the food and service was amazing. The Italian dishes are generous, tasty, and the bread they serve ahead of time is also wonderful strongly recommend this place if you were looking for a Restaurant in Delray, that is not crowded and feels like all time dining.

Who are going to believe, your lying eyes? This restaurant suffers from a terrible malaise. I wish I could endorse...but I can't.

The food, service, ambiance, of this restaurant was beyond spectacular. The wine themed setting was beautiful. I went with my girlfriend for a date night and it was the best and most memorable restaurant we have ever been to. Our server was very attentive and friendly. The food was amazing. We ordered the veal eggplant parmesan, Zuppa de clams, penne alla vodka, and a cannoli for dessert. We were served focaccia as well with the clams and it was perfectly crispy and soft. 10/10 best focaccia I've had from any Italian restaurant. Most authentic and genuine italian resturant I have visited. Definitely coming back to try more. Thank you!
We found a hidden treasure tonight!! What a fabulous dining experience by chef Michael!! Home made recipes! Eggplant appetizer delectable!! Mussels delicious!! Veal Marsala to die for!! Atmosphere quaint! This place is a gem!!!

Stumbled at this restaurant while walking around Delray. Busy night all around Downtown Delray. All restaurants were busy with waiting lists. Saw this place & had tables available immediately. I should have known why. The service was terrible. It took 1/2 hour to get a beer & bread. 1 hour to get food. 15-20 minutes to get the bill after asking 4xs. Prices were ridiculous too. The very small dinner lasagna was $30 & the eggplant/veal special was $50. Finally, the food, I've had better frozen dinners. Not good at all. Poor choice & I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.

We had a fabulous meal here last night. Sat at an outdoor table and enjoyed an appetizer of mussels and lobster raviolis that were both delicious as well as their homemade garlic breads. Wing a small place, the food takes time to come but worth the wait. Michael who served us was warm and friendly. Sitting outdoors, a block away from the Swing Jazz Festival at Hyatt Place, we could hear the music while dining and people watching. All in all, it was a great experience!

Best Itai food I have since I was in Italy! Just Phenomenal. Intimate unassuming restaurant took in out family of 5 and blew us away. Michel is the owner, chef, and waiter. Pasta Vincenzo, chicken Parm, chicken Marsala, penne vodka with chicken and shrimp pasta devoured and shared among the whole family. The bacon ceasar salad and the eggplant stack appetizers all were soooo good. Well done Sir!, We will be back next time we are in town.

Horrible food, mediocre service. I had their short rib and pasta special. The short rib was not cooked in sauce, very fatty, and burned on one side. The pasta was in a red sauce and I am being kind calling it a sauce. I have had thicker tomato juice. My wife had their lobster ravioli in cream sauce special. She couldn’t even eat it. Would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. Horrible, horrible, horrible!!’Kid-friendliness: Not kid friendly at all, no booster chairs, no kids portions!
