Went with a large group. Parking was slightly difficult, but they had a valet. Front room had a bar, but we sat in a room in the back. Service was excellent. We had multiple waiters who were very attentive. Started with the Calamari Agradolce and Orange Fennel salad, which were both very nice. I chose the Orecchiette Barese as my 1st course. I enjoyed it because I like roasted garlic a lot. I only ate half and could not eat a 2nd course. It is very expensive but seems authentic Italian. I would come here again on a special occasion.

Delicious food and amazing cocktails. Lots of options for vegetarians! The servers and bartenders are terrific. I accidentally left my purse behind, and they kept it to the side for me with no issue. Thank you!

The food here was fantastic! I parked in the Dunkin Donuts parking lot. Everyone here was super nice and the place was clean. The food was so good I’m going to have to come back one day. Definitely recommend getting a reservation.

The lobster Pescatore and the Chilean Sea bass were Fantastic! I drove from northern NJ so it was definitely a longer drive plus tolls. Otherwise, I would easily eat here once a month.

I came here to celebrate my birthday and I absolutely love this restaurant. Everything is all homemade and is very delicious. My family and I started out with having calmaria, homemade meatballs, and rice ball. All very delicious and homemade. I wish they made the meatballs an entreee it was very, very delicious. Then for the entrees I asked if they can make me chicken Francesca I got it with vegetables and potatoes it was very delicious. I would highly recommend getting this dish even though it is not listed on their menu. My husband and my father got their steak wow it was very delicious and it was actually medium well. Next time I may get that dish. My mother got a pasta dish with vegetables. Everything was overall very delicious and a lot of left overs. For dessert they came out and sang happy birthday to me and I decided to also get the Gelato it must had been the best Gelato ever. I highly recommend coming here and supporting small businesses.

Deluca’s definitely a go to restaurant when you’re in Staten Island. The food is absolutely delicious, the staff and owners are extremely friendly. You feel like you’re part of the Deluca family. Another plus is they offer valet parking so you don’t have to worry about finding a spot to part your car. Lastly and an additional plus, they offer a beautiful spacious two room addition to the restaurant for parties. It’s separate from the restaurant so it gives you and your party privacy from the rest of the diners.

From the moment I stepped into Deluca's Italian Restaurant, I knew I was in for a treat. The ambiance sets the perfect tone for a memorable dining experience. The highlight of my meal was undoubtedly the Calamari Oreganato - a first for me and an absolute revelation. The way they've prepared this dish makes me a firm believer that this is the only way to truly enjoy Calamari.The Fried Calamari was another standout, offering a delightful crunch and perfect seasoning that danced on my taste buds. The Meatballs were a nostalgic nod to classic Italian cuisine, cooked with an evident passion for traditional flavors. But the showstopper for me was the Salmon. It was cooked flawlessly, achieving a delicate balance of flavors that left me savoring every bite.The service at Deluca's was as impeccable as the food. Attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable staff contributed significantly to the overall experience. Every recommendation from the server was spot on, enhancing the meal beautifully.In conclusion, Deluca's Italian Restaurant is a gem in Staten Island. With its exquisite cuisine and top-notch service, it's a must-visit for anyone looking for an authentic Italian dining experience. Five stars all the way!"

Amazing Anniversary dinner! Started with the best ever dirty martini. We had the fish salad and grilled calamari appetizers. For dinner, my husband had the scallops with crab meat risotto, and I had the eggplant special with homemade rigatoni and burrata. For dessert, we shared the Italian cheesecake. Everything was delicious. Our waiter, Javier, provided exceptional service.

Enjoyed a nice dinner here with a great 4-star atmosphere. The food and service were both good (3 stars), making it a reliable spot for a comfortable meal out. A solid choice for Italian in the neighborhood!

I had a really nice experience at Deluca's! I'm giving it a solid 4 stars overall. Both the service and the atmosphere were great, earning 4 stars each. While the food was more standard at 3 stars, the overall environment and attentive staff made it a very pleasant visit.

First time here. Loved the atmosphere. Decor is slightly old world. Dark wood, crystal chandeliers. Besutiful. Very friendly staff. Ordered their special 2 lb lobster and seafood platter for two. Came with spaghetti. Presentation A+. Unfortunately the taste was not there. We ordered white sauce. It tasted like all the seafood was just steamed. There was juice but not much else. No garlic, no olive oil, no wine, no seasoning, no parsley. Just watery juice. No flavor. We took it home to make a sauce for the leftovers. For $160,such a shame. I might give it another chance and try something else on the menu. Don't like to judge a place by just one dish.

I only came here because I saw a video on IG, and it looked amazing enough to make the trip to the end of SI. Starting with the staff who took my reservation and was tremendously helpful with questions on the menu items and securing a time before the evening rush, that's a great beginning to a new restaurant for me. When we arrived, we were graciously led to the table and immediately met our server, if I remember correctly his name was Juan. He went on to take our drink orders and tell us about their specials. Opting for the mussels, along with the complementary bread and their dipping sauce was a great way to start the meal. Mussels were delicious and the sauce was very deliciously seasoned. My girlfriend has the linguine and I went for the special lobster pescatore, the main reason I wanted to try this restaurant. The pescatore was in the fra diavolo sauce, which again was very well done and just the right amount of spice. Everything was cooked perfectly, except I feel like the lobster itself was slightly overdone. Everything came out in great timing, with one dish following the next. Her pasta and my feast of seafood were both very well cooked and treated our tummies very well. I would definitely recommend the pescatore as a shared dish, because I ended up taking half of it to go. Ending the night with the tiramisu and a pistachio martini, both a first, was a nice sweet treat for us. I'd gladly come again, as the entire experience was wonderful.

My plate was Mediocre. Nothing special. I saw the owner as we walked in no greeting or acknowledgment as we walked in. My wife's and son's dish tasted amazing. However for the price point for my son's chicken was to thin and more cheese and not enough pasta. Our appetizer the Fried Calamari was to little. Mediocre service so I left a mediocre tip. My wife's dish had great flavor. It was ok. Service was ok.
