If you need to host event let me tell you speak to Raphael and choose De Lucas. We already know the food is great as is the service. But for a catered event they don't miss a beat. May daughter and all of our guests had a fabulous time. Staff was very attentive the whole time. Definitely a great location to host a party or event. Support local business. read more

This restaurant deserves more 6 stars. This was my second time there picking up large catering trays. I love the spicy penne a la vodka with those puff garlic breads. Everyone in the office unanimously agree that is one of the best if not the best pasta in the area. The decor reminds me of an Italian restaurant in Vermiglio, Italy by those Alps. I highly recommend this restaurant and please try the spicy penne a la vodka. read more

I came into this restaurant with not very high hopes because the layout of the restaurant was very old classic style and there wasn't a lot of people here but as soon as I saw the menu, I was like oh my gosh, this is going to be crazy after a couple of minutes before he gets down to see the bread so God falls apart. It's like amazing bro. I can't even lie like actually amazing. There's so many options. Choose from I was actually stuck.Once I finally made up my mind and decided I was going to get the e gnocchi I didn't look back and it was super super super amazing. Especially the sauce ‍ sooooo GOOD! The pizza was also amazing it's like New York pizza it was.............. it was. It just was. Nice soft bread gooey cheese and perfectly cooked. Don't even get me started on the lasagna brooo. The sauce. The highlight of my day. The sauce is actually elite. Please come here. It's so good I want to share this place with everyone. It's so amazing. The bread is also elite.we had left overs. A lot. I had to take a break after every plate. I am completely stuffed. I am having such a hard time writing this review because I can't loosen my belt anymore and I feel so tired and so nice and warm inside because the food is just hugging me telling me take a nap. And I would if I didn't have an iron gut. Please come here words don't do justice. read more

Nice restaurant, super friendly staff, really clean restroom.Went in to get something simple like French fries, didn't really it wasn't that kind of place aha. Right when I stepped inside it smelled good, like fresh pasta and garlic bread! I got a personal sized pepperoni pizza. The pizza was tasty, and it was a good size for just me. I ate a few slices and had some for later on as well. The service was quick, definitely recommend. read more

Nice, friendly service, food as good as the first time I had it a couple of years back. Cute, cozy Italian restaurant tucked in Whittier. Had to come back for the lasagna again since it was hit. Soup was filling and flavored well, not salty at all which is great. The spumoni was delicious and a nice ending for my meal. read more

Never a disappointment whenever we want great Italian food. Love the home made sauces that De Luca's makes and the specials are always great. And the service is always friendly and they always greet you with a smile. Be prepared to have leftovers. They give you plenty of food. read more

Came here recently for my birthday and had such a great time! Doug, the jazz guy, was performing; he was amazing and made me feel like I was in New York. The vibe was cozy, classy, and full of good energy. I always get the calzone here no matter what! it never disappoints. Perfectly baked, cheesy, and full of flavor. The staff was friendly and attentive. De Luca's is one of those local gems that never misses. Great food, great music, and great atmosphere; can't wait to come back again. read more

We ordered the spaghetti and ravioli, and both tasted like they were frozen rather than freshly made. The sauce had absolutely no flavor--it felt like eating air with a hint of basil. The salad dressing was just as bland and completely lacked taste. The only decent part of the meal was the bread and butter. While other dishes on the menu might have more flavor, these options certainly didn't. Overall, it was not worth the money, and I won't be returning read more

We regret coming to this place after many years. My wife ordered the seafood pasta,and it was horrible. The smell made my daughter vomit. It was inedible. The garlic knots were burnt on top. My fettuccini was fine. The pizza was a little undercooked. Best part of the meal was the free fresh baked bread. read more

Ordered uber eats from this restaurant on a Sunday evening. Food arrived fast enough and they were packaged very well. We have tried crispy calamari, milestone soup, pork chop, penne pasta and baked stuffed pasta. Everything tasted so comforting in large portions. The Alfredo sauce was a bit salty but I love salt so I didn't mind. The food was more than enough even for the next day lunch! A solid local Italian restaurant for comfort food delivery! read more

I love De Lucas. We go for special occasions and some date nights. The food is exceptional and tastes truly authentic.

Food was amazing. Everyone in our party enjoyed the food. Unfortunately we all ate before I had a chance to take photos. Just know everyone ordered something different. Not one of us spoke for awhile! That's not an easy thing to do in this family The service was a little slow but they were super busy. The staff did not show any stress but did not drag their behinds. The room is beautiful appointed. They had a performer that was worth everything! @DouglasRoegiers read more

I wanted a late night pasta dish and I just happen to find De Luca's. I've never been there and the inside of the restaurant was very cute and authentic! I did a call in order and the service was so fast! They weren't kidding when they said the portion sizes were huge! And my past dish came with salad and bread. Everything had great flavor! The bread was so fresh! And I loved the butter that came with the bread! Overall great experience I will be back read more

Food and service was great we celebrated our sons birthday, let's not forget Frank Sinatra singer ! Wow awesome treat!

Very disappointed in the quality of the food. My girlfriend ordered the Honey glazed pork loin, the pork was tough and drenched in several inches of gravy. I had the chicken cacciatore, the sauce was good, however the chicken was a very thin cutlet with little to no flavor. My girlfriend also ordered the crème brûlée, she described it as the worst crème brûlée she has ever had, it was curled. On a good note the bread was excellent, and our server was very nice, but a little on the inexperienced side. We will not be returning. read more

Sad to say the quality of the food is slowly deteriorating. My wife ordered cioppino and lentil soup for dinner. The lentil soup was chunky, dry, no carrot, no celery, no broth. The cioppino was so spicy, it was inedible. We told the waitress; she said will ask the kitchen to make a new dish. When she brought the dish back, we could tell that they just replaced the broth with tomato sauce. Taste was nothing like cioppino, most of the seafood in the dish was gone, the clams had no meat. We will most likely not come back. We try to support locally own businesses so will look for another Italian restaurant to try. read more

I'm not sure how this restaurant even has 4 star rating. Note that I did not eat the food here so I cannot judge the food. But based on my experience with their service and ambiance, this restaurant is a complete disaster. I had made reservations over 3 weeks in advance for 6:30pm for a party of 11. And when I called them on the actual day to confirm the reservation, they had made it for 6pm instead, an error on their part. But, he claimed they were able to adjust the time. When we arrived at 6:30, the host said that they could not seat a large party altogether and that we had to sit in separate tables far away from each other. This was a complete lie, as I had seen a large party in the main dining room when I walked to use the bathroom. Then, he confessed and told us that they mismanaged and didn't have our table ready so they needed 10-15 minutes to set up. But, the place was so packed and tight, there was no seat for us. We waited in their bar lobby area for 15 minutes and still no table, so we decided to leave and dined at Il Gatto restaurant in La Habra, which they were able to accommodate us last minute and seated us right away. This establishment is so outdated and dilapidated, it seems like the owner takes no pride in even caring for this place, which is truly disappointing. We had to sit waiting next to cardboard boxes and propane gas tanks. There was dust all over alcohol bottles and dents in the walls, and the inside was so hot with no air conditioning. It was really an uncomfortable experience. I tried to give this restaurant a chance but after seeing how unprofessional and disorganized the staff is and the lack of physical care or upkeep that goes into this restaurant, there really is no point. read more

The service was great, ambiance was nice. We had the Penne Arrabbiata which was very good! The flavor was great, just the right amount of heat (spice). The portion size was enough for two! We also ordered pizza. My favorite was the pepperoni, the others were a little too heavy for me. With that being said, they were all very good. Price was reasonable, parking available adjacent to the restaurant. read more

Fantastic food. Service needs help. I would think that on Mothers Day they would bring in extra help. Unfortunately this was not a great experience. Once the food was served we got ignored. I had to chase down a server for extra drinks. Still no offer of desert at all. The worst thing for me is to be ignored after the food was served. I would have had a better time at Chic fil a. At least I get a drink refill quicker. Unhappy. read more

Everything there is DELICIOUS!! Great service as well even take out :) I love this place read more

Unfortunately, De Luca's missed the mark on just about every level. The service was painfully slow, with only 3 tables on a Monday evening. We waited far too long to be seated & served. Not to mention, the bar area that we were waiting in to be seated looks more like a storage closet than an actual bar. As for the food, it was underwhelming at best. I ordered the Chicken Cacciatore and despite coming out piping hot, it was so bland and lacked any real flavor or seasoning. The sauces tasted like it came straight from can and nothing felt fresh. Same goes for the soup and side pastas that came with the entrees. This was my first time trying De Luca's and sadly it won't be getting a second chance. read more

The food here is amazing and the portions are very big. They also have a very good singer/entertainer who dims the lights, on Tuesday nights. ;) Come on down to your favorite neighborhood Italian restaurant in Whittier! read more

De Luca's Restaurant - Birthday party with the Tuesday crew! - Italian Near Me - Whittier, California

De Luca's is one of my favorite Italian restaurants in the area. We recently started coming here and regret we hadn't come sooner. The ambiance is festive with Frank Sinatra music playing softly in the background. We came on a Thursday night where a regular group was having a wine parring dinner in the banquet room where everyone was enjoying themselves. Our server was friendly, attentive, and went over the menu with us. This added another level of enjoyment to our dinning experience. Now for the food, every dish we ordered was a perfect blend of flavors and textures that showcased the Chef's commitment to high quality cuisine. In conclusion, De Luca's is a local gem that goes beyond just being a restaurant but an experience. It succeeded our expectations of not only satisfying our palates but by creating a long lasting impression of an amazing dinning experience. So whenever we're craving Italian, this is our spot!! read more

Good food, service, love the 'wine dinners' they occasionally have. So much fun. Nice variety on menu love the Italian wines they offer

Four stars only due to service. The male server was a bit slow and got a couple things wrong on our order. However the restaurant was nicely decorated and the food was amazing. Definitely will be back. read more

Second time this order the carbonara with the pancetta which is one of my favorite Italian dishes. Obviously the chef does not understand the importance of ensuring the pancetta is crispy. Instead of them raw read more

Ordered a to go order and it stated 30 mins and an hour and a half later after calling they said oh sorry we had an unexpected rush. Which is completely unacceptable and unprofessional! Do not order to go!! Food cold and not that great, especially for that wait time. I know I'm lazy when it's literally a 5 min drive but working a 10.5 hour day at work I thought id treat myself ughh! Disappointed to say the least - tired and unsatisfied read more

What' a solid choice for Italian!! Family friendly, where the servers make you feel like friends. It's a nice enough place for a date night, or casual enough for a quick weekend bite. The food was delicious (especially that gnocchi), and the drinks are great too! Price point is definitely right on par with what you get. Excited to come back here soon! read more

Had a Ceasars Salad and a pizza, both were terrible.The salad had croutons from a package, dressing that was meh! I took most of the pizza home for my husband and we both decided that it was inedible. It was covered in pounds of cheese, bland chicken. We threw it out! I think people are attracted to the large portions but as far as researched cuisine, this is not it! I completely wasted over $40 and it won't happen again. Service was fine, ambience is odd, at best! read more

Never have I had such a horrible meal My whole party of four didn't like what they ordered everything lack flavor nothing tasted like anything I can't even believe people go there, the pastas marinara sauce is coming out of a jar with no flavor at all but watered down great service awful food never coming back read more

They did not seal the take out. Make sure to call them to staple the bag. Caught the uber driver tampering with it which he should have not been but ultimately on all take out the restaurant should have the common sense to seal. read more

You might want to take a look at who was cooking tonight. The soup was thin and tasteless and the Alfredo sauce was thin and also weak. The Fettuccine was under cooked. I have been very pleased in the past but tonight not so much. You might want to investigate. read more

We had an event for the first time in the banquet room. The staff allowed us to come in earlier the day of to set up flowers for each of the tables. Which I really appreciated. The room was set up very well, there was enough for us to move around and socialize during the event. The service was friendly, quick and wonderful to all of us. The food was great (lasagna, fettuccine & spaghetti with meat sauce). The bread was fresh and warm when it was brought to the table. Thank you very much the positive experience. We will be back in the future if we ever need a banquet room for under 50 people. Highly recommended. read more
