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

The birthday dessert was the cherry on top of the night! Rafael and all the staff were so nice and treated us so well! I highly recommended you come and continue trying this hidden gem need to come back for their music nights! 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Service was horrible. We were ignored. The server was overwhelmed and rarely came back to our table. When we tried to ask another person for help she did not speak English. Horrible experience. Sad because the food and wine choice was excellent. I will never return or recommend this place. 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

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

Been going here for years. The food and service is always good. Especially either of the two eggplant dishes. Delicious, one is regular and one is stuffed. The Lasagna can not be beet anywhere in my opinion. Stafff always very attentive and quick to acknowlege you with delicious fresh bread and butter. 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

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

So good they know my stepdad on a first name basis. He's a regular . Tonight wasn't the night that they sing but the food was a top notch delicious Italian meal. Of course, none of this would be complete without Frank Sinatra singing his greatest hits in the background five stars. read more

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

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

So disappointed. I loved this restaurant since it first opened. However this time the food lacked flavor. Ingredients were not fresh. The baked bread was the only thing that wasn't a miss. 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

First time there and I really enjoyed the food. I got baked ziti with meat sauce and it was amazing. Had some bruschetta and it was also amazing. Fresh baked bread with real butter yum. Service was excellent. I was there for a funeral and they really accommodated our family. I recommend this restaurant for a delicious authentic Italian meal. read more

I arrived at the front of the restaurant hoping to get a table. A few minutes went by and no one came to greet us. It appeared that they were having a private party in the back and were too busy to greet us. After not getting any acknowledgment we left. Nothing to rate other than bad customer service. Sorry didn't get a chance to rate anything else. read more

De Luca's is our #1 favorite Italian restaurant. Great ambiance, outstanding service from professional wait staff. But the food is the thing!

Had my wedding reception here at De Luca's. 3 years ago this review is long overdue. I didn't know anything about Yelp back then . But I remember my now wife and I were looking all over for a great place to have our reception dinner. Since it was in July alot of restaurants had not availability. We met Rafael and from the start he was polite and worked his magic, we were concerned because we had about 50 Guests from our wedding . And Rafael had no problem accommodating our needs and was able to fit all 50 guests. We had a great time and a great dinner. All the server's were great . I appreciate Rafael . And since then my wife and I go there on our wedding anniversary to have a dinner. Thanks Rafael read more

The food is acceptable. It works as being this type of food. Garlic bread is nice but needs to be baked longer for more crispness. Faggioli soup needs to be worked-up a couple of notches. Bland bean and low flavor broth, which needs some added cooked vegetables and a bit of spice. Service is very good. read more

He spoke with the manager and he said if you don't like the service you can leave. They were one of our favorite places to eat but not now read more
