I Enjoyed the price fix special available between 5-6 only starting with eggplant rollatini in a delicious marinara sauce followed by pappadelli in meat sauce which was fantastic with a lot of meat ; both dishes were good size portions. But the star of the dinner was the chocolate soufflé . It was perfectly served with fresh crème and garnished with a few berries. Melting chocolate but not too dense. I will be comparing any in the future to Tramonti's. We sat on the enclosed outdoor patio and enjoyed being outside without having people leering at our food. Service was brisk and attentive. The maître d' was welcoming and seated us promptly. It was pricy but definitely worth it.

We heard good things about Tramonti and were excited to try it. As the restaurant is nestled in…read morethe heart of downtown Delray, we first had to navigate the always-challenging parking situation. We opted for the easy solution: park in the nearby garage by the Old School square. The restaurant has an old-world Italian atmosphere with white tablecloths, densely placed tables, dim lighting, daily specials and Italian waiters. Unfortunately this vibe also comes with a lot of noise from the closely packed diners. Even though the restaurant was not nearly full when we were there, it was difficult to hear each other speak at our table. And the lights were so low, we needed to use our phone flashlights to read the menu. The menu was also authentically Italian, being organized into appetizers, salads, first course (pastas), second course (beef, chicken, veal, fish) and desserts. The waiter provided a basket of breads, which included a crispy Italian bread that had a crust that was almost too hard to eat. The olive oil on the table was helpful to soften the bread. One person had a bowl of pasta fagioli soup. He said it was very good although not the best such soup that he's eaten. My wife had the chicken parmesan dinner. She said it was delicious. The sauce was excellent and the portion size was quite large. (Half of the meal came home with us.) The chicken parm came with green beans and a potato croquette. Both were tasty. Although the menu lists mostly veal dishes (parmesan, milanese, piccata and more), many of these entrees can be made with chicken instead of veal. I was disappointed with my pasta bolognese. While the homemade pasta was quite good, the meat sauce was lacking flavor. I expected a much more robust sauce. One person had the daily special branzino fish with clams. He thoroughly enjoyed the dish. Another person had the veal marsala, which included mushrooms in a surprisingly thick marsala sauce. While she thought the meal was tasty, the sauce seemed to somewhat overpower the dish. Tramonti is a nice restaurant with above average prices and good service. While some things were excellent, it did not meet our high expectations in all aspects.

Elisabetta's has been on my list ever since! We made reservations for lunch. I tried to get a table on the patio overlooking E Atlantic ave. Unfortunately, the second floor opens after 4:30pm. We sat in one of the cozy booths parallel to the bar, hoping to stay away from the hustle of the lunch rush. Our smiling waiter took our drink orders and told us the days specials as we placed our order. The calamari was perfect, meatballs moist and juicy and ravioli al dente. We were a bit disappointed with the Linguine Con Vongole. The pasta was undercooked and lacked proper flavor. The GM, I believed his name was Louie, who checked on us, was kind enough to apologize. Overall, we had a lovely experience here.

We make it a point to visit at least once a month, and it never fails to impress. The Atmosphere & Service We personally love sitting at the bar. It is a fantastic spot to strike up a conversation with fellow diners and vacationers alike. The staff is consistently exceptional; they go above and beyond to make every visit feel special, and we are truly grateful for their hospitality. The Food The kitchen is incredibly accommodating. While we've explored almost the entire menu, we have a few absolute favorites: Custom Pizza: They always perfectly execute our specific request for a ricotta, mushroom, onion, and sausage pizza (no mozzarella). The Classics: You cannot go wrong with the scratch-made pasta. The Short Rib Pappardelle is a standout, hearty choice. Small Plates & Unique Twists: The Steak Tartare is excellent, and the Eggplant Lasagna is a creative, delicious spin on a traditional Parmesan. Freshness: Every salad we've ordered has been crisp, fresh, and flavorful. In all our visits, we have never been disappointed. If you're looking for a consistently great meal with a welcoming vibe, this is the place to go.

Service; Even though it was a busy day in Delray service at the location was very fast and we were seated pretty quickly. Our waitress name was Lindsay I think and she was pretty nice and attentive, even though it was very busy. Drinks; My husband and I both got Kompe passionfruit margarita the non-spicy version and it was pretty good. Food; The calamari was really nice. It comes with a salsa version sauce in a white sauce. I'm not too sure what the sauce is, but it tasted very good. It was also mixed with zucchini really good and fresh. We also got a mushroom prosciutto pizza and it was really really good. I got a side of spicy honey with it and it added a sweet flavor on top of the balsamic that was included in it. Price; With the two drinks, the calamari and the pizza are total was $75.97 without tip and i would say thats a pretty good price. Coming back or nah? I would definitely consider coming back here maybe on a day where it is more quiet.

After my last meal at Le Sorelle, I'm lowering my star rating once again. Honestly, if out of town…read morevisitors didn't chose Le Sorelle, I never would have gone. And after this last visit, I will be passing on any future visits. We had a 6:30 pm reservation for 5 on a recent Saturday Night. That afternoon we asked if we can add one more person (so 6 in total) and were told we'd need to arrive at 6:15 pm. Logistically, that makes zero sense. The extra table seat wouldn't be a problem, and adding 15 minutes for the kitchen for 1 extra meal? But, ok. We arrived to a nearly empty restaurant at 6:15. We are catching up, looking at the menus and within 10 minutes the owner is hovering over us asking for our orders. We ask for another few minutes -- we hadn't even gotten our drinks. He tells us we have 2 hours so we have to hurry. Look, I live down the block from Le Sorrelle. I pass it night after night, and yes, it's has its nights where it is party central. People love to host family events there. But most of the time, this place is sorely wanting for business. And while perhaps Le Sorrelle did fill up after we left, there was plenty of seating when we did slip out, well in advance of our 2-hour limit. As for the food -- I can only speak to what I ordered. A Caesar salad and Pizza Margherita. Both were awful. And I'm really not just saying that because of the restaurant experience that night. I previously had pizza at Le Sorrelle (albeit, years ago now) and it was quite good. Perhaps the cheese pizza would have been. As for a good Caesar salad, run, don't walk to Segreto Italia. Actually, just go to Segreto Italia, because Chris, Joey and Chip will treat you like gold and you'll have an overall outstanding experience.

Our server Craig went above and beyond. Their choice of tableware is fine dining worthy. Their menu is approachable and straightforward. They offer 1 special, which is the fish of the day. Everything else is on the menu. Our meal was sensational, beginning with an expertly made vodka martini. I could tell the olives in the cocktail were noticeably better in quality than what is often served. We started with a few orders of baked clams. They were small and whole. The sauce was plentiful, enough to sop up the garlic and lemon with their exceptional bread. Speaking of bread, I am usually a butter girl, however there was no need for beurre when they serve a top notch olive oil like they do. It was peppery and robust. I could tell that there were efforts made to pair the bread and olive oil just right. Details matter here. I could have made a meal of just this, but alas, we ordered a lasagna for the table to share with a salad. The chopped salad was ok but ordinary. We probably did not need it. The lasagna. The lasagna. The lasagna. Let's talk lasagna. It is made with a homemade sheet of pasta, a tad thicker than a dried variety. It is rolled with dots of beef that was big on flavor but did not overwhelm the pillows of soft ricotta and mozzarella cheese atop a slightly sweet, but super-bright and fresh tomato sauce. A few fried basil leaves (again, a detail) actually made a difference in elevating this dish. The basil leaves were not just a garnish. Every ingredient was thought out, restrained in a good way, harmonious and well balanced. We then had a chicken parmesan (we chose their vodka sauce which was subtle without the aggressive and excessive use of cream so often found in vodka sauce), a cacio e pepe spaghetti and lamb chops. The spaghetti was the star of the pasta dish. There are times where a sauce can overwhelm, but at Campi the Chef honored the pasta. Thank you. Our lamb chops were perfectly cooked medium-rare with just the right amount of char in its own jus, a dab of garlic and parsley. A double espresso was a smidge watery. Tiramisu was again, expertly made with hints of soaked lady finger enveloped with slightly sweetened mascarpone cheese whipped to perfection. Light as a feather; full on flavor. Overall, this is a 5-star restaurant. It is low-key but elevated. The owners care and it shows.

Extremely disappointing experience on March 7 around 6:00 PM…read more Before this event we have called to ask about reserving a high-top table and were told that high-tops could not be reserved. When we arrived, several high-tops were open. We approached our favorite server to see if he could help us , but he was told not to serve us. Shortly after, a host informed us that the high-tops were "reservation only," which directly contradicted what we had been told on the phone. At that point there were also four open seats at the bar. I politely asked the "host" twice if he could help us take those seats, but he refused. During that time, other customers were allowed to take them. Eventually we were seated at a regular table. I then asked our server who the manager was so I could simply clarify the policy. She pointed out the same individual who had moved us from the high-top area. When I asked for his name (max), he came over moments later and told our group to leave the restaurant, referring to it as "his restaurant." There was no alcohol involved and no confrontation--just a simple request for clarification and the manager's name. Being asked to leave under those circumstances was both surprising and embarrassing. Unfortunately, the experience was further undermined when we noticed food residue on the wine glasses at our table, which raised additional concerns about basic service standards. We have been loyal customers and expected far better. A calm explanation of the seating policy could have resolved the situation easily. Instead, four customers were publicly removed from the restaurant for simply asking a question. I believe this situation could have been avoided with better training and an experience manager that matches this restaurants reputation price range. Very disappointing and an unfortunate reflection of the current management approach. I hope that Curt Huegel can do better!

We chose the outdoor patio which is nice, but it sits right next to the train tracks. The trains seemed to be passing every 10-15 minutes and they were extremely loud, making conversation nearly impossible until they passed. It wasn't the restaurants fault, but it did make it hard to have a nice meal and catch up with family. Regardless, it was still better than dining inside which was unbearably loud. The penne with a hearty bolognese sauce, and the bread with olive oil and balsamic was incredible. The skirt steak and Caesar salad also looked delicious. A couple of small things: there were no salt and pepper shakers on the table, and my uncles water glass had a small crack, but it was quickly replaced by our server. I would consider coming back after the season ends, when Atlantic Ave isn't such a mob scene.
