We stopped in for lunch after being at the Venice, Audubon Society rookery. (yes you should go…read morethere.) It was a little hard to find in a strip mall, but look for the sign advertising Reuben sandwiches beside an ice cream shop. We were warmly greeted as we came in and told to see it ourselves. We soon had water and placed our orders. We both ordered the special of the day: any hamburger and a side for $10. We both got Patty melts - - I had fries and hubby had onion rings. I asked for my burger to be medium well which it was and hubby wanted, medium rare but it was a little more done than that. There weren't many onion rings, but they were very tasty. The fries were good as well. We took home almost a full burger. It's a nice little diner and you get what you expect you would at an establishment like this.

Fresh, fresh, fresh delicious deli sandwiches! Great complete deli menu too from simple ham and…read morecheese to spicy Italian. Plus, there are hot sandwiches. You can order on the menu too. You can find something on this menu that you're going to love. Bread is fresh and so are the deli meats and all the toppings from green pepper to banana peppers to lettuce, tomato and spicy oil and vinegar dressing you'll put together a perfect sandwich. We had two different ones the Italian with the hot capicola, which was perfectly spicy and loaded with meats. The second sandwich was a ham, cheese and salami with lettuce, banana peppers, tomato, onion, all the fixings and that hit the spot too. We had two 8 inch subs and nothing was left. We also had chips on the side And that added to making the sandwich a perfect lunch combo. The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is because parking is extremely limited and in the back. If you don't know this deli, you wouldn't know where parking is but if you drive around the back, you'll see a very small parking lot and an entry into the deli. Staff is friendly and super helpful if you're not sure what to get. The place was crowded at lunchtime on a weekday with plenty of regulars, they know a good thing when they taste it. I'm looking forward to coming back into town to try something different since the menu was so vast it just means I have to come back again and again.

The burger was one of the best we've ever had, juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The fries were lightly seasoned with truffle, giving them just the right amount of flavor, with a perfect crunch. The wings were also fantastic. The Cajun style buffalo wings had bold, flavorful spices, and the balsamic glaze was a great complement to the blue cheese wedge, rich and tangy without being overpowering. I tried the Papa's Storm cocktail, and it was dangerously delicious, smooth, well-balanced, and incredibly refreshing. Our server was friendly and attentive, always ensuring our drinks were topped off without us even needing to ask. The ambience is quaint and casual, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a great meal. Most importantly, the food was very affordable, which made the experience even better. We had an excellent first visit and are already looking forward to coming back!

Secondly, the menu has similar dishes and prices. Lastly, the waitstaff has been thru the transition and still is extremely professional and willing to accommodate every request. Where I notice the difference is in the taste of the food. The salads were fresh and my Salmon with risotto and broccoli was deliciously flavored with a drizzle of balsamic which was amazing. As you can see from my pic, the portion size was perfect, and I enjoyed the rich flavors of creaminess with a hint of mushrooms especially on the risotto. There are only a few upscale restaurants in the area, and I highly recommend DeLuca's for any specialty occasion or entertaining friends and family.

We had visited Lucarelli's before, but this was our first time at the restaurant under the new ownership, and I'm happy to report it was a wonderful experience. We'll start with our server, Lauren. Pleasant, professional, and attentive, she was an upbeat complement to our meal. The entrées come with a side salad, which clearly adds value to the dinner. It included fresh lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumbers, dressed with a house-made Italian dressing. The dinner menu was robust, offering many options. I chose the chicken parmigiana with linguine. The cutlets were nicely seasoned and cooked to perfection. The linguine was al dente and served with what I would consider one of the best red sauces you'll find in Florida--likely an old family recipe. I even soaked up the last bit of sauce with one of the dinner rolls. Well done, Chef Mike! My wife had the salmon, and my daughter chose chicken with a vodka sauce. Both of their entrées looked amazing. Now I'll look forward to my next visit.
