   Ate here on Valentine’s Day. We’re not very picky, but neither of us liked the food very much. Ribeye was too charred, pasta was just okay. Prices were high, especially for cocktails. It also felt like they upsell everything- from referring to free water as “unfiltered tap water” to an extra $5 charge to include marinara sauce with the $23 calamari. Service was good. We don’t plan on going back.

   Thanks for the review, Matthew. We're sorry to hear that your Valentine's Day experience at DeLuca didn't meet your expectations. We take your feedback on our food and pricing seriously and will use it to improve but we use only fresh and high-quality ingredients that you surely do not find in another Italian restaurant in Town. We're glad you enjoyed our service but understand that it's not always easy to please everyone. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you again and provide a better experience.

   I really like this place. The servers were excellent with excellent recommendations for wine/ food pairing. I chose a special offered on a special menu. The special was a center-cut filet with roasted potatoes slice and black truffle. The steak was perfect. Very tender and delicious. My only criticism is that they served it without the truffles. I didn’t actually notice though until I was halfway through my dish. It was still delicious and I ate the entire dish. I brought it up to our waitress and just asked to charge me the normal price for their regular filet that is on the menu. She was very responsive and professional. She sent the manager/ owner over who was really apologetic. I told them the steak was perfect and delicious, no worries. The only thing I wish, was that I could have tried it the way it was supposed to be served, but had noticed too late to ask them to bring a new dish. I will continue to dine here, because the food is great, the service is great and the ambiance is very nice.

Your feedback regarding the center-cut filet special is greatly appreciated. We sincerely apologize for the oversight with the dish, as it was intended to include black truffle. We understand how important it is to receive the full culinary experience as described, and we regret that you missed the opportunity to try the dish as originally intended. It is reassuring to know that our waitress and manager addressed your concern professionally and promptly, and we appreciate your understanding in this matter.

   We had a wonderful experience at De Luca. The service was exceptional, attentive but not obtrusive. My martini was perfect and my wife had a very generous pour of Prosecco. Our food was creative and delicious. This was our first time dining at De Luca but we were made to feel very welcome. We will be back.

   We had a great experience from the moment we walked in all the way through dessert. Our server, John, was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and provided great recommendations. The portion sizes were perfect and a great price point for the quality. We will definitely be returning in the near future.

   We enjoyed our first visit to DeLuca. We had visited the location before and found the food at DeLuca much better. We will try it again. Our server was wonderful.

   As usual, the food and service were excellent. Nowhere in the Nashville area do I recall having fresh cut prosciutto served with the Burrata -outstanding. The Spaghetti Carbonate was nicely done with guanciale vs. Italian bacon -very special treatment. Our favorite Italian restaurant.

   For the price the food is average. My meal wasn’t cooked fully through which we told the waiter who ensured that he would tell the his supervisor and come back. He never came back and when he did he avoided it. It wasn’t that we weren’t going to pay for it it was the fact he had told us someone would come over. It’s not worth it.

   Hi Maria, We're truly sorry to hear about your experience at DeLuca. It's disappointing to learn that we didn't meet your expectations, especially when it comes to the quality of food and the service we provide. We understand how frustrating it must have been for your meal not to be cooked to your liking and for it to not be served as promised. I'd like to know which entrée you're talking about and who was the server in question. We always aim to provide a top-notch dining experience, and it's clear we missed the mark this time. Your feedback is invaluable to us and we assure you that we will address these issues with our team. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you again and provide a better experience. Best Regards, The Management Team

   Excellent service…. The food would have been perfect except for bland Caesar salad. Prices are high, especially for salads. I would prefer they offer a small starter salad with entrees at a reasonable (12 or less) price. But over all a nice meal.
   

   DeLucaResponded on 19 January 2025

   Thanks for the review, Nina! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our service at DeLuca. We're sorry to hear that our Caesar salad didn't meet your expectations. We appreciate your feedback and will certainly take it into consideration as we continually strive to improve our menu offerings. Our prices reflect the quality of the ingredient we use, prime quality and no second choices. A $12 entree will entitle cheap products as other restaurants serve at that price. Chain restaurants offer salad and entrees in a bundle, we are not such restaurant, and we want to offer a true Italian experience with many courses to enjoy. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you again soon!
