We recently had De Lucia’s cater our Q4 team culture-themed lunch, and it was absolutely outstanding! The Meat Sauce Lasagna, Chicken Alfredo Pasta, Caesar Salad, and fresh Italian breads were all delicious and received rave reviews from everyone. The quality, flavor, and presentation were exceptional, and the food truly elevated our event.
Not only was the cuisine authentic and flavorful, but the service was also seamless and professional, making the entire experience stress-free. Our team was happy and satisfied, and this lunch helped create a warm, collaborative atmosphere.
Thank you, De Lucia’s, Morgan and the staff for helping make our team lunch event a success! We highly recommend your restaurant for anyone looking for a top-notch Italian catering choice for their corporate team lunch in the Orange County, California area.

This is such a hidden gem! Amazing happy hour deals and the food is always on point! These deals run all day long. Today we enjoyed barbecue wings and a basket of fries! The fries were so good. Came out hot and fresh and seasoned just right. Our wings were also very good. You can get them naked or tossed in sauce. They will also serve them with sauce on the side. We had ours tossed in barbecue sauce which was a sweet sauce. Loved the flavor! They gave us a basket of bread and it was fresh baked, served warm with butter. Amazing!!!

First, the good: the pasta was cooked well and the sauce was good. The complimentary bread was tasty. The bad: the seafood was pretty bad (the mussels were very tough and the fish was very dry and tough) and the pizza was also not great (no fresh basil and it was extremely salty). Finally, the service was pretty lacking.

Love this little hide-a-way for the great sauce! My favorite time to visit is on Sundays during football season. It’s a great place to have a bloody Mary with a multitude of plasma screams in the bar and awesome cocktails.
Tonight, all things have changed, and I will now be coming as often as I can due to the great service of our server Anita!
Anita is awesome personable makes you feel right at home and we loved her British accent and sense of humor.
Whoever is the hiring manager needs to get a gold star and please do not ever let Anita need to go !

While on business travel, I had dinner at DeLucia’s Italian Restaurant & Bar. I sat at the bar and I started off with an Old Fashion. Emily was the bartender and made a very good drink. For dinner, I had the Meatball & Peppers sub with meat sauce. It was fantastic. If you are looking for delicious Italian food, I highly recommend Delucia’s.

Decent place, well lit, seating was solid, and the food was quite good. However the server we had totally scammed my table. He says it’s happy hour so there are drink specials, one guy asked for what’s on draft, server say they dont do draft but they got bottles. Okay, fine gets a bottle. Not five minutes after guy gets his beer, the hostess drops off a “happy hour specials” menu and they got draft beer and it’s less than bottles. Then two of us get pasta dishes, and the server asks what kinda sauce we want and say he can do whatever, and lists and bunch of sauce options. We both try the spicy marinara, at the server’s recommendation. To be fair, it was quite good, however when the bill comes, there is $5 upcharge for the sauce. Now this was work meal, so I wasn’t not going to make a scene, so I just paid it. But this very much ruined the experience. The food was good, but just beware if servers make any suggestions.

Really great food and even better service. We went for dinner with 9 people last night, and our waiter was outstanding. The bread, salad, and pasta is all very good. I ordered the two sausages with pasta and marinara which was excellent. Large portions so great for leftovers or sharing.

My first visit to De Lucia’s was a great one! The pizza bread served with oil and vinegar was the perfect start, fresh and flavorful. I ordered the chicken marsala, which was outstanding. The mushroom white wine sauce was delicious, and the chicken was perfectly cooked with a large portion size. I also upgraded to a side of angel hair pasta with clam sauce, which was easily the highlight of the meal. I’ll definitely be coming back for more.

Good Italian comfort food. Most servings are large enough to share. Service was good and they kept refreshing the bread. Bright clean atmosphere. We shared a chicken Marsala.
Second visit. Very crowded. Tried the chicken parmesan. It was overcooked. Also, they stacked the chicken, but melted the cheese on top, so 1/2 of one piece of chicken had no cheese.
Other foods our guests ordered were rated okay.

Their Eggplant Parmesan Sandwich blows Brizzio’s out of the water!
First time here (at the old Pepino’s location)
Staff was super friendly.
Food was delicious and from what I could see, the portions were pretty big!
Their bar had live music; a young lady playing rock classic tunes with her piano.
The only thing I would change would be the size of their TVs on the dining room area, they were rather small for a big room but the bar does have nice size screens.
