Wow, wow, wow! So amazing. What a treausure in this neighborhood. Everything was perfect. You cannot make a bad choice. Julie our waitress was fantastic. We will be back. The Chicken Piccata was the best I ever had! Show stoppingly good. Live jazz was an added bonus on this particular evening. I repeat.. we will be back.

For some unknown reason, we had yet to dine at Del Rio, despite living in the area for decades. That will now change after recently celebrating a quiet birthday dinner here. Wonderful food; Rick, our waiter, was responsive and very personable; the atmosphere is the very essence of a friendly family-owned Italian restaurant. We enjoyed the live music provided by Dave(?), who reminded me musically of the great Bobby Short. A little pricey, but well worth the expense Probably should call ahead for a reservation, though we were lucky on a Tuesday night to just walk in and get immediate seating. This is a wonderful place to take friends and/or family for a relaxed and intimate meal that fulfills all the senses.

Wow!! Service, Food and Atmosphere trifecta. Everything we tried…Duck Lasagna, Halibut, Shrimp Scampi, Veal and Tiramisu… were perfectly cooked. The sauces carried complimentary flavor. Owners on site watching over the details. Everyone connected to make it an exceptional visit.

Amazing experience, warm welcoming and friendly service. The small plates are perfect for the single dinner or table that want to sample a bit of everything and are a really great bang for the buck. The wine and alcohol list is impressive and expansive, covering pretty much anything ever bottled! I really enjoyed my shrimp scampi over house made pasta and char grill sausage and marinaded peppers. Even the warm loafs of fresh baked bread they brought out were delicious.
