We celebrated my friend wedding at this restaurant today & it was amazing. The food was delicious , I'm very picky when it come to pizza & it was one of the best I've had. The service was very efficient as well. Despite being a few to serve us they did an amazing job. I totally recommand if you have to book a big event.
We needed vegan options & Del Friscos provided lots of options. The food was absolutely delicious! The staff was nice & the Vegan Tacos were the best I have ever had!! Pizza was also great!
Tasty & fresh Italian food in the neighborhood. The pizza & zucchini fries were amazing. Tiramisu was quite average for an Italian restaurant. Service was slow during lunch hours, but the vibe was nice for a weekday afternoon.
Went with a very large group. Waitress forgot to put in an order. Had the lasagna & it was ok, nothing special. The appetizers were wonderful. Calamari, fried zucchini, sweet potatoes fries.
This was supposed to be just a lunch get together with friends, but the lady who served us changed it quickly into a celebration! EFFIE this is the name of this lovely, warm & entertaining server at Del Friscos DDO. She was just so accommodating & sincere!
The food & the ambiance were great as always, but Effie's service was just a cherry on top!
Amazing food & drinks lovely staff very friendly. I highly recommend this place ....not much more to add but as always an amazing experience one our favorite places to come to this is my wife & I's choice of place to come to for our anniversary
It was a Wednesday, not a very busy day really, but the service was slow, a little slower than slow, it was a table of 10 persons & we were arriving in a space of 20 minutes, finally we ordered some drinks & cocktails, after the drinks & having previously been reviewing the menu ...so it took 35 minutes for the waitress to come to take the food order & we ordered as starters meat balls in sauce with Cheese over & eggplant lasagna... & only then we knew that the Chef was not preparing the lasagna, which we should have known from minute 1... so she never told us, that way we would not have created false expectations & not wasted our time, but we ordered something else, after another 30 minutes at least, the starters arrived, the meat balls had an excellent flavor combined with the sauce & cheese, the texture was firm but soft to the palate, the first ball was really good, I was really enjoying it, the second came with a surprise, a piece of eggshell that the sound & sensation In the mouth, it's one of the most unpleasant thing you can find in a preparation, that killed the balls & ruined the moment (see images). However, my wife's starter replacement wasn't bad at all. Then, 42 more minutes passed before they came to collect the plates, & just over 15 minutes later the pancetta sandwich finally arrived, by that time we had no more appetite, then it took a good 40 minutes more to come & pick the dishes & ask about the desserts that only one of us ordered, then we asked for the sandwich that we had not touched, to take away, & after another 20 minutes or so, he came with the machine's bill.
We arrived at 6:22 pm & left at 9:13 pm. A long stay & not a full pleasant experience, although I can't say the rest of us weren't satisfied, but I didn't even ask. In short, I was left hoping for something better based on the reviews I had read.
The atmosphere is good & the decor is pleasant, perhaps with better waitressing & less carelessness from the Chef it would have been an excellent experience, just details could had change it all.
Amazing restaurant. Food was fabulous. Price was great. Portions where large so price was worth it. The atmosphere was fancy & with great professional service but prices where mid range. I would definitely go back.

I always liked Del Friscos & the food is very good but tonight's experience really stood out to me! We had Effie as our waitress & she truly went above & beyond to make sure the service was top notch. The staff here is always kind but she is truly amazing & we'd come back over & over again just for her!! 10/10!!
