Reviews for Trattoria Delia in Burlington, VT
Everything was average. Not bad by any means but not above par either. Had the gnocchi dish in a cream sauce, claimed to have... mushrooms but not a mushroom in sight. Plain taste, little bit of truffle oil and the sausage had almost no flavor (could passas ground beef). Cocktail was excellent, service was good. Just nothing to be wowed by. Read more
We ate at the bar - mainly because the bar seats have padding and the dining room chairs do not! It feels like you’re dining... in a cozy hobbit hole. Low ceilings with wood beams, dark but not gloomy. Husband had the swordfish special and I had thegnocchi. Both were excellent and delivered in a very timely manner! The bartender had a fun, dry humor and was attentive butdidn’t hover. The drinks were well made. It was a good choice for dinner. Notably, a pasta dish that the gentlemen next to usordered did not arrive with their order. The bartender noticed and proactively said that he’d make sure it was removed fromthe bill but he wanted to make sure they had the opportunity to enjoy it - basically asked in a very classy way if they wantedit at the bar or packed to go. They chose the bar. The Manager then personally delivered the pasta and made chit chat for a fewminutes. I love fine dining and I have a fine dining background. Too often nowadays you don’t see Managers ‘touching’ thetables at all - even when there’s been an issue - let alone personally delivering re-fires, etc. I noticed and I appreciatedthe gesture nearly as much as the intended audience! We will definitely be regulars here due to the excellent quality food ANDservice! Read more
Fancy little restaurant. Food was amazing best calamari we have ever had for appetizer. Good size portions as well
Plating was nice, decor is cozy. We really wanted to like the food. It wasn’t terrible … but it wasn’t great either….... The special (scallop and mushroom tagliatelle with a cream sauce) was simply underwhelming… at best. The espresso had a saltytaste (due to either under or over extracting). And dessert was again…. Underwhelming. Read more
We actually ate at Soto next door so we got both menus for Soto and trattoria delia. We ended up ordering only from trattoria... delia. We got the duck, the quail, and the gnocchi. It was all so so so good! My favourite dish was the stuffed quail withmushroom risotto. I LOVED it! Definitely worth the $$$. Read more
Very quaint little restaurant hiding on St. Paul Street. Make sure you call a day in advance or make reservations online because... everyone wants a seat at this place. They were running a special for a veal shank. Never had the pleasure of having theopportunity to order a veal shank at a restaurant before. They cooked it medium rare perfectly. The service of this place isnothing short of impressive. They seated us early. Didn't rush our experience at all. Our waitress explained the specials andmenu by memory almost poetically. The cocktail and wine menu are very extensive and bourgeois. Perfect place to take thatspecial someone. I'll be back for pasta next time. Thank you. Read more
Beautiful almost hole in the wall Italian restaurant. It gets really packed so make sure you get a reservation. I went here for... my birthday and they seated me in a private corner which was so nice. They also have seating in the back with a scenic decorwall of faux plants that makes it perfect for an instagrm pic. The menu is small as they do specialize, but all dishes are richand delicious. I had the gnocchi and mushroom plate, and when those mushrooms touched my tongue, I thought I died and went toheaven. They are locally produced mushrooms and they were simmered in a heavenly sauce. I mentioned that my partner and I wereguests and staying at a hotel and did not want to bring food back, and the host and waiter were happy to offer a half plate!!!Great service. I highly recommend doing so because the tiramisu was amazing! I have high standards for tiramisu and they usereal marscapone cheese, which is mandatory and traditional. Currently has cute outdoor seating as well. Not sure if it will beavailable as it gets colder. Read more
Cozy, romantic, and a delight for one’s palate. Trattoria Delia offers table and bar seating with dishes and specials for all.... The staff were friendly, well-versed in all the dishes offered, and perfectly paced our dining experience. We opted to try twoof the specials: Italian Escargot and the Ricotta Gnocchi with Wild Boar. Both dishes were exceptional! I am very particularabout my gnocchi, and this house made gnocchi were perfect pillows of deliciousness! My dining companion ordered the Veal OssoBuco which was exceptionally tender, and sauced to perfection. Of course, we had to have dessert. I must say that TrattoriaDelia has the best Tiramisu which was enjoyed much to quickly! Location: just blocks from Lake Champlain, around the cornerfrom The Flynn theater, and a couple blocks from Church St. Perfect! Read more
