Taste: So yummy! The espresso is legit, strong, and delicious. I've tried a few pastries (very delicious and unique, not your average LA croissant). I look forward to trying the lunch options and unique ice creams. There are also packaged pastas, sauce, oils, and cookies for sale to make a special dinner. Ambiance: A hole in the wall, Italian neighborhood vibe with tables and people speaking Italian at the coffee bar :) Comparison to other local coffee spots: I prefer Delizie Romane to Jameson Brown down the street for the Italian style and unique coffee and HOMEMADE pastries plus the lunch option. Plus, there are open tables! read more

Great addition to the corner of Allen and Villa, friendly, family owned -- perfect coffees and tasty food. I can't wait to head back for a pinsa this afternoon! read more

Amazing place! Delicious freshly made food, very friendly owners, very pleasant atmosphere! Our favorite neighborhood place!

I have driven right by this unassuming place so many times because it has had so many different businesses inhabiting it over the years. I actually looked at the sign today and saw that it was an Italian bakery and decided to stop in. So glad I did! Family owned Roman bakery with many different menu items that I had never heard of. I decided on the porchetta focaccia and pinsa quattro staggioni (like a pizza), suppli (like arancini) and tiramisu. The crust on the pinsa was really delicious and the olive oil taste really came through. The focaccia had a great taste and texture. The tiramisu was delicious as well! I would totally come back to support this small business. read more

Great Ma and Pop shop that seems very authentic. It's a different kind of pastry than I'm used to that was very tasty. Plenty of seating and would be a great place to meet up with some friends for coffee and a pastry or lunch. read more

I stopped in yesterday for lunch. I ended up ordering the focaccia sandwich. It took about 15 minutes to come out, but wow it was so worth the wait. So fresh and delicious a huge portion too, I could have easily split it with somebody. Very friendly service. Daydreaming about the focaccia today. read more

Overpriced and small potion for a local food joint. Do not order any of $5.50 fries. I ordered a potato fry w stuffed mozzarella and they gave me one tiny finger size fry. Also ordered zucchini fries and gave me fried cod instead by mistake but it was very soggy. All their fry orders are a single order and didnt specify and feel like i got ripped off. I wouldn't have ordered if i knew it was $5.50/piece The lasagna was very mediocre and the flat pasta was overcooked. I really wanted like this place but still need alot of work needs to be done. read more

The food is authentic Italian food. The family is absolutely wonderful. They are the nicest people in the world. We love their pastries and desserts. I recommend this place 100% fabulous . read more

I can't rave enough about Delizie. My husband and I happened to walk by on February 7th which was their soft opening. We have been looking for an authentic Italian spot to sit and enjoy a cappuccino and bomba on a Saturday/Sunday morning. My husband is the son of Italian immigrants and sitting at the bar, listening to the owners speak to each other takes us back to lazy Saturday mornings in Rome. The moment the door opens, we hear Buon Giorno and immediately feel at home. The coffee is wonderful, the bomba are superb, and the food is just like my mother-in-law makes. I have not found a single thing on the menu that I don't love. We are so lucky to be able to walk here multiple times a week and always on the weekends. Everyone that works there is always welcoming and warm. We will continue to frequent Delizie as often as possible. read more

As soon as I saw maritozzi sold at this place I had to come try! My family and I used to live in Italy and i can't stand any 'pretend' overpriced Italian / bakery places. I ordered a few things to try , the flat bread/ pizza they made us was AMAZING they were generous on the prosciutto. Maritozzi was amazing. Espresso was good and I felt like I was back in Italy again , with the usual large cup of sugar packets I loved that they were family run and Italian!!!!! Although a couple of things I wanted sold out I can't wait to go back. Last thing... they have bindi Milano desserts in the fridge, it's so nostalgic to me. Well done Jessica and family!!!! read more

Delizioso! The BEST place to go for homemade, authentic Italian food! Makes me feel like I'm back in Rome! Make sure to have their bread, lasagna, and tiramisu! read more

Real Roman style Italian food, just delicious. Also a must try is the "Zeppole" which is an Italian donut-type pastry that is classically fried; amazingly good. The p read more

New place, "authentic Italian " food. Walked in, completely empty at dinner time. Which pasta do you recommend? They are all great! Was the response. I'll take the carbonara,. Our most popular! Huge disappointment, no flavor at all. Spoke with the owner, she said that's the way the authentic style is supposed to be. Thanks for the clarification. read more

Very nice place. for lunch we had Capri sandwich and Tiramisu, both were excellent. They also gave us a couple of slices of pizza to taste which I will definitely order next time. All of the food was of high quality. We will be coming back. read more

This is my second review for this place and it's just THAT good! The food tastes amazing, obviously, my mom and I have very lame tastebuds and we're from El Salvador so this is our first time trying lasagna (that wasn't some processed/frozen stuff) and it was amazing! The people here are the kindest and most sweetest people ever, literally couldn't have had better service. They could've set my order on fire and I still would've thought they were the nicest people on earth. The overall place is very nice, cozy seating and good music. My total for everting was about 48 which to me, as someone who does NOT go to restaurants, it is well worth it. read more

Delicious sandwiches and suppli! Crafted my own sandwich with mortadella and artichoke with mozzarella and it was amazing. The bread and mozzarella were made fresh in house. Tasted like sandwiches I had in Rome. The suppli (think arancini/ rice balls) were perfectly crispy outside and soft inside. read more

I had a zazzone sandwich...and once again my mouth is watering just thinking about it. Delicious home made bread and Italian sausage, smothered in cheese and peppers. O dios mio! My husband had the lasagna, which he snarfed down without offering me a bite, so I'll assume it was just as good. And the pastries we had for dessert... ODM, again! Yeah, the mother/daughter team are still working out a few kinks in their operation, but who cares when the food is so good? I love their selection of Sicilian sodas, too. Brave, ragazze! We will be back! read more

I know this is going to sound crazy but I got a cup of americano here and I think it was one of the best cups of coffee in my life.

Great service, food & waiters. Especially enjoyed the morning breakfast. Wish were open more hours & days.

Tiramisu is my favorite dessert, so I'm super excited that this place is down the block from my house. It was delicious! I'm excited to try their other items. And they may possibly have the best coffee in the area! read more

The food was absolutely delicious, and everything was prepared with great care and real authentic Italian food. The service was excellent--friendly, attentive, and welcoming from start to finish. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I would definitely recommend this place. read more

I love this place. Everything on the menu is so tasty. And the people so nice. I want to give them as much business as I can because I want to see them succeed. Their focaccia sandwiches are SO good.

I stopped by on my way home .Lovely service and delicious cornetto.Very crispy and light filled with apricot jam.

Delizie Romane Bakery is a delightful and delicious addition to Pasadena's food landscape. Located at the corner of Villa and Allen in Northeast part of the city, this family run bakery ioffers delicious focaccia and pastries. I recently had a Bomba filled with pistachio cream that was mind boggling good. It had a doughnut like quality and the cream was luscious with a nut forward flavor that was on point. There pizza dough is made using three different flours that gives it softness and chew that makes you yearn for more ( same is true for the focaccia, although the dough is different from that used for pizza). The toppings for pizza's are simple and fresh. In fact it is the simplicity of the cooking and baking at Delizie Romane ( the dedication to time worn shared family cultural food traditions) that makes what they produce so impressive. I highly unequivocally recommend Delizie Romane. It is a welcoming neighborhood place that will leave you smiling and wanting more! read more

It's a toss up if absolutely everything here is either more delicious, or more authentic -- actually, it's both! OUT OF THIS WORLD fantastic. Everything is as fresh and high-quality as it gets, and the family behind it all is wonderful to boot. Please please please support this wonderful neighborhood spot -- we are so lucky to have them! read more

Just visited this lovely corner restaurant. Nice and friendly welcome. Simple sandwich of Mortadella and provolone on freshly baked focaccia, and by freshly baked, it was literally baked to order. So dope! Pastas, sandwiches, and Pinsas (pizzas). Look forward to revisiting soon! read more

Wonderful food! Everything homemade! Can't wait to go back to try more dishes! Lasagna and Fettuccine Alfredo are fantastic.

This is an Italian family owned and operated cafe with authentic pastries and food homemade by the Mother. I used to live in Italy and this is just like Rome! The coffees are prepared exactly like in Italy where they pour the milk in just a little at a time which gives it a whole different taste and texture. I cannot recommend this place enough To the person who gave them 1 star and compared them to Costco because of your 2g2g experience, there is a place on that app for your review, not here. You can't double negative review them, that's unfair. read more

I have visited twice in 2 weeks. Owners of this new restaurant in our neighborhood are delightful people. My wife's father is from Italy. She said it was like having dinner at her Tia's home. Try it. You'll love the food. read more

Perfect al dente pasta, perfect sauces, perfect bread (doesnt even go bad after a day out), perfect olive oil and vinegarette, perfect foccacia sandwiches, perfect tiramisu, perfect service. read more

I discovered Delizie Romane just recently and have been there twice. The fiest time I ordered the simple sauce with spaghetti and today I had the vegetarian sandwich on homemade bread. Both were outstanding in taste and quality. They also stock a small grocery with various pastas and other Italian goodies. Oh, and don't forget the pastries, including my favorite homemade tiramisu. It's good to have an informal simple Italian restaurant close to my house. read more

Don't usually yelp. However, wanted to hoot and holler on how legit this place is for that Italian craving. High praises all around. Jess and Miguel are pleasant and passionate about what they do. Couldn't recommend enough read more
