"Delizie" meaning delicious, is an enthusiastic endeavor to preserve sacred family traditions & bring delight to peoples’ plates far beyond Italy's borders. Hailing from Calabria, the infamous "toe" of the Italian peninsula where the mountains meet a breathtaking coastline, owner Francesco Ruggiero brings to life the richness of this southern region's culinary heritage, introducing & reacquainting others with an irresistible array of savory flavors & vibrant aromas. Using a combination of carefully selected imports & fresh, locally grown ingredients, you can indulge to your heart's desire in a variety of homemade pastas & traditional dishes. To render the meal complete pair your food with an appealing wine from a list featuring Italian & Californian wines that best suit your palate. The restaurant itself maintains a cozy, relaxed, yet elegant feel that invites others to join in the ambience that comes to life when the simplest things are brought to the table: good food, wine & people.

Our family ate here for the first time to celebrate a birthday. We received a very warm welcome and throughout the meal, the service was friendly, attentive and professional. The food was delicious; steak slices perfectly cooked, pastas (tortelloni, spaghetti, rigatoni, gnocchi al dente in interesting combinations of ingredients. Homemade focaccia was a tasty accompaniment. The only small improvement we would make would be crispier fried calamari. Desserts of tiramisu, a cake made with ricotta and pistachio and a special for the evening of affogato capped off a memorable meal.

Amazing authentic Southern Italian food. Pasta is homemade, thin and delicious. The spaghetti with shrimp in a delicious sauce is over the top! Love the generous pour of red wine, unlike any other restaurant in SC. Truly a fun experience. PS The complimentary homemade focaccia bread & oil is delicious treat for a hungry diner.

Three of us went for my birthday dinner. The food was excellent, and the service from Francesco and the other wait staff was exemplary. I was given a complementary Tiramisu dessert with a lit candle for my birthday, which was most appreciated. Their example of Tiramisu is among the best that I have ever had! Truly memorable. We'll be back soon. Highly recommended to all. Bravo!!!

Amazing birthday meal for three adults; their house made pastas are consistently delicious and superior to other Italian restaurants. Tomato cream sauce is balanced perfectly with good flavors and their appetizers are unique. Don’t miss limoncello cake or fresh mini cannolis if they have them. Italian wine list is thoughtful and varied. Will come back again and again.
