Dēliz Italian Steakhouse

“Deliz Italian Steakhouse was such a great experience.”

Deliz Italian Steakhouse was such a great experience. Valet was $18 and easy, and we were seated in about 10 minutes, which felt pretty quick for a busy night. We started with the pan brioche and it was so yummy soft, buttery, and honestly hard to stop eating. The grilled octopus was surprisingly tender and tasted like chicken in the best way, not chewy at all. The pasta was great rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Service was fast and attentive from start to finish, and everything came out smoothly without feeling rushed. For dessert, we tried the pistachio cheesecake and it didn’t even taste like a traditional cheesecake super light, not overly sweet, and really unique. Overall, this is a perfect spot for a date night or a girls’ night out. Great ambiance, solid food, and efficient service. Definitely worth checking out.

“Exceptional meal and outstanding service at Deliz.”

Exceptional meal and outstanding service at Deliz! From start to finish our dinner at Deliz was flawless. The complimentary bread was delicious (9/10) and set the tone. Cocktails were excellent the Drunk Vida was a perfect 10/10. We shared several starters and every bite was memorable: the octopus was tender and flavorful (9/10), and the mushrooms were incredibly tasty and perfectly seasoned (9/10). The scallops were sweet, beautifully plated, and delightful (9/10). Our mains were phenomenal. The Wagyu tomahawk steak was cooked perfectly — juicy, rich, and seasoned with just the right balance of citrus, rosemary, and butter. The wine the staff recommended paired beautifully with the steak and elevated the whole course. The mashed potatoes were full of flavor and truly amazing (10/10). Dessert was the perfect finish. Everything was fantastic, the ice cream and sorbet was hands down the best. What sets Deliz apart is the service. Our server Ansel was absolutely amazing — attentive, friendly, and always on top of refills and questions. And the manager, Matt, deserves special recognition. He was incredibly kind, genuinely caring about our experience, and impressively knowledgeable about every dish. Matt personally checked on us, explained each item in detail, and recommended outstanding desserts — his warmth and professionalism made our evening extra special. Overall, Deliz delivered exceptional food, perfect cooking, thoughtful wine pairings, and top-tier service. We can’t wait to return. Thank you, Matt and Ansel, for making the night unforgettable!

The atmosphere is stunning and the food was fantastic. From the steak frites to the chicken parmesan with honey drizzle to the side of mushrooms and more- it was such a great dinner and I can't wait to go back.

“Excellent steakhouse but also quite pricey.”

Excellent steakhouse but also quite pricey. Service and food are both excellent. I like that the background music was at a level where we could still have good conversations. Too many new places are making the atmosphere unpleasant with booming audio. Picture below is a $200 tomahawk steak.

“Impromptu popped on by over the weekend and sat at the bar upstairs for a full meal.”

Impromptu popped on by over the weekend and sat at the bar upstairs for a full meal. Food- pricey definitely but outstanding. We got the deliz brioche which was basically a freshly baked croissant, wood fired oysters, raw oysters, steak frites, and truffle cacio e Pepe. Everything was perfect, no notes. There’s a lot on the menu that id love to try next time but not sure which of the aforementioned dishes id give up then! Service- bar service was attentive and quick. Vibe- The atmosphere was interesting for wicker park/bucktown, which is usually a much more laid back vibe, the vibe here was more west loop and going out-y bit. Dark and sultry if you will? Would recommend for a special occasion would get pricey if it was a regular Friday night dinner.

“We discovered Deliz while looking for a great dinner on our annual between-holidays trip to Chicago.”

We discovered Deliz while looking for a great dinner on our annual between-holidays trip to Chicago. What a lucky find it was! The room is gorgeous, but still warm and comfortable - super inviting. All the details are really on-point from the lighting to the seating to the music. (Yes, I shamelessly did search for the songs to add to a playlist of my own. Always steal from the best.) I'll try not to wax too rhapsodic about the brioche because you're not just going for bread, right? But daaaang if it's not worth its own call out. It's buttery, flaky and perfect as is, or with a quick swipe through any of the sauces on your plate. So so so good, don't skip it. We enjoyed (inhaled?) the Wood Fired Oysters while they were still hot and succulent and would get them again every time...*magic* butter. The steak was fired to both a beautiful, salty crust outside, and meltingly pretty pink inside. Zero tips on improvement. Scallops were sweet and tender, with velvety cauliflower puree and a nice little surprise of crisp apple for counterpoint. My companion's oil-washed Martini was so enjoyable, he opted for a second one, and I enjoyed a pre-meal Negroni, with our server choosing a delicious wine for my meal (Sauternes, I believe, though I generally stick to dry whites). If you can manage to stop ordering off of the well thought out menu, you can also enjoy a slice of the aptly-named cheesecake for a not-too-sweet ending. Service was as wonderful as everything else about the visit. Attentive without being invasive (that awesome balance I love), helpful, relaxed, and charming. We felt welcomed, well cared for, and appreciated as guests. I hate that I didn't write down our server's name to thank him personally, because he really helped make it a lovely evening. And our thanks to GM Matt for stopping by to check on us as well. The generous, delicious experience was one we'll use as a benchmark for other restaurants in the future. Hope we can still get a reservation next time we're back in town! Thank you to the whole team for the perfect vibe from end to end.

It was a feast! Great food and ambience at this steakhouse. Dish after dish we were impressed. We started with the spirit free cocktail which was perfect. The charred octopus, I have never had it in a better way. Felt like it melted in my mouth. We got a parmesan crusted halibut, peppercorn crusted steak and mushrooms on the side. The halibut was one of the best fish dishes I have had. Tasted fresh and delicious while it preserved the taste of the fish. The steak was great too. Kudos to the mushroom dish. Perfectly seasoned and sautéed. The pistachio cheesecake at the end of it all was refreshing which is something I myself can’t believe I am saying. One of the top deserts in my opinion. The restaurant was beautifully designed and arranged. The staff were friendly and quick in service. All in all one of the best restaurants I have been to in Chicago.

After attending their opening a few weeks ago, tonight I enjoyed a proper dinner there and it confirmed how amazing this new spot it. Sultry vibes, amazing service. Their oysters and prawns were a hit. The mezcal cocktail a must, loved the seafood pasta. Also that tiramisu tower was wow! Go here before the word spreads!

We had a phenomenal time at Deliz Italian Steakhouse. The atmosphere is romantic and thoughtfully designed. The steak treats were great, the tuna tartare and gnocchi really stood out, and the tiramisu served with dry ice was a fun surprise. My husband loved his old-fashioned. Would absolutely recommend!!!!!!
