Dalmata Italiano

This place is amazing. Do not sleep on the pasta. Yes, I know - you think you want pizza, but you want the pasta - TRUST ME. Handmade, super super high quality pasta. Pizza was good too but you can get good pizza in multiple places, but pasta this good is so rare. Also, a super cool casual spot that is not stuffy like so many lesser Italian restaurants. Great vibe, amazing polite service. Can’t rave enough about this place. They should be packed all day all night. We went on a Saturday at 8:30pm (had a reservation) and didn’t even need the reservation. It was chill!! Go now!

My family and I ate at Dalmata Italiano last night, and the experience was nothing short of amazing. From the moment we walked in, the staff did everything possible to make sure we were comfortable and taken care of. It truly felt like more than just a restaurant, it felt like a place we can call home.

The pizza? Absolutely incredible. I’ve eaten at some of the highest-rated pizza spots in Rehoboth Beach, and I can honestly say this is the best pizza in town. The flavor, the quality, everything was on point.

If you don’t believe me, stop by and try it for yourself. We’ll definitely be back every time we visit Rehoboth Beach.

We had a fabulous meal at Dalmata, a place we had strolled by so many times - so glad we decided to give it a try! Our party of seven was quoted a 35 minute wait time, and we were seated in about half an hour. My wife and I waited at the bar and had a drink, which was lovely, and our service was lovely and friendly all evening. The food was delicious - we had the cheesy garlic bread and the focaccia to start, and both were great. I went with the Daddy portion of the chicken parmesan, and it was terrific. Came with a side of the homemade mafalda marinara - even better with the leftovers for lunch the next day! My daughter loved her chicken pesto pizza, and everything everyone had was awesome. The decor and the vibe is awesome - the italian movie posters and colorful lights, the italian bruce lee posters in the bathroom, and the multiple TVs playing good flicks for the kids (Rio 2, Freaky Friday, Incredibles). The only thing was that our order took a long time, even orders from the bar. You know the food was delicious and wonderful when even with a seriously extra long wait for food, everyone left raving about the meal and excited about coming back next year. The server said they were having a printer issue and that's why stuff took so long. No worries, it happens, and man, was it worth it. We had a wonderful time and will be back!
