It's the BEST!
Took us awhile to select from the huge menu of mouth-watering authentic meals. We each started off with a gigantic margarita, which I recall was under $3.00.

Husband ordered the Pasta Florence and I had the lasagna, which were both sinfully delicious and comparable to the best Italian meal we have had anywhere. We should have ordered the pizza, but from the size of it, it looked like a whole meal in and of itself. Next time we will, even if we have to take some home with us. Try it people..it's the best kept secret in Arizona, but don't know for how much longer :~)    [26 Sep 2003 11:05:20]

Brightest Spot in Sierra Vista
When Delio's opened its doors in 1996, it was exactly what was needed to brighten up the dining choices in Sierra Vista. The owners are almost always there to ensure that the food and service exceed your expectations. The decor is very pretty and tastefully done. I live in Phoenix, but travel to Sierra Vista often and I always make sure that I fit in a meal at Delios!    [26 Sep 2003 11:30:54]

Nothing Special
After reading the prior reviews we had high hopes for Delio's in Sierra Vista. In retrospect I should have noticed that several of the reviews were posted on the same day and downgraded the reliability accordingly.

Anyway, we stopped in for dinner when we were staying near Sierra Vista over Thanksgiving weekend. One of us ordered the Gnocchi (with marinara sauce, instead of the meat sauce), the other ordered a half portion of spinach lasagna.

While waiting for our meal we had the opportunity to much on the bread sticks. These tasted as though they were day old: just a bit on the stale side.

Dinner was brought out, and while they were good sized portions, they were nothing special.

In fact, the gnocchi was overcooked to the point of being mushy and covered with what tasted like watered down tomato paste. Not good at all. There was no way I could finish this.

The spinach lasagna was better. The pasta wasn't overcooked, and there was plenty of spinach and cheese to make for a filling portion. But even here, the food was at best average.    [01 Dec 2003 09:54:01]

continually disappointing
Maybe I'm a glutton for punishment, but we keep returning to Delio's, maybe thinking that 'last time must have been an off night', or 'maybe it'll be a different cook'.
Service there leaves a lot to be desired. Most (not all) of the food tastes like it's based from frozen and then ingredients just added to.

Think I'd be better off sticking to the new 'chain' Italian place. Food's no better there, but at least it's easier to get to.    [20 Jul 2004 23:36:09]

Love Delios
Being a local Sierra Vistan, I am proud to have such a wonderful place to eat lunch or dinner. The food overall is wonderful, if there happens to be a problem the staff is more than happy to make it right!    [31 Jul 2004 21:59:45]

Lousy Service
My first and only experience with Delios was horrible. I spent $17 plus a $5 tip to wind up with Steve the manager arguing with me over what words I specifically used when I placed my order!    [19 Jan 2006 19:19:37]

Haven't Been Back in a Year
I have to agree with "Continually Disappointed."

To the DAY a year ago, we went there for pizza. The table bread and the pizza dough were the same and they tasted like soggy buritto shells! The sauce wasn't anything special and the service was "meek" at best, timid at the worst.

Too bad for you, too if you want a beer selection. Usual crap on tap.

If Delio's is the winner w/the other "chain restaurant" now history, St Francis save the City of Sierra Vista from bad Italian!!!    [22 Jan 2007 18:18:59]
