| “ The only bad thing about DeLessio is that it closes too early. The food, however, is great. It's high quality but casual dining, always interesting, so much freedom, and just really chill. Perfect after-work dinner before hopping over to Martuni's for drinks.

Love DeLessio. Basically has 2 aspects: a high end bakery with tons of chocolate goodies, and a brunch/lunch place in the form of an extensive hot/cold buffet that is charged by weight. Pricing is not cheap, and the buffet food is a little uneven. But overall, there are a lot of yummy choices (great salads, sometimes the meats are a little dried out from sitting to long, but they don't seem un-fresh by any means). Great pre-made sandwiches and grilled panini. But the shining star here is dessert, and specifically chocolate. They have about a dozen varieties of miniature chocolate cupcakes that are gorgeous and heavenly. They have some really impressive gravity- defying cakes (sure to impress company), and they sell "bubble wrap"-shaped chocolate bark in a number of flavors, all divine. Highly recommended. ”

| “ i really wish i'd come here sooner! what a great little lunch spot! so many choices and the food is so good! the veggies are fresh and colorful, the flavors are well put together, the staff is friendly and helpful. i will definitely be back. great choices, great tastes. a bit crampt because 90% of the space is devoted to food and kitchen, but who cares? i'm not there for decor. i'm there to try their handmade chocolates and pastries and sandwiches, etc. stop in and pick up a snack! ”

| “ By the time I got there, 9:30 a.m, they had already sold almost all their breakfast pastries!!! Only two left.. So I tried their spinach cheese brioche and who wouldn't want to try one of their many different tiny cupcakes!?!? They are so cute. So i got the banana cake with butterscotch frosting.. Really good and you don;t feel bad for eating it because their the perfect size to keep you satisfied.. ”

| “ Delessio is the absolute best place for a quick lunch, take-out dinner, or for dessert! They have a hot and cold salad bar with the best thai grilled chicken I've ever eaten (and I eat a lot of thai food, let me tell you!). I also recommend their cheesy mac and cheese, and their meatloaf with tomato sauce on top. Everything is so fresh! Made within a couple of hours. You can also get wrapped or made-to-order sandwiches. But, the best part besides all that? The desserts. Oh my God, if I only had room to tell you all about the mini cupcakes that are each an artistic creation, or the fancy shards of chocolate on their 3-tiered cakes (much cheaper than Citizen Cake, and with less waitstaff attitude!). You can also buy big pieces of chocolate in multiple flavors (try: white chocolate w/ginger, for eg, or dark chocolate mint). Delessio's is the best bakery in town. Service, as mentioned, is without pretense, and seating is always available inside or out.

| “ I think I've passed by this place a dozen times never giving it a 2nd thought. So when I finally did pop in here for a breakfast meeting i was pleasantly surprized. Excellent food options all very tasty. THey were putting out the lunch items while I was there and was tempted to stay for a few more snacks. If you like chocolate you'll be in heaven. A cute lplace ”

| “ Great lunch, lots of italian items, you pay by weight. (I paid just shy of $10 for my full plate) Sunny patio out front. The made-to-order chocolate wedge cake is absurdly good, can feed 8+ and costs $25...twice the size, twice the quality, 2/3 the price of other relatively-famous bakery/cake outfits... ”
