- DDENISEToronto / Ontario •9 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoWe like to go to Del’s for our monthly girls meet up as food and service are always good. The location is perfect for all four of us as well. This time we were seated in the Courtyard area inside below the stairs which was a bit loud and busy with people coming and going through to the washrooms. Our server was very attentive but we waited awhile for our food which has never happened. We did question our server because it was unusual and she said there were larger parties in that were keeping the kitchen busy.More infoDels Italian KitchenPrice: Moderate• Italian• Kitchener•4.7
