Bully on the block.

Del's is as many of you know located in Pittsburgh's Little Italy. It's situated at the very beginning of the main drag on Liberty if you're coming up from the Strip or over on Baum Blvd. For that and the nice exterior a lot of people not familiar from the area give it a try. Though I really wonder how many people go back for a second visit. I sadly can say I've been suckered into going 3x's and not once have had an experience worthy of a street packed with so many good options.

Del's is a typical Italian place with prices inflated like their egos. Their dishes are typical and they can't even pull off the simplest Italian fare.

I will say however though that the chicken diablo is a decent dish and what I get when forced to go.

Inflated egos, poor service, very average Italian food.

I was so very looking forward to eating here. got a takeout order, ordered the spaghetti with mushroom and bacon cream sauce, bacon date meatballs, and spicy seafood pasta. the meatballs were quite good. the date added a nice sweetness and anything wrapped in bacon is delicious. the sauce was a little on the tangy side. little bit too acidic if you ask me. spaghetti with mushroom and bacon cream sauce was really good. a very simple dish with few ingredients done very well. highly recommend this dish. the spicy seafood pasta was good and bad. I would say the dish as a whole was great. sauce was good, lots of seafood and large scallops. only problem was the mussels were horrific. they were spoiled rotten or something. they smelled like poop. I could not eat it. the mussels pretty much ruined the entire dish for me. not sure what was going on with the mussels, but they all smelled bad. I'm iffy about going back after my experience.

Au Petit Resto, malgre son nom, Au petit Resto n'est pas un petit resto. J'y ai ete dans le cadre d'un souper de groupe, nous etions 10 et nous avions le menu de groupe.

On peut y voir toute de suite une certaine atmosphere conviviale. Il y a un petit foyer en plein milieu, pour se sentir a la maison. Les hotes sont tres aimables, ils se sont accommodes a notre groupe et on permis certaines personnes de prendre autre chose que le menu de groupe.

J'ai commence avec une salade de betterave. C'etait bon. Salade de betteraves, verdure et fromage de chevre. You can't go wrong with that. Je vous avouerai que, jusque la, rien d'impressionnant.

C'est au menu principal que la magie a fait son effet. J'ai choisi de manger la cuisse de canard confite, salade et frites maisons. Je dois dire que c'est tres bon. La cuisse de canard etait si tendre et dure a la fois. Les frites etaient malade, car elles avaient un peu de gras de canard qui avait coule dessus. Oh oui.

Alors que j'etais enchante par ma cuisse de canard et les restants de mes collegues, le charme a diminue au niveau du dessert. J'ai pris la creme brulee. Je sais, c'est un peu le dessert trop facile. J'ai donc ete decu en goutant une creme brulee qui ressemble aux autres. Je recommanderais donc le tiramitsu, qu'un ami avait pris et qui etait bien bon.

J'y retournerais? Peut-etre pour les soupers de groupe, je dois dire que la place est vraiment pratique pour cela.
