Best Italian: Il Girasole and Izza Pizza

We like to put one restaurant dedicated to a sit-down with various Italian dishes and the second as a place focusing more on pizza for our Italian section. Il Girasole is one of the best-rated Italian eaters in Delray, and they include some unique dishes focusing on pasta, veal, and even seafood.

Another offering Il Girasole serves is frog legs. If you never had a frog, it tastes like chicken. Il Girasole is open only for dinner but stays open until 10 PM, making it an excellent night restaurant.

Meanwhile, Izza Pizza, located downtown, creates fresh pizza using only the freshest ingredients. Izza Pizza has several unique pies, including mashed potato, and they have a variety of vegan ingredients, such as plenty of non-dairy cheeses to choose from.

Best Mediterranean: Amar

If you’re in the mood for Mediterranean, Amar delivers. They’re located in a sit-down restaurant that combines an elegant restaurant with something a bit more rustic. From kebabs to hummus, they have it all. Also, they have a bakery as well. With Amar, you can come in and have a feast well worth remembering.

Best Mexican: Roccos Tacos

Mexican food works well on any occasion, with most restaurants providing fresh food for affordable prices. Zona Fresca is a Mexican grill with several locations across Florida. They offer quesadillas, burritos, and their special street tacos, including beer-battered fish. For dessert, they have Mexican wedding cookies, which use powdered sugar.

Best Steakhouse: Cut432

When you want a special night with your love, Cut432 delivers. This restaurant offers rib-eye steaks that cost a lot of money, but their quality is well worth it. It's also a seafood place. Their seafood offerings are excellent, including charred octopus, oysters, and a crab cocktail. No matter what you desire, Cut432 provides.
