Parthenope Ristorante & Pizzeria

This place is amazing!! So glad we found it. We frequent this place weekly. The food is so fresh and amazing. The chef is so talented. The servers are the sweetest people you will ever meet. They are hardworking and you feel like you’re eating in your family’s kitchen. Don’t pass this place up!! You won’t see a sign up over the restaurant -it’s on the window-yes they are open!! The grilled romaine Caesar salad is to die for، the pizza is unbelievable، the penne Ala vodka is the best I ever had، the grilled chicken and mixed veggies is one of our favorites، and the branzino specials are out of this world. Don’t pass on their desserts either-yum!! Don’t walk-run to this place. I wish I took more pics but we drove into our bowls too quickly.

We almost drove right past this place — and honestly، that would have been a huge mistake. Total hidden gem. It’s small، cozy، and feels more like a neighborhood Italian spot than a big restaurant، which we loved. The pizzas were excellent — thin، crispy crust with really fresh toppings and not overly heavy. You can tell they care about the ingredients. The homemade pasta was even better. It actually tasted fresh (not the usual restaurant pasta)، and the sauces were simple but really flavorful. We also ordered a seafood dish and were surprised by how fresh everything tasted. Nothing was overly salty or drowning in sauce — just well cooked and really satisfying. Service was friendly and relaxed، and we never felt rushed. It’s the kind of place you go expecting a casual dinner and end up talking about how good the food was the whole way home. Definitely one of those spots you want to keep to yourself، but we’ll absolutely be coming back.

Had a fantastic dining experience at Parthenope in Deerfield! The Veal Chop Milanese was perfectly prepared، crispy on the outside while remaining juicy and tender inside. The house-made lobster ravioli w shrimp was absolutely amazing، packed with flavor and skillfully made with care. For dessert، we shared the “Popcorn” gelato and it was a delicious way to end the meal. To me it had more of a vanilla butterscotch flavor - top tier. Other highlights include split pea soup and pasta e fagioli. The prices are very reasonable، the staff is welcoming and friendly. What really makes this restaurant stand out is the food itself. Every dish reflects quality ingredients، skillful preparation، and authentic flavor. You come here for truly delicious، high quality food، and Parthenope delivers on that promise.

Came here because of the reviews before the movies and what a great find! The reviews did not disappoint! Ordered the lentil soup to start but no pic because I ate it too fast:) Then، the spinach salad as well as the veal Milanese and branzino. The place is a cozy، home style restaurant with friendly service and a welcoming atmosphere. 10/10

Parthenope is a year-old trattoria/pizzeria in Deerfield named after the ancient Greek settlement that became Naples. It’s a strip-plaza location، but inside it feels intimate and elevated — dark paneling، stamped tin ceiling، white tablecloths. Definitely more full-service trattoria than casual pizza shop. The pizzas are 12-inch pies ($18–$22). They lean elevated American thin crust rather than strict Neapolitan — sturdy، balanced، and built with good ingredients like fior di latte. Clean sauce، well-structured crust. The lasagne ($26) was excellent: deeply developed beef-only ragù، just a touch of ricotta، no béchamel. Rich but controlled. A standout. Rachel ordered an off-menu eggplant parm ($28)، thick stacked style. Good sauce، nice presentation، but slightly undercooked for our taste. Pricing is above basic pizzeria level but not out of line for South Florida. Chicken Parm at $28 is competitive. Branzino at $31 is actually reasonable compared to many Boca/Delray spots charging $40+. Pastas run mid-$20s to low $30s. We ordered a pistachio ricotta cake to go ($12) that was quite small. The owner noticed and removed it from the bill without us asking، which says a lot about attentiveness. Overall: a grown-up neighborhood Italian spot with quality ingredients، a thoughtful menu that blends Southern Italian dishes with Italian-American classics، and ownership that clearly cares.
