The story of Delina began during the pandemic, when its founders started self-learning how to make fresh pasta at home. What started as a personal exploration quickly grew into a full-fledged restaurant dedicated to showcasing pasta in all its forms. Today, Delina serves a wide range of pasta styles—from fresh and dry pasta to long, short, and uniquely shaped varieties—paired with recipes that range from traditional favorites to more creative interpretations.
For starters, their Truffle Honey Ricotta features house-made whipped ricotta topped with black truffle honey and generously topped with Maldon sea salt flakes. It is served with toast for a flavorful balance of creamy and savory notes.

One of the restaurant’s must-try pasta is the O.G. Carbonara, made with spaghettoni, egg yolks, guanciale, pecorino romano, grana padano, and black pepper. Prepared using traditional ingredients, the dish highlights the richness and simplicity that define authentic carbonara.
