Intro
Dēliz was born from a love of bold flavors and that dolce vita state of mind — where Italian passion meets Chicago nights.
1–
Italian at the Core

Handmade pasta, seasonal ingredients, and wood-fired steaks anchor the menu — rich, unapologetic, and meant to be shared. This isn’t precious dining; it’s Italian food made for people who want to eat well and laugh louder.

2–
A Social State of Mind

The room hums with cocktails in hand, music that lingers, and a bar that doesn’t quiet down until you do. Dēliz isn’t just where you eat — it’s where the night finds its rhythm.

The

Press

Chicago press is already taking notice. From the live-fire kitchen to the steak-forward menu, we are being recognized for doing Italian differently, grounded in technique, sourcing, and restraint.

Rather than telling the story ourselves, we'll let you read it.

"Does Chicago need another steakhouse? We seem to ask that every week, but Dēliz won us over fast. This Bucktown spot is all about great pastas, steaks, and flirty low lighting perfect for a night that ends with “Let’s make this official."

"Dēliz Italian is as much a visual experience as it is a culinary one. Taking over the former Etta space in Bucktown, the restaurant features rich, elegant décor with plush velvet banquettes, warm wood tables, and dramatically fringed red pendant lighting, setting the mood for romantic nights out."

"Dēliz, the newest addition to Bucktown’s culinary scene, offers a sophisticated yet approachable Italian steakhouse experience. Led by restaurateur Steve Gogolab and chef/partner Jake Peterson, the two-level space invites guests to enjoy wood-fired cooking, premium Midwest steaks and rare Australian Wagyu..."

"Italian newcomer Dēliz joined Chicago’s crowded steakhouse scene this fall, taking over the former home of Etta in Bucktown. The two-story restaurant offers premium steaks cooked on custom Argentinian-style grills, alongside pastas, a chilled seafood selection, and caviar service."
