De Vinci’s Delicatessen & Catering

Food doesn’t taste as good as the ones in stockton. Bread tasted old and was small. Porpotions are small all together. not a fan of this location. Will stick to stockton locations!

They ads tired our wedding back in 2013 and it was absolutely fantastic. The food was great at our tasting, and 10 times better day of the wedding. It’s probably one of the best cater3d meals I’ve ever had. As for the daily food you can get at the restaurant, I love it! I love their beef stroganoff and ravioli. Absolutely delicious! Their bread is fantastic, as well.

I have been going to the original DeVinci’s for years, over 35 years. (Stockton or March Lane). Years ago it was sold, and the food quality suffered a little. With this last sale/​new owners has taken it to a whole new level, and not a good one.
The pesto is so watered down, it looks more like a soup. I have never has pesto that looked and tasted so bad. We all know pesto is very easy, some basil, garlic and olive oil mixed with whatever pasta you like, a few pine nuts if you choose some Parmesan and you are good to go. There are many variations, some include cream, etc. but NONE include water. Same goes for the sauce used in the raviolis. The food served from their deli counter is very bland with watered down sauces. The Italian bread/​Focaccia isn’t any better. It is dry and again, lacking seasoning. Even the salads have changed and not for the better.
I do have to say, their catered food is slightly better.
Overall, the food suffered in the original sale, with the latest sale it has went to h*** in a hand basket.
So sad, what was once a great, neat little place to go get some good home cooked Italian food, with great service is no longer. They took something that was so simple, tried to expand and in the process sacrificed the quality.
Right now would be the time to BRING Angelina’s back to Lodi!

We choose devincis for our wedding catering, and our wedding was on 8−22−15, they were simple amazing! The food is on point, and the service is above and beyond! trevor is great, and he really makes sure everything is taken care of! Such a great company to work with! Thanks again Trevor!

Raviolis are always fantastic, but this is the first time I’ve tried the lasagna. I had to wait about 15 minutes but that was fine since it is so popular. I asked for a larger portion, and because it was so hot and fresh, the server went to get larger spatulas. I mentioned twice she could cut it up in sections. Assured she could transfer in one piece, I thought I was safe. So wrong!!! Half of the piece made it in the container and the rest stayed in the pan she was taking it from. Then she added it on top of the lasagna. Sloppy mess! Never again!

We stopped in for a quick lunch with friends. The food was really good for a reasonable price. I had the tortellini with a salad. Both were scrumptious. The salad dressing was great. Tasted homemade. My husband had the lasagna and he liked that also. Would definitely stop back in if we were in the area again.

Good service :)
Good food
Nice restaurant appeal
BUT…Very small portions! we were disappointed in the small serving of pasta, salad and bread size. Not like the other stores. :(
Will have to try another location to feel like I’m getting my money’s worth.

Great customer service and food here! Only «complaint» was a bit of tension I heard between employees. One stated «Well I have to do my job, so I’m not doing that.» People, you’re a team! Besides overhearing that, great experience.

Talk about a rude owner. Would be nice if he treated his guests kindly when they say hello instead of walk away. The food is good but it was cold. The portions have gotten smaller and the prices have gone up.

Fantastic food every time! Best lasagna ever! Don’t leave without trying the meat ravioli and foccacia bread. Very resonable prices for catering. I have heard taco Tuesday is to die for. We will be returning soon

Food was good, but I have ate at other De Vinci’s in Stockton and Manteca and it is better. The portions here are smaller and the sauce is VERY thin and runny. The cheese tortellini in Alfredo sauce was not good at all. It had no flavor and was so runny and thin, literally like water. Bread was good, but they did not offer to butter it for us like they do in Stockton and Manteca. They just handed me some butter pats.

I just love love love their chef salad and freshly made croutons and dressing! Still the best I’ve ever had!

I went in some time ago (forgot to post this when I originally wrote it) with my Unilocal deal and let them know that it was my first time there. They were not only friendly but they let me try four of the different pastas. I got the alfredo ravioli, some sort of cheesy potato thing, green beans and salad. Oh, and the bread! WOW! Even if I’d hated the food here, I would have come back for the bread. They have all the bread laid out on a counter so that you can pick the softness and colour that’s right for you.
Onto the food:
The green beans and bacon are delicious but I think a little overpriced. $ 5.99/pint. I really should have gotten a quart for the 3 – 4 people I ate with. The Alfredo ravioli were pretty good but not the best Alfredo sauce I’ve ever had. Next time I think I’ll try the regular meat ravioli.

My husband and I got married on Sept 20^th 2014 and used De Vinci’s for our catering.
I cannot say enough positive things about my experience with Trevor and his team!
Planning a wedding is expensive and stressful. De Vinici’s delivers top quality food and service at extremely reasonable pricing.
We got married at Harmony Wynelands and there were some questions about what the venue would provide and what we needed to rent (plates, glassware, etc)… Trevor was FANTASTIC at helping us navigate the rentals. He even gave us very specific questions to ask the venue. Again, I cannot stress enough how excellent the service was.
Service is all fine and dandy but what about the food… DELICIOUS! I have not lived in Lodi for nearly 10 years, I’d had De Vinci’s in the past (who Lodi hasnt?) but didn’t really know what to expect. I was blown away with how delicious all the food was. In fact, as I am typing this I am craving some meat raviolis with meat sauce. Anyway, the point is, the food is great! And we had TONS of left overs for Sunday football at grandpas the day after the wedding.
Bottom line: GREAT FOOD. EXCELLENT SERVICE. AMAZING PRICES!

De Vinci’s catered my Son & Daughter-in-law’s wedding 6÷28÷14. I’ve been going to the restaurant in Stockton since High School and the food is just as wonderful today! They were right on time and in sync throughout the evening. Many guests commented to me that they thought the wait staff were from the Venue. They were very professional, respectful and hospitable. Fantastic customer service, they went above and beyond without hesitation! It is also the 1^st wedding I’ve been to where seconds were offered and that was very much appreciated! Special Thanks to Trevor and his 3 staff members. I wished I’d gotten their names because they were truly attentive and appreciated. During such a very special time, De Vinci’s proved to be a perfect match for our Venue.

I think this is the best pasta place I’ve gotten food from in a long time. I like the homey feel of the restaurant. There were a lot of people sitting there and getting take-​out at 4:45pm. Popular Lodi place! The ravioli and cheese tortellini were tasty smothered in their homemade sauce. The bread was amazing. It’s buttery without being greasy and yet airy and fresh. I didn’t find a lot of flavor dipping my bread into the leftover sauce on the plate but add some parm and it was still a delicious hearty meal.

Affordable simple italian food.
Been ordering food from DeVinci’s locations since I was in high school (10+ years) and my college often had them cater our school events, so I’ve been lucky to get to try many of their dishes multiple times.
I like that the food actually tastes homemade and it’s ability to stay pretty consistent throughout the years. They have various options including pesto pasta, lasagnas, chicken, and soups. My favorite thing to order would have to be the veggie lasagna with some delicious focaccia bread for dipping up all the good red sauce.
The price is affordable and the service is always great.

I truly believe that a place needs to not just have amazing food but great customer service to succeed, therefore when i was contacted by trevor with a message apologizing for the experience i had at his De Vincis Restaurant i was willing to give this place another try. Trevor offered me $ 20 certificate to compensate my previous experience and encourage me to give them another try. My husband and i decided to use this offer finally and we ordered the #10 combo which comes with a pint of pasta, a salad, half bread and 4 pieces of chicken for around $ 22.99. The girl who helped us was wonderful, she didn’t have on a name tag but she was a brunette with beautiful green/​grey eyes. she was amazing, we wanted to try to pastas so she allowed us to split the 1 pint into two half pints. so we got the ravioli and tortellini.
The #9 gave us a huge amount of food for around $ 25 with tax. we ended up paying only $ 5 for all that food. Thank you trevor for the certificate.
Pros:
–AMAZING service. I was impressed but how professional and courteous everyone was. Trevor was kind enough to offer us a chance to give this place another try. Owning a business is not just about the product, it also has a lot to do with how you treat your customers and wether they have a good enough experience to come back. It does mean alot to me when a business values and pays attention to the opinion of its customers.
–The focaccia bread here is my favorite, its soft and made fresh
— I love salads with garbanzo and kidney beans so i did like the salad and their blue cheese dressing is good as well.
— tortellini was good just not amazing, but it was good, cooked perfectly with a creamy, white sauce that tasted almost buttery.
— chicken was okay, nothing amazing but it was juicy and tender. had a hint of rosemary which was nice.
Cons;
— the ravioli lacked the amount of flavor i prefer. my husband thought it was okay but it wasn’t something i really liked or would ever crave.
i would definitely come back for the bread, the tortellini and the service. 3 star for good and and an extra star for going out of the way to satisfy a customer.

I came here with my sister for lunch. Bought the Unilocal deal!
The deal is good– you can get quite a bit of food with the coupon!
I got the ravioli and chicken plate. The ravioli was okay, sort of like chef boyardee and sort of cold. I wish the food was hotter when they serve it though! But it is cafeteria style, so I get it. The chicken was pretty good though! Flavorful and not dry.
My sister got the pesto pasta and it was good. Again, it was a tad bit not as hot as I would like it to be.

For Italian food, it tasted like Chef BoyarNASTY! Sauce on the lasgna was gross, oh and thanks for giving me the burnt corner piece? Sandwich was really sad, I wouldn’t have given it to a starving child.
If I took the french roll the sandwich was made with I could have broke their front window if I threw it at it. On a positive note, Hawaiian chips were bomb — but they didn’t make them!
So if you want to be fancy and buy chips at a Deli and not a grocery store by all means do so here. I should have used my Unilocal 10 for 20 deal strictly on 20 bags of chips!
Service was great, extremely nice. I just wish the food matched the service.
