DeLukas Restaurant & Bar

We had a fantastic time at DeLukas with my family! The extensive menu made it easy for everyone to find something they enjoyed. The attentive and friendly staff added to the welcoming atmosphere of this family-run business. The wide selection of wine and cocktails was a pleasant surprise, and the espresso martini was a delightful treat to end the meal on a high note. DeLukas is definitely a must-visit for a memorable dining experience!

Everything about this place was incredible! The atmosphere, the staff, the food! I did not expect to receive such an outstanding experience. Ned had such a delightful personality I really did make my wife and I feel like family

This restaurant was amazing. We tried the oysters, the pork shank and the lamb... and it was all delicious. The bread is to die for and the staff was also phenomenal. They checked on us pretty often and the service was great!

We celebrated my 58th birthday here tonight. I was so impressed with our service, the food and portions . Our waiter was a true delight. We will definitely go back and soon!

Incredible food! I ate here a few times now and never be disappointed! They serve you bread to start with and it melt in your mouth. The staff is also super polite, definitely coming back!

LOVED this restaurant!!! From the moment you drive in the vibe is cool, upscale, and romantic all at the same time. The staff is equally cool, hospitable, inviting and the decor is so charming and different. It's a Croatian restaurant with clear Mediterranean influences. It's also family run, so you can almost taste the love! Try to get seated in a booth. Very different. You'll feel like royalty or like you're in Europe. And the food? OMG savory and a delight to the palate, plus the ginormous portion size and presentatio (see pics) make it an exceptional value. Don't think twice about coming here despite the surrounding area. It's a hidden treasure and a unique restaurant experience unlike any I've ever had. You'll love it!

Such a beautiful and delicious restaurant!! The cevapi was on point and the stuffed cabbage (Sarma) was amazing! The Owner is super nice and friendly! Much recommended if you’re craving some Balkan food.

This restaurant not only has beautiful interior decor, but the hearts of the owners and servers are also filled with beauty. My husband made a reservation for my birthday and they made it extra special by decorating the table and writing me a thoughtful card. It was so sweet, I thought I was dreaming, like this must be too good to be true. Then came the warm starter bread with the homemade kajmak cheese and our hearts melted. It was so delicious. We order the stuffed cabbage (sarma) and lamb shank and it was all so fresh, rich, vibrant, and authentic. Our culture was written all over this restaurant—from the decorations, to the dish ware, to those who served us and checked on us often*, every few minutes to make sure we were enjoying ourselves and didn’t need anything else. True Balkan hospitality. This place made my birthday feel extra special, and it was a literal taste of home. I was tearing up when we left because of how much we enjoyed the experience. It also had soooo many options on the menu! Great for Americans who aren’t ready to diversify their palette, with plenty of amazing cultural Balkan staples if you’re feeling adventurous! We cannot wait to come back! 1000/10 ❤🌷

First time here. Walking in, we were welcomed by a beautiful , and warm ambiance. We were welcomed and seated immediately. The restaurant staff and our waiter were very friendly. The food was amazing and delicious. I would highly recommend to anybody visiting this area.

WOW! What a hidden Gem located in Clearwater. DeLukas is an absolute must! The atmosphere, service and food are equally impeccable. DeLukas is such a phenomenal date night spot. I am excited to try their lunch menu also as it is diverse and looks incredible. We asked Ned, our server, for his personal recommendations and we were amazed at how much he lit up talking about the menu and what he loved about it. We ordered based off of his recommendations and he was absolutely spot on! Everything was exactly how he said but even better than we imagined! For reference, we frequent Berns and E&E Stakeout and thought every dish was on par for their quality and style. Do not sleep on this wonderful gem of a restaurant! We plan on frequenting DeLukas very, very often!

Simply phenomenal! Great mix of Balkan foods with American/local options. High quality at reasonable prices. The staff and the owner were wonderful and hospitable.

Amazing place! I've been here a couple times with my friends and family. We loved everything we got here. Best cevapi here - you can taste that they are home made. The pork shank was so tender it fell off the bone. My husband enjoyed his steak and shrimp. I loved the goulash - also so tender and tastes like home. Not pictured (because eaten before I could even take a photo) veal schnitzel with the mushrooms sauce was so good & I don't usually even like veal or mushrooms. The plain crepe and coffee for desert were also amazing. This isn't your typical corporate style restaurant - this is a family owned, authentic, cozy place. Seriously not a single thing that wasn't delicious. The owners are amazing people and you can tell they put their whole heart into the place. Very friendly, great customer service and nice atmosphere! Will be back and defintely recommend to others.

I recently dinned in with my family and we had the best experience!
We got the chance to meet the owners, the husband was our host and seated us!
There was light jazz music playing which made for a calming atmosphere.
We ordered the veal schnitzel, pork shank, and Chilean seabass.
The food was beyond what our expectations were, we will definitely be back!

My wife and I were in the area and searched in Google for Balkan food, and this restaurant showed up and decided to give it a try. The service was above and beyond excellent, with attention to detail. The food was absolutely delicious. Everything was good to deserve five plus stars. We will come back this time with friends.

Amazing! We wanted to try something new and this was everything we hoped for! Fabulous food, the owner is so friendly and attentive! We will definitely be back. Wonderful!!

Everything from the atmosphere, service and food was amazing! Here to celebrate my husband’s birthday and we were treated to a Croatian after dinner drink which was lovely.
Huge portions of exquisitely prepared food make this a wonderful dining experience.

This place is the best in the entire area. The bread is worth $1 per each piece it’s handmade and it’s worth it. Best rolls I’ve ever had. The pork shank was unbelievable. The stuffed salmon was very good and the fettuccine Alfredo was fairly good. The atmosphere is excellent and the service was top notch. They clearly care about making sure ther customers are happy. Highly recommend we will return

This was our first time here and it was such a pleasant surprise! Our friends who live up the street brought us here. Wow...what a hidden gem! Food was delicious! It's not your typical American menu. The prices were also very reasonable. And the service was fantastic - very friendly and service minded family atmosphere. I will definitely come back when we're in town. You can't go wrong. I highly recommend you give them a try.

Thank you so much! The ribeye steak was delicious! The overall atmosphere was amazing! Thank you for the coziest night we had in Clearwater.

We can’t say enough good things about this restaurant. From the moment we walked in, we’ve been treated like family, and we have been loyal customers ever since. This review has been a long time coming, but after an exceptional Valentine’s Day dinner, I had to make it a priority. The restaurant itself is beautiful, tastefully decorated, and incredibly romantic. It’s perfect for any special occasion (they host special events, too), and the team goes out of their way to make it an experience you’ll never forget. The food is incredible with homemade pastas, Mediterranean favorites, and Croatian specialities, all thoughtfully created with that signature DeLukas style and generous portions to boot. If you haven’t tried this restaurant, you’ll be asking yourself why after just a few moments inside its welcoming doors. Thank you, DeLukas, for making every visit so memorable — especially on those special occasions that mean so much!!!!!
