Parthenope Ristorante & Pizzeria Napoletana — Restaurant in Deerfield Beach

July 2025, met friends here for an early dinner. The place is in a small strip mall with plenty of parking. Louise the owner was very personable and took great care of our table. We arrived before 6pm and got the Special - 2 meals for one price. Plus the House wine was $6. I can’t understand how they do it. But I am not complaining because the food and service was wonderful. The place was kind of empty on a Friday, but then again in Fla it is not the busy season. I ordered the Paccheri al Ragu - $32 Short Rib Over San Marzano Tomato Topped with homemade ricotta that was delicious, but for the price they could have given me a little more pasta and Short Ribs (this was not on the Special menu). My friend ordered the 2 for one special Chicken Parmigiana that she said was delicious and they gave her a big portion size. My other friend ordered the Calamari & Shrimp with zucchini with spicy marinara sauce, and this dish was also delicious. Honestly, I can’t complain about the restaurant and we would definitely come back here during the week for the Special. I just hope they stay in business because Louise and her husband who is the Chef are wonderful people. We will definitely spread the word around about this restaurant and look forward to coming back here...

Last evening, we were looking for a new restaurant close to the Paragon theater in Deerfield. Based on recommendations from this group, we gave Parthenope of Deerfield Beach a try. It did not disappoint! It's really a hidden local gem!

Upon arrival, we were greeted and seated. We had a 6:30 PM reservation, and although the restaurant was empty when we arrived, it was packed by 7 PM.

The food was amazing. The special stuffed mushroom appetizer, pictured, was stuffed with sausage, cheese, garlic, and broccoli rabe. The Chicken Parmagania and Branzino were perfectly cooked and seasoned.

The menu is well-priced, and the service was friendly and efficient. They do not gave a bar just beer and wine. I had a glass of pinot grigio. It was a generous pour for just $10.

We'll definitely be going back. We definitely recommend giving this restaurant a try!

1125 South Military...

This one hits all the notes & is close to home...PARTHENHOPE in Deerfield Beach (10th/Military), family owned & operated, authentic, Italian dishes. At the recommendations of many friends, we decided on this spot for our usual Friday night casually impromptu meals. Arrived 6pm to a steady stream of customers & takeout orders in this intimate & charming trattoria. Luisa & her daughter warmly greeted us & introduced themselves and their menu. Anytime we see Grilled Caesar salad, it's a must and it was smokin' delicious. I make short ribs at home, and respect the time, love & prep that goes into that plate...so that was my jam and Jeff had the chicken milanese. Both were crave-satisfying & worthy, cut with a fork, tasty, leaving you wanting more. We were so impressed its gonna be on our Friday night rotation. Mom & Pop, small businesses need support,...
