“ Great Italian food. Nice ambiance. Don't expect cheap Italian, it's similar in prices to bigger cities but they match the quality. Friendly service, organized. Probably the best service I've seen on a while. ”

“ I really enjoyed the salad bar, which was unique and Italian themed, the shrimp dish was excellent and I believe it was called the Cajun Alfredo. Very nice atmosphere and definitely good for a date night. ”

“ It's worth the drive to Delevan to eat at Bashar's. The ambiance is cozy. The food and service were first-rate. I recommend the fried green tomatoes, the Monte Cristo sliders, and tiramisu. Even the french fries were seasoned and delicious! Get to Delevan and enjoy this flavorful cuisine served in a friendly, small-town way. Highly recommended! ”

“ I went back to my home town for a visit. This is a very small town and not much going on . This is a new restaurant that just recently opened up . My friend and I ate out on the patio which was small but very nice. I had the veal pasta scallopini . It was good but the veal was alittle chewy. I believe it should of been pounded out thinner which would of made it more tender .I have had veal many times and the veal is always thinner and tender. Other then that the favor was good . My friend had the smothered chicken and she really liked it . I hope the restaurant does well S the town needs a nice place to enjoy a meal ”

“ Walk in the door and it smells Italian. we got Bruschetta and fresh baked bread. ordered Traditional Lasagna, Beef Stroganof and Chicken Parmigiana and all were large portion and delicious. Very clean and friendly staff. Will return and try other option, could not decide everything sounded so good. Short trip to Delavan was definitely worth it. ”

“ EVERYTHING was Magnifico! At the moment we walked in, we were greeted like old friends. We had shrimp fettuccine and Veal Saltimbocca and Pappardelle & Meatballs and chicken tenders and fries! You must drive to Downtown Delavan and be prepared to be amazed with the taste! The bread was delicious too! The restrooms were very clean! Extremely prompt and courteous and they kept checking back to make sure our drinks were filled and made sure we had enough bread! ”
