Dalicia Ristorante and Bakery

Stopped in the bakery recently to check this place out. Most desserts were absolutely delicious. One was hard and very stale. For $4 a piece, I would have expected edible. It was clearly not fresh. Employee that served us at the counter was kind and patient as my children decided what they wanted to order.

Delicious, creative food in pleasant environment. My husband noticed this new place yesterday in downtown Mechanicsburg. We love Mediterranean food and have been getting takeout every week from local restaurants every week to help them stay afloat (and to enjoy a break from cooking!) so decided to try it last night. We loved it and will return repeatedly, based on our happy experience. Good COVID compliance, friendly staff, decent ambiance. Everything was included in our well-packaged takeout order. We're hoping for outdoor seating when the weather warms up.nnI had the cevapi 5-sausage with house salad. The little sausages were tasty and went well with the tender lepina (flatbread); it paired well with a house salad that came with delicious vinaigrette. (I looked up the Bosnian food terms to know what to expect). The ajvar (red pepper eggplant sauce) was delicious, worth getting this dish again for the flavor. There was also a white creamy sauce similar to tzatziki. Yum. There's a 10-sausage option, too for hungrier appetites.nnHusband had chicken snitzle (much like German schnitzel, a breaded and pan fried chicken cutlet) with Swiss chard potatoes (hearty) and risotto (creamy, decadent). 1 child had tomato basil sandwich with chips on the side (just as described in menu and tasty even though she doesn't like avocado). Other child had chicken adana kebab with fries and salad. The kebab is not chunks but seemed to be seasoned ground chicken formed into a patty on a stick. Tasty and a bit spicy. Fries were good, too.nnWe didn't try any of the lovely bakery items but took photos of their amazing display for future reference. I see a number of other items I'd like to try. I'm really glad for this strong addition to Mechanicsburg's growing downtown food options!
