About Dalmata
Dalmata is a casual Italian option in Rehoboth Beach with a clear dinner focus. The most useful details are direct: the restaurant is priced at $$, the dress code is casual, and the signature items are Roman-style pizza and handmade pasta with pesto. That makes it a fit for relaxed Italian food rather than a formal dining plan.
The strongest reason to go is focus. Roman-style pizza gives Dalmata a specific Italian lane, and the handmade pasta with pesto adds a second confirmed dish to build a meal around. Current hours are Sunday, Monday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 4:30 PM to 10:00 PM, with Tuesday and Wednesday closed.
Roman-style pizza is the reason to return, with pasta as the second order
The clearest order starts with Roman-style pizza. If the table wants a fuller Italian dinner, add the handmade pasta with pesto. Those are the confirmed signature dishes, and they are enough to set expectations without assuming a broader menu or service style.
At a $$ price tier, Dalmata is best understood as a casual dinner choice in Rehoboth Beach. The dress code is casual, so the right expectation is an easy Italian meal centered on pizza and pasta, not a dressed-up or tasting-menu-style occasion.
Use it for easy Italian nights, not trophy dining
The recommendation is simple: choose Dalmata when Roman-style pizza, handmade pasta with pesto, and a casual Italian dinner are the point of the night.
Current dinner hours cover Sunday, Monday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 4:30 PM to 10:00 PM, with Tuesday and Wednesday closed. Dress casual and plan around the open evening schedule.
For broader planning around the area, compare Dalmata with other Rehoboth Beach dining options generically, then plan the rest of the evening around the city if dinner is part of a longer trip.
