I guess you're studying gradable and strong adjectives. "Delicious" is a strong adjective for "tasty". Typically, you use absolute adverbs (absolutely, utterly, etc) with strong adverbs, and gradable adverbs (very, really, quite) with gradable adjectives.
So yes, your choice is right. I can definitely say "absolutely tasty" sounds awkward and funny, though "very delicious" could work... but not as naturally as "absolutely delicious".

There actually is no difference! They're synonyms. However "delicious" is a little stronger than "tasty".
