50 Best Italian Restaurants near Claymont

“Place is better then your regular Primos! They really seem to all Care and seem like they put heart into each hoagie!“

“Our server, Katiey was pleasant and took care of all of our needs. We had the rigatoni abruzzi and it was excellent along with the delicious bread. Even had enough to take home for next day. Highly recommend!“

“Food was excellent. What’s a good Italian restaurant without good Italian bread? None was offered to enjoy the juices that remained on the bottom of our dish. It is also unfortunate that wine could not be enjoyed with our meal, a neighborhood thing we were told. If coming during a cold winter night don’t forget to dress extra warm, a warm cozy atmosphere wasn’t present…..but our food was the best I have had in Wilmington.“

“Tonight my husband and I celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary by ordering catering from Italian Kitchen. They were our wedding caterers and we absolutely loved the food! Our favorite dish from our wedding was the mushroom ravioli and we thought it would be great to have that for dinner tonight to celebrate. When I went on the website, there wasn’t mushroom ravioli on the menu so I was worried they didn’t have it anymore. I called and the staff said they’d ask their boss if they could make it and turns out they could make it for us! We got a whole tray! My husband and I were so happy and it tasted just like it tasted two years ago! So good!!! Thank you, Italian Kitchen staff and owners for making my anniversary special and delicious!!!! 💕“

“Went to Maria's by Di Paolo's for music and dinner show. The food and service were good. The venue is too small for a live band. The acoustics are terrible. It's wedding seating, large round tables, assigned by restaurant.“

“have been going here for twenty years never had a bad sandwich or a bad interaction with anyone working for them. I have been home bound and on oxygen for three years now and the kindness the staff has shown when I call to order or the regular two drivers who always take the time to make sure I get my delivery knowing it takes me few minutes to make it to the door is nothing short of amazing. I had a concern today with my delivery and they as usual said will be handled. thanks for always putting your customers first thanks Merle McClintock“

“just love the place my favorite restaurant love the food the atmosphere friendly staff can’t say enough about it“

“Hands down AMAZING!!! Deserves 10 stars everything was sooooooo good!!! Haven't had food that good in so long.“

“Service and food were absolutely amazing! I can't wait to go back!“

“My great grandfather used to get this ravioli for family dinners, and where he got it was his secret. He finally told my grandma where he got it when he was dying, so we’ve been lucky enough to keep having this ravioli. I hadn’t had it in years but just got a couple of packs on a trip and brought it cross-country. I was surprised to find that it was just as good as I remembered! Best ravioli anywhere!“

“Not only is the food delicious, but the customer service is truly top-notch. When it came to a minor confusion with an order, the staff, more specifically the owner, Susan, went absolutely above and beyond in resolving the matter. Rocco's continues to be our favorite restaurant when the Italian-cravings hit and would recommend anyone and everyone to experience this local gem for themselves.“

“Great family! Great food! The best homemade gnocchi you will ever have. Cacio e Pepe is phenomenal. We also had the side of meatballs and gnocchi in red sauce. This is our second time ordering. Give them a try, you will thank me. This was my birthday meal! Mangia!“

“I love to get their chicken Parmesan and mozzarella sticks from here. The staff is great. The restaurant is clean as a whistle. The people are clean. I don’t know what more you could ask for. It’s great A+ good job guys and their salad dressing that they make there is the best, kind of vinaigrette, but it’s very very good. It’s a must have.“

“Amazing food for both dinner & catering events. The antipasta tray is unreal and so delicious!!“

“First and foremost yes it’s inside of what seems to be a dieing mall. But to get to the point there is basically more food spots in the mall then actual interesting stores in my opinion so I went there to eat because I hadn’t had food yet. With that being said I kept walking almost to the end of the mall by where sears was and there it was. I have to say the place is great from service to food everything was amazing! If I was more local I would definitely stop in often. Our server was super friendly and outgoing she had no issue getting us anything that was needed she even took a soup back that I didn’t like without any hesitation or attitude that most other places would not do. The food was great the place was clean bar options were great like I said I have not 1 complaint . Picture was from the complimentary bread they give , and a special of the lobster/crab and shrimp ravioli . We also got the chicken parm sandwich so cheesy and the special steak which was pretty loaded! Crinkle cut fries with cheese were also great! Unfortunately didn’t take pics of the other stuff but if you like Italian food do not hesistate to stop by!!!“

“I love everything I ordered. I highly recommend Cafe Sitaly. Even when I have to wait, it's worth my time. It's Delicious 😋🤤“

“Went on a Friday night! Did have children with us but would definitely recommend for adults as well lol!!Food was outstanding. Different n delicious was THE Romana alla Griglia which was Grilled Romaine hearts topped with caramelized onion, goat cheese, and crispy pancetta dressed with balsamic vinaigrette!! A must try for something different to start your meal!! Soups entrees just delicious!!“

“The service, food and drinks are always on point. The have a wonderful for private room for events.“

“I had the best time at my surprise birthday dinner at Fellini. The food was amazing, as always, the service was quick, the staff was friendly and accommodating and the atmosphere was great!“

“We have been to La Fia multiple times and the food and service never disappoint. Main dishes, gnocchi and branzino were excellent. Service was superb and we had no problem making it to our show even they were extremely busy. Food is a great value given the quality and portion sizes.“

“Your food was excellent when we got married 6/9/10 and we had a wonderful lunch there today as well for our ten year anniversary. Everything was great!“

“Always Delicious“

“First time back since last months fiasco. Today was a 100% improvement. We had Will today and he made it an enjoyable experience. Salad was fresh and entrees were great. Thank you Will for restoring our faith. Even had dessert.“

“We visited last night. We were greeted right away. The service was so good. I had Shells Aurora. Simply amazing. Pasta and chicken was cooked perfectly. My boyfriend didn't see chicken marsala on the menu. only chicken parmesan.He asked and they made him the chicken marsala. So good too. We ordered wine. I had the Cabernet and he had the Pino Noir .Both wines were rich and savory. Very tasty. The floor manager even came up to make sure we were happy. That was very nice. we received the check and the server boxed up our food for us. The check really was not expensive. I paid and gave a 25% tip. I normally don't care either way with itailian resteraunts but this place was so nice. Rustic and warm atmosphere, pleasant staff, and amazing food. Will visit again for sure.“

“Five of us had lunch at Cafe Verdi today. I only wish we had discovered it sooner! Between us we had four different pasta dishes and 1 salmon burger. Everything was excellent- fresh, nicely presented, and delicious! The family restaurant feel, the lovely music, and the people on staff made for a most enjoyable and memorable afternoon! We will definitely return- thank you, Sylvio!“

“HIGHLY RECOMMEND: 2 large pizzas for $23.99. That is an astronomically good deal. They offer that everyday. I would NOT recommend the “specialty” pizzas that come out to $22.99 a pop. With these kinds of pizza places it’s always about the calories per dollar. The staff here is fun and is down to chat when they have time. Kevin, Paul, Rob, and Mickey are all really cool staff and are when they have down-time they love to crack jokes to make your day. This place is split into a takeout spot and a dine-in spot. I went with the takeout although the dine-in looks like a chill Italian restaurant to bring your grandparents.“
