“I used Johnny Paisano’s to cater a holiday party. I had an amazing experience from the very beginning. I spoke with Christine who helped me place the order, and helped me to decide the best options for my menu. One of my options was a prime rib, where I received a phone call from Johnny himself to help me figure out the best way to prepare it for the party. When it was time to retrieve the food on the day of the party, everyone I dealt with was friendly and helpful. Johnny once again came out and was talking with me about the food. I appreciate this aspect of a business, it makes you feel like you’re in a friendly environment, rather than a sterile kitchen. The food quality was amazing. Every platter was delicious, and every guest was happy with how the food turned out. The prime rib was the largest hit, not surprisingly. I couldn’t believe the value of everything as well. Please use Johnny Paisano’s for your next event, they will not disappoint at all, and will go above and beyond to make sure all your needs are met!“

They were able to accommodate me and worked like crazy to get it done. The cake I ordered was superb!!! If it had not been for the kindness of this store today, I don’t know what I would have done. The cashier, God Bless you. You went above and beyond to fix my mistake. Love you all!!!“

“We found this gem of an Italian deli in Ridley Park, less than a mile off the Delaware Expressway.

My husband ordered the “Old World”, a fresh baked roll piled high with meats, cheeses, and Italian spices. I had a sandwich with lightly breaded chicken breast, fresh Mozzarella and roasted red peppers. And yes, it really was that good.

They’re the nicest people. We’ll certainly stop there again, and you should too. You can thank us later.“

“What a treat to get fresh ravioli! And a bonus! They have pistachio gelato. I love the tin ceiling and ambiance. Looks like a place where neighbors come together to enjoy a morning espresso, and get their sandwich or fresh pasta. Friendly service.“

“Spasso is an excellent brunch destination; it truly never disappoints! 🍳 🥂“

“Order anything with the garlic bread and amp up your gastronomic experience to epic proportions. Lauren has that way of scanning the bar/restaurant for a refill, making sure everything is cool, or the check. It’s not loud so you can converse with friends-and new friends! Community vibe. Oh, and did I mention the garlic bread?“

“Duck leg and beignets were excellent. Flavor and textures were amazing. Strip steak was perfectly cooked. Radiatori was flavorful and brisket was so tender and perfectly executed. Beautiful experience start to finish. I'm from Virginia and was in town for a show. Would definitely try to find another reason to come back to DE just to dine here. Stellar service at the bar.“

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

“My husband and i enjoy eating at this fine Italian restaurant together, with family and friends. The restaurant is clean, bright and the staff at this family owned business is very friendly and professional. The menu includes seafood, chicken. Pasta, veal and steak. The appetizers, salads and home made soups are impressive as are the daily specials. My husband has celiac disease and they are very accommodating. The pricing is in line with similar establishments and it is a BYOB witn NO corking fée. We simply love it !!!❤️“

“I heard about this place from a friend, and couldn't wait to try it out. It did not disappoint ! Was great, from the food flavors, to the service on through the environment. Upbeat, fresh and vibrant is the best way to describe the vibe. We look forward to coming again !“

“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“

“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!“

“Best gnocchi in a rosa sauce! Easy online ordering and super friendly staff.“

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

“Today, I put in a delivery order via one of those food delivery services. As it turns out, the restaurant gave the wrong order to the delivery service, and couldn't get ahold of the driver.\n\nThey called me right after the driver left to let me know that there was an issue and they were trying to get ahold of him, and then they called again a couple minutes later to say that they couldn't reach him.\n\nThey told me I could keep the incorrect order where it arrived, and also the manager headed over to deliver the correct order herself (arriving just moments after the original driver).\n\nI was very impressed with the customer service, especially considering we had actually ordered via a third party service.\n\nBest pizza around. Fantastic customer service. Definitely 5 stars.“

“Update: We have lived here nearly a year and this is still our go-to place. My oldest daughter is now vegan and they custom make her vegan breadsticks. Love these guys! We order from here usually once per week. Their plain pizza is classic. I think they put cinnamon in their crust—there is something special. It’s the only pizza that all of my kids like. Win! Oh, and the guy that answers the phone and does the register is always so nice! Highly recommend!“

“Always a great time. Food is fresh and delicious every time !!“

“Food was absolutely delicious ? & Rosemary our waitress very nice and helpful. My honey took me here for a date. We love to experience new spots and I love byob“
