“Casual outing for a birthday dinner. The staff greeted us right when we walked in and we were seated. The lovely Serene was our server. We received our food quickly. Everything was hot and fresh and the rolls kept coming ? Please enjoy this photo of my mini cannoli.“
“Sovana Bistro is a great venue for a small party. I was there years ago for a bridal shower and recently for a baby shower. The private room we were in was comfortable and bright even on a rainy day. Guests were seated at long tables, and food was on a buffet table.“
“La Fia always delivers. The menu is season and each dish is always an amazing combination of flavors and texture. Get any of their pasta dishes, for years they are packed with such inventive flavors and the pasta is expertly cooked al dente. The duck confit has been on the menu for years and we never tire of it. Same for the octopus. La Fia has been our favorite restaurant for years.“

“Just made our first visit to Scalessa's. Been wanting to try it for a while and it didn't disappoint! Such a great little spot! The food was amazing, portions were large, prices were reasonable, and they even had vegetarian options (like eggplant "meatballs"). The service was also absolutely terrific. The entire staff was attentive and accommodating. They clearly take pride in their restaurant and care about the customer experience, which is definitely nowhere near a given in my experience dining out around here. We will definitely be back!Vegetarian options: Try the eggplant "meatballs"!“
“Had Easter Dinner and it was perfection! Matt was our waiter and he was on the ball! Food was so good… appetizers of cockles, burrata toasts, goat cheese salad and calamari were enjoyed by all 7 of us. We had the Corvina special… yum!…short ribs, lamb shank, pasta dishes, and all were amazing and well executed. Desserts were enjoyed also. Can’t wait to come back. Thanks for your genuine hospitality and great food!“
“Appetizers were good! Drinks were good, but their meat was okay. It was very chewy and I wouldn’t recommend it. It was very dry and overcooked. The rest of the food good. Only main course disappointed a lot. I expect their steak would be tender.“
“The restaurant is near a corporate center and has a large parking lot. The main room where we sat was very noisy. The server was excellent and the food was delicious. My husband had the lasagna and I had the acorn agnolotti. Amazing Italian bread too. And they have a little market onsite filled with items to purchase. I would definitely recommend and return.“
“The buffet is great and food good. The buffet is on Thursday they have king crab legs. They are fat and juicy. Go and take your family. No kids it’s more adults there. Great for couples.Parking: Be there at least 30 mins before your reservation.“
“It’s been a few years since we’ve been to the restaurant. I appreciate it back then and I appreciate it now, but I’ll be a little more critical. The prices were good. The meals were good. The special many of us had today was a swordfish and it was very good, but I will tell you like many restaurants the risotto was not al dente so I’m very glad I didn’t order the risotto entrée. The seafood tagliatelle was probably the best meal out of everything. It had the most flavor and the sauce really clung to the pasta. The lemon cello at the end was a very nice touch, but it was a vodka lime-cello which was fine. We felt rushed. The entrees came out right after we finished the apps. The shrimp Fra Diavlo was not spicy at all. The calamari was excellent. The polenta as an app was good and I liked the char but for many that may be much.“
“So I just found this jewel. I will go back but with more people. Being from NY i know great food and atmosphere and this place Tops the list. The music was not loud and all the staff was great. But I will enjoy the rooftop in the spring.Parking: Park on the street before 7pm and you will get a spot“
“I had dinner for the second time and it was just as good as the first time. Emma was our waitress and she was so sweet and attentive. Three of us split the calamari appetizer, had drinks, dinners and desserts. All of us were happy with our choices.“
“This place is wonderful m. The food is really good and the service was amazing. We were here on a Saturday and every table was booked. We luckily made a reservation (make a reservation!!!). We had the lasagna (it was ok), the gnocchi (amazing) and fettuccini (really good). As an fyi they don’t do the Alfredo pasta table side on the weekends. This place is also a BYOB. We definitely will be back.“
“Italian Kitchen where can I say so far you are the only one I gave every last star to simply because the food is good the atmosphere is good you guys are good you care about your customers you're polite you know you just go beyond you know so for that I thank you every chance I get a run coming down your way I holler oh my God the Italian Kitchen I'm heading over there sometimes you'll see me more than two or three times before my shift is over you are totally worth stopping in for and once again I thank you guys for being you Italian kitchen must stop in inParking: If anybody is any area of the Italian Kitchen I would strongly suggest stop ATM machine and pop in there will be happy you walked in the door they will take care of youWheelchair accessibility: This place is wheelchair accessible“
“Wilmington's Trolley Square has long been a haven for delicious discoveries, but Gaudiello's Italian Hoagies takes the crown for their porchetta sub. This isn't just a sandwich; it's a symphony of textures and flavors, a testament to the art of Italian charcuterie.The star, of course, is the porchetta. The impossibly crisp skin yields to layers of juicy, herb-infused pork. Each bite is a concerto of savory richness, the perfect harmony of fat and lean. Gaudiello's doesn't drown this masterpiece in unnecessary embellishments. A touch of garlicky broccoli rabe adds a delightful bitterness, while sharp provolone cheese cuts through the richness. A hint of peppery seasoning pulls everything together, leaving you wanting more.The bread, a perfect balance of crusty and yielding, deserves its own applause. It cradles the fillings without crumbling, providing the ideal platform for each mouthful. Every element sings in perfect pitch, resulting in a chorus of pure satisfaction.Gaudiello's porchetta sub isn't just lunch; it's an experience. It's a love letter to slow roasting, a celebration of artisanal ingredients. In a world of over-stuffed monstrosities, this sub is a masterclass in balance and restraint. If you find yourself in Wilmington, don't miss this operatic masterpiece. Just be prepared to stand in ovation – this porchetta will have you applauding with every delicious bite.“
“The good: The food was delicious. The Caesar salad was excellent. On the weekend the brother that doesn't own the restaurant makes the Caesar salad now. He told us about how he learned to make it from his father. I really enjoyed hearing the story and watching him make it up close. It made up for the slow service. The bad: The service was extremely slow. It took 30+ minutes to get our drinks ordered and served and our orders taken. They did bring out the complimentary appetizer before that but it would have been great to have at least my drink order filled. This was a birthday celebration that I did notate on the reservation. Had 2 of my friends not been there with us we probably would have left because sitting for 30 mins with no acknowledgment is really pretty unacceptable. I understand being busy and short staffed but I did very politely mention to the hostess prior to that no one had waited on us. She came over and said oh you have the complimentary appetizer and said they are very busy. She should have at least taken our drink orders. Also my partner ordered the surf and turf. Online it says filet and lobster. He got filet and crab cake. He did not say anything because we had waited so long to get orders placed and to get the food. The steak was cooked exactly as he asked but a crab cake is not the same as lobster. And had he known this he wouldn't have ordered the crab cake appetizer. The waitress was also very nervous acting. She was super nice and sort of attentive just nervous and slow. We gave her a 22% tip but she would have gotten 30% had she done a better job. Overall it was a nice evening but with annoyances that I hope the restaurant sees and understands isn't acceptable especially when a reservation is notated as a birthday celebration. I will be back but not for any type of celebration with friends.“
“Absolutely some of the best tasting and closest to homemade Italian food I’ve had yet. Absolutely perfect to dine in or order out, my old Italian Nonna loves to order from here when she doesn’t feel like cooking. Love this place so much, the interior and atmosphere is amazing and the food is even better. I always get the ravioli and it’s delicious every time. Parking isn’t ideal, then again that is not the restaurant’s fault. Wish I could go here more often, definitely a favorite spot.“
“Catered a small family party for 20 people on March 3, 2024 and the food, as always was delicious. But I almost made a huge blunder, because I did not remember that Tony's is closed on Sunday. Dhara, the wonderful young woman, who took our order, volunteered to come into work that morning to help us out. I arrived at 11 am and everything was piping hot and ready for us. I can't thank her enough for doing this! Don Peloso“
“Our server Zoe was great, she was friendly and patient while we decided, because everything on the menu sounded good and we couldn't choose! The food was excellent, highly recommend trying the zucchini fries for a starter. We did not have to wait for a table and were seated and attended to quickly despite it starting to get busier. We will be back.“
“I was impressed with this restaurant before even trying it out! When I looked this place up, just the pictures alone blew me away!So, when I actually went to see if it met up to my expectations, it surpassed them ? I now love this restaurant!“
“I really like this placeOne of the most tasteful cheesesteaks in my lifeIf you like spicy one - recommending Chipotle cheesesteak and buffalo cheesesteakAlso I like there chilliMozzarella sticks little bit plainAlso I like there prices thereVery good food and service according to the prices“
“I am writing this review in hopes of receiving a response.My husband and I call in regularly to collect our favorite dishes, which is the beef lasagna and the lobster mac and cheese. The staff are friendly and helpful and the atmosphere pleasant. We think it is important to support the local economy and Toscana's has served the local community successfully for many years.There is one point of constructive feedback that we would like to offer. As a take-out item, the gelato I believe is not served authentically. Toscana's appears to be serving gelato as if it is the same as ice cream. An ice cream scooper is being used instead of a specific gelato utensil. This impacts the serving amount and the way it is presented.“
“I am Holly's husband we went to Pastabilities on Saturday night with our son and his fiancee. Everything we ate was on point! From the appetizers, entrees to desert! We found the service to be excellent, Otis was our waiter and he couldn't have been more friendly or professional. Everything we ordered was freshly made and delicious. We will definitely be back Luigi serves some of the best Italian food I ever ate since my Grandmothers cooking!“
“We hosted a rehearsal dinner for 30!!! Spectacular coordination with Tim. Good servers were efficient and attentive. The delicious food from bruschetta, Caesar salad, pasta entrees and cannolis had our guests raving. Thank you so much!!! You helped us kickoff the wedding weekend for Thomas and Julia with a smile, a beaming heart and Full belly!! Molly and Joseph Oresik Reeders, PA“
“Their food is great but they don't accept ENT benefits and it's not fair to Americans on public assistance who don't extra money for food especially homeless people on Snap who only have these places to eat at they need to catch up with the rest of the country !“
“We ordered by door dash. It wasn't quick but that was fine. We had pizza and wings. Big pizza nice amount of cheese and toppings. The wings had a lot of sauce and were crunchy. Could have been meatier. Lots of leftovers! Will order again.“
“Wonderful drinks and dinner at Portobellos Kenneth Square. A pear cocktail, very fruity and tasty. A Bailey's, Kahlua and Fireball that was delicious. A mushroom and Jim Beam Manhattan, smoky and did have a mushroom background. We started with mushroom arancini, cheesy and mushroomy. The clams Avalon, their take on clams casino, but are so much better. The clams are definitely the star, not killed with an overabundance of bread crumbs, and the clams are left whole, not minced. Tender, chewy and clammy with their liquor still in the shell. The saucy ravioli is mushroomy and creamy. The crispy duck with cherry sauce is fall off the bone tender. All in all a great birthday dinner.“

“A nice little pizza shop, I’m happy to have found today at work. They serve a crisp thin crust pizza that isn’t too heavy on the sauce or cheese, and therefore not overly greasy as well. (I know pizza is subjective but that’s exactly how I like it). I thought it was delicious and will likely try a sandwich next time. I’d love to see a chicken ceasar wrap on the menu someday, but there’s plenty of options there now. Very friendly people, and fair prices too. It appears to be take-out only, but there’s a few outdoor tables for nice weather. Ample parking, order from the kiosk inside, credit accepted/cash appreciated. Highly recommended.“
“Had dinner here last night for the first time. It was busy and festive with a bustling energy. The addition of a very good piano player was also very nice!There were 9 of us and our server Martin was great and attentive and helpful with ordering! We all liked our meals very much! The roasted artichokes app and the Brussels were phenomenal! I had the salmon piccata which was cooked perfectly. I also tasted the shrimp and beans- so good!!!Highly recommend this place. It’s a little loud for an intimate conversation meal. But if that’s not an issue for you this place is perfect. Will definitely go back!!Dietary restrictions: One person in our party is gluten free. They had many dishes that were able to accommodate her.“
“Tonight was our first visit to this location in 7 years. The food was wonderful and our server David was fabulous. If you plan on visiting this location, I would call ahead to make sure David is working and ask for his section. The other servers were not up to par. It was so upsetting to watch other tables wait for service or their food forever. There was a young family who was seated before us that didn’t even get their entrees until we were ready to leave. Their server should have been more attentive to them instead of standing around fanning herself by the kitchen. Service to the other tables was really really bad.“
“The rigatoni and sausage is great, as is the salmon. Both locations are very dog friendly, unlike Capers and Lemons (owned by the same folks. I make it a point to visit both Taverna locations, but will avoid Capers and Lemons, even though it is closer to my home. Highly recommend Taverna. Dog lovers? Stay away from Capers and Lemons.“
“Stopped in after a lot of people recommended it. Very friendly staff at the bar and the food came out fast. Was a pretty busy place for 4p on a Sunday. Hardly a seat left in the place. Onion rings were delicious and pizza was just ok. Cool spot to grab a slice or order off the menu. I honestly thought the slice pies looked better, and thinner. Not sure why that would be.“
“Finally! Great pizza near Kennett Square!!!! The owner has to be from New York because this is goooood pizza. I've gotten all types of pizza there, and it's all very good. Try grandma's pie. It actually tastes better than my grandma's pie. Don't get FOMO! Check it out!“
“We did not make a reservation as it was a last minute decision. It was a Saturday nite so that was our fault. We had a half hour wait. There is a small bar when you walk in and the bartender welcomes you to sit down. I only had a diet Coke and he did not charge for that in a plastic cup. Our waitress was great! Very personable. I ordered the Italian wedding soup. I have never had one with so many little meatballs! It was filling. I ordered cheese raviolis with a garlic and olive oil sauce and she asked if I wanted 6 or 8. I went for the 6 and after the soup, I saved the rest and had for lunch the next day. They are big and very good. The only issue was the time between our soup and entree was a little long. It appears to be a very popular place. Many people were celebrating birthdays etc while we were there. Most people had reservations and the longest I think I saw a party wait with reservations was maybe 10 mins. My son said it's his favorite Italian restaurant in the Wilmington area. I would definitely go again and make reservations!“
“Real Italian owner from Naples who selects his ingredients and makes his own pizza and sauces. I came here all the time when I worked in the area. The pizza isn't short of cheese or sauce. His pasta noodles are amazing. He's not short changing you and making you feel like a mamaluke when you open up your pizza box at half the joints you probably been to with scarcely any toppings. Man knows his stuff. He's a top fiver in the state. If you're in the area and passing buy this is a pie you don't pass up. Capische?“

“First time going there tonight. Food was amazing. I had the chicken parm and my wife had shrimp linguini. Both meals were very good. Chicken parm was recommended by the waitress and did not disappoint. Huge portion and great taste. Shrimp linguini was great also. Their Limoncello Martini is my new favorite drink. Everything is made from scratch. Service was also great. Recommended meals based on taste and not price which was appreciated. Waitress was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable of the menu. we will definitely be going back we are already planning our next visit. I recommend anyone looking for good Italian food to try this place“
“We arrived early and were immediately seated. The server was friendly and knowledgeable and was very attentive to us. We ordered our dinners and enjoyed large portions. My seafood dinner (Zappa de Pesce) was delicious. My wife ordered Amalfitana and was very pleased. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone. Definitely worth the trip.“
“We have both dined in and taken out.During dine in the food has always been great. We like the pizza, chopped salad and calamari the most.During our recent take out experience, huge disappointment. The pizza was cold, like not even attempted to keep warm during the time it was made to picked up and the calamari was a bit soggy and also cold. Not likely to get take out again.Parking: Street parking on busy street or busy neighborhood side streetsWheelchair accessibility: Tight indoor space. May be hard to navigate. Can’t speak for bathroom space.“
“Always solid pizza with some unique toppings. Ricotta, sausage and long hots is my personal favorite. Tried the wings and they were very good. Also had a great superbowl deal. Fair pricing. Have been about 7 times now and have always been happy with my meal! Usually do takeout but always clean and relaxing setting inside.“
“Our experience at Olive Garden celebrating my aunt's birthday was absolutely exceptional! From the moment we stepped in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The staff went above and beyond to make the celebration memorable. As we sang "Happy Birthday," the entire team surprised us by coming out with a beautifully decorated cake for my aunt. Their genuine enthusiasm and smiles made her feel incredibly special. A special shout out to Kristin on how she managed our difficult crowd.The service throughout the lunch was outstanding; the waitstaff was attentive and accommodating, ensuring our glasses were always filled and that we had everything we needed. The food was delicious, with a wide variety of dishes that satisfied everyone's taste buds. The ambiance was perfect for a family celebration, creating a festive and joyful atmosphere. The staff was also very accomodating for our vegetarian diets.What truly set this Olive Garden experience apart was the extra effort the staff put into making my aunt's birthday unforgettable. Their attention to detail and heartfelt gestures made us feel like valued guests. We left with full hearts and satisfied appetites, grateful for the wonderful memories created at Olive Garden. We'll undoubtedly cherish this celebration for years to come. Thank you to the entire Olive Garden team for making our family gathering so extraordinary!“
“It’s a really cute tiny sit in area but i absolutely loved it!! The food was reasonably priced and came out relatively quickly. We loved everything we ate and it’s hard to like a pizza places’ sides too but this place offers everything. 10/10 everyone should support small businesses like these <3“
“We decided to have our daughters birthday dinner here all 20 of them! Lol. I have to say we felt like family! The food was awesome some of the best NY style pizza I have ever had! They were sooo accommodating! They even played Taylor Swift and it soon turned into a mini Swift concert ! Highly recommended !“
“This is the only pizza ? place me and my wife and I go to. The ? bacon ranch pizza , chicken cheese steak ? and my wife get a l large turkey and cheese ? provolone.. and that sandwich be stake . You have to make a trip there. If you're in the area, check ✔️ the Gallery Pizza ? place out.. you will be glad ? you did.“
“We had booked a party for 20 people on February 17th 2024 under name of Dianne my family and guests were amazed at the atmosphere and the quality and portions of the food. The servers we incredible way to go .we order atleast once a week from u .thanks “
“Pizza by the slice for dinner was affordable, there were several varieties with large slices.They weren't reheated hot enough, leaving them lukewarm and the cheese is not the highest quality.For a quick, easy bite while coming through town it's an excellent option.Bathroom's were clean and parking is abundant.Vegetarian options: Lots of topping variety for vegetarians.“
“Today was my first time ever coming to this pizzeria. I thought that the cheeseburger was quite pricey but my daughter was craving a cheeseburger. Her birthday is tomorrow so I decided to treat her. Wow, my cheeseburger was delicious. But her greedy dog ate her cheeseburger while I ran to the ATM. SMH ?Parking: There are a few businesses here so parking can be a little challenging.“
“I ordered a buffalo chicken cheese steak they used regular hot sauce in which I didn't care for but it was still decent and ordered a ham and cheese in which it was nasty. I was a little upset because I'm pregnant and they refused for me to use the bathroom. I guess I can't complain too much about it I guess. I will definitely try other types of cheese steaks“
“Fresh, colorful, and delicious linguine and clams. Fresh, house-made bread had a nice crust and soft on the inside. House salad had a good mix leaf variety, but could've used a bit more tomato and some fresh garlic or onion added. Trisha gave us excellent and personal customer service. She was very pleasant and made us feel very welcome.The prices were fair. Very nice ambiance with decorative, vintage-style LED lighting and comfortable indoor/outdoor seating. The traditional music and interior decor gave a touch of Italy☺️?. We look forward to coming back soon ☺️?“
“La-la the bartender and waitress is so friendly and committed to you getting a great meal. The menu has a lot of great options, food was nicely prepared and it was convenient to take out for our room at attached hotel (Sturbridge suites and Ramada are both attached). Dining room is dated but laid back would be easy for a family. Super value.“
“Great tasting pizza and other quality offerings plus good prompt service, however slightly inconsistent. Wife and I ordered a large plain pie to go 2 weeks ago, I go in and pay 13 cash. Last night I ordered the same large plain pie but my Wife was charged 16 cash. No mention of a change in price to be found anywhere, price point is why we didn't go across the street. Was missing some crust on this oval pie as well.“
“The food was really good, I was surprised at how big the portions are for a lunch but it was a lot. The staff was nice especially the cool lady with the Inuyasha tattoo, very smiley and friendly and patient because my vision is super bad she gave me a menu and waited as I slllllowly scanned everything, so good service there.“
