50 Best Italian Restaurants near New Castle

“AWESOME EVERYTHING GUYS!!KEEP UP THE OUTSTANDING WORK!“

“We order from here entirely too often. It’s fast, hot, reliable, good-tasting food, and the portions are generous. We’ve ordered a bunch of types of sandwiches, the chicken tenders, eggplant parm, cheesesteaks, and it always gets here with integrity - not cold or mushy or lukewarm. The corn nuggets are one of the best items on the menu.
The most impressive thing is that after ordering a million times, not once have I ever received a soggy cannoli, not even a soft shell. They’re always crispy. I’ve seen some people complain about them and honestly, I think they’re good, I always get one, and they’re much better than the alternative, which is no cannoli. Tiramisu is also good and rich, but I always go back to the cannoli.“

“Place is great second time getting food from them. First time dining in. Food is fantastic didn't hear a word from the kids because they were too busy eating everything. We got a Stromboli a pizza mozzarella sticks and 2 orders of their tacos everything was delicious.

Kid-friendliness: Very kind to my 4 year old

Parking: Plenty of parking“

“Great place that's budget friendly to grab a bite to eat. Large variety of food to choose from. Every time I'm there they are friendly and efficient; however, there only use to be 2 servers on the floor for lunch. So service seems slower the busier it gets.“

“My friend and I had lunch at DiPaolo's. It was great. They graciously honored a special seating request with ease. Everyone we encountered from the hostess to our server were friendly and professional. The meal is an outstanding value as we ordered from the $20 for 3 courses menu. The portions are full size and as always, delicious. I have been there for Sunday brunch and regular dinner in the past. This lovely restaurant is always worth the trip.“

“Outstanding foor and service. Unique menu that is full of delicious surprises. Not one thing disappointed.“

“Italian kitchen is a great one stop shop for all your catering orders. I showed up to pick up the sandwiches for our church lunch and I had put the wrong date on the order!!! 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!!!“

“Great pizza with eggplant! As I was leaving I saw a display of arancini (rice balls filled with meat and cheese) which I added to my order. They were excellent, highly recommend them! I will ask Luigi to make a few more of these!!“

“Tonight’s visit was very nice. Our server made our meal enjoyable. Prompt, professional and she enjoyed our cheese jokes. Thank you for a wonderful dinner“

“As always a traditional delicious Italian meal.“

“Excellent service and delicious food at reasonable price for the quality.“

“Gnocchi were delicious. Next time there I'm getting something with meatballs. Friend gave me a bite of her's and it was perfect.“

“Very clean and very friendly. The owner is a really nice guy, he checked up on my son and I and you can tell that he loves what he does very passionate about his food. The cheesesteaks are really good will not disappoint. The sandwich is filled just right so you can eat it and not wear it. The chicken parm sandwich my son tore it up and said it was one of the best ones he has had. French fries are the way they are supposed to be not seasoned or curly just plain great fries. Buffalo wings damn good size not from a baby chicken full grown bird, got the mild sauce and it had a good flavor. Now the pizza! Great crust, thin on the deck and holds really well no saggy slice. True mozzarella not mixed with Provalone you will be able to tell when you taste it, the sauce on the pizza is perfect not sweet or to thick just right. Planning on going back to try more food. Very good menu to choose from and I can imagine it won't disappoint either. This family that runs this place I believe cares about quality to customers, good people, good food what else can you ask for? Next time I'll actually take pics of the food lost track after I bit into the cheesesteak.“

“Been coming here for years. Delaware's hidden Italian secret!“

“Amazing pizza ♡ friendly service♡ love this place!“

“My Husband and I just got the Bianca pizza. Everything else there doesn't taste good(reg pizza, fries) This location was our first date over 27 years ago. We will never stop coming here. As with all food places, prices are way too high.“

“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?“

“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!“

“I really enjoyed the grilled chicken salad because it had a lot of veggies and wasn't just lettuce. I also really enjoy getting the penne with meatballs in blush sauce because the dish is so full of flavor.“

“Sabatina's knocked it out of the park for my husband's birthday. we ordered a couple of sandwich trays and chicken tenders and everything was fresh and outstanding! the ladies in the shop even helped my daughter and I carry our food down the street since it was DE City Day and Clinton Street was blocked off. We can't wait to order again!“

“Amazing experience as always. There was a large party in the dinning room which made the noise level much higher than normal but that is totally out of your control. The food was delicious. The service was top tier and we appreciate the hospitality. Can't wait to come back.“

“We have loved enjoying the delicious food at Cafe Valentina. We have been coming here for more 15 years. We feel like we are dining at one of the finest restaurants in Italy. We were missing Fortuna and Giuseppe for the past six months but finally tonight we had the pleasure to see them at the restaurant. Everyone should come here and enjoy their delicious food. It is real Italian food and they have good prices.“

“I order frequently from Ciao. I have never been disappointed. The food is always good and leaves everyone satisfied. I highly recommend.“

“being a transplant from nj 25 years i finally found authentic pizza and to my surprise a panzerotti..5 star“

“The sauce is very watery. The meatball not homemade. I was disappointed“

“The morning/afternoon crew is the greatest! They make the best pizza around. But if you order after 6pm not so good! Whoever makes the pizza then is afraid to use cheese!! Can you have the morning guy (probably the owner) teach the late day guy how to make pizza?!“

“Love Roman pantry so much. We order regularly and once or twice a year I do a large (16ish) breakfast sandwich order for my teacher coworkers. It is phenomenal every time and everyone always loves it. Thank you guys!“

“The best pizza and subs anywhere. Furr-get Aboutit I had a slice of cheese pizza and an orange soda while waiting for the rest of my order and it turned out to be the best pizza ever. I also had a delicious cheese-steak sub with fries and my mother got an egg sandwich. All the food came out quick fast and in a hurry and was extremely tasty. Would recommend to any local or hungry traveler. I met the two brothers that run the place and they seem like good guys.“

“Purchased an Italian Diablo & some potato salad. Both were very good. I have been having a little trouble finding a convenient nearby sub shop, gave Primo a try and it worked out well. I really appreciate the ability to order & pay on line. You can request a pick up time when ordering which is also very convenient.“

“love them best hot wings ❤️“

“Yatz's is the BEST. Definitely in the top 3 of Delaware. The Ladies who create those delicious mouth watering subs are tremendously nice and very kind. The best part for me are the Tomatoes that Yatz's uses. I do not know where they get it from but when its laid on that turkey sub with a bag of chips and a cold one from their great juice selection....food ambiance at its finest. I usually pay for extra tomatoes!! Oh and the water ice in summertime, salud...“

“Recommended 100 % Professional Chef“

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