The bread is great and the sauce was really flavorful. The arrancini balls were good.

The carpet makes the restaurant feel very mildewey and has a smell to it.“

“We had a great time at this establishment. The only problem was that we did not get out appetizers. They gave us 2 complimentary dishes though so it fine. Our waitress was never actually there and we always had to ask someone else to order. The tiramisu was a bunch of cream, a little bread, and straight coffee. The pizza was great 😊“

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

“If the Concord Mall is a dying husk of what it once was, Café Riviera is an oasis in the desert. We've been stopping in this little hidden gem for more than 20 years, but hadn't visited in a long while. Tonight we made a special trip, and were greatly relieved to find not only are they still open, but the food is still top notch. We were seated right away by friendly staff. Server was attentive and obliging. Our food took quite a while, but it was obviously made to order and totally worth the wait. There's not much our family of four can agree on, but we all came away happy. Amazing pizza, beautiful calzone, delicious garlic knots. Serving sizes were more than we could eat, plenty of leftovers to bring home. In a fast-changing world, it's nice to find some things exactly the way you remember them.“

“I enjoyed the food. Ordered a hoagie and Stromboli. Both were excellent. My son and I loved the sauce as it wasn’t sweet.“

“Isaiah provided an amazing experience at Wonder. From the moment we arrived, he was attentive, friendly, and made us feel genuinely welcomed. He had great knowledge of the menu and gave thoughtful recommendations that turned out to be perfect. His energy was calm yet engaging.“

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

“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.“

“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“

“Please please bring back the burrata and soprasetta appetizer!! It was the best and so many patrons miss it!!“

“Everything about this place is perfect, esp. the food, we got the short rib, if it's on the menu I always order it, this has to be one of the best I've had. It was an Asian style, with chopped bok Choy, the meat fell apart, so tender. The asparagus and little gem salad was shared, and also perfect, I give them 10 for food. Service was impeccable as well. I wouldn't hesitate to go back!“

“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“

“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!“

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

“Mike B. was our waiter and we enjoyed his service. He was down to earth and he opened up to my table about some of his personal experiences. Mike also recommended some great places to see while we were in the region, since we were visiting for a double relative’s funeral. The sites he recommended really lifted everyone’s down disposition from our funerals. It was just what we needed. Thanks Mike, your service made our whole trip all the better. Because of you, when we think of our Delaware trip, we will have happy memories along with the sad ones. Your thoughtfulness and kindness touched us all, signed your table out of Virginia and Detroit, MI“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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“

“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.“
