50 Best Italian Restaurants near Wilmington Manor

“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?!“

“Evelyn was very pleasant and got everything we needed. Would recommend bertcci’s and our lovely server to everyone! 5 stars“

“I had made reservations for six people for a birthday dinner. It was our first time there great experience, great food, great service. Beautiful place. My only complaint actually two complaints is there was no back entrance into the restaurant from the back parking lot and no handicap parking that I saw which we could've really used.“

“Always good always consistent! My favorite restaurant in the city 2024!“

“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!!!! 💕“

“I’ve been here. For Father’s Day. Good customer. Survice.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“Nice neighborhood pizza joint. Definitely changed hands in the last few years (no updates to the interior, 90s throwback vibe). Pizza was hot and the crust was tasty. It’s a chill, seat yourself kinda place otherwise take out or delivery works too.

*The menu lists beer options however none is available.

Vegetarian options: Lots of Veggie-Friendly options in all sections.“

“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!“

“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!!!“

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

“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.“

“Hidden Gem indeed! Great meal for take out. The lobster ravioli is fantastic!“

“We had the Wednesday night prix fixe menu. All was superb including our Market Manhattans w the warm rosemary focaccia! We had the following: crispy duck confit and shrimp toast for starters; bucatini alla gricia and the porcini-rubbed hanger steak cooked to a perfect med-rare; for dessert the chocolate entremet cake and pistachio cake! It was the perfect birthday celebration. Service and food and cocktails were all spot on and amazing!“

“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!“

“Friendly staff, timely arrival of food to the table, and clean facilities! Nicole ensured we never had empty cups and was punctual throughout our dining experience. If these things are important to you, then you will absolutely have a great experience as well.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Delicious caprese salad and prosciutto and spinach pizza! 🍕“

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

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

“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.“

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

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

“Recommended 100 % Professional Chef“

“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!“
