“Absolutely love V&M's. Their Margarita pizza reminds me of fresh pizza in Italy. Lovely people who always greet you with a smile! One of our favorite places to dine in and take out!“

“As always a traditional delicious Italian meal.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!!!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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?“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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...“

“love them best hot wings ❤️“

“We ordered a cheese pizza with half roasted peppers . We also ordered fries . The food came out hot . The pizza was delicious and the peppers were cooked very nicely . The waitress was kind and very down to earth . We will eat there again“

“A little on the pricey side but all in all a good visit. Ordered the premade pizza (Chicken Alfredo/Cheese Steak). Not great. To be fair, it was end of night, regardless these should have been $1 slices on principle. Real Mozz Sticks, if you have read 1 of my many reviews this is a +. Marinara was tasty & had some seasoning. Cheeseburger Sub was heavy, toasted which was fine but the lettuce was ehhhh… The hot items were piping hot!!! The food was done in under 10 mins, the counter guy was good & … this is the first pizza place that gave me napkins. The little things count!!!“

“Seasons is a local chain of restaurants serving pizza and other Italian favorites in a crowded market. Overall, I enjoyed the offerings Seasons served though I do have a couple critiques as well.
This particular location is in the Talleyville area of New Castle county just north of Wilmington right on US 202 (Concord Pike) and is pretty easy to find. Plenty of parking as well. The atmosphere is what you'd expect, nice and clean and very contemporary. If you're expecting a rustic Italian family restaurant, this might not be your go-to but it is clean and generally spacious.
I went early on a Friday evening and it wasn't too crowded though there were at least several tables with customers so it wasn't empty. The service was good as well with the server providing a good turnaround on refills or whatever I needed. The server was also polite and did well answering any questions I had.
Being a Lenten Friday, I had to be a little creative with what I ordered for my main, which I went with a small pizza with a couple vegetables (tomato and spinach if I recall). The crust was nice and crispy and was slightly thinner than a Philly/NY-style crust but not quite Tavern/STL-style thin. Since it was crispy you couldn't quite fold it though, but I was nice and fresh. The sauce and vegetables also tasted good and overall I enjoyed the pizza. I also liked that they had herbs available to garnish your pizza with, which I have been doing more frequently with my pizza slices. The mozzarella sticks though were good, but were not quite to my liking, though. They were fresh and warm and had a crispy outside, but the cheese wasn't as stringy or gooey as I prefer. The sauce was good and worked well with the mozzarella sticks.
As they have a wide selection of dishes on their menu, I would like to come back and give them another try and see if there are other items on the menu I would enjoy. I definitely hope the service I will get next time is at least as good as my first visit.“

“Thank you to Carlos & Pat’s Pizza for donating 15 pizzas to PS DuPont’s 8th grade formal! Your generosity is greatly appreciated!“

“Stopped in for lunch one afternoon. I got a slice and side salad lunch combo. It was a decent meal, although Seasons has never been my favorite for pizza, I do enjoy other things from their menu. I really enjoyed the salad, it was very fresh. The service was great and the place was clean.“

“I have not had pizza hut in ages, but wanted to check them out since they still had heart shaped pizza’s throug the 17th. Pizza looked great and cooked perfectly, just wasn’t quite as flavorful as I recall? Breadsticks were still the same and delicious. I would come back.“

“Management is the issue at this location. Three issues. They don't honor their military discount consistently. I have the receipt to prove that they applied the military discount to the desserts on our bill at the end of April (attached). A month later, they tried to not honor the military discount on the desserts. I had to request multiple times that they honor it to get them to do the right thing in the end with too much effort needed on my part. Bill charges don't match the menu. I noticed that their billing system didn't match their new menu on my end of April visit. I in fact confirmed that I was provided the new menu for the record to be sure that I wasn't looking at an older version of the menu. The server, Nina, was great to help me get it resolved at least for that April visit. I was able to get management to modify the prices of the desserts on our bill for this April visit. The bigger issue though is that they had a full month until our next visit to have their billing system match the new menu prices. You can't make this stuff up! They in fact didn't make the necessary changes in their billing system confirmed via interaction with their staff. Our server confirmed that the billing system wasn't modified to match the menu at least with regards to the desserts that we ordered. Both servers further confirmed that manual changes needed to be made to get our bill to reflect the right charges for our desserts. A very disrespectful assumption was made by management when she stated the following to me ... something like I can't believe people come out to restaurants without the ability to pay their bill. That was in fact the gist of her statement to me as I'm paraphrasing but know what she meant. That was not the case for my scenario and a very disrespectful thing to say to any customer. I happen to have an 830 credit score per one of the credit bureaus for good reason. I'm only indicating this not to brag but to defend my reputation for such an inappropriate statement made to me. I consistently pay my obligations and on time. They made that statement to the wrong customer as they've earned this detailed negative review. I simply told them that I would only pay the amount of the bill that we in fact legitimately owed. She didn't like that in this case. My opinion is that she automatically assumed that my request for them to honor the military discount that they state that they offer and should honor as promised was taken as if I didn't have the money to pay my bill. I also legitimately contested their up charge for the french fries that I was offered as a choice with my Italian sub lunch special item. Their lunch special menu sheet indicates at the bottom, "Extra Charges for Additions". While in fairness to the restaurant, menu item #8 for the sub lunch special indicates with chips and doesn't indicate with chips or fries, they need to do better by making it more clear as I didn't have an addition to my order since I wasn't delivered the chips with this particular meal. I was provided the fries instead of the chips. If they want to charge more for certain substitutions (if they even want to offer substitutions), they then need to make it clear on the lunch special menu what that up charge is in those cases. That's their choice whether to offer substitutions. If they're not going to allow for substitutions, they need to indicate that in writing on their lunch special menu as well. In the end, they did credit my bill for my May visit with a dollar amount acceptable which seemed to include the up charge being waived for my lunch special. The main issue is that it took far too much effort to get them to do the right thing. They have lost my business forever. I did in fact offer to pay the up charge for the sub lunch special item shortly before being provided my updated bill. I did this to give them the benefit of the doubt being a fair minded guy due to their #8 sub menu item only listing chips and not chips or frie“
