Everything was delicious and can’t wait to order again! They do deliver to various spots in Delaware which is very convenient. Ordered…..Lasagna, Ravioli’s and Spaghetti. Definitely a #1 for us!
I’m not typically the type of person to leave reviews, especially negative ones. However given the circumstances I have to give my warning. I am a lover of Italian trattorias and restaurants, and given the photos and previous reviews of Mrs. Robino’s, I was very inclined to visit. Upon entering, me and my wife were greeted by the very kind front of house staff. We ordered the special appetizer of the night , arancini. It was obvious that these were plucked from the freezer and tossed in a fryer to warm because they were still cold in the middle. Our entrees, chicken parm with penne and penne with vodka sauce, were incredibly disappointing. The chicken was akin to a perdue chicken patty (burned) with American cheese on top, with the penne being cooked to the point of disintegration. I’ve seen reviews calling the sauce “gravy” which is actually hilarious because you can taste the tinniness from the can. You can hardly tell it’s been cooked at all. The vodka sauce was watery (?) and lacked flavor, though it was probably the best thing we ate. Upon paying the $95 bill (including one carafe of house wine and tip), we made our exit and were greeted by the oppressive smell of mold and mildew. I do not want to bash a family restaurant because frankly these types of Italian joints are a dying breed, but to offer this low of quality product and be consistently REWARDED for it while charging a premium is absurd. I am absolutely baffled by the overwhelmingly positive reviews when this restaurant has not even cracked my top 5 of Italian restaurants in this city. This restaurant is selling you the idea of a classic Italian restaurant. Save your money and go to Mazellas or Rocco’s!

So I drove an Hour and 45 minutes from Harrisburg PA! Me and My Wife Decided to do the take out and we got a good amount of food. We decided to stay in and try something new for my birthday weekend. Well the food made me sick and her sick. Been in the bathroom for a while, the sauce was to much heartburn and the pasta had no salt. Extremely bland and the Broccoli Rabe tasted a bit funny. I wish I could get my $76.30 back and maybe a few minutes left of my life from eating that food. Still suffering in pain in the bathroom.
Update my wife puked everything. Saturday night and Sunday we were very sick.

It's been a while since I have been there but after visiting Italy this is the next best thing to being there! The quality of the food is second to none and the Servers(more like Artists) are pleasant and helpful. Thanks for letting this road-weary motorcyclist in for a bit of home cooking. I will be seeing you soon!

Took the bridge and was very excited to try based on reviews. Ordered to go and was not impressed. Just like any average Italian place near me.
Everything here was great, and staff went above and beyond to make sure our large group had a great experience

Everything excellent. The ravioli were spectacular and the Tiramisu for dessert was the best. The prices are very appropriate. We will return

We visited Mrs. Robino's Italian Restaurant for dinner this evening. We had Veal Parmigiano and Gnocchi w/meatball. Both dishes were excellent and portions were abundant. our waitress was friendly and attentive. The only disappointment was the back-round music. it was a bit loud and did nothing for the atmosphere. Would have liked to hear some Italian music.
Parking: We found street parking on the same block as the restaurant. I believe They also have some additional parking behind the venue.

Homemade pasta really is worth it, and the atmosphere is charming as all get out. Truly a local treasure.
Vegetarian options: No vegan options, but you can build your own pasta dish without meat.

It was a very nice experience. The restaurant is memorable even if parking is a bot challenging. The staff were splendid, kind, and very helpful. They made great recommendations and provided a plethora of options. The food was very good. The various sauces made the meal so much better and allowed us to make it how we wanted.

I visited for the first time and ordered the gnocchi with red sauce and garlic bread. The garlic bread was too thick to my liking and didn’t have much garlic flavor, I would not order it again. The red sauce was very simple and fresh, but lacked some seasoning and depth of flavor. The meatball was very yummy and the gnocchi pasta itself was wonderful. The friends I was with ordered the chicken alfredo and ravioli with red sauce. Neither of them were blown away by their meals. I would say it’s a little pricy for good, but not great, food. Parking can be tricky but not terrible, there was a ton of space inside, and the servers were friendly. However, I probably would not visit again.
