Pre-COVID complaint. We are never going back. Both times we went the food was okay, but nothing worth the price. Since the first time we went, they had just opened, but we decided to give them a second try a year later. After a subpar meal, my mother ordered an Irish coffee. They were out of whipped cream, so my mother asked if they could put a tablespoon of vanilla ice cream in her coffee instead. They charged her for the dab of ice cream! I've held off writing this review, so I forget how much, but it was what they would have charged for a full scoop if ice cream, which she did not receive. Never again!

We went there for a first time and even thought the food was good price was too much for the amount of food we got just a piece of lasagna with not size like $18 and my Salmon platter was an ok portion an ok price not counting drinks and tip not going back too too expensive

Skeptical because of the number of stars other gave this place. However my growling stomach said go in anyway. The smells of good italian food entered my nose immediately upon walking in. Loved the decor of the place very warm and inviting. Sat by a cute wood oven that kept me nice and warm. Started the night with some bread and olive oil! Yum not hot bread but still good. Entrees: Spaghetti 8/10 - huge dish enough to split. meatballs were just ok. Sauce was great not like other places were it's too watery and plain. Shrimp scampi 10/10 - loved this dish! Not enough to split but it was the perfect size for one person. Loaded with lemon butter sauce and about 9 shrimp. Well worth it. Alfredo shrimp scampi 10/10- huge dish! Split it. Soo I ordered the shrimp scampi minus the lemon butter sauce and added alfredo sauce! Definitely a great way to order this if your thinking you want alfredo sauce because you get 9 shrimp! (FYI: if u order fettuccine Alfredo and add shrimp u only get 4) Great service and short wait time.

Met a friend here last week for lunch. When I first arrived I was not very hopeful as the hostess was not very welcoming/friendly. She also sat us at a booth right next to a 6 top that was having a work meeting. At the time, we were the only 2 tables in the entire place. Thankfully, the bartender served us and he was great. Very friendly and attentive. I ordered the Caesar salad with grilled shrimp and it was delicious. My friend ordered the mozzarella caprese with grilled chicken and that looked great too. The complimentary bread was also very good! I will definitely be back to try more dishes.

Amazing food and the host is a absolute gentleman. My wife and I love this guy

The food was great and so was the service. We got there early and were seated immediately. The decor is very cool. I recommend this place for a nice family meal.

My first time there and the food was delicious also 1st class service. I must say the bread served with my meal was by far the best I had in a long time at an Italian rest.

Okay so this place is good but not worth the cost. Everything that we got was mediocre good not bad not exceptional but it cost $77 for two people to have two meals two appetizers and a dessert and I got an alcoholic drink. now you would think that that would be worth it for $77 but the food was just okay it wasn't like amazing or anything The best thing that we got was my out my beverage which was a seacret mule. My drink was amazing and that's why I gave it two stars instead of one because the drink had just the right amount of ginger just the right amount of alcohol it was perfect it was delicious it was good. My food I got the penny vodka with the chicken. The chicken was very thin it wasn't a big piece of chicken for the extra money that you paid to add the meat to your meal it was like they took a small chicken breast and then filleted it and then fried it so it's just chicken chips really. Then my pasta was good it was cooked well but the sauce was kind of bland. The cake they say that you have to order it when you order your entree and I don't understand why because it was a small cake that was prepared well in advance because the icing was hard and that you can touch it without getting the cannoli and cream on your fingers so that was a major strike against it. The inside the cake was chocolate it was light it was fluffy as long as you take all that stuff off the top and just eat the inside of the cake it would be okay not worth 10 bucks though. My husband got a small bowl of the soup and you would think there would be a lot of soup but the bowl was kind of thin it was wide but then so he only got a little bit of soup but it was okay it was tasty and he got potato gnocchi with meatballs. He said that his food was okay we left feeling like it was it was an okay meal but not worth the $87 including tip. I wouldn't go again unless I went with a group of people who wanted it and I was just going to get maybe some appetizers. The garlic bread was so saturated with butter or olive oil Don't know which that you can squeeze it and it would pour onto the plate now if you love buttery overly buttery garlic bread that has cheese on it then this is the place for you definitely order it it's a nice size portion for a 10 bucks it was just too saturated with butter for me to even like really eat it.

The service here was not great. My group arrived in the early afternoon (1 hour after opening) so it wasn't busy at all but the time waiting for our server took extremely long. The food took forever with no update on what was going on. After receiving my food (which was highly recommended) was not good at all. The pasta dish I ordered (Penne Vodka) was dry, very little sauce. It just was not appetizing. The attitude of the staff was unacceptable. I want to really hope we came on a bad day but yeah, I'm too sure about it. #disappointed Untill next review, @kickinitwithki (IG)

Really loved the food. Great taste. Especially the grilled chicken has smoking flavor which makes it taste really good.
Sunday I went there with a large party. My food was good but some people in the group didn't like their food. My cousin returned her entire pizza. My issue is the customer service there sucks. It wasn't explained to me or the people at my end of the table that only the first 2 garlic breads would be complementary. The complementary ones where placed at the beginning and end of the table. Those of us in the middle didn't get any so we (not just me) asked for another one. Later when the check arrived it was on my check . I inquired about it and I felt I was given a lot of attitude from the female and male wait staff. The lady explain to me the only the first two where are complementary. I told her I did not know that so she sent the male back over. He explained the same thing she did and then said haven't you been to a restaurant before. I don't know if he was joking or not but I thought that was very rude. Then he said he would take it off this time but next time I would have to pay. I do not live in Delaware nor do I plan on coming again. This was my first and last time there. I don't feel as though he was appropriate in asking me if I've ever been to a restaurant. Prior to this incident other members of our group but maybe the staff were a bit rude. They forgot to bring my cousins drinks but remembered before they brought the checks out. If it wasn't for the attitudes and the issue with my check I may have given them 4 stars because my food was good.

A group of us and our Publisher went here to celebrate our first speaking event after our book had reached best seller. What a wonderful time we all had. I can not say enough good things about them. From the minute we walked through the door we were welcomed. Professional and friendly staff. Excellent service, the food was delicious, cooked and prepared perfectly. The restaurant and restrooms were spotless as well! Thank you we will be back. Deborah Finley

Scott was AMAZING! Our server was attentive, made great recommendations, and was the perfect host to my family. We went for an early dinner (late lunch) so there was no wait. We sat at a comfy, big, circular booth. I recommend this if you have at least 4 people. We had 6. Bread was offered and brought to the table despite our appetizers order. I do not recommend this bread. It was average tasting but the crust was too hard for our liking. The appetizers were served at the right temperature and were the best part if the meal to me. The calamari was perfect! I relied on my son because he is our local expert. He couldn't stop eating it. The portion size was perfect for a party of 6. The salad we ordered was so good it could've been my entree. Way to go Chef! Perfect vegetables, dressing, and overall taste! The entree portions were generous. So if you opt for an appetizer I'm certain you'll take part if your entree home with you. The Chicken Parmesan entrees were spectacular! Our kids enjoyed them and so did we. The Shrimp Alfredo was well balanced and creamy, just the way my nephew likes it. The ravioli was good as it was our daughter's first time having it with spinach inside. Mom didn't care for the smoky taste of the grilled chicken that I enjoyed. However, it didn't seem to pair well with the Gnocchi. Lastly, I felt my Salmon was a little dry. It was cooked well but seemed lonely without any sauce. Oddly though, THE SIDE OF SPINACH WAS TO DIE FOR! #quirkybuttrue Unfortunately we didn't try dessert. When I do I'll be sure to update this review! I can't wait to go back to try more menu items. Please stay tuned and commenting is always encouraged.

We had a great Christmas Eve dinner here. Ordered the Chicken Parm (which was on special since it was Tuesday) and the Linguine Fra Diavalo. We had never seen anything like the Chicken Parm. It was HUGE. Pounded so thin, but still really tender, it looked like a cheese Pizza. Served with a side of Spaghetti, it was so delicious !! I had to bring half of it home. I wouldn't hesitate paying full price for this. The Fra Diavalo was very good also. I took off one point for the Caesar salad. It had no taste, and it was an extra charge. I would definitely go back, and highly recommend.

LOVE the calamari appetizer. The pasta is delicious every single time. Their desserts are way overpriced I don't recommend them but the food itself is made with love and always an experience.
