Vincenza & Margherita Italian American Bistro

Fantastic dinner. Chicken Parmesan was perfect.

What a wonderful restaurant! From the moment we arrived the service was excellent. The food was delicious. Definitely a place worth visiting. I am looking forward to going back.

One of my favorite restaurants and bars in North Wilmington! Amazing pizza, pasta, entres, drinks, appetizers, and desserts. The service is always very friendly and professional. Bartenders and cocktails are also top notch.

If I could give 6 stars, I would.

As an Italian-American who grew up with sauce simmering on Sundays, pasta made by hand, and a Nonna who could silence a room with a wooden spoon — let me tell you, I do not hand out compliments lightly when it comes to Italian food. But V&M Bistro? V&M makes me feel like I’ve stepped into my family’s dining room — only with better lighting and cocktails.

I’ve been coming here for years now, and every single time I walk through those doors, it’s like coming home. Vincenza and Margherita have created something so rare — a restaurant that blends old-school tradition with modern, elevated comfort. And their staff? Top-tier. From the hosts to the bartenders to the servers who know my name (and my drink), they treat you like famiglia.

Let’s talk food. Their scratch-made gnocchi bolognese is one of my love languages. Pillowy, melt-in-your-mouth perfection swimming in a rich, hearty sauce that could bring a tear to your eye. The agnolotti? Hands down, the best I’ve had outside of Italy. Every forkful makes you feel like you’re in on some generations-old culinary secret.

I don’t say this lightly: their Sicilian pizza might be the best in the region. That crust is airy and crisp in all the right places, the cheese blend is rich and flavorful, and the sauce has just the right bite. And I dare you to try the eggplant parmigiana without falling in love. It’s layered, balanced, and baked to perfection — like Nonna’s, if she had a Michelin star.

But what really sets V&M apart isn’t just the food — it’s the heart. You can taste it in every bite, feel it in every interaction. The owners often stop by tables just to check in, and it never feels like a show — it feels like care. Like home. Like tradition carried forward the right way.

If you're looking for a place that honors the roots of Italian cooking while delivering a refined, unforgettable dining experience, this is it. V&M Bistro is more than a restaurant — it's a return to something meaningful.

Grazie mille to everyone at V&M for making every visit feel like Sunday dinner with my family. I’ll be back next week. And the week after that. And the one after that.

Came here a lot before because their sicilian pizza and pizzas are good. I have to seriously consider whether I will come back here again. I have let a lot of things slide because the food is good but the way I was treated by the server and the owner Margarita further affirms their poor customer service. When I pointed out my concern about being charged twice for a modified dish, namely $ 4.00 for a change in sauce and $2.00 for substituting broccoli instead of spinach, I was met with the server walking off when I asked for them to adjust it and Margarita who is one of the owners having the audacity to tell me that she checked the cameras to make sure I ordered what was on the receipt. I never said I didnt order the dish so stop manipulating what actually happened. I said the pricing and two additional charges to a regular customer is unheard of. She continually argued with me so I paid. Your customer service is poor and any time I ask for a modification you feel attacked. Such a shame as this is one of the only good restaurants in Delaware but after all it is Delaware where they cant handle confrontation. Also your food is already so overpriced as it is for this to happen. You are just plain rude. This is a family business and the brother and mom are way nicer and know how to provide real customer service. But the sisters Vincenza and Margarita have a different mentality and are pleasant personally but not business wise. Also from my observations they provide much better service to their super regular customers. It seems they don't want to give anything off because they have to pay for the lousy band they have on Wednesdays and their djs on Fridays.
