33 Best Italian Restaurants in Wilmington

“Have had many items from their menu, from pizza mainstays to specials and every item is amazing! Always great service and food. If you’re upset about having to wait, maybe there’s a reason so many people are there… 🤤“

“Olivero is easily our new favorite spot. The homemade pasta was unlike anything we’ve had before—fresh, perfectly cooked, and paired with flavors that were unexpected but worked together beautifully. Every dish was impressive. The service was just as outstanding. The team worked seamlessly, bringing fresh plates and silverware after every course and keeping the table spotless. No awkward moments of figuring out where to put your utensils—just smooth, attentive service that made the whole experience feel effortless. Incredible food, impeccable service—Olivero sets the bar high. We’ll definitely be back often!“

“Great service! Had a lovely night, best part was the delicious food! Chef’s kiss“

“As part of our little pizza tour we hit Salita up as our 2nd stop.
It was good. All of us thought it was way salty. Tone down the salt and it is 5 stars.. cargo district has cool litte vibe so not a bad place to grab a pizza and a beer.“

“Food is amazing. Best chicken Parm I've ever had. The butter for their rolls, VERY garlicky, which I don't mind but if your not a fan of garlic be warned. We have been a few times, the first time we celebrated our anniversary and they gave us a free bread pudding which was amazing. The last time we went we celebrated our engagement and it didn't seem like the servers acknowledged it at all. No big deal, but it was a nice touch the first time we visited.“

“Good food, Great service.“

“What an amazing first experience we had tonight! My wife and I live in Myrtle Beach, but our child lives here. We are staying at their place watching their pets while they are away. This place has been on our to try list for a while now and we finally had the opportunity. What an incredible experience! The food was outstanding! The flavor was on point and the servings were huge! My wife and I each had an amazing pasta dish and split the largest piece of coconut cake we have ever seen. Now, you would think after all that I just wrote that would be the best part of our experience, but it wasn’t! The absolute best part was one of the kindest people we have ever met, Bella! Let me tell you the meaning of her name fits in so many ways! She was absolutely incredible! So kind! So caring! I honestly could go on and on! She made my mine and my wife’s evening such a memorable night.“

“I’m absolutely in love with their delicious Italian cuisines. It’s honestly, in my opinion the best in Wilmington. The staff are super nice! Especially, Al and Haily, because I’ve personally have met them both. Wilmington please try this restaurant to keep it going for years to come. My precious granddaughter loves it also. Thanks for all the hard work y’all put into making those mouth watering entrees. ????????“

“The food was absolutely delicious and portions were quite large. Its a cozy little place and the owners and staff are very kind and gracious. We will be back for sure.“

“We went to Roko Italian restaurant last night, for New Year’s Eve, in Wilmington . We sat at the bar, Jason took care of us , if you’re looking for the ultimate experience and great customer service sit at the bar and let him wine and dine you you’ll simply love it just like we did . I had the lamb chops , my daughter had the Chicken Florentine. Thank you Jason for a great job. Looking forward to coming back in 2023.“

“Absolutely delicious! Our pizza was perfect! We will be ordering again!“

“First time my husband and I had ever eaten here and it was delicious and the prices were good. The staff were amazing especially when we accidentally dropped our leftover spaghetti and meatballs. They gave us a brand new one on the house even though they didn't have too and we didn't ask. We will definitely be going back and I recommend this place to anyone.“

“I’ve been to Floriana several times now, and each visit somehow outdoes the last. Iggy is by far the best server—she’s been there for years and is always incredibly attentive, upbeat, and friendly. She truly elevates the experience. The food? Absolutely amazing and consistently delicious. They make their own pesto (which I wish they sold by the jar—it’s that good!). My favorite dish is the lamb gnocchi—rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked every time. I love coming here and already look forward to my next visit. Highly recommend!“

“Great service from the bartender who made us mocktails to our server who was attentive and pleasant. The ambiance was perfect and the food was delicious. I would definitely recommend.“

“My wife and I recently visited the Osteria Cicchetti for an appetizer and a drink to just relax and have some "us time". We sat in the bar area at a high top table for two and our server was Danielle. She was friendly, polite, helpful and made our visit even more enjoyable but not rushing us. We ordered the Margherita Pizza, a glass of white wine and a Stella Artois. Everything was just right... Danielle bought us over some Italian bread and Flatbread, which we both like. I added some olive oil with sea salt and black pepper to my dish so that we had some dipping "sauce". All in all we both really enjoyed our visit to the O.C. for an appetizer and relaxation time.“

“Wonderful service from Tyler! Made our night!“

“I seemed to have been here at an unusually busy time? Food-wise there are good ingredients being used on the burger and the cook does a good job of preparing BUT they’re missing a good expo to run food and make sure the ticket matches the order. I was missing a sauce and saw the cook running food numerous times to tables. Seems like they need an upgrade at manager. Anyway, I’ve heard poor reviews about the pizza so I tried it myself. This is not an award winning recipe by any means but the slices are huge. Perfect if you need a vehicle to get toppings ingested but I would not recommend plain as it truly is not impressive at all. Decent spot for watching sports at the bar. Seems like a place that caters to local regulars more than passers by. The ginger bartender girl was awesome and handled a lot going on at once. She seemed to be the only glue holding it together in the front of the house. With little competition they’ll make it but it wouldn’t hurt to polish up the operation a bit.“

“Very good! Will be back hopefully soon for some more pasta.“

“We order here a lot. Usually good. But today dry, no cheese, no marinara. Horrible pizza. Not even a busy time of da t. Lost our business!“

“Let’s start with the Deli , my favorite the Haley. Now I am a retired culinary Particulartarian ***yes I made this word up ; however I have never been displeased with customer service, the loving spirit of staff or with the quality of food. The course meal dining experience is out of this world! My review is based on bringing 12 - 15 of my support group front liners to dinner to let them know how grateful I am and we are blown away each time. Joe , his wife and staff deserve our 5 star rating.“

“Pizza was amazing, ate crust and all...Very good and very welcoming atmosphere staff and owners were great...If your in Wilmington you must come and eat here😋😋😋💯💯💯“

“We had grand plans elsewhere, but a day in the car-shop rerouted us. They seated us quickly for a full house, immediately took our order, and began serving to each of our requirements. My wife said we should remember to come late in the future, because the soup gets to cook down - more ingredients than broth {and it was excellent}. We enjoyed the gnocchi, fagioli, and Tuscana. Never a problem with OG's breadsticks or salad!“

“Thank you for the incredible service and food. The catering order was exactly what we wanted and everyone raved about how amazing the food was. The service was so streamlined picking it up - it was fresh and hot and your staff graciously brought everything out to the car for us. Thank you so much for helping make my husband's 50th birthday a hit!“

“🥰Omg... if you want some really good pizza with fresh ingredients, please come to this place... this is my 3rd time in a week and a half coming here... the pizza... the salads... the Strombolis..... omg... so good and fresh
.. I was never a fan of pizza crust until I came here.. 1000 out of 1000... I would hamster fight you over my pizza crust lol... food is so so good and the staff is 1 of a kind!“

“Excellent service from Emma today! The lasagna and shrimp penne pasta were awesome!!“

“i had fun when i went with my family“

“grew up eating pizza at the original Ledos“

“We arrived about an hour before closing and requested to sit on the patio—unaware that it had already been mostly closed down for the night. Despite that, the hostess provided exceptional customer service. She never made us feel like an inconvenience or rushed, even though it was near closing time. Her friendly attitude and professionalism really stood out and made us feel welcome.

The food was absolutely incredible, too—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. From start to finish, it was a great experience. This kind of hospitality, especially at the end of a long shift, is rare and truly appreciated. We’ll definitely be back!“

“excellent Pizza! thin, crispy and loaded with toppings! I don't get there often but when I do it is well worth it!“
