Sat outside. The food was wonderful. Couldn't get around half of the serving. It's even better the next day if you can believe it could be any better. The baked ravioli appetizer was excellent, as was the garlic knotsand eggplant parm and chicken parm. Can't wait to go back and try sorting else.

No pictures because kids!!! But I had to come here and make sure I left a review!! We love food and love trying new restaurants in Wilmington! So glad we came here for a late lunch! We shared a medium white pizza it was perfectly cooked and so much flavor!! We also order the shrimp scampi and pesto tortellini and both were delicious - perfect amount of garlic! My daughter made sure to tell the server this was some of the best Italian food she’s had!!!! Service was amazing from beginning to end! Almost forgot their garlic knots were so yummy and their marinara sauce was perfect!!

I order pizza from here every Friday, This places is a 5 out of 10 at best … doughy in the middle and under cooked on the bottom, no under carriage… even when I ask for extra crispy, there is just something off about this dough, I can’t put my finger on it, unfortunately Wilmington has crappy pizza but this is the best I have been able to find for NY style pizza … being from Brooklyn and a pizza connoisseur my standards are very high… so keep that in mind. If your looking for real good Brooklyn pizza you will NOT find it here in Wilmington you just won’t and I have eaten at every pizza joint in the city more then once … I really want this place to be up to NY standards but it’s not. BTW Dave agrees with me, One Bite Rating 4.3 and I agree

Atleast 4 Tables open, sat for 20 mins with no text for table, there were tables open from the time we arrived till the time we decided to walk out, pure waste of time. If you like a wait for no reason other than laziness this is your place. 1st time there and last, go to Roku..If you read the response below this is a complete lie from the owner or lies told to him by his staff. There were 2 tables outside, then a table in the corner inside marked only 4 and then another 1 for 6. So a couple of 2 will just have to wait. Very poor business model, and then false statements as a response. No thank you.

Staff super friendly. But pizza was under cooked and soggy. Basically greasy dough. Won't be returning at least not for pizza. Atmosphere loud.
I recently found out I have celiac after loving this establishment for so long and was saddened to find out that their gluten free (gf) noodles are made in the same water/pot as the regular noodles. I saw this on a gluten free app where someone stated they got glutened because they were also unaware of this. I called to confirm and they told me they don’t boil them separately unless specified you want it that way. I found this VERY alarming as most people who eat gf have an allergy or sensitivity. There was also no spot to state I had an allergy when ordering online so I had to call afterwards and ask to have it in a separate pot. I’ve never had an Italian restaurant cook them in the same pot and it makes me very nervous about the times people eat it without knowing. I absolutely adore this place and used to eat here quite often so I’m hoping this review brings attention to this very important situation.

Highly recommend! Really good local pizza with excellent management. We ordered delivery and someone else’s pizza was accidentally swapped with something in our order. I called and the manager was very quick to get a new pizza made and sent out, and was so kind about it! Will be back!

I want to start by sharing that the breaded hot wings were amazing. The pizza was underwhelming but, it’s pizza. We ordered when the server came to greet us since with has 2 under 2 & 3 older kids as well. It took over an hour for our entree & pizza to come out. Pizza came first & then about 10 min later my husbands food. My entree didn’t come so my husband asked about it to make sure it wasn’t forgotten. It was. He asked if he could just have a tiny cup of Alfredo so I can just eat some of his food because it’s 80° in there and even our baby was sweating. She came to the table about 15 min later with a cup of Alfredo and said something happened with the ticket. I asked if we could have a box because the baby is sweating & we need to get him out. We had been there over an hr and a half at this point. No apology, just an additional almost $6 for a tiny cup of sauce so I had something to at least somewhat make his leftovers similar to what I came to order. As a mom of 5 going out to dinner is few and far between. I understand things happen but the lack of care that a whole entree didn’t come out & what we did order came out at all different times was dragging out or meal as we sit in 80° heat was shocking. I was excited to try an Italian place close to home.

I woke up this morning CRAVING a sandwich. My friend said “what about the Italian bistro?” I said okay! I’ve never been there before. We walked in, the music wasn’t too loud which was perfect. I hate when I can’t hear the people at my table because of obnoxious music. We got to choose where to sit, and then when we’re greeted by the most jubilant, sweet waitress. I believe her name was Maria. In fact, I’m only leaving this review because of how exceptional her service was. She was incredibly personable, made jokes with us, was able to answer all of our questions, and it just felt so cozy - almost like we were just friends in her living room. I recommend this restaurant to everyone, and don’t forget to ask for Maria!
