“It was my first time eating at this chain and it was magnificent. I had the Caesar salad, peach tea, sourdough bread (obvs), and the fettuccine weesie and it was all divine. I’m not one to usually like salads but every bite was like a touch with heaven. Our server, Jason, was very attentive, sweet, and humorous. He was an absolute darling. Whatever he’s getting paid is simply not enough.“
“Wow, wow, wow!! This was an all around amazing meal. We came in on a Friday at about 5:30pm. The hostess was very friendly and got us a high chair and let us pick our table. It's a good sized restaurant with Italian themed decor and a large bar area. It was casual and inviting. Our waitress was so nice and sweet talking to my baby boy. She knew to ask for his order first. Kids have 5 free meal options and 5 meals under $7. We also ordered their brussel sprouts appetizer from the feature menu right away. They were so crispy and I liked the balsamic glaze. While we looked over the menu she brought us the best rolls with herb butter! So good! We ordered the stuff eggplant, the Gorgonzola chicken with whipped potatoes and the angel hair pasta with Sunday sauce. All the entrees come with a salad. Their dressing is made in-house and they were very good. Our meals came out hot, flavorful and fresh! My son's meal was huge and perfectly cooked. The chef came out and also said hi to my son and joking asked if he liked the chicken. He smiled. We had so much food that we had leftovers for another meal. We just didn't have room for desserts but they sound delicious. I definitely plan to come back and try more of their menu.“
“Olivero is a gem on 3rd st. It’s charming, interesting and delicious. Every staff member we encountered was friendly and accommodating.I don’t drink and was pleasantly surprised with the thoughtful and fabulous mocktail they have called the “Refreshing 10”. It was so tasty and fun to drink.Food-wise we loved the smoked eggplant (I could have eaten another round…tip for non-anchovy lovers, the anchovy is light and adds a great balance to the dish), the Clam Spaghetti, the Fennel Sausage Bucatini, and Braised Rabbit Radiatori (all handmade in house and you can taste the difference).For desert we had the Basque butter caramel cheesecake that disappeared in less than 90 seconds - sooo good!Overall I felt this place was fantastic and we truly enjoyed our dinner and the vibes. Highly recommend for date night, special occasions and just because you want great food.Parking: Small parking lot available next to the restaurant- not many spots so leave time to find parking.Also there is 1 handicap parking spot there.“
“First things first Salita makes a delicious pizza, they have a lot of really interesting and unique pizza options and fun flavor combinations to try.Their pizzas are cooked in a wood fired oven and that flavor can't be beat. They are located in the middle of the cargo district and you order from their take out window. They do not have an designated seating but there are lots of options of where to sit in the area. The pizza came out pretty quickly considering it is made fresh and took around 15 minutes. The only reason they are not receiving 5 stars from me is the price, it is a little steep. All of the pizzas from my knowledge are about 10" and the prices vary from $18-20 (except for the margarita pizza which is $13) per pizza. Whether or not the price is worth it is up to you, but I certainly think they are worth giving a shot because they are some excellently crafted pizzas.“
“Great atmosphere & service. Dimly lit, candlelight, private balconies available. Amazingly lemony pesto, delicious burrata ravioli. Better Italian than I’ve had anywhere near Raleigh in 2 years. Aracini needs a bit more salt. Tiramisu was to-die-for. Best I’ve had since I left Chicago, nothing near Raleigh compares. Smaller portions but filling. Few vegetarian dishes.Vegetarian options: Not a lot but everything that is veg is really good.“
“My wife and I are NJ/NYC natives, and had my share of good Italian. Nicola’ is sold…meat, fish, or chicken you can’t go wrong. Plus homemade pasta. Last night I had my summer favorite…. Cavatelli with broccoli. Wine list is broad enough for anyone to find something they like. Wife is celiac, waitress understood what that means, and was totally accommodating.“
“I’ve been here a few times and after my last visit would like to leave a review! The food here is so good. To die for. The Alfredo sauce with cheese tortellini is so so good. I’ve had it twice now and the portion is big enough to make for a meal and leftovers, or to share with someone! The pizza is also really really good and so are the garlic knots! It was quite busy the last time I went there but that is to be expected as it was a weekend night. It was nice watching the pizza being made and thrown into the ovens from my table! My waitress was also very nice and kept up with the rush spectacularly, my drink was never empty. My boyfriend also enjoyed his meatball sub :) Can’t wait till I have some extra money to eat here again! Can’t recommend enough!“
“I cannot even begin to say how great this place is. We are from Boston but are getting married in Wilmington. We picked Quanto Basta for our rehearsal dinner and flew down to see the space and try the food. Everything including the service was incredible. Highly recommend the braised short rib and shrimp scampi risottoAmazing for dinner and a private event!! Reina is also incredible to work with we love her“
“As a former New York and CT resident I haven't found a place worth recommending till now. I initially ordered Stromboli and calzones cuz those are harder to F up. Well, the bolis n zones are so good I haven't ordered a pizza yet bcuz, if I order a pizza, imma eat a pizza. My way of portion control.“
“I recently visited Rosalie's Trattoria for lunch with a couple of friends and we thoroughly enjoyed the dining experience. We had ordered a couple of items from the menu. For starters we ordered - chef's signature bruschetta, breaded Mozzarella and Pasta Nachos. My personal favorite was the breaded Mozzarella. I also tried the pasta nachos for the first time and loved it. For the entree we ordered Alfredo Pasta Primavera, Eggplant Rollatini and cheese ravioli. While I'm not a huge fan of eggplant, I really liked the Eggplant rollatini very much. To top it off we also ended it with our favorite dessert Tiramisu!“
“So happy my brother Joe brought us here for Italian wedges. We also had dessert to go. The pistachio crumbcake was incredible. Owners are so friendly and staff is spot on. Love it and will Def be back next time we visit Joe and Shannon. The girls from Port Chester, “
“Great experience! We were there for their weekend family style 6 course dinner. You get a lot of food and can take home what was served to your table that wasn't eaten. Only negative is that it's loud. Joe, the owner, was a pleasure to deal with through many reservation wait-lists and changes. And, he came around to our table to say hello. Nice people.“
“What a gem. Super friendly people, great pizza, and good prices. Can't wait to try the pasta.2 giant Specialty slices and a drink, for under $10.I got Chicken Bacon Ranch, and Buffalo chicken, and they both were good, but the Chicken Bacon Ranch was outstanding. 6 hours later and I am still thinking about how good that pizza was.Other people had various pastas and pizza that looked really good also.I will definitely be going back. Maybe tomorrow lol..“
“I like to respect a Restaurant that deserves it - And I think I just found my fav Italian restaurant in Wilmington and we have lived here a year already! You would not think much of it driving by at Mayfaire but always thought - Need to try that place. It was our first time here tonight on a Wed night and they were busy for midweek.Food was SUPERB!! So many flavors!! We had Clams Oreganato and Escargot for Appetizers.I never get enough garlic but Escargot was perfect and bread to dip to finish it all off. I had one of the Specials tonight - Lobster Shrimp Linguini and my main squeeze had Veal Sorrento. Food came out HOT HOT - Important to us. And BIG portions which we really weren’t expecting. WOW.Nancy our Waitress was very warm and friendly and busy but EXCELLENT. Oh, and we took the Housemade Tiramisu to go. YUM!!This restaurant has character. Not very big and so need reservations. We should have called earlier and not the day of. Don’t let the white tablecloths and napkins scare you - People were still dressed casual. The staff is a Team - So Great Service and everyone helps each other out - From the Servers to the people that get your TO GO. Parking not a problem. It was a nice way to celebrate the end of my Birthday month - We LOVED IT!!“
“This place is awesome. They have great workers and the food id awesome. This is not just for pizza. The veal parmesan, eggplant parmesan, and shrimp scampi are great too. My Father lives when I get him the veal and cannoli for dinner. He is an old Italian that grew up eating true Italian meals and is very picky at 92. Of course their pizza is delightful as well. By the way, their chicken wings are huge, we have them as our Friday meal.“
“My wife and I had a late (for us) Friday evening reservation (7:30pm). Glad we left home and arrived early as parking was difficult to come by and we ended up parking at the market street garage.We arrived shortly before our reservation and a table was available shortly after. It seemed to be fairly busy, but certainly not at capacity.We ordered an app and it was quickly ready. Our server was attentive and she ended up apologizing for the wait as our main courses did take an unusually long time to arrive (almost an hour) after our appetizer.The portions were unusually large for an upscale Italian restaurant. Generally upscale Italian tends to prioritize visual appearance over quality portions. I'm happy to report you won't go home hungry here.All and all the food was pretty good. It isn't cheap and it isn't somewhere to go if you are in a hurry. Your paying $30+ for most entrees, so again the portion sizes help with the value. It was our anniversary and they gave us a nice canoli with a chocolate "Happy Anniversary".We had a gift card and there was some issues with the internet and it further delayed our getting out of there, but our sever was very kind and apologized numerous times for all the waiting, so my huntch is in general it isn't as slow moving as we experienced. It was just before 10pm we finally walked out.“
“I ordered a pepperoni and sausage pizza online. The pizza was ready when I arrived and it was some of the best pizza in the area. It was cooked perfectly and there was a good amount of toppings. We've ordered from here numerous times and it's consistently good. We ordered the thin crust, excellent!“
“My first time ordering from Brooklyn Pizza and our calzones & garlic bread were absolutely delicious! The veggies, cheese, garlic & sauce were so fresh & flavorful! I definitely will be ordering here again! And trying the pizza & other items on the menu next time.“
“IMO - thee best pizza! But, they are more than just pizza! So many other options! My favorite is the Caesar Salad w/ BLACKENED Chicken (sometimes shrimp) and it's the best!! Here is a hidden secret. They sell their Ranch and Caesar dressing for a few bucks and we get it weekly, and then make salads at home all week.“
“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.“
“Solid place. Great ambiance, food and service. The food has always been delicious and well presented. We have had everything over several visits. From pizza, to salads, to pasta and more. All beautifully prepared from a chef that seems to care as much about flavors as he does about presentation. Take a look at some of these pictures!“
“The long wait was a little aggravating but had delicious food. I had the ravioli. I must say the food was delicious & they have one fantastic bartender back there. John's friendly personality and amazing bartending skills made our dinner truly unforgettable. We had a reservation but the wait was so long. but I can tell you that I'm so glad that we didn't miss out on this experience. I'll definitely back soon.“
“I go to Marbella probably twice a week minimum for lunch, they have a special two sliced and a drink for under 9$, I love the pizza, typically just get the meat lovers, the cheese is good and I’m from Wisconsin so…The Buffalo chicken pizza and white pizza are must try’s. I like the workers there, they are always nice and welcoming.if you haven’t tried it stop in, they always have slices ready to go so it’ll be worth your time just to see.“
“It was my first time ordering Ledo’s since being in the area. It tasted great as I liked Ledo’s since my days in the DMV. I didn’t get a heartburn from the sauce, and despite the pizza not being gluten free, my gut was not reactive. It was a great eat for a late night dinner.I ordered from Door Dash so I don’t have an in-dining experience to note.“
“Every time I’ll go to Wilmington I will definitively go to Fat Tony’s ! Best pizza, best fried calamari and best service! I don’t know the waiter name but he was so friendly so good manners and welcoming smile! My son’s wanted to go the day after again!!!“
“Best sub I've had in a while. Decent prices, staff was helpful. The food was amazing. The seasame seed bread pairs great with the meat and cheese. This was my first time trying it and will definitely be back.Vegetarian options: EggplantParking: Tight small lot“
“Excellent food and service!After recently discovering this restaurant I will go nowhere else for Italian food! Lots of parking and very accessible. Highly recommend! Usually order takeout and sit at the bar while I wait. The bartenders are very attentive and professional. Be sure to tip because the service is exceptional ?“
“When I preach in Castle Hayne, many of the parishioners & I go to Uncle Louie's for lunch after worship. Both the food & service are outstanding; menu prices are very reasonable, & they have many delicious offerings. Salads are always fresh & well-prepared as well as their huge pizza slices, lasagna, & spaghetti, but Italian food isn't all Uncle Louie's offers. Their club sandwich is delicious; so are their shrimp. Such a wonderful family atmosphere to enjoy great food, outstanding service, & visit with family & friends. Yes, I highly recommend Uncle Louie's & look forward to going back.“
“First time out on a date with my husband a few weeks ago and we came here. The hostess that seated us was very welcoming. Our waiter Angus was five ? amazing. He was able to explain the entire menu, and help us choose what we wanted. We even got a dinner to go as well because he definitely sold the food. Food and service was 10stars. We will definitely be back.“
