Great food & excellent service. Our server, Morgan, was friendly & prompt. The owner came by to introduce himself which is a plus. Hopefully the menu expands but the pizza &'meatball sub was fantastic. We'll be back.

This place is amazing; totally a hidden gem for great Sicilian pizza. It isn't too greasy/oily or too heavy, if that makes sense. The bruschetta is extremely tasty and a perfect ratio of tomatoes to bread, and the meatballs are perfectly flavored. The cannolis are smooth and a great way to end a meal.

Sorry to say the food here is horrible. I had high hopes for this great location. You can't sit on the balcony because there is a sewer smell. I ordered a cáptese hero $12.95 outrageously priced. No where else is this do high. I expected real fresh mozzarella on fresh Italian bread. What I received was on par with what I can purchase in Costco!! No taste My husband ordered a pasta dish with marinara sauce. It was thick and tasteless. Almost inedible. Needless to say we will not return. Very overpriced for poor food.

Very nice restaurant, polite staff, and good food. Sat on the balcony for dinner which is the best view of the river walk and battleship in background. The food is very well priced, I believe the most expensive menu item was $13. Food was very good and had an upscale feel despite the prices. Meatballs and Italian sausage sandwich were very good, Alfredo pasta was decent. Worth going just for the views, highly recommend.

I ordered take out lastnight through a delivery service. I ordered a plain cheese pizza cause toppings were $6/piece which is absurd. I had heard mixed reviews of the place. I know the location is a huge plus for dining in. The pizza arrived and looked good. My friend and I each had a few bites and she said "this tastes just like cafeteria pizza". And it hit me that it was so true. It reminded me of the cheap pizza served in elementary school in PA. The crust was very strange. It was almost as if they took a pound cake only a little thinner and then just added sauce and cheese. Nothing about this pizza was premium. It actually made my stomach hurt. I had high hopes but don't feel that I even want to try anything else. Update: The owner reached out to me with a VERY kind email. They have offered me a chance to try again I think that is an amazing gesture. The customer service will now make me want to try something else and give another shot!! I even have them another star for it!

Tried Marsellos last night for the first time. Excellent!!!! The appetizers were so good (bruschetta, stuffed peppers, fried mozzarella) and the pizza is incredible!!! I'm picky about pizza, but this pizza blew me away! We ordered a half tray for 5 people and still took some home. The crust is crispy and so delicious!! The owner checked on us a couple of times and gave us 2 pistachio cakes on the house as we were celebrating 2 birthdays. Such a nice experience! We will definitely be back!!! Highly recommend!

Best Sicilian pizza in Wilmington! All with amazing views from the second floor balconies and great service.

Tried Marsello's for the first time last night. Got the stuffed banana peppers as an app and then the half tray with pepperoni, meatball and peppers. Obviously pizza is a preference but man, this was one of the better pizzas I've ever had. Crunchy but soft crust, fresh toppings and the perfect cheese to sauce ratio. Outstanding service, the owner, Jim I believe, came out and spoke to us. Can't wait to come back and watch football here on Sunday's!
Amazing homemade Italian. The pizza is the best in town. Great location right on the water, with a friendly and welcoming staff. Best Italian in town.

Pizza was good, with a decent amount of topping on our slices of pizza --- which were very affordable! Our server seemed like she was behind, but was nice and the owner checked in on us at the end. Didn't get a try to try dessert, but next time!

The Sicilian style pizza is soft dough with a nice caramelized bottom. The meatball sub was yum- not too saucy. The cannoli are bite size, smooth and creamy with a lovely chocolate dipper. The interior is spacious, but the bar side is where it's at for affordable cocktails and a nice view from the large windows.

This place is great to eat at when you want to enjoy being in the exact center of downtown and close to the river walk. My only wish is for them to expand their menu with pasta options- because there is nowhere downtown that has an affordable pasta that is actually tasty. Gimme a lemon ricotta spaghetti, a lasagna, a rich mushroom Alfredo. I recently saw a photo of the stuffed shells :-) I just hope y'all put stuff like that on your menu permanently instead of it being just a special and I'll be there much more often. People. Love. Pasta. Keep up the good work! I'll definitely be back. :-)

I dined in this beautiful Wilmington downtown building on a balcony overlooking the riverfront. The food was delicious!! I had the special which was stuffed peppers with a side of pasta. Everything was fresh, homemade and tasty, ample portions. Excellent service too!! I will definitely be back again.
