“The service, food and drinks are always on point. The have a wonderful for private room for events.“

“Food is always consistently good. We were there a few weeks ago when on a Wednesday. Apparently there was some group in a side room. Our waitress was MIA most of the meal after she dropped off our food. No refills on drinks when we needed it. Then it took twenty minutes to get our check. Everyone around us was also complaining. One waitress for ten tables? It is obvious they were paying more attention to the larger party in the side room. . They need to hire more waitstaff. It spoiled the outing.“

“The menu is vast. The burger I had and his pasta dish were both amazing. We brought at least half of it home! The service was prompt and quiet; non invasive. I do like the concept of BYOB although we chose not to this time around. Can't wait until next time so I can try another dish!“

“Order anything with the garlic bread and amp up your gastronomic experience to epic proportions. Lauren has that way of scanning the bar/restaurant for a refill, making sure everything is cool, or the check. It’s not loud so you can converse with friends-and new friends! Community vibe. Oh, and did I mention the garlic bread?“

“This is our favorite Wilmington restaurant, and the food never disappoints. So delicious! The beef tartare was so interesting with an Asian flare, the squash appetizer was earthy and warm and delightful. The duck was tender, as can be, and the pork shoulder with the coconut, sweet potato was to die for. The apple dessert was great as well.“

“We visited last night. We were greeted right away. The service was so good. I had Shells Aurora. Simply amazing. Pasta and chicken was cooked perfectly. My boyfriend didn't see chicken marsala on the menu. only chicken parmesan.He asked and they made him the chicken marsala. So good too. We ordered wine. I had the Cabernet and he had the Pino Noir .Both wines were rich and savory. Very tasty. The floor manager even came up to make sure we were happy. That was very nice. we received the check and the server boxed up our food for us. The check really was not expensive. I paid and gave a 25% tip. I normally don't care either way with itailian resteraunts but this place was so nice. Rustic and warm atmosphere, pleasant staff, and amazing food. Will visit again for sure.“

“I just moved into the area and I decided to stop by. It felt like I was walking into an old pizza joint from the 90s, or even older. The food is delicious, the staff was friendly, and I will likely be a recurring customer for as long as I'm in West Goshen.“

“Five of us had lunch at Cafe Verdi today. I only wish we had discovered it sooner! Between us we had four different pasta dishes and 1 salmon burger. Everything was excellent- fresh, nicely presented, and delicious! The family restaurant feel, the lovely music, and the people on staff made for a most enjoyable and memorable afternoon! We will definitely return- thank you, Sylvio!“
