“A nice little pizza shop, I’m happy to have found today at work. They serve a crisp thin crust pizza that isn’t too heavy on the sauce or cheese, and therefore not overly greasy as well. (I know pizza is subjective but that’s exactly how I like it). I thought it was delicious and will likely try a sandwich next time. I’d love to see a chicken ceasar wrap on the menu someday, but there’s plenty of options there now. Very friendly people, and fair prices too. It appears to be take-out only, but there’s a few outdoor tables for nice weather. Ample parking, order from the kiosk inside, credit accepted/cash appreciated. Highly recommended.“
“We arrived early and were immediately seated. The server was friendly and knowledgeable and was very attentive to us. We ordered our dinners and enjoyed large portions. My seafood dinner (Zappa de Pesce) was delicious. My wife ordered Amalfitana and was very pleased. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone. Definitely worth the trip.“
“Sovana Bistro is a great venue for a small party. I was there years ago for a bridal shower and recently for a baby shower. The private room we were in was comfortable and bright even on a rainy day. Guests were seated at long tables, and food was on a buffet table.“
“La Fia always delivers. The menu is season and each dish is always an amazing combination of flavors and texture. Get any of their pasta dishes, for years they are packed with such inventive flavors and the pasta is expertly cooked al dente. The duck confit has been on the menu for years and we never tire of it. Same for the octopus. La Fia has been our favorite restaurant for years.“
“It's been a minute since we've been here. It has changed a lot. For the better. Seated promotly, they do try to push the bar tab. It's kinda expected and up to the customer to say yes or no. I had one. It was delicious! I ordered the veal tenders. I ordered without mushrooms and there was no oroblem. OMG! So nice and tasty. I brought some home for next days lunch. He had the veal chop. He enjoyed it. Lots if food but we wanted some salad. One salad and two plates. Who knew? It worked out great. The service was excellent. This used to be a quiet place to have dinner. They've added tables and it's much more lively. Everyone seemed happy and upbeat. We will be back. Yummy!“

“Scalessa’s is exactly as it sounds. Old school Italian Sunday dinner style meals & sandwiches. The Chicken Marsala is the best I’ve ever had in my life. Try it with a side of gnocchi (delicious) or even their spaghetti. The chicken cutlet with broccoli rabe sandwich is delicious. The staff is always friendly. The chefs are beyond skilled. Don’t forget to grab a butter cake before you leave.“
“The food is absolutely amazing. The four of us shared several dishes and deserts, and each was more delicious than the last. Incredible!Service was spot-on, and the atmosphere was inviting and romantic. I highly, HIGHLY recommend this place.“
“The restaurant is near a corporate center and has a large parking lot. The main room where we sat was very noisy. The server was excellent and the food was delicious. My husband had the lasagna and I had the acorn agnolotti. Amazing Italian bread too. And they have a little market onsite filled with items to purchase. I would definitely recommend and return.“
“The food was fantastic! I recommend the calamari for an appetizer. Prime rib special was out of this world. It paired well with their signature old fashioned. To finish things off, I enjoyed the apple strudel dessert. The service was wonderful. Food was perfectly prepared and executed. Same goes for the drinks. I really enjoyed date night dining with my wife here.“
“Stopped in for a quick lunch on a rainy Friday afternoon. Was greeted by the pleasant staff and seated right away. Ordered the lunch special, minestrone soup and roast pork sandwich. The food was reasonably priced and served within minutes of ordering.The minestrone was just perfect for the chilly weather and was very hearty and delicious. The sandwich was also very tasty, and the salad was well dressed (usually I ask for dressing on the side but forgot this time and was not an issue at all). Looking forward to my next visit!“
“The buffet on Thursday night is absolutely the best food I have ever seen on a buffet, anywhere! The fresh salads, huge sweet crab legs, and I think my favorite is the homemade ravioli. Can't wait to come back. The servers are the best! Kudos to Elvis.“
“So I just found this jewel. I will go back but with more people. Being from NY i know great food and atmosphere and this place Tops the list. The music was not loud and all the staff was great. But I will enjoy the rooftop in the spring.Parking: Park on the street before 7pm and you will get a spot“
“First time there for our daughter's birthday. Good friends with us for the dinner as well and the overall feeling is that everyone thought all dinners were amazing. I personally had the seafood alla vodka which was great. Shared a limoncello cake for dessert and again, amazing. Josiah was our server and was absolutely the best!“
“The food was outstanding. we had the crab bisque and a beet salad. For our entrées, we had a pesto risotto with burrata & sausage and chicken genovese... they were both great ! We also tried one of their pizzas just for future reference each had a slice and took the remainder home. The pizza was really good. The food could've possibly come out a little slower meaning the courses, but probably being a little picky. The atmosphere was very pleasant. You forgot you were in a strip mall. I felt like the noise was perfect for Saturday night that's saying a lot. But the restaurant had many customers. my only ding would be they desperately need a hostess to greet you at the door. We had a reservation for 730 and although they did acknowledge us, it was sort of like when they were walking by. Considering the high-level of everything else I'm sure they're on the lookout for a few hostesses or hosts. We will definitely be returning and I've already recommended it to other people.“
“I had dinner for the second time and it was just as good as the first time. Emma was our waitress and she was so sweet and attentive. Three of us split the calamari appetizer, had drinks, dinners and desserts. All of us were happy with our choices.“
“Went there for an early dinner. The place was fairly empty when we got the but began to fill up rather quickly. We had got lucky with road parking (the garage is right around the corner). Service was good, and the food was delicious. Everyone at the table was satisfied with the meal. A bit expensive, but worth the money from what we experienced.Kid-friendliness: They had highchairs, but no booster seats. We sat at a booth and it worked well with the little one.“
“Wilmington's Trolley Square has long been a haven for delicious discoveries, but Gaudiello's Italian Hoagies takes the crown for their porchetta sub. This isn't just a sandwich; it's a symphony of textures and flavors, a testament to the art of Italian charcuterie.The star, of course, is the porchetta. The impossibly crisp skin yields to layers of juicy, herb-infused pork. Each bite is a concerto of savory richness, the perfect harmony of fat and lean. Gaudiello's doesn't drown this masterpiece in unnecessary embellishments. A touch of garlicky broccoli rabe adds a delightful bitterness, while sharp provolone cheese cuts through the richness. A hint of peppery seasoning pulls everything together, leaving you wanting more.The bread, a perfect balance of crusty and yielding, deserves its own applause. It cradles the fillings without crumbling, providing the ideal platform for each mouthful. Every element sings in perfect pitch, resulting in a chorus of pure satisfaction.Gaudiello's porchetta sub isn't just lunch; it's an experience. It's a love letter to slow roasting, a celebration of artisanal ingredients. In a world of over-stuffed monstrosities, this sub is a masterclass in balance and restraint. If you find yourself in Wilmington, don't miss this operatic masterpiece. Just be prepared to stand in ovation – this porchetta will have you applauding with every delicious bite.“
“Absolutely some of the best tasting and closest to homemade Italian food I’ve had yet. Absolutely perfect to dine in or order out, my old Italian Nonna loves to order from here when she doesn’t feel like cooking. Love this place so much, the interior and atmosphere is amazing and the food is even better. I always get the ravioli and it’s delicious every time. Parking isn’t ideal, then again that is not the restaurant’s fault. Wish I could go here more often, definitely a favorite spot.“
“Their cheese pizza is the best. They have few veggie options. They are a fast paced place so be ready to move quickly. Don’t take offense to that. They are just trying to move the crowd along during busy hour. We have order them for large kids party and they have always worked with us to accommodate. Would recommend to go here just for their cheese pizza. Their Greek salad is good.“
“First of all Danielle is an exceptional server! She made our already great experience better. This place has great food and great prices, it’s cheaper than the other Italian joint down the street and twice as good! Everything was fresh, abundant and filling! You won’t leave hungry or wanting more. The homemade pasta is a must, so is the fig appetizer. We just found out new favorite spot in town and isn’t nearly the most expensive! Best service in town too. P“
“Food was outstanding, you can tell all of the pasta is made in house, from the gnocchi, to the ravioli it was all flavorful and delicious. The seating can be a little cramped in some areas but that tends to be how most restaurants in WC’s historical buildings are. Would definitely recommend Dolce Zola to any Italian lovers or for a great date night meal.“
“Wonderful drinks and dinner at Portobellos Kenneth Square. A pear cocktail, very fruity and tasty. A Bailey's, Kahlua and Fireball that was delicious. A mushroom and Jim Beam Manhattan, smoky and did have a mushroom background. We started with mushroom arancini, cheesy and mushroomy. The clams Avalon, their take on clams casino, but are so much better. The clams are definitely the star, not killed with an overabundance of bread crumbs, and the clams are left whole, not minced. Tender, chewy and clammy with their liquor still in the shell. The saucy ravioli is mushroomy and creamy. The crispy duck with cherry sauce is fall off the bone tender. All in all a great birthday dinner.“
“We had the pleasure of eating at Sam's last week on a business trip to Downingtown. He opened the place in 1976 and it maintains that same vibe. My colleague and I both ordered a pizza cheese steak with pepperoni, onions and mushrooms. Wow! The bread and the love that went into making it! Make sure to save room for a stop at Sam's next time you're in town!“
“I was impressed with this restaurant before even trying it out! When I looked this place up, just the pictures alone blew me away!So, when I actually went to see if it met up to my expectations, it surpassed them ? I now love this restaurant!“
“I am Holly's husband we went to Pastabilities on Saturday night with our son and his fiancee. Everything we ate was on point! From the appetizers, entrees to desert! We found the service to be excellent, Otis was our waiter and he couldn't have been more friendly or professional. Everything we ordered was freshly made and delicious. We will definitely be back Luigi serves some of the best Italian food I ever ate since my Grandmothers cooking!“
“Santinos is our new go to spot thanks to Nicole! She makes it such a welcoming, homey environment.. she truly remembers her customers and makes sure they are taken care of while you're here! AND she makes the most incredible (orange) cosmo! Great food, great drinks and even better company! Highly recommend!“
“Their food is great but they don't accept ENT benefits and it's not fair to Americans on public assistance who don't extra money for food especially homeless people on Snap who only have these places to eat at they need to catch up with the rest of the country !“
“Our server Zoe was great, she was friendly and patient while we decided, because everything on the menu sounded good and we couldn't choose! The food was excellent, highly recommend trying the zucchini fries for a starter. We did not have to wait for a table and were seated and attended to quickly despite it starting to get busier. We will be back.“
“We hosted a rehearsal dinner for 30!!! Spectacular coordination with Tim. Good servers were efficient and attentive. The delicious food from bruschetta, Caesar salad, pasta entrees and cannolis had our guests raving. Thank you so much!!! You helped us kickoff the wedding weekend for Thomas and Julia with a smile, a beaming heart and Full belly!! Molly and Joseph Oresik Reeders, PA“
“Was there for lunch this week. Food was really good and very plentiful. I had the pork sandwich. Very juicy and tender. My wife had chicken tenders and fries. Nicky prepared and presented. Our one friend had a meatball sandwich with fries and the other had a chicken but. We all left with boxes of leftovers.The service was slower than expected but a group of 12 came in right after us and had not called ahead.Have been there twice before for dinner and enjoyed both times“
“We ordered by door dash. It wasn't quick but that was fine. We had pizza and wings. Big pizza nice amount of cheese and toppings. The wings had a lot of sauce and were crunchy. Could have been meatier. Lots of leftovers! Will order again.“
“I am writing this review in hopes of receiving a response.My husband and I call in regularly to collect our favorite dishes, which is the beef lasagna and the lobster mac and cheese. The staff are friendly and helpful and the atmosphere pleasant. We think it is important to support the local economy and Toscana's has served the local community successfully for many years.There is one point of constructive feedback that we would like to offer. As a take-out item, the gelato I believe is not served authentically. Toscana's appears to be serving gelato as if it is the same as ice cream. An ice cream scooper is being used instead of a specific gelato utensil. This impacts the serving amount and the way it is presented.“
“Usually amazing, I’ve been going here for a few years and I’ve always been a huge fan. This time I was pretty disappointed in the Gallagher fries, there wasn’t much cheese or brisket so the fries were kind of dry. I still did 5 stars because I don’t want this to deter anyone from trying americas pie, it’s a great locally owned business that I hope continues to thrive but I did want to leave a review in case they read these. Thanks for all the great food over the years!“
“Indoor dining experience on a Saturday evening. We had a great meal. Service was attentive and friendly. Menu has a good selection of Italian American and Italian inspired dishes. They don’t offer anything terribly original or exciting, but that’s okay; it’s familiar comfort food at its finest. Everything was homemade and fresh. Portion sizes are perfect. Better than just your average neighborhood pizza joint.“
“This place is a hidden gem in Pennsylvania. It is a must if you are in the Philadelphia area. From the drinks, appetizers to the main entrée are simply amazing. They also made my Martini from scratch.Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free friendly“
“Finally! Great pizza near Kennett Square!!!! The owner has to be from New York because this is goooood pizza. I've gotten all types of pizza there, and it's all very good. Try grandma's pie. It actually tastes better than my grandma's pie. Don't get FOMO! Check it out!“
“Had dinner here last night for the first time. It was busy and festive with a bustling energy. The addition of a very good piano player was also very nice!There were 9 of us and our server Martin was great and attentive and helpful with ordering! We all liked our meals very much! The roasted artichokes app and the Brussels were phenomenal! I had the salmon piccata which was cooked perfectly. I also tasted the shrimp and beans- so good!!!Highly recommend this place. It’s a little loud for an intimate conversation meal. But if that’s not an issue for you this place is perfect. Will definitely go back!!Dietary restrictions: One person in our party is gluten free. They had many dishes that were able to accommodate her.“
“The rigatoni and sausage is great, as is the salmon. Both locations are very dog friendly, unlike Capers and Lemons (owned by the same folks. I make it a point to visit both Taverna locations, but will avoid Capers and Lemons, even though it is closer to my home. Highly recommend Taverna. Dog lovers? Stay away from Capers and Lemons.“
“First time going there tonight. Food was amazing. I had the chicken parm and my wife had shrimp linguini. Both meals were very good. Chicken parm was recommended by the waitress and did not disappoint. Huge portion and great taste. Shrimp linguini was great also. Their Limoncello Martini is my new favorite drink. Everything is made from scratch. Service was also great. Recommended meals based on taste and not price which was appreciated. Waitress was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable of the menu. we will definitely be going back we are already planning our next visit. I recommend anyone looking for good Italian food to try this place“
“We did not make a reservation as it was a last minute decision. It was a Saturday nite so that was our fault. We had a half hour wait. There is a small bar when you walk in and the bartender welcomes you to sit down. I only had a diet Coke and he did not charge for that in a plastic cup. Our waitress was great! Very personable. I ordered the Italian wedding soup. I have never had one with so many little meatballs! It was filling. I ordered cheese raviolis with a garlic and olive oil sauce and she asked if I wanted 6 or 8. I went for the 6 and after the soup, I saved the rest and had for lunch the next day. They are big and very good. The only issue was the time between our soup and entree was a little long. It appears to be a very popular place. Many people were celebrating birthdays etc while we were there. Most people had reservations and the longest I think I saw a party wait with reservations was maybe 10 mins. My son said it's his favorite Italian restaurant in the Wilmington area. I would definitely go again and make reservations!“
“Solid cheesesteaks, love the rolls, they don't skimp on the meat, but take a name down with every order so you don't mix them up and read the order back to the customer. I ordered a buffalo chicken cheesesteak and got a buffalo beef cheesesteak, another time I ordered 2 cheesesteaks and you thought we ordered 3.“
“Today, we had my sister's Bridal Shower at Fellini’s Cafe. Anthony & his team were wonderful from beginning to end. The venue was exactly what we needed for about 30+ ladies. Our food was absolutely delicious with plenty to take home! Tons of space for backdrop & ballons as well as specialty tables: gifts, favors, desserts, and mimosa bar!!! Thank you for a special day?“
“We have both dined in and taken out.During dine in the food has always been great. We like the pizza, chopped salad and calamari the most.During our recent take out experience, huge disappointment. The pizza was cold, like not even attempted to keep warm during the time it was made to picked up and the calamari was a bit soggy and also cold. Not likely to get take out again.Parking: Street parking on busy street or busy neighborhood side streetsWheelchair accessibility: Tight indoor space. May be hard to navigate. Can’t speak for bathroom space.“
“Always solid pizza with some unique toppings. Ricotta, sausage and long hots is my personal favorite. Tried the wings and they were very good. Also had a great superbowl deal. Fair pricing. Have been about 7 times now and have always been happy with my meal! Usually do takeout but always clean and relaxing setting inside.“
“Our experience at Olive Garden celebrating my aunt's birthday was absolutely exceptional! From the moment we stepped in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The staff went above and beyond to make the celebration memorable. As we sang "Happy Birthday," the entire team surprised us by coming out with a beautifully decorated cake for my aunt. Their genuine enthusiasm and smiles made her feel incredibly special. A special shout out to Kristin on how she managed our difficult crowd.The service throughout the lunch was outstanding; the waitstaff was attentive and accommodating, ensuring our glasses were always filled and that we had everything we needed. The food was delicious, with a wide variety of dishes that satisfied everyone's taste buds. The ambiance was perfect for a family celebration, creating a festive and joyful atmosphere. The staff was also very accomodating for our vegetarian diets.What truly set this Olive Garden experience apart was the extra effort the staff put into making my aunt's birthday unforgettable. Their attention to detail and heartfelt gestures made us feel like valued guests. We left with full hearts and satisfied appetites, grateful for the wonderful memories created at Olive Garden. We'll undoubtedly cherish this celebration for years to come. Thank you to the entire Olive Garden team for making our family gathering so extraordinary!“
“Special Monday drinks and cheesesteaks with Amigo Dan. It’s hard to find Cheesesteaks and Alcohol on a Monday. Amigo Dan thinks he is a Pizza Expert so we went to Mercato and got a Mercato Pizza and Old Fashions. We liked Mercato’s. We liked our server. We liked our Old Fashions very much. I liked all of the ingredients that make the Mercato Pizza and just did not like them together as a pizza. The egg freaked me out.“
“The family that owns this restaurant is awesome and they go above and beyond to produce quality delicious food. Every time I’m in the West Chester area and I’m craving a cheese steak, wings or pizza I choose Vanos!Parking: Plenty of spots to park.Kid-friendliness: The whole family owned establishment has a friendly inviting atmosphere and is ran by great people.Wheelchair accessibility: Definitely wheelchair accessible!“
“The food was really good and the server was friendly and helpful. They had outdoor dining with live music which made for a great evening. Will definitely come back. Only downside was that their last seating was 7:45, we got there at 7, and they were packing up tables before 8 so we felt like we got the bums rush out of there.“
“Seating was right on time with our reservation. The staff were warm and welcoming. Menu was well rounded and the food was delicious. Pricing was a bit high, but not enough to bypass next time. * complimentary valet parking was fine, but unexpected *“
