“Pizza was tasty and atmosphere was welcoming“

“Scalessa's gave me 2 great things. The first was the happy flashback of eating at Priori's at home. The secons was that Scalessa's food was out of this world. I had the Four Cheese Gnocchi which bards would write poems about. I cannot say enough about the awesomeness of this fine establishment! I will definitely come back when I visit my sister again.👍“

“I used Johnny Paisano’s to cater a holiday party. I had an amazing experience from the very beginning. I spoke with Christine who helped me place the order, and helped me to decide the best options for my menu. One of my options was a prime rib, where I received a phone call from Johnny himself to help me figure out the best way to prepare it for the party. When it was time to retrieve the food on the day of the party, everyone I dealt with was friendly and helpful. Johnny once again came out and was talking with me about the food. I appreciate this aspect of a business, it makes you feel like you’re in a friendly environment, rather than a sterile kitchen. The food quality was amazing. Every platter was delicious, and every guest was happy with how the food turned out. The prime rib was the largest hit, not surprisingly. I couldn’t believe the value of everything as well. Please use Johnny Paisano’s for your next event, they will not disappoint at all, and will go above and beyond to make sure all your needs are met!“

“The small plates were delicious and beautiful, nice atmosphere and Maria our server was outstanding. It was a very enjoyable dinner and they made my husband's birthday special.“

“We had an amazing private there on Sunday with 60 people! They were accommodating, flexible and easy to work with. The food was delish!!!“

“Absolutely love V&M's. Their Margarita pizza reminds me of fresh pizza in Italy. Lovely people who always greet you with a smile! One of our favorite places to dine in and take out!“

“Bar Avalon always delivers! The food, service, and ambiance are consistently amazing. We tried the wine and dinner pairing for the first time last night and were blown away—perfectly matched courses and a knowledgeable waitress made it a standout experience. A perfect date night. We’ll definitely be doing it again!“

“My group of five just returned from lunch at Di Paolo’s and, my goodness, they absolutely nailed it. Our server, Eri, was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and genuinely fun—he made the whole experience feel personal rather than just another lunch service.

The fall cocktail menu deserves its own mention: creative, extensive, and delish. The Pumpkin Spice White Russian was the unanimous favorite at our table.

Most of us went with the three-course lunch special for just $20 (with one holdout who understandably couldn’t resist the famous crabcake), and we were truly impressed. Soup or salad, an entree, AND dessert for $20 feels almost suspiciously generous these days. The salads were fresh and flavorful, portions were substantial. The spicy rigatoni was excellent, just the right amount of heat. The salmon and shrimp entree was another table favorite.

And perhaps the smartest part of the whole deal: leaving with a delicious dessert. Lunch now, little treat later. Perfect.

A huge thank you to Eri for the great recommendations and stellar service. Excellent food, creative drinks, generous portions, and an experience that felt genuinely welcoming from start to finish. Five stars all around—we’ll absolutely be back.“

“Wonderful food and service was amazing. Our servers Linda and Brenda were awesome. Will definitely be back. It’s our third time here!!“

“One of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time! Everything was delicious. Roz and Rocco's chef is a pro, and the waitress was congenial, and on point! The restaurant is a whimsical, eclectic blend that combines a traditional "family home style" celebratory vibe showcasing the owner's Italian grandmother's recipes. I am a salmon snob, and "Roz and Roccos" delivered: my salmon was cooked to perfection with that delicious crispy top layer that I love. The fresh charred, roasted broccoli had that brilliant green color with the right amount of tenderness and crispiness that made it so yummy. Our table of seven agreed that the food was bursting with unique flavors, as we passed around our plates to sample the entrees. Rox and Rocco's is a festive restaurant and I could feel "Grandma's love" with every bite.. So glad we picked this restaurant for Mother's Day.“

“Had dinner there last night.The Salmon was awesome.Great service and nice atmosphere.The manager couldn't be any nicer.10 stars in my eyes.“

“I hosted a family Christmas party here on a Sunday from 11am to 2pm. The food and service were outstanding. Nicole was the point of contact as well as the bartender. She did an amazing job. I highly recommend using Dom & Mia's for your next event.“

“On our way back from doing a last-minute Estimate We had the absolute privilege of being broken down in front of their restaurant! The owner and staff both asked if we needed anything and offered beverages! Very very welcoming establishment, staff, owner! So amazing to be treated so nicely even though we were an inconvenience to parking! Thank you again for your kindness! Mike, Raniyah!“

“Excellent good & drinks. Great service. Beautiful decor.“

“We attended a Holiday party there, we were blown away by the atmosphere, food and staff“

“Best gnocchi in a rosa sauce! Easy online ordering and super friendly staff.“

“The service and food were terrific—10 out of 10! The room itself was very small and packed to the brim with tables and chairs. If you’re planning a small gathering, this might be the perfect place for you. For a larger group, however, the tight space could be a challenge.“

“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.“

“I have been going there from the age of 3 or 2 ye,s Old..."PNM thanks. I miss the food. I live in the middle west now.“

“😀We went there last night and it was AMAZING , food ,service ,selection , . Outstanding . Dan Is on firer & paying great attention to his food & guest . Once again one of the best in Wilmington .“

“We recently hosted a Baby Shower at Fellini’s - and to say they outdid themselves would be an understatement! Anthony was AMAZING to work with from the beginning- very communicative, listened to our vision and helped us bring it to life- including creating menu items they don’t typically serve! Day of, Anthony, his wife and the staff were nothing short of amazing! And the food was RAVED about! We cant thank Anthony and Fellini Cafe enough for the beautiful space, delicious food, incredible hospitality and memories we will have for a lifetime!“

“I just made a pizza in my kitchen oven using a Toscana Pizza Kit. Simply perfect! This is the first time that I have been able to create a round pizza with out a rolling pin. The sauce and cheese supplied with the kit are more than is needed. I think I will be doing this every Friday! RGDS, Kevin Koob Springfield, PA“

“The owners are really nice and serve all of the food themselves.

The bread is great and the sauce was really flavorful. The arrancini balls were good.

The pasta was a bit dense and the gnocchi had a slightly weird taste to it.

The carpet makes the restaurant feel very mildewey and has a smell to it.“

“Food was absolutely delicious ? & Rosemary our waitress very nice and helpful. My honey took me here for a date. We love to experience new spots and I love byob“
