The chicken picatta was so, so good- just the right amount of lemony goodness. The Marsala was my husband's favorite- he's said it's some of the best he's had. My daughter said her veal was delicious. Get the cannoli- even if you don't normally like cannolis. My daughter loved her gooey snickerdoodle butter cake topped with ice cream. The decor and staff are everything you want in a family-owned Italian restaurant. There was Sinatra music playing and My Cousin Vinny on the TV - it was great. There is indoor and outdoor seating. It is a small restaurant with limited seating. If you are pressed, make a reservation. Don't go here, if you want quick, impersonal service. Street parking, just a heads up.

I know this may be an unpopular opinion but honestly I thought this was just average Italian food…read more I'd go again because there wasn't anything wrong with it but I wasn't wow'd. I tried the meatball appetizer - it was decent but not really anything special. For dinner I had the chicken parm in a blush sauce which came with a side of gnocchi and my dining partner had grandmas Sunday gravy, again both decent. We skipped dessert because it was a decent amount of food. The other thing I'll mention is you're going to want to make reservations if you go. The entire restaurant seats what seems like 30 people.

Neon beer signs? Yes! I sat at the bar and was treated like an old friend by the bartender. I ordered veal parmigiana, choosing to start with Italian wedding soup and picking ravioli for my side. The soup was warm and light, almost like starting a Japanese meal with miso. Veal parm was exactly what you'd expect, but I'd always had it with spaghetti and not ravioli. It paired really nicely with the cheesy ravioli! Then, the coup de grace -- tiramisu and espresso to keep me awake for the rest of the drive. The tiramisu was also light, even with its healthy whipped cream allotment. Delish! This was an excellent recommendation by gpt -- I'll be back!

They also had a really fun brunch menu, the only thing lacking was the execution on some of the food. It was all good but not amazing. The eggs Benedict was unique with the extra fluffy hollandaise but it was overly citrusy and salty. I liked that it had the option of a side salad. We also got the beignet to share and they were way too dense to be called a beignet. It was a powdered sugar scone. Good but not a beignet. Overall nice spot but I would rush back for the food.

On Wednesday it's only $6 a glass. I tend to go for a ravioli. The first time there I had the mushroom ravioli, which was absolute perfection tonight I had the lobster ravioli, which was still very good. The bread they bring out at the beginning is absolutely delicious with the infused oil on the table, although I do wish they had cracked pepper. It is a very loud place to eat, but it feels festive and not annoying. The desserts are also very good. If you want to eat somewhere that focuses on quality and not pretentious nonsense , this is the place for you

This place was featured on it! The home feeling to this place is awesome! They treat you like one of their own family members. It is decorated with family photos throughout and tons of awards for the Delaware/Wilmington area! It feels like a true italian family setting. Now for the food..... They bring you out what feels like a loaf of italian bread! I go here specifically to purchase the Guy Fieri Favorite ...and let me tell you, he's not wrong. Beef Braciole, homemade meatballs, sausage, meat ravioli, cheese ravioli, and spaghetti. Homemade traditional red sauce. The pasta is made every morning. I can't rave about this dish enough! The Chicken Alfredo comes with 2 cutlets. The homemade Alfredo sauce is also fantastic. You will definitely need a to go box! Now lets talk about the soup. Simple, but such a great item. This soup has to be the cure to the common cold. It takes you back to grandma's house as a kid eating chicken broth with noodles. The difference is the homemade pasta pearls.

The restaurant is dark and vibey, and the house music is pretty loud so it may be difficult to hear others if you have a large party. -- I loved the burrata poptart! It was so perfectly flaky and fluffy, and the seasoning on top complemented the creamy burrata inside. It's topped with a sweet onion jam. It's the perfect balance of savory and sweet. -- The pork ribs fell off the bone, but they were bland. The accompanying green goddess dressing was a nice accompaniment, but even with that I was craving more flavor. The crispy tenkasu provided a nice texture contrast. -- The Australian Wagyu Hanger is supposed to be served medium rare but the steak I received was very undercooked, making the dish pretty chewy and unenjoyable. I did really enjoy the celery relish and two sauces. The steak was seasoned well. -- The Peach Bellini dessert was the best bite of the night -- it was perfectly balanced and so refreshing. The peach is subtle and the citrus shaved ice contrasts the creamy panna cotta well.

This place would give any fancy pancy place a run for its money. We had the Greek & Italian Salad special. I am not exaggerating when I say it was the best salad we have ever had. Everything in that salad was at it's peak of freshness. Just amazing. Husband had Eggplant Parm and said it was the best. Cut very thin and crispy with the freshest tomato marinara. I got the ravioli stuffed to perfection with a nice al dente bite and also fresh marinara. We saved room for banana bread served with banana ice cream and so happy we did. Cake was so moist and ice cream was delicious. The house Chianti was perfection and the waitress could not have been more personable or more attentive. This was a dream dinner.
