So, I've been here twice in one week, and I'll actually be here again this week. My first…read moreexperience was a 3 pm booking on a Saturday, a light and quieter ambiance. And the food was delicious! They filled up fast after 4.30, so I do recommend reservations. Last night my reservation were for 6.30 pm. They were PACKED, so we didn't get seated til 7. Even tho there was a table available on the lower level. No biggie, up top is better. 7.10 I asked for water, and to have my wine opened, which we eventually opened because we actually had a cork screw :) and we eventually got water, they were definitely run off their feet not equipped for the seatings they had. Ho hum. The acoustics when crowded make conversations difficult, and to hear the specials, ( which were the same as a week ago) I had to ask our lovely waitress to come closer. All of these things are not complaints, just info on my experiences. The entrees are incredible, great portions and HOT! The starters, were not so hot temp wise, two of the items ordered, Arancini and the famous crab bites. However, if you look at customer pics, menu pics, there are FIVE balls, we were served THREE! That was disappointing, let me add, even tho it's a BYOB, the menu price points are $$$! Which brings me to desert, yip we did the full monty ... my creme bruelee, ( A favorite) was teeny tiny, served in the tiniest of dish, not like the photos at all and way DRY and Stodgey and the pistachio Ricotta cake was a sliver not much thicker than my thumb. And EXPENSIVE $25 for both! My one guest asked for a scoop of ice-cream of Gelato, our server in this Italian restaurant said, sorry, we don't serve anything frozen. Hmmm look at the pics of the menu! Sadly I didn't ake pictures of the deserts, but take my word! I did take entree pics, but I only have the one to share without people in them. So I'll post that one. After all that, Do I recommend OA, Yes! So, if you go, please go with my review in mind, truth be told, order mindfully, and skip desert! The staff kicks you know what! PS the gorgonzolla gnocchi is out of this world, add protein for an extra bang, and buck.;)

After unhappily leaving a nearby restaurant that we had reservations for, we took the short drive…read moreto Testa Rossa to give it a try. We didn't have reservations but were still able to sit outside on their enclosed patio with a tinkling fountain. We were delighted to find on a Wednesday that they were still having happy hour specials all day and even had a 3-course price fixed. My daughter and I loved the Gondola Ride with citrus vodka and limoncello. It was a refreshing, summertime drink. For the 3-course price fixed, we tried the lasagna noodle soup which was unique and delicious. My corn cappellacci (not on the price-fixed menu) was a new entree. The pasta was light and airy, and the corn and shrimp made it a tasty dish perfect for a summer night. For dessert, the gelato twist with banana was heavenly. Our lovely server even made sure to put a birthday candle in our daughter's dessert as it was her birthday. We'll be back!

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.

When we walked in we were greeted by a very friendly woman who asked us if we were a party they were expecting lol. We said we were just walk-ins. She said she'd check with the chef about food? lol strange? But came back and to our surprised seated us. There was a table for 6, table for 3 and our table of 2 available. We ordered straight out meals- Tortorlini à la vodka, and Gnocchi Pomo. The ambiance was so lovely, sweet and a real feeling of being in a restaurant in Capri Italy! Our waitress, the same who greeted us, was a hoot! She brought out our food and refilled our water glasses to the top! Loved it! Wow everything tasted fresh, delicious and so Italian!! The Gnocchi was soft, the sauce had a nice kick to it and the topping of cream was so flavorful, wished for more!! My mouth watering now as I type lol! The only bad thing was no bread basket to sop up all that good sauce! The tortolini was fresh tasting too. You could really taste the difference between dry tortolini and fresh kind! I don't fancy vodka sauce but must say this was good! This plate was also topped with that delicious dollop of cream . The price of pasta dishes compared to portions was on the higher end. It was just the pasta no vegetables or protein. Food was delicious but wouldn't come back as it's not in my budget.

Fast-forward to this week and find out upon arrival they updated menu while back and never updated the website. Almost every one of the delicious items that we ordered in May were gone there was no chicken dish, and the prices of everything had gone up significantly. Burrata, Caesar salad, sangria very good. However fusilli with sweet sausage was actually hot / spicy sausage and didn't have much flavor. Tortellini was a huge disappointment. Shrimp dish was ok but really heavy noodles / pasta I actually didn't order an entree. Environment and ambience are nice but spending couple hundred dollars and not getting what we were so looking forward too was extremely disappointing. Others did not want to leave bc we already sat down otherwise there a several other great options right by. Call and confirm their menu - I asked them to update website.

Our mistake was eating at the bar. The bartender( is there such a word now?) didn't seem too be interested in waiting on us, after we had our water. Was busy talking to a couple exclusively, who decided it was their right to talk as loud as they wanted. Finely we tracked him down to order. To be fair, he was making drinks, for others. He did bring us our bread, as requested( he didn't ask). When meals came, by other servers, he didn't come back to see if we needed anything. I understand it is a bar, but, we have had other servers more attentive. My husband asked for pepper, after getting wrong one( black instead of red) , my husband doesn't always define his requests, tried to get the " bartenders" attention, to get the right pepper. Took several minutes, even though the bar wasn't that crowded. To make things worse, a 4- some came in, & sat next to our area, & proceeded to talk as loud as they wanted. I heard every discussion about their children. So my advice, get a table if you want to enjoy your meal. Oh one other thing. The music! All we heard was " thump, thump". Why do restaurants have to have music? We have been to some very nice restaurants that do have music, but low, & soft. My one irritation.

This was a very underwhelming dining experience. There was no hostess when I arrived and after…read morewaiting 5 minutes to be acknowledged, I flagged down a waitress to be seated. While the food was not very good, I have to say my waitress was very kind and her service was spectacular. However, I ordered the eggplant Parmesan sandwich and it was very stale. I could tell it was reheated rather than freshly made. Not what you want for $15. The bread also came out very cold and I had to ask to have it heated up. However, The sun-dried tomato oil that comes with the bread was delicious. I am sure that with some tweaks to the food and interior this could be a great restaurant. I may stop by to give them another chance!

Our waiter was kind and attentive, which was impressive given the obvious crowds during an especially busy day. We ordered some bruschetta to start, which is divine with the a nice bite of cheese and sweet tomatoes. We also ordered some mushroom soup, a staple of Kennett Square, which was SO good. This might've been the highlight for me. It was rich and flavorful without being heavy. For my entree, I ordered the seafood pasta special, which was gorgeous and colorful with shrimp, clams, and mussels in a lobster cream sauce. It was creamy and the fish was very fresh. I didn't pay this time, but it was a bit on the pricier end with entrees ranging from $25-$35. I really loved it here.

After reading the reviews, we decided to give this place a try…read more Upon entering, the restaurant is small and casual, with plush black booths lining the leftmost wall and tables seating up to 2-4 people sitting by the window. The walls are red with a black wainscoting paneling and framed pictures, sconces, and a small wine rack can be found on the red part of the wall. The ordering counter is also nearby and has a display case with pizza pies in it. We were immediately seated after arriving and ordered the following: Medium holiday veggie pizza, which has mushrooms, spinach, broccoli, ricotta, green peppers, and diced tomatoes. We didn't realize that the pizza didn't have red sauce but we still liked it. Hubs said that he needs to read the menu closer next time when ordering pizza. This wasn't the first time we accidentally got a no sauce pizza. LOL. Daughter and I shared Vongole, which is linguini tossed with 12-15 little neck clams with your choice of white or red sauce. She chose red sauce. We also got a choice of soup and she chose pasta fagioli. She liked the clams and said that the entree was nice and saucy. I prefer white clam sauce, though. So, I will try that next time. Fried calamari- calamari golden fried squid with side of homemade sauce. I liked that the calamari wasn't breaded. This is my favorite type of calamari. We should've ordered linguini on the side and this was Hubs' favorite dish of the night. The place filled up quickly after we arrived. Hubs had been wanting to try Italian food in Delaware. This place is located in a strip mall so there's plenty of parking. We were expecting it to be a fancy restaurant when we saw the exterior and were pleasantly surprised that it was a pizzeria. The place felt very homey and we loved it. Service was quick and friendly. Will definitely return when in the area to try other items on the menu!

We've enjoyed their pasta and pizza, and the garlic knots are a must. It can be hard to get a table during peak hours and there isn't really room to wait inside. If you have a choice of booths, I'd recommend heading toward the back, as it's further from the takeout pickup area and the front can get chilly during the cooler months from the door being opened frequently. Additionally, they have wine though it's a limited selection.
