La Fia in Wilmington is an absolute gem and the perfect spot for dinner with friends…read more The hospitality was wonderful from start to finish. Our server was so accommodating, especially given that one of our friends is vegan. Her attentiveness made the whole evening feel so much more personal. The ambiance was everything. Warm, inviting and just the right energy that we needed. For starters we shared the warm rosemary focaccia, the herb brioche beignets and the tuna tartare. The focaccia and beignets came out so fresh and were honestly dangerous to have at the table because we couldn't stop eating them. The tuna tartare was also really delicious. For my main I went with the braised beef short rib and it was incredibly tender. The accompanied rice porridge was the perfect pairing and really rounded out the dish. To finish things off, I had the chocolate torte for dessert and it hit the spot perfectly! Everything at La Fia was really good! If you are looking for a great dinner spot in Wilmington, La Fia is the move!

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.

Resident with bumper sticker that says, "Who would Jesus bomb?" on a BMW Mini. 3.) Walking our dogs down the street, 11pm, after the "Great Garage Sale." We pass unsold garage sale stuff piled at the street (for trash) at a Victorian apartment house. Some bearded guy in bare feet is lying on the lawn in the dark. He jumps up (scares the s#*! out of us) and says, "See something you like?" (totally serious, trying to make a late-night trash sale) 4.) Gorgeous architecture everywhere! Gothic, Victorian, Arts & Crafts, Georgian, Italianate, Colonial, Colonial Revival, Dutch Colonial, Queen Anne, Neoclassical, Edwardian, Federal, Shingle Style, Shotgun, Foursquare, Prairie, Modern, Second Empire, etc. And interesting history! (*See Minshall House and Dr. Samuel D. Risley House on Wiki!) 5.) People take the whole day off to have a boozing lawn party during the annual Media 5 Mile Race. 6.) Witnessing a car drive 15mph around the corner of 6th and Olive, then run up onto the curb, against a tree, and fall onto its driver side, stuck completely up on its end, driver wasted and unconscious. Called police, and was asked to approach and determine if driver needed emergency help. Are you f-ing kidding me? NOT my job! The dude pretty clearly needs help, STAT, no matter what.

Total $300 which DIDN'T include the tip or drinks, SO it was actually a $400 evening, I chose the fillet mignon which was wrapped in a dough pastry and I must say that I was pretty disappointed because when you order fillet, who the hell serves it well done??? That's exactly what I got, a well done filet mignon wrapped in dough (Shameful)..... which wasn't all that great. My date got the mushroom ravioli, which was OK at best I guess. What I'm trying to say is it just wasn't worth dropping $400 for 2 people ( waaay overpriced, hence my disappointment and truthful review) because it was Valentine's Day....... the entertainment was crappy too, some guy who played piano and trumpet and I couldn't even hear him in the room I was in so basically ZERO entertainment I definitely won't be going back here based on this experience, sorry to report.

When we finished our meals I knew that the chef had a real talent for understanding food and I mean really understanding the culinary arts. I told him that I would be writing a review and compared him to Daniel Boulud. I still agree with this statement from what I remember about the meal but it's been a long time coming. My mom ordered the mushroom soup and normally I'm not a fan of mushroom soup but this was INCREDIBLE. The flavors were exquisite and the soup was creamy and the ingredients were fresh. I myself ordered the pasta dish at the time and it was creamy and delicious and flavorful. I know that the rest of my party enjoyed their meals and I knew I needed to speak to the chef. I'm glad I did. He was really nice.

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!
