    The Lewes w/ Long Hots

    Best Italian and cheesesteak in the area. I'm sure that their other food is just as equally awesome, but I cannot stop ordering just those two, so good!

    Amazing homestyle taste of Philly! Fantastic pizza, rice balls, and the meatballs are to die for! Haven't sampled the cheesesteaks yet, but they look fantastic . Shelves are stocked with hard to find Italian specialties, this is a hidden gem in the outlet corner behind Applebee's.

    Very nice Italian market with all the goods. They use fresh high quality ingredients and is always delicious. The owner Doug invested a lot of time and money to make this a quality establishment. The cannolis are homemade and absolutely hit hard. Italian hoagie is on point. Sicilian slices are filling and delicious

We had the 1/2 portion Bolognese and Lobster pasta dishes. Fantastic. The broccolini was very good too. The full version of the pasta dishes were big so you may want to consider avoiding appetizers if you order them. The atmosphere in this restaurant is very pristine , warm and inviting. The service was perfect and highly professional. The main dining room can get noisy with a full crowd. They do offer reservations through Open Table with no deposit required. There was no off street parking so it may be a challenge to park nearby during the Summer months. We will definitely be back here for dinner when in Rehoboth Beach.

We made a reservation about two weeks in advance, and were promptly seated when we arrived. Wendy was our server, and she was absolutely awesome. The atmosphere and vibe was great, and while it was crowded the arrangement of our table made it easy to chat and connect. The cocktail menu was impressive, and Wendy was great with a recommendation. I had the chicken parmesan, which was also a recommendation, and what a feast it was. Next time, we are going to try dessert as well, but what a fabulous place and an awesome meal. We loved it!

I honestly enjoyed the caesar salad and Pepperoni pizza a lot. Service wasn't super speedy, but it was acceptable, the drink menu is long and the wines by the glass are good, and nice and cold for this spot, and the pizza is tasty. No it's not your NY amazing pizza, it is floppy, and it lacks the char that I would really really want, but it's the best pizza I've had in Delaware. Come with the family, a bit of patience, and enjoy!

When we arrived a few minutes after noon, we were the only patrons. We ordered the eggplant stack and a carbonara "sorta" pizza. The eggplant stack was like a deconstructed eggplant parmesan . The eggplant was perfectly fried and the ricotta mix in between the fried eggplant was flavorful. I would return for this alone! And yet when they brought out the pizza, I was mesmerized. I've never eaten peas on a pizza before and this was just divine! Cheesy pizza with slices of ham, dollops of more of the delicious flavored ricotta on top. WOW. Vibe was cool. Red checked table cloth and those big ol' plastic cups à la my favorite pizza joint from when I was a kid in NJ. Lots of Dalmatian art inside.

It was a 10 person table they did a makeshift on. My fault, I should've left then. Service was fine. Food was awful. 1) Worst bruschetta I ever had. Sour tomato vinegar disaster. 2) Meatballs were cold. 3) Salad was an embarrassment. Just lettuce. 4) Pepperoni pizza was brutally overcooked. Sent back. They couldn't guarantee that the next one wouldn't come out the same. 5) I actually wanted the Chicken Marsala but it was one of the many things they were out of at 5:30pm. I ended up sharing my wife's margherita pizza, which was no big shakes. 120 dollars later (even after they took off my pizza) we left hungry. Seriously...nothing was good. Plus...I'm not sure what was going on inside but it was brutally hot. All in all, I won't be back for a while. A long while.

The Lasagna was served in a very generous portion. Having not had Gnocchi since I was very young, it took me back to days long ago in NY. While the entrées were delicious, I was disappointed when I found out the NY Style Cheesecake was made in-house and the wedge served to me was undercooked, slightly runny, missing the tart afterbite of known NY Cheesecake (Juniors as an example). It wasn't bad but it certainly wasn't the quality I would expect a Bronx native to sell in a family owned Italian restaurant.

It's in the heart of town, but on quiet Wilmington Ave. (parallel to and a block away from Rehoboth Ave.). There are no reservations, but it's worth every minute of the wait (and waiting in the bustling bar area is great as the accommodating staff will get you drink no matter where you're sitting or standing). The oyster selection is always changing with a few new entries likely each day and they're always interesting and delicious. The regular menu has so much to offer that it's impossible to pick favorites, but the crab cakes and lobster roll are amazing; the fried oysters are great and the ever-changing fish options are always tasty. An heirloom tomato salad was fantastic. The environment is lively and fun. The staff is always friendly and top notch. Shout out to Amy at the bar, who always remembers faces, and Ethan at the oyster bar, who is friendly and seems to really enjoy his job.

Definitely a great find in Rehoboth Beach -- I'd happily come back and work my way through more of the menu!
