    The food is outstanding here. This might be the best in Wilmington. My wife and I both had a pasta dish that simply melted in our mouths. The service was friendly, steady, and didn't rush you while keeping your drinks filled. We really enjoyed our dining experience here.

    Food was spectacular. Service was terrific. I’d give 5stars except they jammed too many tables into too small a space. We could have eaten off the plates of the couples on either side of us. It was hard to have a conversation, impossible to have a private one.

    I selected this restaurant for my anniversary celebration and we were not disappointed. Its location in downtown Wilmington is perfect for a before or after dinner if you’re attending one of the many entertainment venues nearby. There’s plenty of available parking and lots of pedestrian friendly shops and restaurants nearby. We were seated promptly and service was friendly and efficient. The menu offered a good variety of appetizers and entrees, including multiple pasta dishes and protein choices. We split an order of fig bruschetta to start, which was an adequate portion for the two of us. For entrees I had the pork concoction and my wife had the sea bass. All of the above were delicious. We skipped dessert, but there were several interesting options to choose from. Although the dining room was full and a bit noisy, we didn’t feel cramped or rushed to finish. I would definitely recommend this venue for upscale dining.

    Interesting cocktails and wine. Shareable starters. The parsnip angolatti was outstanding. Others had the fish and the bucatini. Everyone enjoyed their mains. Server was attentive but not overbearing. Desserts looked good but we were full up.

    The food is terrific. The focaccia and honey butter is not to be missed. We enjoyed the lamb shank, the fish, pork and duck. The server was available and helpful.
