Very nice restaurant with excellent food at a good price. The wine list isnt extensive but, the several that Ive tried (both red and white) were very good. Weekends are very busy so get reservations. My wife and I ate at the bar and had terrific conversations with the bar tender and couples on either side of us. I even had a chance meeting with someone that was at the same college as me 30 years ago but never knew each other. Back to the restaurant... Tomato sauce was not too spicy, not too sweet. Meatballs were delicious. Veal Saltimbocca was very well prepared. Share the bread pudding with carmalized bananas... too much for one person but too good to pass up. Negatives: One waiter we had was a bit snooty (didnt get that for a restaurant like this). They dont leave the parmesean at the table but they did leave the EVOO?????

I went with a big family group. I have to say the the ambience was great! I ordered the VEAL SALTIMBOCCA off the specialty section. It was not a fine dining meal. The veal came with melted motz in a not so tasteful gravy like sauce; nor did it go with the spinach it came with. I also ordered a Caesar salad, the dressing was bland. It was like mayo with parm cheese in it. I was not the only one who did not enjoy their meal. Service was not great either, for example, dirty plates were not cleared before the main dishes were served and they stayed there till I asked for them to be taken. Would not recommend.

My family and I went here for dinner after my graduation and I was blown away by how friendly the staff were and how great the food was! We had a party of 17 and our waiter, Mort, was fantastic (as well as the kitchen and bar staff). Drinks and appetizers came just as soon as we ordered them and within minutes of ordering our entrees, they were fresh on the table. I cant talk more about how great of an experience we had at this place. Its definitely on my list of restaurants to revisit in Wilmington. To the people at OC, you have set a new standard for service for when I dine out at restaurants!

This place would of been great if the waitress didnt POISON my entree. We are very friendly and undemanding people. We tip extremely well (30% or more) as we used to be servers. Arrived at 9pm last Sat. Waitress informed us she was tired and had a busy night. Asked waitress to bring the lighter apps before the heavy ones. Guess she didnt like to do the extra work as she said sarcastic quips to me throughout the night. 7 people in my party, 3 of them tasted my entree. Only us 4 got severely sick the following day (that was the only time we ate together). evening. When

We had a wonderful dinner tonight at Osteria Cicchetti. My spaghetti cicchetti with a monster meatball and Italian sausages was perfect. My daughter is still groaning with pleasure at the shells with Alfredo sauce she had for only $12. She says shed be here twice a week if we lived here. My wife says her chicken parmigian was also perfect. I wanted so much to try the bread pudding but honestly couldnt squeeze any more in. Great Italian restaurant, nice atmosphere, reasonably priced, friendly service (Jordan was our server) = perfect.

Very good food!! Our server Chris, was attentive and helpful he gave good descriptive suggestions on the menu,when asked. This was our first visit. Our food came out promptly, we were served and out of the restaurant within 1hour 30mins. The only con;The house red wine isnt very good. Not their fault completely, I made that selection. We were seated next to a brick wall that was full of sauce, a little more detailed cleaning of the decor is needed too. Otherwise, Ill try the restaurant again.

I had the lasagna and it was very, very good. Im a big man and I thought the portion size would be too small for me, but it wasnt. My table had the daily catch, free range chicken and other dishes and everyone enjoyed it. The service was good and the aumbience was as well. The price was reasonable for the area. If I had anyrhing negative to say it would be this: reservations were made but when our party got there tables were not saved for us. Our party of 12 had to squeeze in at a small table.

Great Italian restaurant. No trip to Wilmington is complete without dining here. Best pizza in town, no contest. Full array of wonderful Italian dishes. Pastas are terrific. Create your own pasta dish. Everything is very fresh. Bustling place is a lit of fun. If you have only two in your party, enjoy dining at the bar. Always crowded at dinner. Dont overlook having lunch here. Owner Ash Aziz knows what hes doing. This is the flagship of his group of restaurants. You MUST go.

Ate outside on the patio with a group of familes - 10 in all this last weekend. Everyone loved the food and the great service. We had no reservation but they were able to pull together a table outside right on the spot! The bread was delicious as were the clams and the salads! Butternut Ravioli was delish! Red Snapper got a big thumbs up from my son whos just recently started eating seafood. Well be back.

Wonderful find for out of towers from New Haven Ct. Ambiance, service, food all great! All the staff work together like a well oiled machine. Michele, our server, was friendly, helpful, and made very good suggestions. Family and budget friendly. Decor is fun.. (shabby chic), and all is designed for a great time! Reservations would be a good idea...but plan to go. You wont be sorry! Norma. 7/14/17.

We really enjoyed the food, the service was excellent, decent prices, nice menu, but for a Thursday night, the place was packed, no wait, just really crowded and loud, this should be a testament to how good the food is but also sort of messes up the atmosphere a bit. Dont go on a romantic date, but definitely bring the family and friends. Be prepared to yell.

Love, love, love this restaurant. Generous portions. Tasty food. Friendly service. Im working my way down the pasta menu...have not found anything I dont like. The meatballs are mini meatloaves they are so big. Salads are huge too. Pizza is fantastic too.

The worst pasta with pesto that I have ever experienced ( pesto genovese). This dish is usually a no brainer. They got it wrong. The decor was great. The service fine. They comped my entree as they should have. Will return but order something else.

This restaurant has a pleasant atmosphere and the food is terrific. It is thoughtfully done so as not to be the most fattening italian, but more healthfully made. The pizza is brick oven outstanding! We love this place. Go there now.

This is the best italian food I have found in the area. Taste is comparable to food you would find in Little Italy in New York City. So happy to have finally found a great Italian restaurant south of Washington DC!
