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.

Absolutely excellent!…read more My Delaware-living family member was right on track when she recommended Scalessa's! When she compared it to our all time favorite Italian South Jersey (Fieni's) - we were in! Scalessa's is quaint, warm, and boasts a decent sized menu. The gnocchi was tender and pillowy with a great sauce. The seafood was delicious and fresh! Everyone loved his/her dishes! We met the owner, which I always like. The huge portions allowed us to take home leftovers (not a typical thing for me!). Our dessert of (shared) choice was butter cake - wow! Super yummy just like my grandmother turned us on to many moons ago! Since I'll be spending more time in Delaware - we'll be stopping again!!! :) A DEFINITE MUST TRY !!! Thanks Jules !

I've been wanting to try this place for quite some time. The restaurant was a throw back to my…read morechildhood; dimly lit, dark wood panels with basic decor and lots of regulars out for Sunday supper. I had the spaghetti with clams in white sauce with a side of greens. My bf had the chicken Parm with a side of spaghetti. The spaghetti with clams was really good, especially after mixing in the greens and adding some grated parmesan cheese with a little red pepper flakes. The fresh pasta was light and tender and the red sauce was very old school Italian. I ordered an Italian sub with prosciutto and sharp provolone to go that I can't wait to try.

They also had a really fun brunch menu, the only thing lacking was the execution on some of the food. It was all good but not amazing. The eggs Benedict was unique with the extra fluffy hollandaise but it was overly citrusy and salty. I liked that it had the option of a side salad. We also got the beignet to share and they were way too dense to be called a beignet. It was a powdered sugar scone. Good but not a beignet. Overall nice spot but I would rush back for the food.

This place was featured on it! The home feeling to this place is awesome! They treat you like one of their own family members. It is decorated with family photos throughout and tons of awards for the Delaware/Wilmington area! It feels like a true italian family setting. Now for the food..... They bring you out what feels like a loaf of italian bread! I go here specifically to purchase the Guy Fieri Favorite ...and let me tell you, he's not wrong. Beef Braciole, homemade meatballs, sausage, meat ravioli, cheese ravioli, and spaghetti. Homemade traditional red sauce. The pasta is made every morning. I can't rave about this dish enough! The Chicken Alfredo comes with 2 cutlets. The homemade Alfredo sauce is also fantastic. You will definitely need a to go box! Now lets talk about the soup. Simple, but such a great item. This soup has to be the cure to the common cold. It takes you back to grandma's house as a kid eating chicken broth with noodles. The difference is the homemade pasta pearls. Of your traveling near Wilmington, just trust us stop here!

Great experience in Wilmington…read more When we were visiting Wilmington we were looking for somewhere good to eat, and social media recommended we tried out casa nonna. The ambiance is super fun as it's hidden to the side of a food hall, but tucked away so it feels very intimate. The food was phenomenal. I got the chicken Parmesan (although it's an appetizer it filled me up), my husband got the sausage pizza and my friend got eggplant parm. While the food was amazing, the one complaint I had was the service. I felt bad I feel like the server was handling every single table, and while the server was super nice and helpful, our food took forever and getting water and the check took a while as well. Overall good experience and will be back when I again to try new food here.

Creative food indeed but Bardea fell short in a few areas for me…read more First, I showed up without a reservation on a Tuesday night at 7PM with a party of 7. We were seated quickly, which was great and I was glad they could seat us. The restaurant was packed with mostly groups. And it was very very loud, we ordered quickly and were told they recommend 2-3 dishes per person. My group ordered drinks and food all in one go. We got a first course of dishes before our drinks appeared just as the second plates were arriving. I got the Jackie O cocktail, which was okay, but not great and definitely not worth $17. I got the burrata poptart, which was a highlight, it was the best item I tried and very visually pleasing, now the biggest shortfall was the King Pawn. For $30, you can perform your own table side prawn autopsy. I couldn't tell if it was just because it was burned/severely overcooked but trying to extract the meat was a challenge and I'm not sure was worth the effort. Now my biggest thumbs down is that they won't separate checks. Even though this restaurant was full of groups. I didn't know this was an issue before I brought in a group. Maybe the Bardea restaurant group needs to visit other parts of the country where restaurants regularly split checks for people. I wouldn't chose to come back to Wilmington, DE for team meetings in the future because of this weird Wilmington trend of not splitting checks.

There are take out options or the dining room which is family style how the tables are set. The staff is sweet yet forgetful but the food/prices are why I'm conflicted! The garlic bread had fresh garlic on it which made them oddly spicy and very unenjoyable. The pastas and pizza are good and so fresh BUT I ordered the 1/2 size of a pasta dish and it only took $3 off. 1/2 the amount of pasta and still paying over $20, doesn't make sense to me!
