Thanks Ched Dwain for an OUTSTANDING meal and Natasha for GREAT service!…read more Our table of 4 was seated outside, which was perfect for us as the weather was ideal and the noise level was much less than a crowded inside dining room. We ordered the Master Board and Wagyu Beef Tartare from the Shares section, all 7 of the Small Plates section, 2 pastas and 2 entrees from the Large Plates section. The Shrimp Toast from the Small Plates section was the overall favorite of the night, with all the others close behind. Our bottles of wine from both Oregon and Washington state paired wonderfully with the chef's food. When dining in Wilmington, DE, La Fia is highly recommended.

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 !

List of true stories that make us say, "That's soooo Media!"…read more 1.) 6 unintoxicated Baby Boomer women in Santa Hats, with long gray hair poking out, walking down State Street on a Friday night, singing Christmas carols (totally serious about it), ringing a bell to get attention. 2.) 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.

Service is being ignored. Orders forgotten, food served late, cold and unappetizing…read more The female manager/owner is most concerned with filling chairs and quick turnover. Her focus should be on the experience, food service, and properly training and managing staff. Been patronizing for many years but this summer's experiences have been very negative and disappointing. The neighboring restaurants, directly beside and across from Portabellos, have been holding higher standards without the strong turnover we've seen at Portabellos. Perhaps it's time to hire a friendlier, kinder face as manager/hostess. When bringing things to her attention, she deflected and turned blame to the "busyness" of the towns local events. With that being said, being of her obvious age and acclaimed experience, she should know to fully staff and properly manage her team. The seats will fill themselves, not needing her hand in literally asking guests at the bar to shuffle their seats to fill two others. Perhaps the patrons at the bar sat in the selected seats purposely, and for reason of disability, anxiety, etc. Never had we experienced a manager asking patrons, in mid-meal and deep conversation, to quite literally shuffle themselves to fill an empty barstool. Absolutely appalling. Highly recommend avoiding unless you enjoy overspending on lacking, cold, sometimes forgotten food, and terribly inadequate attention to details.

Absolutely the best Italian subs I have tried in A LONG TIME. Let's start by saying that I was born…read moreand lived most of my early youth in Philadelphia, but I was now living in Maryland. I go to Philly sometimes for sport events (Eagles and Phillies) and I always buy cheesesteaks and hoagies at different places to get a taste of who is the best among the many. This time I decided to find places in the Wilmington and New Castle area--after reading many reviews, Gaudiello's Italian Hoagies was the one spot that caught my attention so my wife and I went for it. When you walk in, the place was very clean, and the person at cash register taking the orders was extremely nice and went out of his way to accommodate our orders. I asked for (to take) four different cheesesteaks and one hoagie; all the subs were properly labeled with the ingredients we ordered on each separate order. When I tried my cheesesteak and my hoagie at home, I was blown away by the amazing taste and quality of the meat (cheesesteak was made with ribeye meat and the hoagie with prime Italian ham), and the bread was SUPERB! For next occasions going up north, I'm ONLY stoping at Gaudiello's.
