Food and service were outstanding. The decor could use a refresh, but I expect new owners may do that.

Busy night at Taverna Wilmington. Had amazing drinks thanks to Drew and great service by De-Andre. Mike and Sam were just running as it was a busy night. Saturday was the 1st “fall-like” evening so I decided to try the prosciutto and fig raviolis and OMG! With the Gorgonzola cream sauce! It was amazing! I might have had my first “food-fast”! I was facing the kitchen and I saw at least three of the sundaes go out. After having truffle bread w sauce, Caesar salad and the Main, I couldn’t do it. I had asked if they could make one small out of a highball 🥃 glass. To my surprise they did and it was perfect! I can’t say how much I appreciate the people of PDG for their hospitality and delicious food! Thank you always! You are too kind!!

Went out on a limb and ended up at Bellini’s after my previous reservations had to be cancelled. Happy Hour deals were great! The portions were huge even for happy hour deals. The food was delicious the waiters and staff were so nice! Would definitely recommend and go back. Recommend the Caesar Salad for happy hour and any of their happy hour drinks. The mussels were also delicious and a great steal for happy hour.

Very pleasant dining experience. This BYOB was a nice neighborhood Italian Osteria. The menu had an extensive offering of authentic Italian food particularly Pasta, Gnocchi and Risotto. The meat and poultry items were more limited with none for pork or beef. Seafood choices were plentiful with one particularly unusual. A special last night was a very good lobster ravioli with a sauce that included shrimp, calamari as well as other shell fish. The house bread was unique and delicious. It was served with an oil dipping sauce that was also prepared with a tangy vinegar. Portions were large & service was very good. Nice place & good value for an Italian dinner with family or friends.

Food was delicious as usual. Our server was very attentive. The only thing that disappointed us a little was that we put down when I booked the reservation through Open Table that it was our anniversary and it wasn’t even acknowledged. The last time it was. Will keep going back because of food and service!

Eggplant Parmesan is some of the best I’ve ever had. Portions are enormous. They are very up front that it’s byob — but of course I missed it and had to run to a nearby wine shop to get a bottle. The only real complaint is that the seating needs some improvement, in terms of density / placement, but also in terms of the stability of the furniture. My wife’s chair was so rickety that she had to swap it for another.
