    Floriana was by far the best experience we’ve had in Wilmington. We had dinner on the balcony at sunset facing the river. Food was amazing and the service outstanding. I’ve had the gnocchi and my wife the risotto with scallops and shrimp. Both accompanied by glasses of an excellent Rose wine. For dessert, we’ve shared an espresso chocolate mousse that was delicious. You can’t miss this place if you are visiting Wilmington. Highly recommended !!!
