    Such a great vibe on the outdoor patio with fireplace roaring!! Truly one of the best restaurants in Wilmington. Focaccia is amazing and the squash ravioli in browned butter was the most delicious comfort food! Sal and Quinn both came by to welcome us and Alex's service was on point. Highly recommend
