Italian Restaurants in Delaware

When Guy Fieri rolled into Delaware’s culinary scene, he discovered that Wilmington holds some serious Italian treasures worth the trip. The First State may be small, but its Italian dining scene packs a flavorful punch that earned the attention of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives in 2019.

Both Delaware destinations featured on the show call Wilmington home, and locals have responded with enthusiasm—these spots boast an impressive average rating of 4.6 stars. Mrs. Robino’s has been serving up authentic Italian comfort food that keeps generations of families coming back, while Luigi Vitrone’s Pastabilities Trattoria delivers the kind of handcrafted pasta dishes that make Guy reach for his signature “Winner Winner Chicken Dinner” catchphrase.

What makes these Wilmington gems stand out is their commitment to tradition without sacrificing creativity. From rich red sauces simmered for hours to fresh-made noodles, these kitchens prove that you don’t need to travel to the big cities for legitimate Italian cooking. Delaware’s Triple D-approved Italian restaurants are ready to transport your taste buds straight to the old country.
