We had a lovely pre-theater meal! The food and service were great, and everything was timed perfectly so we could enjoy our meal and still make it to the theater on time. Highly recommend!

We made a day trip to Delaware from Philadelphia and reserved a table at Roost for dinner due to their dietary accommodating menu. The food was delicious and there was something for each person in our party to enjoy. I loved the gluten free cornbread and the cocktails were crafted wonderfully! Our waiter was kind and considerate to my dietary needs - we will definitely return the next time we’re in Wilmington!

It was a Wednesday early for dinner. Didn't really need a reservation. We were able to sit and relax with another couple to talk without feeling rushed.

We had a great experience at Buca D’oro Ristoante! The menu had great choices, the food was delicious and their prices were extremely reasonable. We would highly recommend this restaurant for an evening out and a wonderful ambience. We will definitely return.

The staff was very attentive and the food was excellent (veal w mushrooms in a cream sauce and a special of spinich raviolis in marinara). I appreciated the portion size which was perfect. I can never finish an entree but i ate my whole meal. I highly reccomend this comforting eatery.

Food was very good. They forgot to bring out an appetizer we ordered so it came out late but they took it off our bill which was nice. A solid option for a casual lunch or dinner. Would return.

Phenomenal food and atmosphere. They’ve got an extensive cocktail/mocktail list and everything on it has been fantastic. This was our fourth time dining here and they’ve been consistently amazing across every visit.
