Mrs. Robino's Restaurant

They serve large portions. That's it! It gives diner vibe not Italian restaurant. My water was served in a dirty plastic cut, if you look in the picture you can see it, when i realized it i stopped drinking. The complimenty bread was served cold not toasted along side the little butter packs. The calamari fresco wasn't crispy or seasoned and tuff to chew. It's a Spanish spot up thr street that has better and theirs is probably frozen. I got the crab cake that was 40 bucks. It's just a big ball of crab meat again no seasoning. It came with a side of spaghetti and I got a meatball. That spaghetti sauce or gravy (whatever you chose to call it) is terrible. It's a very deep red and super thick, again no flavor. The house made noodles are thick like lo mein noodles, heavy and poorly made.. the meatball was mushy, took one bite and was done. Also ordered was the garlic butter and crab dish with allegedly white wine, yet another flavorless dish, the noodles sucked up the olive oil. Putting salt on the dish made no difference. The bruschetta was swimming in a pool of olive oil and cheese ... again flavorless. The sangria was good, the mule was sweet... overall if your looking for a robust, herby, flavorful italian experience.. this is not the place. Ps, if the restaurant is to respond and say they take pride in the food.. well that pride is too high and if you come down a bit you'll lower your bar.

We started with the Lottie's Special, which was very creamy and packed with shrimp, scallops, and crab! They named this dish after an employee that has worked there for over 20 years! Each of the wines we tried were from different regions of Italy and the KRIS Delle Venezie is actually from the town that the Romeo and Juliet story is based in! I really enjoyed the 1903 Howland pizza! The pizza includes long hots, sausage, olive oil, garlic, and ricotta! Everything was delicious!

Sorry food was just not good. Nice staff and atmosphere though. Appetizers and pizza were solid but that pasta drenched with extra extra gravy just was not it. Pasta was pretty dough like.

Wow..wow..wow! The atmosphere, the staff is charming, and the food is the biggest star. I can see why they have been around for 85 years. The eggplant that is hand breaded, the meatballs, and the homemade pasta were the biggest standouts for me, but everything was delicious. If you love Italian food, this is a must go to!

First thing I am going to say is, you better come with an apatite, because the portions are gigantic! I've been told I need to review Mrs. Robino's Restaurant for a while now, between friends and messages, and finally got around to it. I was immediately greeted with a warm feeling as soon as I walked in the door, very welcoming and pleasant, which told me I have been missing out for a while. I wasn't sure what I wanted, so a couple of the staff asked what I like, and they suggested I get the Tour of Italy, so I said why not. I placed an order to go, and talked to the owner and her son about other things, next thing I knew, my order was ready, very fast! I grabbed my order and it was heavy, very heavy, like it was a more than I ordered, but no, it was a single container and a bag with fresh bread. Drove to the park so I could sit down and do a thorough review , and boy was I blown away! The cheese ravioli was perfect, firm and flavorful, not overcooked, same with the meat ravioli. The spaghetti was firm (al dente), just the way I like it, and the sauce was simple, not overdone with too much seasoning, just right! The sweet Italian sausage was on point, and so was the meatball, and before I knew it, I was full, completely, and 2/3 of what I ordered was still in the container 😲 The price was a lot less than I expected for the amount of food that I got, and I was told that to go orders were smaller than if I had sat down, which I unheard of these days, and I can honestly say that if I didn't know better, they thought of their customers as family. I HIGHLY recommend Mrs. Robino's Restaurant if you want a great Italian meal for a great price! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five stars, only because that's all Google allows, otherwise this restaurant would get more!

We come here so much! My mom and dad have been coming since before I was even born. They been coming since the late 90s and we all absolutely love this place! I absolutely love the spaghetti with meat sauce and meatballs. My dad gets the spaghetti as well and mom gets pizza to split with my sister. We will never stop coming back! Lottie is a great waitress and always gets our order right and everything comes out fast and hot! The only downside is there is no booths. I really really wish there was some booths, those hard wooden chairs hurt my ass sometimes and a nice cozy booth always makes the dining experience feel more private and enjoyable. !

The reality was that a mouse ran across my friend's path, as she spoke to our server after we'd paid our bill. Most of the wait staff saw it happen, and everyone tried to keep it low key, but it happened. The owner was there, managing the front, and didn't say a word to us about the incident. We were a party of seven. We ordered wine/drinks, salads, and entrees. The food was moderately priced, ample and solid Italian. Seems like the locals at our table enjoyed the nostalgia of heading back to the old time haunt! One of us even bought a T-shirt to commemorate our dinner. Total shame that even the owner pretended that the mouse didn't run across the floor, in front of service providers and consumers, and went on business as usual. We've all worked in the service industry, and are well aware of obstacles. The lack of communication is sad. There should have been a conversation about the rodent in the restaurant. No one is looking for a free meal, and when you see one mouse running around after you've eaten at a long running establishment, I expect the owner to take responsibility and address the situation. That's just gross all around, in my opinion, but you decide for yourself, Googlers.

I heard about this place from Triple D (Guy Fieri). His recommendation was Legit. Old school classic Italian place. Brought me back to my days of growing up with Sunday Dinners at my Italian Grandparents house. The sauce or (Gravy) was just how my Nonna made it. Just Amazing! Homemade Spaghetti and Ravioli's along with the meatballs and sausage and braciole. What a Wonderful Meal and experience. Service was very friendly and quick. It's too bad I don't live closer. Would be here at least 2 or 3 times a week. Definitely worth the road trip to it and a place you have to check out especially if you are a foodie like me.

As an Italian from NJ, Mrs. Robino's is the closest thing I've had to my grandmas cooking! Everything we've had is incredible, the service is always quick and friendly, and you really feel like you're eating at someone's house. Mrs. Robino's is truly a Wilmington staple!

Oh Guy Fieri, you've done me wrong. We took a short road trip to Delaware to check out the authentic and highly recommended Mrs. Robino's and I was so sadly disappointed. Italian is my all time favorite and homemade scratch pasta always steals my heart. This however... not so much. This pitiful dark, dirty multi-roomed "restaurant" with bath and bodywork's candles burning on odd empty tables had me questioning if we even wanted to stay. Homestyle. I told myself. Let just pretend we are in Nona's cramped row home on a holiday. How dare I insult any Italian grandma that way. We ordered the "Guys sampler" and the way overcooked Braciole was simmering far too long and had a burnt sauce flavor and chewy texture. Not to mention the toothpicks that simmered so long they were broken down within the meat. The spaghetti was more of a Bucatini and way too thick. The ravioli were thick and could have been rolled thinner but were the only edible part of the meal. My chicken parm was pitiful. I've honestly had better at the Olive Garden. The sauce... the deep dark red sauce that topped everything was thick and pasty. Barely seasoned and lackluster. Our waitress was barely attentive and disappeared leaving us wanting for more refills on our drinks and then took forever to get our check to us. I give three stars to be generous just in case this was an off occurrence, but will not return for a second chance.

It was a very nice experience. The restaurant is memorable even if parking is a bot challenging. The staff were splendid, kind, and very helpful. They made great recommendations and provided a plethora of options. The food was very good. The various sauces made the meal so much better and allowed us to make it how we wanted.

Mrs. Robino's was very nice. It is located close to the Wilmington Waterfront and has been featured in Guy Fieri's television show. I really enjoyed all of the picture frames they have throughout the restaurant. It's like Tony Soprano, and all renowned Italian actors, ate here. Our server, Bill, did a very good job. He kept us very comfortable and kept our drinks refilled. We really enjoyed the crispy cauliflower appetizer. They were cooked to perfection and the seasoning placed them on another level. We shared the Margherita Pizza. The pizza was thin, which I prefer, had fresh ingredients, and was at the right temperature throughout the meal. The cheese raviolis came with a large meatball and the sauce was flavorful. Don't hesitate to come into Mrs. Rabino's. You will enjoy a nice Italian meal and leave satisfied.

Amazing Italian restaurant with great staff and even better ambiance. We went in and were immediately greeted by 3 people and quickly brought to our seats. The wait staff was one of the best i've ever had, our waitress was super helpful with recommendations and super bubbly. She immediately got us some waters and bread. The bread was delicious, especially with the 3 different oils on the table. I got what I believe was the tour of Italy. It came with meatballs, homemade pasta, a sausage, a meat ravioli, and a cheese ravioli. The red sauce was amazing and the homemade pasta was delicious. I also got to try to my girlfriends pasta that had white sauce, chicken, and mushrooms. It is genuinely one of the top 5 pastas i've had. The sauce was absolutely delicious and everything in the dish worked amazing together. I would go back just to buy another dish of this. Above all, the portion sizes were absolutely massive. I cannot think of the last time I couldn't finish what I ordered at a restaurant, but Mrs. Robinos had me beat. I only got through about 2/3 of it and had enough for lunch the next day. My girlfriend made 2 more meals out of it. All in all, I had one of the best dining experiences i've ever had here and would love to come back. I definitely recommend this place to anyone and hope everyone supports this small business.

I am finally getting around to doing this review. It has been over 30 years since I last dined here. The restaurant was crowded and our server was attentive. There are a couple of dining areas. They are all pretty loud and somewhat cramped, but manageable. Parking arrangements are a bit unique, but there are available spots. After an appetizer of arancini, my wife got the veal cutlet, my daughter got the chicken parmesan, and I got the beef braciole (the Guy Fieri special). The food came out rather quickly, but still seemed rather lukewarm. They tend to use a lot of sauce, so be aware if you like a lesser amount. I still can't seem to find a place that has a braciole like my mom made. This braciole was good, but really garlicky. The homemade pasta is excellent and makes the trip worth the trouble. That's why they've been around for so long. Mrs. Robino's is a Wilmington landmark and a must visit.

needs veal Maybe veal parmigiana would be great! Very hard to find in real Italian restaurants.

Really good, family owned Italian spot In Wilmington. Great pastas, great sauce, and super friendly service...it looked like there were a lot of regulars dining there last night (good sign). If you're looking for a casual spot for authentic Italian this is your place.

Excellent service and a great menu for vegans. I thought their eggplant was firm and had very good texture. Broccoli rabe was good. I was disappointed by the olive oil and no freshly grated cheese especially since the pasta was so good.

You know you are off to a good start when you are promptly seated by friendly wait staff and presented with a loaf of fresh crunchy Italian bread. Our lunch here was delicious from start to end. Our soups were hot a delicious. The Italian Wedding soup was just like my mom made, with small chunks of egg omelette and plenty of meatballs and spinach. The Pasta Fagioli was full of beans and small pasta squares in a fresh tomato broth. We really loved the antipasto chopped salad full of salami and provolone cheese, sweet peppers , hot cherry peppers,celery,tomato,olives and egg. Everything was fresh. The small portion we ordered was actually huge, we took some home. The Italian Porkette Platter was also a huge portion and we took some of that home also. The pork was tender with lots of juice. It was accompanied by perfectly cooked broccoli rabe,so tender and bright green. The platter also had chunky mashed potatoes with some skin covered by that delicious pork juice. The service was fast and friendly. I would not hesitate to come back for more.

I ordered takeout. Picked it up on time. The meal was lousy. The spaghetti was overcooked. The sauce was just ok and the meatballs were good. The Calamari was poor. I love Calamari but this was overcooked, soft and mushy. The sauce with was horrible. The tossed salad consisted of only lettuce pieces and two slices of tomato sliced large and nothing else. The dressing was Italian and adequate. Honestly the sliced bread with the order which was an extra charge was the best part of the meal. I'm very disappointed. I will not be ordering take out from this restaurant.

It was just meh. The homemade cheese ravioli was underwhelming. The red sauce had an odd flavoring and the ravioli was one note. The pastina was solid but I don't feel any need to come back.

THIS is my go-to Italian Restaurant that I will drive 45 minutes to visit. Stopped in for a late lunch/early dinner recently. This time I ordered the Long Hots and Sharp Provolone as an appetizer and the Gnocchi with meatballs and sausage. Side basket of fresh crusty bread was included as usual. All were FANTASTIC! Thanks for another great meal!!

This is old style Italian, homemade, family run restaurant. Robin & her staff, are all friendly & will satisfy your cravings with delicious Italian dishes, traditional & new. Bring your hungry gang in, have a glass of Chianti, & enjoy your meal...it's all good! My only reason for not quite getting 5 stars, is the street parking. It's not user friendly because the city now has you backing into an angled street slot.

First time visit but not my last! Service was excellent. My cheese ravioli was the best I have ever had! My husband enjoyed the meatballs but wasn't thrilled with the tomato sauce. For dessert we tried the cannolis and choc cream cake. Probably would skip dessert next time. We went for early dinner and easily found on street parking out front.

Fantastic as always. Neighborhood staple. The portions are perfect and the meatballs give me my will to live. Will be coming until I physically cannot.

I've been going here on and off for a long time, and always love it. It's easily one of my favorite restaurants in the region, and the vegan section of the menu is extremely impressive. Last week, Lottie waited on my friends and I, and she was incredibly friendly despite the fact that we were probably the last table to be sat that night. We had a ton of fun speaking with her. Anyone in the area should go if they want great Italian food, vegan food, or just great food in general.

Food isn't what it use to be. Its not consistent. Sometimes we go its just ok, sometimes good, times awful. Last nite I ordered the Gnocchi w mushrooms. It looked amazing in the video ( they show video clips of the entrees on the movie slide) It was smothered in a heavy cram sauce. Way too much! No need for all that and it was extremely salty. The desert was one of my favorites, lemon cello cake I don't know what happened, but it was so tiny. It was enough to feed a baby. Anyway as for my entree The potential for a great dish was there. My friends meal was much better and the waitress was great and because of that I'll go back probably not for another year.

Yes to Mrs. Robino's - since forever! I have been eating at this family-owned restaurant since I was a kid, and my parents can say the very same. It's so rare to find a generationally-owned family restaurant these days, and especially one that still makes their own sauce AND pasta. The restaurant is tucked away on Union street in a former home decorated with legacy family portraits. On any given day of the week you'll find locals sharing family meals. The space is much larger than it appears when you walk in with several different rooms that also work great for private events. The best part? It's very affordable and fast! Fresh pasta cooks pretty damn quick, after all. Their dishes come in small portions which will leave most people full or large portions which are great for sharing, leftovers or the super hungry. LOVE this family staple in Wilmington. Hope it is around for future generations to enjoy! My go-tos: - ravioli with meatballs and homemade sauce - fettuccine Alfredo - chicken piccata (only certain days of week!) - long hots (pepper appetizer!) - antipasto chopped salad - $6 glass of wine (yup!!!)

The food was delicious. They are one of the few restaurants that offers meat ravioli and I am happy to have found that. The bread was perfect and generously provided. Our server, Brooke, was friendly, quick, attentive and helpful. She even offered to correct an error in ordering that was our fault. The Buser assisting her was really good too. Went out of his way to serve. The desserts were very good, but the portions were a bit small. This is a Great pasta house, especially if you are looking for your old favorites in a casual, comfortable environment.

Mrs. Robino's Restaurant 3301 Lancaster Ave, Ste 3D, Wilmington DE 19805 March 7, 2022, Monday - 3:15 PM for late late lunch 1 Adult Atmosphere - 5 stars Food - 5 stars Service - 5 stars Background - I love the Food Network show Diners, Drive In and Dives.  A Little detour after landing at the Philly airport and before heading to Atlantic City Atmosphere - Really four little spaces all combined to create a larger restaurant.  I could see that these for little spaces were old businesses with family housing above them at one time.  Lots of charm and character.  I sat in the room right next to the bar.  Lots of old family wedding pictures which was like taking a step back in time which I loved. Food - On Triple D Guy tried which was the meat raviolis.  The sauce was great, too many are overly sweet.  This was one was not.  The pasta were little rectangles packed with meat.  There was also one meatball on the plate.  I would order this again. Service - Three in the afternoon the place was pretty empty.  My waiter only had one other table but I could tell he was still taking care of chores.  Service was spot on. Future - I would love to, but the odds are against me based on location. Milestone - State number 30 with a Yelp review!!

I ordered two soups and when I got there the man in charge of the to-go just pointed a sealed bag assuring that was my order. I got home and one soup was missing. I stopped by to get the missing Italian wedding soup and I got something totally different from the first soup version. This Italian wedding soup didn't have the tiny pasta balls at all instead have hard pieces of chicken and it taste old. Wegmans wedding soup is way better. Very disappointed and don't understand all the rave about this place.

The pasta dish we both had were bland and taste less.i grew up in that neighborhood but never been inside to a while ago. I think there r no eggs in their pasta .My friend got chicken Parmesan with spaghetti not very happy bland..We will never go back again our own opinion.its sure not like my Mama made.

I celebrated my daughter's 16th birthday at Mrs Robino's today. Service, food, ambiance were all excellent! Definitely recommend to anyone looking for an intimate and homely feel.

My daughter and I had the most wonderful experience there. The food was to die for. I got the veal parmigiana, it was delicious and I had enough for another meal. I got the fettuccine Alfredo as my side pasta, it was the best I ever had. My daughter got the Taste of Italy and loved , had enough left over for 2 other meals. I just want to add that there was a busboy there with long blond hair and he was the friendliest, happiest helper , it was so nice to see that . I was very impressed with his work ethic. You don't see that often in teenagers . I love this restaurant and will definitely be back when I visit Wilmington again.

I live in Los Angeles and grew up in Wilmington this is my first time back to visit in 20 years--I regularly visited Mrs. Robino's Restaurant growing up and when I was last in Wilmington and I always enjoyed my meals. Tonight was no different and I was impressed with the new for me large mixed greens garden salad offering--this healthy and delicious menu item was a surprise and I truly enjoyed it. Thank you for your excellent Italian restaurant food and service throughout the years.

Since I moved to Delaware a year and a half ago, I've been searching for really good Italian food. I lived in Brooklyn my entire life up until moving here, in a predominantly Italian neighborhood for the majority of my life. I was surrounded by Italian restaurants, American-Italian really, with more traditional restaurants sprinkled throughout. During covid, I've been looking for the comfort of good Italian food like what I grew up with, and a lot of people recommended Mrs. Robino's as being some of the best Italian food they ever had. So naturally, I had to try it out. I always try to keep my expectations realistic so as to not be biased when I try new places, so I tried not to compare to the restaurants I grew up with or my Sicilian families cooking, and gave it a try. I ordered the Chicken Alfredo Parm with Fettuccine. While the chicken was nicely seasoned and tasted pretty good on its own, there was way too much sauce, and it tasted like cream. Alfredo sauce is traditionally made with butter and parmigiano-reggiano. Sometimes people like adding other things, like garlic, black pepper or herbs, but butter and PR are the two OG ingredients. Adding a little cream is an American modification, and I'm not saying it's a bad one! But it really ruins the dish when it's excessive. And in this case, it was all I could taste. Not the butter, and definitely not the PR. It was unpleasant. The lasagna was decent, but the sauce was lacking a bit. That being said, the Canneloni Florentine was very good. It had a great flavor, good seasoning, presentable, and it had a nice white sauce... so not sure what went wrong with the alfredo there! But with everything considered, and because the Canneloni was so enjoyable, I would definitely come back and try other items. I'm giving three stars for now based on my experience with the meal I ordered, but please remember that if you are curious to try this restaurant, you should try it for yourself. I also am in the minority here, so you should absolutely come to your own conclusions.

Went to visit this restaurant for the very first time last night. I had been wanting to go ever since I saw it on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, and for no particular reason just never had gotten around to it. I feel like maybe the hype was greater than it should have been. I mean, I'd definitely go again as it was decent Italian food, but I wasn't blown away. The rice balls I had as an appetizer and the long hots I tried were extremely delicious and I definitely recommend them. For my meal I tried the chicken Josephine, which is basically grilled chicken breast strips tossed with mushrooms and house Alfredo sauce served over fettuccini. I felt the sauce was bland and I didn't love how thin the fettuccine noodles were. The other dish I tried was the beef braciole, and I felt the meat was a bit dried out. While I didn't try the homemade spaghetti it came with, the dish's owner did say that it was delicious. The garlic bread was huge and full of lots of garlic chunks, which was a plus. I will also say there was definitely a lot of food, regardless of what you ordered. One pasta dish can definitely feed two. I'll also say I felt the service was just average as well, having to wait for water a time or two and wait for the bill to finally come. Overall, I'd give this 3.5 stars if I could (but there are no half stars unfortunately). I would be willing to try it again though and if I do I'll add another update to this review.

We went to dinner Friday night. Our first time there, recommended by a co-worker who has been going for years. After reading the menu, we both settled on the Beef Braciole with pasta. The beef was a little on the dry side, but was still very tasty. The sauce and the pasta were out of this world delicious! Huge portion and we took most of it home. It was so good that we also got an order spaghetti and meatballs to go. I'm telling you that sauce and those homemade noodles! I can't say enough about them. We also got cannolies and were very pleased with their taste and consistency. A lot of times they are very sweet but these weren't. They were delightful. Our waiter was very aware and came to the table time and time again to make sure that we didn't need anything, or to take care of whatever needs we had. I wish he would have introduced himself. Everytime I asked for something, I'd thank him... and he'd say.... "No Problem". I thought it was cute that he kept saying that. It's nice to know a young man who is hard working has "no problems". We are looking forward to going back.

I've been coming here for years. The service is always good and the atmosphere has remained the same over the last 40 years. The food is hit or miss. Tonight it was a miss. I ordered the signature dish, the Beef Braciole. It was obviously pre-made and served to me reheated because I got my food less than five minutes after ordering. I have to imagine it tastes a whole lot better when made and served FRESH!!!

After seeing Mrs. Robino's on a million lists, and then learning that my boyfriend Guy Fieri liked it, I had to give it a try. So glad I did. My party enjoyed chopped antipasto and caprese salads to start, and we were all very happy with those selections. By the way, two of us split the SMALL chopped salad, and brought home probably just as much as we ate! For dinner, it was an eggplant Parmesan, a lasagna, and a Guy's Special (braciole, a meatball, a sausage, ravioli and spaghetti), and all three were absolutely delicious. Again, we all brought home enough for at least one more dinner each, if not more. Fantastic food- the three of us cannot wait to go back. Not a fancy place, but I mean that in a good way. Very neighborhoody, and totally welcoming. Definitely go check this place out- you'll be back!

Had the Eggplant Parmigiana so good and as always a basket full of fresh Bread so yummy good! Was just there on Sunday afternoon!

I gave two stars because of the pleasant service. The food was a different matter. My wife had the cheese ravioli which she liked. I had the spaghetti Bolognese which I must say in my six decades of restaurant dining was the WORST pasta I've ever eaten. I don't believe the sauce was a Bolognese. It was only ground beef sauce with a sadness of seasoning, if any. Bland. But the real atrocity was the "homemade" spaghetti. I suspect it was machine extruded and at one time fresh. But it seemed that they boiled it and kept it prisoner in a hot water bath for convenience. It ceased to be pasta by the time it came to my table. Scotto- over boiled. A wet sloppy tasteless string of watery flour paste. Horrible. It shamed me as an Italian and a cook. As to not embarrass our fellow diners I had it boxed and unceremoniously committed it to the trash can at home. The meatball was edible, if barely flavored. My meal really depressed me. We won't be returning.

I'm a fan. Authentic Italian food like mama used to make. Worth the 100 mile trip from Rehoboth. Service is great considering the size and buzz of the restaurant. I had the best veal cutlets to make them a separate takeaway item even after I'm full. The ambiance is lovely. You feel like you've been invited to mama's house and she's open up every room for tables and food.

We kind of stumbled upon this restaurant by accident, but everything was wonderful! We had lasagna, fettuccine, spaghetti, and everybody was pleased with their meal. Wait staff and other staff were very kind and accommodating. Prices were decent and portions were good. Tip- go for the small portion, it's still plenty!

Mrs. Robino's is a little hidden gem right by Trolley Square. They serve some of the most delicious Italian food in Delaware and I have a great experience every time that I go. They make their pasta fresh and make their own homemade sauce and meatballs daily. We had a plethora of entrees including their homemade spaghetti and meatballs and their tortellini Alfredo. This was my first time trying their Alfredo sauce and it did not disappoint. I cannot wait to come back and have it again. If you're looking for authentic Italian, big portions at reasonable prices, and some of the kindest staff you have ever met, Mrs. Robino's is the spot! Ask for Lottie as your server if you want the best!

It's hard to tell how large Mrs. Robino's is from the outside. I've lived in Wilmington for almost four decades and had heard how great this place is, but I never tried it until recently. Walk in and it's quite spacious and clean. Service was a little slow and it took a little while for a hostess to attend to us. Menu has a lot of variety. Good kids meal option. We ordered some raviolis so the kids could give them a try and they liked them. It was crab night, so I got a tasty pasta in red sauce with lump crab on it. I was disappointed with the fra Diavolo sauce (my go to Italian dish) that had a tabasco spicyness to it. The waitress, thankfully, warned me so she brought out a cup of the sauce for me to sample before I ordered (which I ended up not ordering). Would definitely try it again.

Here on a business trip and this place was recommended. Delicious and friendly service. Good portions. I got the Lotties special and my husband got the tour of Italy. HUGE portions. Meatballs were excellent. Skip Sangria personally too sweet, good prices on wine. Tiramisu fab. Would definitely visit again. Cute ambiance.

Real old time restaurant with abundant, delicious food and patrons to suit. A single waitress for our section managed to be responsive and king.

Went there tonight for Valentine's Day dinner with my husband. To say the least it was not an enjoyable experience. While the waitress was nice, she was frazzled and did not take our order when we wanted and took other orders from tables that arrived after us. Needless to say, all the people around us got their food, ate and left before our food ever came out. We waited an hour and a half for our dinner. Excuses were made. But no one from management came to offer their apologies. We did not want to make a scene because it was Valentine's Day and did not want to ruin other couples experience. Therefore, we will never come back again. If you're looking for a another Italian restaurant in the area go to Attilio's.

Everything was to die for! We had the eggplant, tortellini, pizza, and broccoli rabe. The homemade sauce is sweet and salty at the same time. You can tell everything is homemade. Best thing to Italy you can get in DE! Splurge - get the garlic bread.

I thought this place was nice, but could have been better. No complaints about the pizza, lemonade, or espresso. The only downsides are that there is no individual-sized pizza, no pizza-by-the-slice, and they did not have any raw brown sugar. They only had white sugar and other sweeteners. I like raw, natural sugar in my coffee, especially when I am having a good espresso or cappuccino. Some of the staff were very nice, and others were just so-so. The decor was nice and inviting, and the food prices seemed reasonable. Good place overall!

They emphasize quantity over quality. The house salad was lazy: large pieces of iceberg lettuce and tomatoes that hardly fit in the micro sized bowl so they were difficult to cut into bite size pieces. The pasta dishes were HUGE yet there was nothing special about them that a home cook cannot achieve even better. I was afraid to use the olive oil with herbs that is on the tables because it looked like there were live parasites growing in it. Overall, a mediocre experience: not bad, not good.

The Chicken Parm, the long hots with provolone, the meatballs, everything I've ever eaten here is a home run! Always friendly service, cozy atmosphere, everything you want from a proper Italian restaurant!

First timer there, one of the best meals I've ever had...shrimp parm on spaghetti was awesome.... Great service and ambiance, original, classic, home style....we will be back again!

Always an excellent meal. From the cheerful attentive wait staff to the absolutely delicious food

Lovely people...best meatballs and gravy I've had in DE...I would put the Italian roasted pork right up there with Di Nic's of Reading Terminal

This was such a great spot. Very hole in the wall vibes, but the food was absolutely delicious as were the drinks. The server was super sweet, and made great recommendations. I highly recommend the chicken parm Alfredo, and the white sangria - both were stellar, but everything else was yummy as well. We would definitely return!

Did the owners sell? My favorite restaurant is no more. Last visit to Mrs. Robino's was beyond horrible. Had my brother and his family in town. Huge table and everything we ordered was disgusting. Worse than Olive Garden, served to us in these gigantic bowl with insane portions. That was the fist sign something was different. The garlic bread was gross. The chicken parm was clearly frozen and not even a good frozen brand. I was humiliated for inviting them. Change the name please!
