UPDATE: Visited this amazing establishment on 10/22/22 to celebrate my mom's birthday. It was so wonderful to see Chef Luigi & Doris again after 2 years. We all started with Rice Arancini which was absolutely amazing with the homemade marinara sauce and complimentary toasted bruschetta which was out of this world, homemade bread smothered in Luigi's marinara sauce topped with cheese melted to perfection. My mom and sister each had a glass of Chianti. We all ordered our entrees, my parents and I had the veal parmigiana w/ side of pasta, outstanding! My sister had the sweet potato gnocchi in rich cream sauce which was very delicious. The evening concluded with a amazing cannoli with a beautiful sparkler as we all sang happy birthday that Doris brought out. Highly Recommended! Check out Luigi Vetrone's Pastabilities! Tell em Charlie sent ya!
Visited this establishment on 10/24/20 with both my parents to celebrate my mom's birthday. We were welcomed warmly by Luigi and his lovely server Doris. It was our very first time there and we were immediately welcomed like family. We started off with our drinks and appetizers, my dad tried a blackberry Italian soda, my mom had a glass of Merlot, and I had rosemary/thyme iced tea, we all enjoyed our drinks. Now to the food, started with a baked marinara bread which was absolutely delicious, then we tried the fried calamari which was prepared to perfection, and we also tried the steamed preparation with a very flavorful sauce, both were remarkable. Now to the entrees, the three of has the Veal Special which was prepared crispy and had crispy eggplant and stuffed with ricotta cheese, with side of spaghetti marinara, everything was spectacular! Then dessert and it was absolutely amazing, my dad had the chocolate mousse, my mom had the amaretto mascarpone tart and I had a funnel cake bananas foster. As a Chef and Foodie I really enjoyed this establishment, Chef Luigi Vitrone is a lot like me big hearted and passionate about his food, it takes special people to make it truly exceptional. I Highly Recommend everyone to try Luigi Vitrone's Pastabilities, you will be so glad you did! Tell them...
Read moreMe and my boyfriend were looking for a new place for dinner, since we usually frequent the same few restaurants that are near us. Embarrassingly, we are the locals that popped into Pasatbilities because of the Diners, Drive-In’s, and Dives episode. However, when I tell you that this the BEST food I’ve ever had I’m not exaggerating. We ordered r the Arancini appetizer, which was delicious and I’m not a huge fan of rice, but I would eat 10 of these things by myself. Then we ordered dinner and I got the Veal Rolitini and my boyfriend ordered the chicken parm. Both of these dishes were OUT OF THIS WORLD. The veal was tender and flavorful and was definitely fresh. The chicken parm was also incredible and delicious. I grew up on Robinos and other local Italian restaurants in the area, but I think I just found a new favorite.
Also, the food at a restaurant can be amazing, but if the service is mediocre or poor it makes the whole experience go downhill. We had the best service and felt so welcomed even though we didn’t have reservations and showed up when they had a large party. They never made us feel like we weren’t welcomed and were even very personable during our whole dinner. I will DEFINITELY be...
Read moreI made a reservation on 1/21 for 3/15 for 16 people on a Sunday. I was told I had to many for a Saturday so Sunday it was which I was fine with. They normally do 20 people for sundays but they said it would be fine. No one ever mentioned there needed to be a price point met. I sent a message today with the order like I was asked to do( I said I would send prior to the party even though someone heard a few weeks after the inital call) and got a call a few hours after my message telling me that 1 - they had my reservations for the 8th which I never would have said as it was for my birthday which is the day after the reservations I made and 2 - that since 4 of my people were ordering sandwiches and pizza that they could no longer accommodate my reservation. I was told it would not be worth it for the server but how do you know how much we would tip a server? Apparently they tried to call me several times and left messages prior to today but I never got a call or message. We were so excited to try a new italian restaurant(I have tried almost everyone in delaware) but now I will never know if the food is good or not as I will never go here. This is horrible and unprofessional service, you...
