After-Work Takeout
Editors: Piccolina Toscana
Wilmington
It’s hard to define Toscana to Go, acknowledges owner Dan Butler. It serves as the café for the adjoining Piccolina Toscana, his Italian-inspired restaurant, and it’s ground zero for the catering department. But Toscana is Trolley Square’s takeout hub for hungry workers who are short on time. Order from the online menu or check out the display cases full of prepared foods, such as Asian flank steak, white-bean salad, grilled salmon and roasted mushrooms.

Authentic Filipino Cuisine
Editors: Tagpuan
Newark
Truly authentic Filipino cuisine can be hard to find, but Newark’s Tagpuan has found the recipe(s). Open since 2018, Chef Carlos Miranda has crafted a traditional yet inspired menu for guests seeking dishes straight from the Philippines. Diners rave about the pancit palabok, chicken afritada and halo halo. Generous portions and top-notch service make this cozy nook a great place to grab a soulful bite.

Big-City Vibe Without the Parking Hassle
Editors: Eclipse Bistro
Wilmington
In 1996, Carl Georigi made diners sit up and take notice. His newly opened Eclipse features sleek, contemporary décor and an innovative menu. It was as hip as any Philly hot spot. The restaurant continued to follow the trends, removing the white linen when diners wanted a more casual atmosphere and periodically freshening the dining room. Today, the menu is approachable, but the combination of ingredients shows finesse. For instance, the pork chop might come with toasted quinoa, crispy speck, mushrooms and cipollini onions.
Boozy Ice Cream
Editors: V&M Bistro
Wilmington
At V&M Bistro in Wilmington, diners can trade in their after-dinner drinks for some spiked ice cream instead. The Italian eatery is serving up premium liquor-infused ice cream from their “Barlour” for dessert. Indulge in coveted flavors like Chocolate Jameson Cold Brew and Bourbon Cherry Vanilla, served elegantly in a martini glass for an extra touch of sophistication. Co-owner sisters Vincenza and Margherita Carrieri-Russo also own Ice Cream Delight around the corner.
Bourbon Selection
Editors: Above the Dunes
Rehoboth Beach
Situated on the Rehoboth Boardwalk, Above the Dunes is known for its views and beachy décor. But despite the preponderance of teal and coral, the restaurant is better known for bourbon than rum. Sip it alone or enjoy the ATD Old Fashioned (Knob Creek), French 95 (Four Roses), Cranberry Cobbler Smash (Old Forester 100) or ATD Manhattan (1792 small batch).

Benvenuto has showcased OperaDelaware performers and expert mixologists. Fans, however, would maintain that dining at the Milford restaurant is an event in itself, thanks to murals and trompe l’oeil that transport guests to Tuscan towns, as well as Gordiany’s exceptional cuisine.

Over the years, La Casa Pasta has set the stage for thousands of first dates, engagements, birthdays and anniversaries. Pasta, of course, is a preferred dish, along with pizza, veal and classic chicken entrées.

Even if we wanted to copy the curry and jalapeño chicken salads, we doubt we’d get it right. Thankfully, they’re a staple at Harvest Market.

While the café, which opened in 2016, is a great place to grab a piping-hot pick-me-up, you might also find its freshly roasted beans around town at your favorite eateries, grocers and workspaces.

Old-Time Favorite

Wilmington
Newcomers to Brandywine Hundred might do a double take when they spot the façade of this popular burger joint, which looks like a set from Back to the Future or Happy Days. Seemingly, not much has changed since 1956, when the Sam, Marty, Lou and Aaron Sloan brothers opened the restaurant. (The siblings also started The Dog House in New Castle.) Over the years, the restaurant has undergone renovations, but the décor stays true to its roots as the place where guys with crew cuts and girls with ponytails sipped milkshakes and shared fries after the big game.

Stanley’s has been a Brandywine Hundred landmark since the 1930s, but it wasn’t until Bill Brooks purchased it in 1972 that the corner restaurant became a destination for sports fans. Partly, that’s because Brooks bought one of the area’s first large-screen TVs. Stanley’s was also on the cutting edge when it began selling Buffalo chicken wings, now the top-selling appetizer.
Place to Cool Off
Editors: Fusco’s Italian Water Ice
Wilmington
Since 1957, Fusco’s Original Water Ice has helped Wilmington’s Little Italy residents take the heat off. The red, white and green stand is famous for its fine, smooth ice, flavored with fresh lemon juice and flecks of zest. The new generation, however, has taken a broader view. Joe Staffieri added new flavors and a new food cart, a familiar site near Lewes Beach last year. In April, he opened a location on Kirkwood Highway. Both sites now serve tomato pie from Staffieri’s pal Nick Vouras of Nick’s Pizza.
Place to Get on the Wait List
Editors: The Brandywine Restaurant
Wilmington
Restaurateur Bill Irvin has a knack for creating a buzz. Three years after its opening, it’s still a coup to land a reservation at Snuff Mill Restaurant, Butchery & Wine Bar. Irvin’s latest addition, The Brandywine Restaurant, also boasts an air of exclusivity—an if-you-know-you-know vibe. The Brandywine’s elegant dining room sweetens the appeal; it’s a bit Orient Express and a little French bistro-ish. There’s nothing like it in Delaware for lunch, happy hour or dinner.
Place to Have Honey Wine with Your Honey

Wilmington
Delaware’s first meadery and cidery boasts a 5,000-square-foot patio, perfect for sipping a fermented honey-based brew or hard cider outdoors. The funky, industrial décor of the indoor tasting room and production facility also draws a lively crowd. Founders Terry Sorantino and Jeffrey Cheskin pack the house with a steady stream of tasting events and local food truck collaborations, but the sweet taste of their award-winning meads, all made with local apiary preservative-free honey, keep patrons coming back.

For centuries, the Ottoman Empire dominated parts of Eastern Europe, the Middle East and North Africa, creating a network of shared dishes, including kebabs, baklava, hummus, falafel, stuffed grape leaves and rice pilaf. However, there are variations depending on the region. At Aroma, owner Murat Tan takes an elevated approach to Middle Eastern and Turkish fare. The menu features lamb, of course, but Aroma is near the beach, so expect whole or filleted branzino and grilled fish.

Go for the traditional (house-made tomato sauce, Italian buffalo milk mozzarella and pesto) or get fancy with a flatbread topped with andouille, chorizo, rotisserie chicken, tomato sauce, fried garlic and Calabrian chili honey.
