    Our first time dining experience at Floriana’s was nothing short of outstanding from the moment we walked in until we had to part ways. Both the hostess/manager and our server (Skylar) were so endearing. The food was phenomenal. We are already planning our next visit when we come back to Wilmington.

    It was our first time and I was a bit nervous, having selected this restaurant for my wife's birthday dinner celebration. We were not disappointed! Our waitress was so friendly, made excellent recommendations, and could not have been happier to welcome us. However, the food was the star! The meet was so tender, it basically melted in your mouth. The arugula salad that accompanied my selection was absolutely delicious; my wife's selection, the steak frites, equally so. We will definitely return!

    We went to Caprice Bistro to celebrate my husband’s birthday and the experience was perfection. Upon entering, he was wished a happy birthday which made him feel so special. We were seated at a table with a beautiful view of the lights outside. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable. I can’t say enough good things about our meal. We got the trout and the Waterzooi. Both were fantastic! The star of the show was the dessert….the profiteroles were the best I’ve ever had. A memorable night and we definitely will go back.
