Other than having to wait for a bit to be seated, which is completely understandable this time of year, we had a wonderful meal! Everything was delicious and Mary, our server, was fantastic!

Piccolina Toscana has been a favorite restaurant of mine since they first opened decades ago. Food is consistently good, new items often appear on the menu and the preparations are always flavorful and interesting. When newcomers move to or visit Wilmington and ask for a restaurant recommendation, I always refer them to Piccolina Toscana because I know they will have a memorable experience. Pasta's are phenomenal, thin crust pizzas are savory and delicious, fish dishes are cooked to perfection and side dishes are always interesting Dan Butler, owner and chef, takes pride in his restaurant and knows what his customers like. He has great take out menus, does catering, and tonight in honor of an Italian Christmas tradition, he included a pre-fixe "Feast of of the Seven Fishes' to his regular menu which is what I ordered. From the tuna tartar to the cod in lemon and the house made fettuccini with spinach, each bite was bursting with flavor. Thank you Dan Butler!! You always get it right!!

The primary issue for us was that the wait service was very poor, even taking into account that our reservation was for a Saturday night. We finally had to summon a water server to ask what we needed to do for the privilege of having a waiter take our order. Within the next 30 seconds our waiter finally materialized.

Great food and service. My wife, son and I ordered the polpo & calamari fritti and a salad as appetizers, short rib, ahi tuna, and rigatoni alla brasata for entrees, and a couple of desserts and wine. We all were pleased with our selections. Service was very good.

Great, innovative cocktail program; delicious food; excellent, friendly service; and beautiful, reasonably-priced wine list. Through all its iterations, Toscana has remained one of the most consistently excellent restaurant options in Delaware.

Disappointing experience at a favorite and usually reliable restaurant. Entrees arrived dried out and the side was overcooked and mushy. We'll go back, but warily.

This was our first time visiting but it won't be the last. There are definitely some interesting offerings on the menu. We went with one of the hostess' recommendations and tried the grilled octopus appetizer. It was delicious and took me back to Rome where I last had grilled octopus. Highly recommend!
