2 Best Restaurants in Wilmington, Delaware

Fresh ingredients, modern American dishes, and a well-rounded wine list are served in a neat dining room warmed by red wood tones and potted plants. Take it easy with a simple bacon cheeseburger with balsamic onions and buttermilk–blue cheese dressing, or step it up with ricotta cavatelli with duck confit, English peas, mushroom ragu, and ricotta salata cheese.

This three-in-one food boutique produces sweets and artisanal breads in the bakery, gourmet take-away in the market, and farm-to-table refinement in the dining room. Stock up on doughnuts and sticky buns for breakfast or pack out paté, imported cheese, and a rustic olive loaf for a picnic. Linger in golden evening light with pork osso buco with French lentils, wild mushroom lasagna, or pan-seared fillet alongside gnocchi with sweet-green-chili pesto.
