Very nice location, right by the river. Nice interior, although nothing lavish. Service was top notch, our server was very polite and efficient. The food was very, very good. Ordered the stripped bass and was perfect. Wine selection was super light on the white wines, 5 or 6 choices with only two Italian ones. But overall, a very good dinner experience, not rushed, good ambiance, not loud and very reasonable prices.

This place was phenomenal. The atmosphere was amazing. It’s hard to find a great atmosphere with great food as well. This place has both. We sat in the window balcony. We went on a Sunday night, so it wasn’t as busy. Our experience and our food was exceptional. We had the lasagna and the short rib ragu. Highly recommend!! We ended the night with canolis and an espresso mousse along with an espresso martini and Irish coffee. So good. Definitely will be coming back if we’re in this area again!

This place was amazing! Our server did an excellent job and he gave great recommendations. The drinks were delicious. The food was phenomenal! The duck maybe the best thing I've ever tasted! I will definitely be returning next time I am in Wilmington!

Excellent food in a two story bistro setting, with mini veranda tables. The Black Gnocchi is inventive and full of excellent tastes. The Salumi & Formaggio was basic, sparse, not worth the price. The Lamb Gnocchi also had a lot great flavor, but was short on lamb. There is a full bar and a wine list. Service was excellent.

Returned to the Floriana overlooking downtown Wilmington after 20 years for an anniversary dinner last night, and I cannot imagine anything less than 5 stars for this incredible establishment! I wish I could give 10!!! It’s one of the few places that has the perfect location and view and exceptional cuisine and service. Our date was truly bliss and the only complaint I have is that it had to end. Whether you are seated inside the cozy interior or score a balcony seat, you will happy beyond description with every part of your experience. We started with the bar’s take on a Paper Plane called Discovery Flight-a delicious bourbon-based drink…so good, we ordered a second! The appetizer black gnocchi in lobster cream with shrimp appetizer sounds filling, but was somehow light and so delicious. Handmade gnocchi pillows with creamy dreamy sauce and their complimentary bread to sop it up with fresh bright basil oil…pure magic. Hubs had the tortilloni mignon stuffed with tenderloin in a pomodoro cream sauce that was so lush and smooth. I absolutely loved the halibut with creamy smashed red potatoes, tender baby carrots, and amazing herb sauce and rosemary butter…it was divine! We splurged for dessert and had decadent tiramisu and crunchy, creamy cannoli. How often do you feel like you get more than what you pay for with the perfect view, delicious food and portion size, and service that was so attentive, you didn’t have to ask for a single thing? Thank you, Danielle!!! It was well worth it, and we will return every opportunity we can while this chef, management, and staff are in business!
