Really great cocktails and pizza! My gluten free pizza was the best I have ever had...thin and crispy which is how I like it! The Italian salad was very good also!
A little concerned about the cleanliness. 1st red flag was when I went to the rest room, I watched a server put her tab book on the floor while she used the toilet, then picked it up and laid it in the counter and to wash her hands and return to work with the same book. I watched her the entire time to make sure that book didn't come anywhere near our table. I considered speaking to a manager, but didn't want to make a scene, that book touched several other surfaces. It was disgusting. Second red flag was the toothpick that was in my sandwich was used before, it had dried sauce on the flag part that my sandwich did not have on it. Immediate turn off. My son also warned me not to drink from the cups there dried was food and smudges on inside of the clean cups. I was quite grossed out and kinda bummed I spent about $80 total (between 3 of us + $10 tip - the serve me was a sweetheart) just to bring home my sandwich and throw it in the trash.I don't think we will go back, which is sad because they have gluten free and plant based options.
Chill outdoor seating and amazing scallops make this spot a must-visit, especially on a cool evening!

Yum! They had a ton of gluten free options! These scallops were amazing, sweet, and crispy on the outside (just the way I love them). The outdoor seating was perfect for the cool May evening, hope to be back again on my next work trip.
Absolutely amazing food, great gluten free pizza! Came in as a walk in with a large group, and they were so kind and patient. Kristin was phenomenal!!!!!
The food was pretty good, unfortunately there doesn't seem to be very many gluten-free options for those with gluten sensitivity or allergy. Also, a little on the expensive side.
Discover a cozy spot in Wilmington with a charming patio, a variety of options, and a delightful ambiance that keeps patrons returning.

Unique, delicious food! I had the Tlayudas Oaxaquenas - like a Oaxaca pizza(?). It’s smothered in delicious toppings I couldn’t name and rocked my world. Adventurous and gluten free! My companion had Enchiladas Coloradas and they were also delicious.
Bait and switch on the prices!
I wish I had seen the reviews about the 20% service fee before we went. This 20% fee has been reviewed badly for several months so it isn't something new they just tried, and the owner's excuses about the reasons for it ring hollow.
We chose this place because it was convenient to the Grand Opera House, the menu online looked reasonably priced, and they had gluten free items. At least some of the GF options are not really GF as they are cross contaminated, as an example the corn chips served with the GF crab dip are fried in the same oil with breaded options. I will say the server did tell me this and offered to bring a GF roll and some carrots and celery to dip. That was the best service we had during our meal, and I would add that the place was not crowded at least half the booths were empty when we arrived at it was never fully seated.
My son had ordered a glass of wine to come with his dinner, but it did not arrive with the meal. After frantically waving at our server several different times as she walked by, he started to get out of his seat to get her when she finally acknowledged him. She took another minute to get to us and then several more minutes to get the wine to him. We had told her, when we were seated just before 6:00, that we were going to a 7:30 performance at the Grand Opera House and needed to get our tickets at Will-Call, and she assured us we would have no problem.
We had finished our meal by about 6:44 and two of the three us wanted dessert, however, it took over 10 minutes to get our waitress' attention again and by that point we didn't feel we had time. I also had needed my water refilled for about 20 minutes by that point.
Then we received the check and were shocked to see a 20% service fee added. There was a line for "Additional tip" on the credit card slip, so it seemed clear that this 20% was intended as a tip. We all normally tip 20% and I sometimes more since I often have questions about my dietary restrictions that require the waitress to check with the chef. Since my son had been almost halfway through his dinner before getting his wine, and we were ignored for so long that we had to forgo dessert, none of us felt that we wanted to add anything to that 20%. To me, the 20% is a bait and switch on the menu prices.
As to the food: The crab dip had a lot of cheese in it, the Chilean salmon was perfectly cooked with a very oily, bland sauce under it, the fish and chips was described as "very good" but the coleslaw was described as "fairly flavorless". I seriously doubt that we will return.
This cozy spot is a local favorite for its vast pizza selection and relaxed atmosphere, with outdoor seating and a vibrant community vibe.

Gianni’s Pizza in Wilmington is one of those places that the locals frequent. I know this because locals turned me on to the place, and for good reason. This is a classic Italian eatery for great thin-crust pizza (many, many to choose from) by the pie or slice, fantastic cheesesteaks and loaded subs. The business here is quite robust in this rather small pie-wedge shaped brick building. There is seating available outside and on the second floor. Gluten-free pizza dough is also available. Highly recommended.
We chose Harry’s Savoy Grill for my mom’s 70th birthday dinner, and sadly, it was a letdown. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere felt off. The stares we received upon walking in made it clear that African Americans dining there might not be the norm — very strange and uncomfortable. It gave off “rally” vibes that left us feeling out of place.
The noise level was unbearable, thanks to a table next to us that was clearly over-served. The staff didn’t seem to address it, even though it was obvious everyone was ready for them to leave.
The food was mediocre at best. The only vegan option was a hollowed-out squash with under-seasoned beans spilling over the plate — bland and unappetizing. No gluten-free pasta options were available, and the potatoes tasted like a bowl of oil. For a restaurant positioned as upscale, the food and overall experience were disappointing.
The only bright spot was being able to spend time with my family and celebrate my mom’s milestone, but I won’t be back. Definitely not worth the hype — next time, I’ll be paying closer attention to the reviews.
With a stylish vibe and impressive decor, it's a great spot to enjoy delicious meals while accommodating diverse dietary needs.

I was so impressed with the service at Capers & Lemons, particularly for catering to dietary restrictions. I was with colleagues and because I generally do not trust restaurants to have GF options, I had fully planned on just having something to drink and skipping lunch.
However, the server was knowledgeable about what could and couldn't be prepared gluten-free, as well as realistic about the risk of cross-contamination. I'm a super sensitive celiac and opted not to risk the GF pasta, but the kitchen was able to prepare me a baked chicken breast to put on a plain salad.
Despite being minimally-seasoned chicken on a plain house salad, I thought it was delicious! The chicken was moist and flavorful. The food my colleagues got looked amazing as well. There was GF/DF lemon sorbetto which was perfect for a hot day - I couldn't finish it, but it was so good. Altogether it was nice to be able to enjoy lunch and dessert safely.
Also, the ambiance was super cool. Loved the decor, in particular the unique light fixture in the dining room.
Highly recommend this restaurant.
What a wonderful Wilmington gem! Chic vibe, great staff, good coffee, and even Gluten Free wraps! Definitely one of my favorite breakfast places in the Wilmington area!
Elegance and delicious! The chef has creative ideas and they're willing to accommodate dietary (gluten free) requests! I hope the remodeling results in keeping much of the architectural aspects and definitely the staff!
Gluten free, dairy free, and vegan options. Great location, delicious food, good variety, knowledgeable and attentive staff. We dined on July 4th. Justin, our waiter, was very professional and friendly. He knew the menu well and suggested accommodations for our food intolerances (party of 4). We enjoyed a tasty dinner with no side effects. We highly recommend this lovely restaurant with caring staff. 👍
