Osteria Cicchetti - Wilmington

We reserved a table for 12. It was much too cramped, with two place settings in a range of 22 inches. The female, dark haired, heavy set manager was called. She was arrogant, divisive and totally rude. The very good waiter saved the day, arranged the neighboring table after the customers had left. The food was moderate, but the manager sealed the opportunity through their nastiness. I doubt that our monthly group will meet again in the near future. She needs retraining. Shame on this restaurant group for setting such a crow.

Excellent food, service and atmosphere. Consistent with one of my favorite dining places in Wilmington.

Reservations made a week in advance. Stated was a birthday party. The seat was in a main street. No confirmation of birthday. Bad customer service at the price.

Good food, good service, and good prices. Can’t ask for more!

We (2) dropped in for an unhurried dinner after arriving in town after a long day in the car. Osteria Cicchetti is n accessible large, central storefront in an upscale strip mall. We were promptly seated, the staff were all pleasant people; we had an enthusiastic young waitress and plenty of wait staff. We were seated in the huge main room with a view of kitchen. There is also a big side room plus a large and loud bar area. The atmosphere is lively with limited lighting. They offer a full wine list, the appetizers and menu are nearly exhaustive and Italian this is a place to languish with friends, although costs add up. Our drinks, calamari, and the veal and fish entrees were very good and service was attentive. We had no complaints. We are still in the exploratory stages of our move to near Wilmington, so everything is a new experiment. We had a bit more travel after the meal, so we limited our time, alcohol and food volumes. However, recycling back to Osteria is quite likely.
