I would love to go to Little Italy but need a place where 5 cars can park. If no place exists in that area, I am willing to go to other parts of Wilmington. Any suggestions? Thanks Wed Dec 03 09:13:41 -0800 2008 61972 rockpile 1 4218637 My absolute favorite Little Italy restaurant is Luigi Vitrone's Pastabilities but it is a bit cramped and parking is purely on-street. Pomodoro is up there as well in quality and I believe has valet parking. Both have websites, Luigi's is on Lincoln st, Pomodoro is on union. Best bet with a lot is Toscana......however, it is a bit more pricey and just outside Little Italy.

Toscana is great and has a parking lot, but it's not "Little Italy Italian," if you get my drift. There is also the option of Scalessa's, which is not in Little Italy either--it's on Greenhill, I think around the corner of 6th. I haven't been there, but they do have a parking lot, and when I was at my (Italian) hairdresser's the other day, another customer referred to it as the best Italian in Wilmington. If you go there, please report back! Wed Dec 03 19:10:06 -0800 2008 4218637 14255 travelmad478 1 4219606 I would try Toscana, it is authentic, reasonable and has plenty of parking.

But I had to go with the large ravioli of the day - lobster, ricotta, and mushroom-filled in a lobster reduction sauce - absolutely delicious! Fri Dec 19 12:51:13 -0800 2008 4248867 61972 rockpile
