No frills Italian. Very good at what it does, with a few interesting options if you’re feeling a little more adventurous. Like the chicken pesto sandwich, has pastrami, balsamic vinegar, goat cheese, and roasted red peppers, was definitely one of the more interesting Italian sandwiches I’ve had. I think I will opt for something a little more traditional next time because their red sauce is real good. This place will be in the lunch rotation for sure.
Small little whole in the wall with fresh, amazing food and wonderful service. The waitress was very enthusiastic and checked on us consistently. The food is to die for! A little on the pricier side but it's worth the extra buck than doing the popular classics. I highly recommend to anyone in the Wilmington/Topsail area.
Food is always consistently good. I really like their spaghetti and meatballs. Good thin crust pizzas with fresh ingredients. We ordered for takeout today, they do a great job packing it all up.
A crowded place, but we were lucky and got a table right away. 5 minutes later the wait was 30 minutes. An unassuming storefront in a strip mall, there's a sign inside the door asking you to step to the counter to be seated. Service was friendly and efficient, very nice. The food smelled delicious and tasted great.
I've had nothing but great experiences at Italian Bistro. The service and food has always been excellent, and the restaurant is clean and well run. Attached is a picture of the Adriatic salad, a kids pizza, and a medium Hawaiian pizza.
So as an Italian and a New Yorker you can believe that I grew up on good pizza. We’ll let me tell you that the pizza here was not only good but it was GREAT! The sauce is not only plentiful but sweet and tangy as I like it. The crust thin and a bit crusty, with lots of pepperoni all cooked just right and this was on a pizza that was on the shelf for slices! I only wish they had a store in Savannah! Keep up the good work I may drive all the way here to try something else! Thanks
Dropped in for lunch. Had the calamari for an appetizer; large quantity. Ordered the bolognese pasta dish. Flavor was good. Also got an order of Gabriella chicken. Not bad.
Cozy, Italian restaurant for a lovely dinner of soup, salad, warm bread and pasta!! Good meal for a cold night!! They are known for their award winning pizza so we will be back to try that next!!
Oh my goodness! The pizza and bread knots were amazing!! We had the supreme. The love put into this was off the charts. The toppings were not scares. I have worked at 3 pizza places. I know great pizza. There was a different spice to it as well. Just enough oregano. You get what you pay for here. The delivery said it would be so much longer. We had it in no time. Way to go whoever worked July 12th around 2:00. Awesome meal! Oh and the delivery gentleman was so kind per my husband. I saw multiple compliments on Wilmington friends on FB as this is one of the best pizza places here. Thats why we came.
We were craving this pizza again. They don't do pick up or delivery after 8:45. Understandable. No way was I going anywhere else. We will see you later today. But way earlier 😁
This pizza is rediculous! Thank you Ashley for your amazing customer service. I don't know what you put in this pizza. It's amazing. I work across from you at Holiday Inn Express and live next to you.I share slices to my coworkers. Great to know you sell slices as well. I always tell people to come there.i see competition company's when I help out. I always say to go to you. Best pizza! Thank you for constant amazing service from all your staff. July 23rd at 2:00. See you soon!
Italian Bistro was a pleasant surprise. We tried the pizza and drink lunch special and the chicken Parmesan sandwich and fries. It took awhile to get the food, but it was worth the wait. The pizza lunch special was a great price and toppings were only 25 cents each. Tasty crust and toppings. Chicken parm was also excellent with delicious marinara sauce, plenty of cheese, and crispy and flavorful chicken. Staff were always ready with drink refills. Absolutely worth braving the Market Street traffic.
We stopped in late, but they served us anyway. And it was excellent. Best pizza we've had in a while. Service was outstanding! Taylor served us.
We will Definately be back. ☺
It took us way too long to get ourselves here! It has a very simple decor- not a fancy date night spot- BUT hits it out of the park for food and service. Sarah took wonderful care of us: professional, knowledgeable, friendly, warm service. We also noticed that all guests were greeted like old friends, leading us to think they were regulars. They have A LOT of regulars, which is always a good sign. And though the indoor dining area is small (they do have outdoor seating), the counter was busy with take-out orders the whole time we were there.
Kudos on a well run business, good hiring practices, excellent food, and giving us a fantastic experience!
Consistently great Italian! This time we opted for chicken parm, cheese manicotti and we took home dessert, tiramisu and cheesecake.
Food is always delicious here! Garlic knots are the best we have ever had. We enjoy sitting outside under the lights.
Decided to order from the Hampstead location today after reading the lowest reviews from the original in Wilmington and seeing the owner's responses. Didn't even need to check the good reviews before deciding to order. I legit just ate myself sick on this pizza. That Margherita is crazy.
When I called, I got put on hold for a few minutes and they either didn't have a hold button or forgot to use it so, I heard a couple of conversations at the front counter while I waited. I taught sales and communication and have to say they handled an awkward conversation with a customer like absolute pros. The girl who took my order was exceptionally nice and took an extra moment to make polite conversation. Small stuff like that is a big deal in customer service. It was, maybe, 15 seconds of conversation so nobody was forced to wait but it made the experience much better. The delivery guy was really friendly and polite as well and they got here faster than I expected. Wish I'd gotten employee names to call them out individually.
The food was great. Y'all should remember to separate cold items because my tiramisu was soup once it got here but everything else was so good, particularly the service, that I decided not to even call and let them know. We'll definitely order again.
Went here for lunch and I'm glad I did! The staff was friendly and service fast. I got a pepperoni and sausage stromboli served with fresh marinara sauce and loved it. There was plenty of inside and outside seating and my waitress was very attentive. The inside was really clean and had an American-Italian restaraunt feel to it. The price was extremely low in my opinion considering how good the food was and how fast/great the service was! 10/10 would recommend!
