Iconic Italian cuisine is a key feature of Little Italy
Little Italy is home to some of Wilmington’s finest Italian establishments. You’ll have options for lots of local Italian eateries, whether it’s sitting down for home-cooked pasta at Luigi Vitrone’s Pastabilities or ordering a double-slice pizza and Italian water ice from the window at Bernie’s. Stop by Papa’s Food Market for authentic imported and domestic Italian specialties, or grab some homemade cheese from M. Fierro & Sons, known for their famous ricotta.
Little Italy residents know that El Toro's margaritas are the best in town.
Grotto Pizza is known the distinct swirl of tomato sauce on top of the cheese on their slices.
After a hearty meal, you can head home to one of the neighborhood’s Italianate-style rowhomes. You’ll find mostly older homes built in the early 1900s, where many Italian immigrants settled during that time. While there are lots of opportunities for investment, you’ll find some turnkey homes with internal renovations. Many homes feature small, fenced backyards and front porches right off the sidewalk. Prices range from about $150,000 to $380,000.
Homes use their colorful exteriors as a way to stand out from each other.
Most homes feature fenced-in backyards.
