Scalessa's "My Way" Old School Italian Kitchen

I am from a very Italian family/town and I have to say this place was pretty good. The meatballs were good not great but good. They weren't as flavorful as I hoped but they were tender and definitely good . The size of dinner was huge I couldn't finish it . My server was enthusiastic but a little too loud for the size of the space . prices were great for the quality and amount of food served

It's a small no frills eatery with great food. The meatballs there were among the best I ever had.

We found this restaurant in Wilmington by chance, and we are so glad we did! The menu isn’t large but it was still difficult to choose what to order. Everything sounded delicious, and what we had truly was fantastic! The gnocchi is made without potatoes and it was so light and tasty. The sauce made you go back for one more bite, after another. The portions were generous so I was able to enjoy another meal for lunch, and was sad to eat my last bite of lasagna! Kudos to the chef! Well done! Our only suggestion would be a sampler platter with a little bit of everything!! Since that’s not an option we will be back!

Delicious! Meatballs are terrific, sauce is the real deal, and the Butter Cake! omgoodness, THE BUTTER CAKE! IT'S AMAZING! Nice people, too.

5 Stars isn't enough! Everything we ordered was absolutely DELICIOUS!!!!! The entire staff was welcoming and friendly. The service was excellent and the food...second to none. If you haven't been there, you HAVE to go!!!!
