    Best of Metromix Delaware: ITALIAN (FINE DINING)

    From the fresh seafood of northern Italy to the rich tomato sauces of Sicily, the cuisine of Italy is as varied as the restaurants on our list of the best in Delaware.

    And the winner is…

    Soffritto Italian Grill

    Soffritto Italian Grill

    1130 Kirkwood Highway
    Newark, DE 19711
    "This upscale spot on the way into Newark will remind you of the nicest family Italian dinners you've ever been invited to. Expect a lot of food (the Italian way), with a greater variety of veal and fish dishes than you might find elsewhere".~ Metromix

    "Soffritto serves a healthy mix of Northern and Southern Italian specialties, created with fresh ingredients, in a breathtaking atmosphere. Linguini pescatore is a specialty of chef Antonio Ramos, as is nearly every seafood dish, from langostinos to Dover sole. Wednesday is fish night, when a whole fish can be ordered and filleted tableside for a mere $19.99. The copper water feature spans an entire wall of the dining room, and a nearby stone fireplace mixes with terra cotta and earth tones inside one of the prettiest dining rooms around". ~ Delaware Today

    2009 Best Decor, Upstate, Critics

    Earth, air, fire water—it’s all at Soffritto Italian Grill. The restaurant scores big points for the stone hearth and fireplace and towering waterfall alone. But all the beef, veal, chicken and seafood classics are offered, as well as fun pastas such as ravioli in pesto. Trust us: You’ll feel like you’re dining a world away from Newark
