When it comes to homestyle and authentic Italian food, Wilmington is one of the best cities in the country. Our Little Italy neighborhood is full of restaurants where you’ll find homemade pasta, fresh cannoli, and chicken parmesan worth waiting in line for – but if you’re looking for the best meatballs in Delaware, you’ve got to head down towards Trolley Square. There’s a restaurant that popped up just a few years ago and quickly earned a reputation for serving authentic and delicious meatballs that taste just like Grandma used to make.

Scalessa's My Way Italian Kitchen is an old school restaurant in the heart of Wilmington's Forty Acres neighborhood.
