The Legendary Scalessa’s In Delaware Makes Exceptional Homemade Meatballs

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.

Since it opened in 2016, Scalessa's has been the place to go for authentic homestyle Italian dishes.

You'll find classics like cheesy gnocchi, chicken parmesan, and homemade pasta on the menu.

The crab and spaghetti is one of the most popular on the menu, and locals love the fresh crabmeat and flavorful sauce.

Scalessa's claim to fame, though, is their old-fashioned meatball recipe.

There are dozens of meatballs made by hand every single day, and you can order a meatball salad, sandwich, or simply spaghetti and meatballs.

Dining at Scalessa's is sure to make you feel like you've walked back into your Grandma's kitchen for Sunday supper.

Scalessa's is open Monday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., and on Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 9:30 a.m.
