Delaware has had a large Italian population since the southern Europeans made their way into the United States. Wilmington's Little Italy hosts one of the largest Italian festivals in the world, and the Little Italy neighborhood is rich inc culture and cuisine. If you're looking for an authentic Italian-American restaurant in the heart of the neighborhood, look no further than Mrs. Robino's Restaurant.
Mrs. Robino's Italian Restaurant in Wilmington's Little Italy has been around since 1940.
