I have lived in Wilmington for 7 years and Floriana has always been one of my favorite restaurants. It is always fresh, delicious, and worth every penny. It’s also incredibly cheap compared to other restaurants who offer the same level of food!!

This was our second visit to Floriana. Unfortunately, it did not live up to our first visit. We ordered the Gnocchi shrimp and the mussels for appetizers. Very disappointing. The mussels were not tasty nor did they taste fresh and no crisp toast which usually accompanies this dish. The Gnocchi dish was underwhelming and somewhat bland. Our main dishes had mixed reviews. My salmon and my husband's lamb were absolutely delicious. Our guests commented that their dishes, the bolognese dish and the shrimp and scallops risotto meal, were both a little salty. We finished off with the espresso chocolate mousse which we all agreed was wonderful. Overall, the service was excellent, but the food was a mixed bag. Also, it would be nice if the restaurant put more effort into creating a more pleasant ambiance in the upstairs dining area. It's somewhat dark and lacks character. I expect more when dining in a higher end restaurant. It matters and is important to the overall dining experience. I would still recommend this restaurant as our first visit was very pleasing all around.

Not sure if they were having an off night, but, based on this experience, I would not choose to go back. It’s unfortunate, as it’s such a great atmosphere and location. The waiter was very friendly, but, also, not very attentive as it took well over 15 minutes for him to approach the table to begin the evening. When ordering coffee to start, we were told they were out of milk and creamer. Seemed odd. In addition, the main entrees took an extraordinarily long time to arrive. The waiter sensed it too and proactively apologized for the timeliness, which I appreciated. The filet was overdone, but ok. The hostesses were fantastic! Super helpful and informative.

Food and service were excellent. Great attention to details in both food and service. We were fortunate to seated be inside. The balcony table guests that were facing into sunset appeared to be struggling.
