Jared was an excellent server. He was attentive and patient and accommodating. The food was awesome. Everything was well-presented, fresh, and well-seasoned. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting or living in Wilmington.

The food was incredible as well as the service! I was able to order an outstanding Greek table wine that I haven't had since I was in Greece last September! The Italian bread that was served was actually real Italian bread!!! Hands down One of my favorite restaurants in the area!

The blueberry ribeye was ordered medium and came out very rare. Another blueberry ribeye was ordered medium well and it came out well done with charred surfaces. Server was outstanding and atmosphere wonderful. It must be noted that they offered to correct it.

I really really really wanted to give Floriana’s a better review. The staff was super friendly and the restaurant itself is very nice and romantic. But the food is where they fall short. All the pictures and reviews online were great so we were excited and had high expectations. The pesto and bread was a decent start, the pesto was amazing but the bread was a little tough. For an appetizer, we attempted to order the mussels and they were out which is totally fine so we went with the servers recommendation of the black lobster gnocchi. The gnocchi was soft but ultimately flavorless and the lobster cream sauce also was very light in flavor. The shrimp that comes with the appetizer was the best part. My boyfriend loved his entree, the blueberry ribeye. I ordered the scallop and shrimp risotto. The scallops were delicious and so were the shrimp but there were only 2 of each. The scallops were a good size but I was definitely a little disappointed that for $29 you get only 2 shrimp. The risotto itself was undercooked so after the protein was gone, I didn’t eat much more.

Only good thing about this restaurant is the balcony seating. Food was beyond bland and way overpriced for how poor it was. Bread was stale and inedibly chewy. Waitress came by maybe twice, didn’t write anything down (which in itself is okay) but got our drink order wrong. Two mains, one beer and one cocktail was $100. Completely overpriced and beyond disappointing food. Go somewhere else for a real meal. Would be fine if you just want a glass of wine while sitting outside but that’s about it.

Outstanding, delicious food. The indoor music was loud, difficult across table conversation because of music.

The food was perfect the ambience was perfect, would have preferred a different balcony seat with a better view.

Had an awesome dinner on the private balcony with my wife. It was her birthday, and the Floriana staff was very accommodating to that. High quality food with amazing views of Wilmington. Can't wait for our next meal there!

We were there on a Monday at lunch so very quiet. We were the only people in the dining room. The food was okay. My pasta was undercooked and the eggplant was too mushy. I ordered wine and it tasted like it had been open for a while - bottles not pumped. My husband did love his cream of asparagus soup! It was not a great as I was expecting. Perhaps dinner experience/food would be better.

Balcony seats are worth the wait. Food was very tasty
