CLAYMONT STEAK SHOP
The cheesesteak is packed

PICCOLINA TOSCANA
After 25 years, Toscana still leads the pack, offering consistently excellent modern Italian food. The savory capellini al pomodoro has been a menu mainstay since day one.

THE HOUSE OF WILLIAM & MERRY
If I have guests in town and I want to impress, I take them to sit at the bar overlooking the kitchen and ask Chef Bill Hoffman to cook whatever he likes.
