Each ristorante has a salumeria(deli) and a pasticceria (bakery) in house.

Morgan, the server was very pleasant and efficient. But the Raviolis were hard on the outside and the edges. Even harder like it was frozen and they didn't cook it properly. I'm a senior citizen and can't afford a $20. BAD MEAL OUT!!

Very good Italian at the beach. We've been to Touch of Italy since they were were a tiny place in town, and like it even more now that it's a fully service restaurant on Highway 1. The Italian cookies are delicious, especially the Bacci cookies...- to die for. Reasonably priced.More

We went to this restaurant for the first time and we were seated promptly. The food was very good. Unfortunately, the wait for our food was about 45 minutes and we had a child with us. Everything went slower than what we would have expected....Thank goodness we got some delicious bread to hold us over.More

A delish family friendly NY restaurant in the middle of Rehoboth. The manager makes it easy to come back. The food and pastries just delish. This is our spot when we visit. The staff are super friendly, and the food is oh so good. Looking...forward to our next visit to see all the new updates to the restaurant!More

The service was a little slow which is to be expected these days but the food was delicious. Tried the pizza & lasagna. Of course, had to try desert because everything in display case look so good. The cheesecake was yummy.

This is a great place for lunch or dinner, or just for a drink and some exponentially good munchies. Relaxed atmosphere, mid range prices, delicious food. I had the special, pork osso bucco. I don't know how often they offer it, but when they do,...get it. You will not be disappointed. Pasta was very good too.More

Waitress was lovely food wasn’t good. Eggplant was not cooked through could barely cut it with a knife. The ravioli were just cheap supermarket frozen ravioli and the sauce is very acidic.

Stumbled upon this while looking for a pre-race pasta meal. Ambience is very nice, New York themed. Walking right into the dessert area is deadly. Service was a little slow as it appeared, like most places right now, to be slightly understaffed. Staff was friendly....Came back the following day and got desserts which were incredible. The meal was fine, just a little surprised. Not certain if this were a difference in pricing, but for similar places in Va. would have received Italian bread at beginning as part of the meal and a salad for around 18-19 dollars. This was just a plate of lasagna for 25 so I thought this was a little high for the quantity of food.More

The best thing about this restaurant is the food. Although they were not busy it took awhile to get seated. Other than that the staff was very attentive and helpful. My salad was good, my daughters sandwich was excellent, and our appetizer was great. Went...back for dinner in Nov of 2022. Busy place. My mista salad was delicious. Everyone raves about the chicken parm. It was good but not great, portion was huge. They put Muenster cheese and mozzarella on it..not sure how I feel about that. Others at the table got the specials and enjoyed them. Pasta side was good. Atmosphere is better for lunch. Hard wooden chairs around a cramped table in a packed restaurant is more conducive for lunch. Not a relaxing fine dining experience.More

Wed was half price pasta night and also wine which brought us in. The dessert case looks great but we were full and did not try. Our waitress was awesome.Now the bad part. I ordered the Scampi which was so overly salted I would not...have finished it had I not been so hungry. I am amazed restaurants do this because you can always add salt but never remove it. My wife had the Gnocchi which also were heavily salted and had a thicker sauce than gnocchi usually have. I would love to try the Scampi again but tell them NO salt, I will add it myself.More

Everything we ordered was delicious. The bread for the table was crusty and warm. My caeser salad was crisp and well dressed. For entrees we had shrimp scampi and one of the pasta specials. Both dishes were so flavorful and had such delicious sauces. For...dessert we got the Ricotta cheesecake and a cannoli. Overall we really loved the food and the comforting environment of the restaurant.More

I've been coming to Rehoboth all my life (and I'm old) and I've just never come to this restaurant. Finally went last night and it was marvelous! Nicely decorated inside (and I believe that there was outside seating as well). The first thing you see...is a case full of delicious desserts :). We got a table right away and our server was a giant ray of sunshine named Nick. He was such a pleasant person and just made our evening so enjoyable. We split a misto salad and it was super fresh and crisp. I ordered a Manzano pizza which was very good with delicious perfect crust. Husband got the Pasta della Nonna and he LOVED it. Super flavorful and lots of shrimp! For dessert we shared a Limoncello gelato and it was wonderful. I bought a couple of the cream cheese chocolate cookies and they were not my jam. Others might enjoy them though. I found out that legit Italian ingredients come down from New York to a location in Lewes where the desserts are made and then brought to this location. I can't wait to return and enjoy some other options on the menu.More

No, you should be okay The only time that I have made a reservation is when there was a group of us going . The one on Rt. 1 in Rehoboth is larger than the one in Lewes. Enjoy. Mary Ann
