I lived in DE many years ago. I was there when Iron Hill opened. It was my favorite restaurant then and it is still up to that high standard. Everything was as I remembered; lovely atmosphere, good service and great food. Thank you not changing over all these years.

We are regulars at Caffe Gelatto because the food, service, and drinks are great. It was this time as well except for two changes in the menu. The gnocchi has been removed from the menu and the menu for salmon has been changed in the way it is cooked and added salsa topping. The salmon was not enjoyed at all. Change it back please.
