Good Eats, A Delaware Restaurant Guide

Tired of eating the same handful of dining hall dishes? Want to get away from campus for a bit? The city of Delaware is home to plenty of good restaurants with a variety of different cuisines. So let's take a deeper dive into what a few of these restaurants have to offer.

Starting it off is Ohana Island Grill and Bar on William Street, just west of Sandusky Street. Ohana claims to be a Hawaiian barbecue restaurant, and they are exactly such.

Their menu is full of pork, chicken, and beef, all cooked to tender perfection. Some dishes can be served over a bed of rice and greens or on a bun. For those who do not eat meat, they also serve a tofu dish to substitute for your protein. The restaurant is cute on the inside, decorated to the gills with the island vibe. In the warmer months, their outdoor patio is the perfect place to spend a nice day.

Next is The Old Bag of Nails Pub off of Sandusky Street and just south of Central Avenue. Old Bag of Nails is an Irish pub with a variety of menu items. With a variety of different seafood options, especially the fish and chips, it's hard not to find something to love here. Half-pound burgers, baskets of wings, and a lunch menu for a quick and lighter snack.

Inside of Old Bag of Nails, you will find a nice space with a European essence.  The outdoor space is just as nice, if not better. A patio space connected to a full outdoor bar with TVs keeps everyone happy.

And finally, Amato’s Woodfired Pizza off Sandusky and William Street. Amato’s isn’t the prototypical pizza joint. Their wood-fired pizza is crisped very nicely and comes with a variety of choices for all to enjoy.

Gluten Free? Well, you’re in luck because Amato’s has a gluten-friendly crust. Not in the mood for pizza? Amato’s menu is full of other Italian favorites and sandwiches for all to enjoy. The inside is cozy, with a nice view of the big wood-fired oven that will cook your pizza. The outside patio is just on the corner of Sandusky and William, just behind the Rutherford B. Hayes statue on the corner.
