Angelo’s Luncheonette, Wilmington, DE., 4/4/24

exterior – 1722 N Scott St, Wilmington, DE 19806

Angelo’s Luncheonette was started by the Muzzi family in 1967.  August Muzzi, who started there at age  17 still works the grill at the old-school luncheonette that is in a 1894 building.  He doesn’t like change and not much has changed at this cute cozy place.   His son, daugther and son-in-law all work in the place named for August’s father Angelo.  The Biden family are regular patrons and an election poster from his days in the Senate hangs next to a letter to Muzzi from Biden.  Someone in the family was a huge Elvis fan as there are a ton of memorabilia and photos decorating the place.  The small place had counter stools in front of the cooking and prep areas and a few small booths on the opposite wall.  They serve only breakfast and lunch and are cash only (they do have a debit machine on-site).  The staff were all very friendly and helpful and the food was quite good.  It’s a funky one-of-a-kind place that I hope all will get to visit while it’s still in business.
