Taste of Italy, a benefit for the West End Neighborhood House, is taking place later this week.

It takes place on May 17th, 18th, and 19th, and features 26 venues - 13 restaurants and 13 small businesses.  The restaurants will have special menus, and all businesses will donate a percentage of sales (generally 15%) to the community center.  Wilmingtonic's top pick is Pomodoro, which is easily the best authentic Italian restaurant in New Castle County, maybe the state.  But there is something for every taste.  Participating restaurants are:

Pomodoro, Pastabilities, Bang Kok House, Blue Parrot, Dead Presidents, Juliana's Kitchen, Kozy Korner, Madeline's, Mona Lisa, Mrs. Robinos, Tijuana Taco Shop, Union City Grille, and Walter's Steakhouse. 

Participating businesses include:
Yatz Steaks & Subs, Walt's Flavor Crisp, The Little Kitchen, Sansones Seafood, Papa's Pastry Shop, Fierro & Sons Cheeses,  El Toro Mexican Food, Crimson Moon Tavern, Black Lab Breads, and Capriotti's.
