I?ve never been here prior or even heard of this place before a few days ago because I don?t live in Delaware, so finding this place was a total shot in the dark while hoping the reviews were accurate?I couldn?t have been happier!
My best friends had just given birth to my God Daughter at Christiana Hospital and everything was fine, well, except one thing, hospital food! I ended up finding Caffe Gelato through Google and called to see if they could not only put together a GREAT meal, but NOT for pick up, I was hoping they could deliver a personal dinner experience right to their room at the hospital; without hesitation they said, ?Absolutely!?
I stopped by at 11:30am when Jeff sat down with me and put together a fantastic surf and turf meal for two with appetizers and dessert! Ok, cool, the meal is good to go, but are my friends going to eat great food off of paper plates? Nope! At the delivery around 5pm (same day) they came with everything you?d eat with as if you were actually sitting down in the restaurant, including cloth napkins and wine glasses! (Jeff gave me directions to a close wine store so they opened the bottle for my friends there as well!)
My friends were floored! Caffe Gelato made me look like a might be a good God Father but far more importantly an amazingly special dinner that really doesn?t happen in a hospital.
If Caffe Gelato went out of their way to do this on a delivery, I can?t wait to come back and eat there! (For complete transparency, the food was $94, the delivery was $5, yes $5, and I tipped $25) Thanks to all the staff that helped make this happen!
Oh, all the dinnerware and glasses?? Caffe Gelato left a container in their room and just asked that ?when we had time? please just drop off the container at the restaurant. Cool, huh.
