A fire last Friday threatened one of Delaware's oldest and most well-known restaurants, Mrs. Robino's in Wilmington's Little Italy neighborhood.
Here is an email from one of Mrs. Robino's great-grandchildren, Andrea Wakefield:
Dear Ms. Talorico,
I wanted to write to you concerning Mrs. Robino's Restaurant. Last Friday when part of our business was on fire my world stopped for a few minutes. It was horrifying for me to see the smoke pouring from the business that my great grandmother started almost 70 years ago.
The Fire Fighters of the city of Wilmington were outstanding with their quick response. I can not believe how quickly they put out the fire and secured the building. The men working with Wilmington's department of License and Inspection were on the scene and advised us quickly of what needed to happen to get up and running. Delmarva Power has been also available to help and are working with us to get our gas and electrical system in order. Everyone's efforts have been very much appreciated.
The many employees of Mrs. Robino's, some who have been employed for over 20 years, rushed to the restaurant to help and lend their support. I also can not tell you how many our our loyal customers have called and expressed concern and have offered to help, wondering when we will be back in business.
Our family is committed to keeping Mrs. Robino's a tradition in Wilmington! Thank you again to the community for helping us get through this horrible event and supporting us throughout the years!
