Wilmington, Delaware – The historic DuPont Building at 111 West 10th Street has been transformed into DE.CO Food Hall, a new culinary destination featuring six separate dining concepts. Managed by the team behind Bardea Restaurant Group, the food hall opened in 2025 and quickly became a hub for local families and visitors seeking a variety of flavors under one roof.
Signature Offerings and Local Partnerships
Among the highlights is Angelo’s, which brings its celebrated Philadelphia cheesesteak to Wilmington on the same signature roll used on 9th Street in Pennsylvania. The partnership, launched in 2025, also introduces Angelo’s pizza made with the original dough recipe. In addition to classic cheesesteak and pizza, the hall offers sushi, fresh salads, and Mexican fare, providing options for a wide range of tastes.
Elevated Experiences Within the Hall
Café Nonna delivers an elevated dining experience with a dedicated bar and a separate dining room, while Bean by Bardea showcases James Beard semifinalist pastry chef Antimo DiMeo’s sweet and savory creations alongside a full espresso menu.
Community‑Focused Development
The project was supported by WSFS Bank, a Wilmington‑based institution that worked closely with the owners to create a dining destination that serves the community. By repurposing the historic building, the initiative preserves local heritage while generating new jobs and economic activity.
Looking Ahead
DE.CO Food Hall aims to become a gathering place for families, friends, and faith‑based groups, offering a safe, family‑friendly environment where residents can enjoy quality meals and support local entrepreneurs. The food hall’s diverse offerings and historic setting underscore Wilmington’s growing reputation as a vibrant culinary hub.
