About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Lively
  • Charming
The latest addition of the celebrated ARDO Hospitality Group led by co-owners, Sicilian-born Chef Roberto Marotta and Jacqueline Nicosia, Bar ARDO is for the discerning and culinary curious without ever being pretentious. It’s the place you can meet friends for a casual, authentic aperitivo that turns into dinner. It’s an expression of serendipity when a memorable night just happens but feels fated.

Offering an array of small plates for convivial cocktail hour to generously portioned shareable dishes for leisurely repasts, the dining experience is punctuated by a curated selection of Old and New World wines, along with an innovative selection of signature cocktails, like the Carla Carla – an ocean infused martini elevated with caviar, alongside an exceptional assortment of non-alcoholic libations like the perfectly balanced Dry Pina which includes charred pineapple, pink peppercorn and a touch of chili.

    Absolutely fabulous experience — both the meal and the service were top-tier. From the moment I walked in, it was clear they genuinely care about delivering an exceptional dining experience and real value for money. I had requested a well-done steak, but when it arrived, it wasn’t quite cooked to my preference. Without hesitation, the staff went above and beyond to make things right. Not only did they offer to recook the steak, but they also brought me another dish on the house while I waited — a thoughtful touch I truly appreciated. When the steak came back, it was a completely fresh one, perfectly prepared just the way I like it. The service throughout was outstanding — warm, attentive, and truly guest-focused. I left feeling valued and impressed. This is a restaurant that truly stands behind its commitment to quality and hospitality. Highly recommend.

    What a wonderful spot! Chilled vibe, excellent service, good music, stylish, and of course, delicious food. We wanted to try one of everything! Roberto and his team were so friendly - the Italian hospitality that welcomes you into their home and serves you only the highest quality of ingredients. We can’t wait to go back!

    Bar Ardo never disappoints! Great selection of appetizers and main courses - service is top notch and there is a good vibe and atmosphere but you can hear each other talk. Will be back soon!
