    I am a content creator who newly moved to Delaware. I heard great things about Bardea & they truly lived up to the type. I loved my experience there. My server Maria was amazing and the food was delicious. I will definitely be back.

    Open kitchen. Nice bar. Even with every table filled and a happening vibe, we enjoyed an intimate dinner for 2. Very professional and attentive service. Food came out very slowly. Not a criticism. Everything we tried was delicious. Loved the maitake mushrooms.

    We had the best experience here. It was my husbands 40th bday dinner and we were greeted with champagne, a happy birthday message from the chef on our menus, a scoop of gelato with a candle at dessert. Our server was amazing and the food really was top notch. Thank you Bardea!

    Delicious and creative menu. Energetic atmosphere (can be a little loud). Great for celebrations. I have dined here several times. A favorite.

    Food was overall decent. Some things excellent, some so-so. Pacing was terrible. Waiting sometimes 20 minutes between plates. We were brought one of our plates twice and the server seemed shocked that we had already gotten it. We saw two other tables turn away food they hadn’t ordered, including one table that had to turn away three plates that were not meant for them.

    Bardea is always great. The new menu is fantastic. We recommend the chicken parm bao bun to start. We shared the halibut which was delicious. We both chose the agnolotti. It was one of our favorite pasta dishes. As always, Emily was a wonderful server with great recommendations. She is always personable and professional. Thanks to her and the entire team for a great experience.
