    We chose Bardea for our Friday night get together. We were very pleased with the service , attentive but not rushed. The timing of bringing out the food let us savor each dish. The shrimp cocktail was a big hit. Large prawns served on ice. The meat balls were great as was the chicken. All and all a memorable evening

    Food and presentation are wonderful. It’s really nice having the server bring the dish to your table and take the time to explain what it is and the ingredients used . It makes the dining experience feel more chef-inspired. My party literally ordered almost everything on the menu and enjoyed trying all the new dishes and some favorites from past visits.

    This was my 3rd visit within the last 3 months. I came with friends who had not been before so it was extra fun to see them experience how great it is. The Little Gem Salad, Burrata Pop Tart (actually puff pastry), Diver Scallops, Avocado app and the Spicy Honey pizza. Everything was loved by all. Excellent from presentation to the variety of delicious and unexpected flavors and combinations. And the Sicilian Rose 🌹

    My first choice was the NY Strip, but it only comes in 14oz size, way more than I would eat, even sharing it with my wife (we are both 80 and don't eat that much). It's listed at $4/ounce, but only served in one size. I don't want to pay $56 for a steak and take a third of it home to stick in the fridge. So we ordered a half rack of ribs, which were the best ribs we have ever had. Great flavor, and the meat fell off the bones. The eggplant parmigiana was meh. The bread platter was delicious. Service was excellent. The noise level in the dining room was prohibitive. I couldn't have heard myself talk, much less my wife. We moved to the patio, which was quite nice, but the weather was perfect for outdoor dining, something that rarely occurs. It's usually too cold, too hot, or too much of a breeze. Drinks were excellent and the wine list was small, but quite good.

    Food was excellent, but it’s a noisy space. Our server, Maria, was attentive and knowledgeable about all the menu and wine offerings. Would definitely return, it was an enjoyable experience.
