Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Bardea Food & Drink offers an inventive and delicious menu with a "tapas-style" approach, allowing guests to share a variety of dishes. Highlights include the "burrata pop tart," "upside-down pizza," and "duck agnolotti." The service is praised for being "attentive" and "professional." The ambiance is vibrant, though some find it "loud." A great spot for celebrations and dining experiences.

    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.

    The food was good and the drinks were great! However, having wait staff say that the menu items were all shareable was beyond insane. The portions were so small. Nothing on the menu is shareable besides the fries, and the section that says "feed the table."

    Food was excellent. Ordered Pizza, eggplant, steak, meatballs. If you want to talk, might want to consider outside seating. A bit pricy and beware that they are now adding on a 3% surcharge which is not disclosed until you get the bill. Honestly, it is a trendy place, but I think you can find great food at a better price elsewhere.

    I made a reservation for dining and wanted a more quiet space. We sat outside in the garden under a heater on a cool evening. I had numerous questions for the manager before actually arriving, and she responded with great patience. After we were seated, she came to our table and introduced herself. I felt this was true service. Our dinner consisted of 3 small plates and fish to share. The buratta was devine,the lamb ossobuco was outstanding , the fish (Branzino) was perfectly cooked, presented then fileted for our consumption and delcious. I felt the eggplant parnesan was tasty and not up to their standards. My old fashion was perfect, and the Italian wine selections were great. We had a wonderful evening. All wait staff were very professional, and our server was not only good but fun.

    We were disappointed as the sauces on all of the dishes were very thick and over seasoned so you could not taste the main ingredients. The calamari was awash in a very cloying General Tso like sauce that overwhelmed the crispy calamari. The risotto was very mushy and the sauce did not complement the rice. Bread was not offered with the abundance of sauces and I finally flagged down a waiter to request some. We waited forever for my steak and were not told how long it would take or received any updates on the timing. A very high priced experience for the results!
