    Bardea never disappoints. Service was superb … the best we have had yet - and we were a large party of 9. Drinks were kept filled without along. Food arrived in a timely manner. One of the most exceptional servers we have ever had! Food was lovely as always. The burrata puff pastry always delights. Meatballs were excellent - as was the sauce. Tomahawk steak cooked a perfect medium rare. Grilled king prawn perfection. Hot honey pizza again delicious. Spaghetti with clams spot on. Everyone loved the raviolis and potatoes. Consensus favorite dish … the cauliflower! This is our special occasion with a large group restaurant and it is always an exceptional experience.

    A mistake on my part started off badly but turned into a wonderful meal with a wonderful server ( wish I had gotten her name) and a most delicious meal with melt in your mouth filet of beef. Warning!!! There is Bardea Food and Drink and Bardea Steak!! Make sure you know which one your reservation is for! Our server saved the day with delicious options to make for a complete meal explaining each dish to our party of four and timed each course perfectly. We had theater tickets so were aware of the time and arrived to our show in plenty of time. Turned into a great experience and will definitely be aware of which BARDEA we’re dining at next time! Any item on the menu will be a true culinary delight!!

    This is the sister restaurant to Bardea Steakhouse. However, the food is equally as good. The rest of the hospitality world has taken notice. A friend from New Jersey found a reason to meet me for dinner here at their request. The portions are closer to tapas, but getting two with an appetizer is more than enough. The wine list is interesting and should please nearly every pallete and price point. I had a cocktail before dinner, which was well prepared. It's actually tough to pull off a smoked old fashioned, but they did. I would return for the calamari alone. But I don't believe there is a bad choice on the menu. Welcome to Wilmington!

    The food and cocktails were wonderful. The server was great, spacing the courses properly from the lighter dishes to the heavier. His recommendations were excellent. The dinner exceeded my expectations.
