The stunning, 120-seat restaurant utilizes ingredients from local Delaware Valley farms and purveyors, and features modern interpretations of traditional Italian and Mediterranean dishes. In 2019, Bardea Food & Drink received a semifinalist nomination in the James Beard Foundation's "Best New Restaurant" category.

    Our waiter Jacob was amazing!! Also, the food runner as well - so smart and knew everything! Great night for my bday dinner. So considerate and brought me a gingerale instead of a champagne since I wasn’t drinking!

    Some of the most delicious, creative and amazing dishes available in Wilmington, Delaware. Wait staff is ON POINT! Friendly, informative with a strong knowledge of the menu. MUST TRYS: Burrata Pop Tart, Ribeye, and King Salmon (loved it so much had one order for an appetizer and one for an entree)!

    Bardea is very loud and tight. They have packed an incredible number of tables into the area. We had tried a variety of items. The vegetarian items were good. The octopus pasta was fishy. The other pastas were mediocre. The risotto was good. The fish was not deboned well at all and had to be sent back. I have sent the establishment a private message. They were responsive to the issue which was appreciated. This visit was the first time there.

    Ashley, our waitress was outstanding. Each server did a great job describing each dish they delivered. Fantastic food! Noise level is excessive. Will most definitely return!

    Definitely NOT going back. The ambiance is beautiful and is great for date night. Unfortunately the food took so long to arrive. We placed our orders and it took over an hour to get our pasta dishes. The food was delicious but the wait time was completely ridiculous.

    Very Overpriced. Despite being overexpensive, there was a 3 percent supercharge to adjust for inflation. Otherwise great. Excellent food.
