    IT WAS A DISSATISFYING EXPERIENCE ESPECIALLY WITH THE MANAGEMENT THAT ASKED AT THE END OF THE DINNER TO 4 ITALIAN GUESTS IN ITALIAN LANGUAGE IF HE COULD OFFER SOME DIGESTIVE AND IN THE END HE CHARGED US IN THE BILL THE 3 DIGESTIVES FOR ABTOTAL OF ALMOST $40 AND HE DIDN’T REMOVED EVEN AFTER OUR REQUEST. IT’S NOT FOR THIS AMOUNT BUT FOR THE PRINCIPAL, VERY POOR MANAGEMENT.

    Hi , I’m sorry you felt that way, but I want to clarify that I never stated the drinks would be free. As a restaurant, we provide food and beverages for purchase, and at no point did I mention otherwise. I understand this may have been your expectation, but unfortunately, that was not communicated from my end. Grazie

    Great food as always. Service was good, but an additional server was necessary due to how busy it was.

    This was my third visit to Nardo’s and it has become a family favorite. Each time that we have been there for dinner, it has been excellent. We were there for lunch today and the food and drinks were great.

    Waiter was great! Had the Lobster and the gnocci, both fantastic. Had to sit near the kitchen, but still good atmosphere.

    Great neopolitan pizza. We got the jalapeño and California. Both were great. Quiet enough to have a conversation. Great service. Right near the beach. A little pricey but the location makes it worth it. 10/10 recommended

    Can’t say enough great things about this Italian gem of a restaurant in HB! Authentic Italian food, good wine selection, fun ambience and great service. We ate the calamari, beet carpaccio, pizza, vegan and vegetarian pasta dishes, and ordered a delicious bottle of Nebbiolo. Fantastic! We will be back!
