    We enjoy coming here. However, it has become quite pricey. Hot House was always a bit lower than others, but not now.

    Excellent service. Noise got a bit loud as the restaurant got filled up. Happy that the music is kept low which is often an issue.

    Been here a handful of times and came here to celebrate husband's birthday. We loved the carpaccio and burger, the fungi pasta was lacking flavour this time around, very bland which was quite disappointing since that was our favourite dish from you guys. I also requested if you guys did anything special for birthdays in the notes but no acknowledgement of this.This was a one off but still thoroughly enjoyed the food, good service and ambiance.

    Bar ARDO is an absolute gem for anyone who appreciates authentic Sicilian flavors and impeccable hospitality. The red wild shrimp and raw scallops were nothing short of exceptional—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The rigatoni was equally delightful, perfectly cooked and rich with taste. The service was impeccable, attentive without being overbearing, and the evening was made even more special when Chef Roberto Marotta himself took the time to visit our table and chat with us. This personal touch elevated the experience, showcasing the passion and dedication behind the cuisine. Bar ARDO offers a dining experience that’s both memorable and heartfelt. I can’t wait to return!
