Ardo is a great spot for delicious Italian food! We had pasta and pizza, and both were amazing. The pasta was fresh and full of flavor, and the pizza had a perfect crispy crust. The restaurant has a cozy and welcoming vibe, and the service was friendly and fast. Everything tasted fresh and well-made. It’s a perfect place for a nice dinner, whether with friends, family, or a date. If you love Italian food, Ardo is definitely worth a visit!

Great food, we asked for the pulpo, brasato, and salsiccia. All of them were delicious, but what I enjoyed the most was the pasta, tasted homemade, and reminded me of Italy. For dessert, we asked for cannoli to share, perfect size, and taste to close the dinner.
