    The gnocchi app is my favorite always but the new boa buns were excellent! Great addition to the menu. Pasta dishes were delicious but my 17 year old son’s portion was extremely tiny. Two amazing desserts! This is my favorite restaurant in Wilmington. It never disappoints.

    we had an amazing night celebrating my boyfriend’s 23rd birthday! it was our first time here but we felt like we dined in before. i believe our servers name was Jacob. he was super attentive, guiding us through the menu perfectly. from our drinks, starters, entree, and dessert we were 100% satisfied. though it felt like we ordered a lot of food, we ate almost everything. we weren’t overstuffed, it was the perfect amount of portions. hoping to come in again!

    I took my wife to Bardea F&D for her 45th birthday and it was an incredible experience. From the moment we walk thru the door and was greeted we knew this place was going to be good. Once we were seated our waiter came and and introduced himself, explained the menu and took our drinks orders. The order in which the food came out was perfect and exactly how it should have been, giving us a chance to enjoy the plates as they came out. The ambience was good, the seating was good and the vibe added to the experience. The food, very creative, smart and tasty. The menu seem very well thought out. Parking was good, we got lucky and found a spot close to the restaurant but parking seem plentiful and close by. Overall a damn good experience, great service and my wife loved it. I would highly recommend Bardea F&D. Will definitely be returning to enjoy some their other unique dishes.

    Overall, the food was excellent but for the price some of the portion sizes considered shareable were small

    Had a wonderful experience with attentive staff and great food, wine, beer and scotch. We especially loved the crab taco and scallops for starters and the branzino and broccoli for the main course. The chocolate hazelnut pudding is a must. All very flavorful and wonderfully presented. food.

    Food and service was excellent. And they were able to accommodate my gluten allergy without sacrificing flavor. Only negative is the music is too loud in dining room which made it difficult to talk especially when it became crowded. Keep the music at a low level in dining room and louder in bar area.

    We ordered several tapas from the snacks menu and diver scallops from the small plates menu. Everything was excellent! The veal meatballs were exceptional and the calamari was one of the best we've had. The diver scallops were served with a very flavorful green curry. We had plenty of food for the two of us. Service was swift and well done - everyone working together. Restaurant is quite busy - be ready for a high level of noise.
