    This is the sister restaurant to Bardea Steakhouse. However, the food is equally as good. The rest of the hospitality world has taken notice. A friend from New Jersey found a reason to meet me for dinner here at their request. The portions are closer to tapas, but getting two with an appetizer is more than enough. The wine list is interesting and should please nearly every pallete and price point. I had a cocktail before dinner, which was well prepared. It's actually tough to pull off a smoked old fashioned, but they did. I would return for the calamari alone. But I don't believe there is a bad choice on the menu. Welcome to Wilmington!

    The food and cocktails were wonderful. The server was great, spacing the courses properly from the lighter dishes to the heavier. His recommendations were excellent. The dinner exceeded my expectations.

    Very interesting take on Italian food as it was served tapas style. Unique flavors where sauces enhanced the protein/vegetable. Portions small relative to price charged. Expect to pay $50+/person before wine/drinks after tax/tip. Service was excellent and pacing of food good for this style. Seating was a bit cramped.

    We had 8 people for dinner and sampled a number of dishes from "snacks" to small plates to table shares (entrees) as well as several sides. Without exception, every dish was very good to excellent -- no weak entries. Even the gem salad was cold, crisp, flavorful and simply fresh tasting. Our server was personable and knowledgeable and the entire staff was very efficient and unobtrusive. The restaurant was about 3/4 full and pretty noisy -- good energy but not a place for a quiet evening. We had not been back in about 18 months and all agreed that Bardea has only gotten better.

    I celebrated my 40th birthday yesterday and the waiter presented a menu that wished me a happy birthday from the manager. She soon followed up with complimentary glasses of champagne for me and my guests! The food was more of a culinary experience and it was some of the best food I’ve ever had in Delaware. The cocktails are prepared by mixologists/bartenders that know what they’re doing. We ordered espresso martinis and lemon drops. It was an amazing experience!
