Overall a very positive experience. The salad was a bit bland. However the pizza and pasta dishes were excellent. The homemade cannoli is the best since Nona at the Lettieri on Cumberland retired!

Great food! I would recommend going with a group and do share a bunch of things on the menu! Everything came out really good. Although their wine prices are a bit more expensive than other Italian restaurants I’ve been too. Over all worth the visit and I’ll definitely come back for more!

One of our meals was mediocre quality and the quantity was like appetizer size. Price for this and other meals was too high for the quality of the eating experience. Wine markups were quite high as well.

Ardo is always a great experience. The food is consistently great! Staff are professional, knowledgeable and friendly. We like sitting at the “chef’s table” counter and talking to the chefs.

The manager Antonio was very welcoming. The food was delicious. However, the server we had wasn't that nice to us. We felt like we were bothering him when asking questions about dishes and wine. It wasn't a very good experience, but that was because of the service from the waiter. Overall, great food and ambience.

Excellent food and smart/efficient staff. Had an extended work meeting here, and their server was very mindful to check in (knowing that many lunches are in a rush), but without being the least bit pressuring. Tuna Carpaccio was excellent, as was the pasta. Good selection of Italian red wine by the glass as well. Would go back!

While we were still eating at the Chef's bar, the server sprayed disinfectant right next to us and toward our food. The strong smell lingered during our meal.
