The lighting is deliberately on purpose, giving the dining room a sexy mood. Open kitchen activity adds its vital energy as chefs who use ingredients obtained from Italy, as well as from local farms and suppliers, bustle around stirring pots and pans and plates. Bardea is widely known for sharing plates and its menu is divided into snacks, small plates, seafood, vegetables, pasta, pizza and feeding table options.

This is also a scene for watching people, whether you are on a table or grab a stool at the 20-seated bar to drink a glass of Italian red wine, espresso Martini or one of Bardea’s classic cocktails like smoked old-fashioned with old rye, associated with forged, forged simple syrup and bitter angostures.
