  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
The latest addition of the celebrated ARDO Hospitality Group led by co-owners, Sicilian-born Chef Roberto Marotta and Jacqueline Nicosia, Bar ARDO is for the discerning and culinary curious without ever being pretentious. It’s the place you can meet friends for a casual, authentic aperitivo that turns into dinner. It’s an expression of serendipity when a memorable night just happens but feels fated.

Offering an array of small plates for convivial cocktail hour to generously portioned shareable dishes for leisurely repasts, the dining experience is punctuated by a curated selection of Old and New World wines, along with an innovative selection of signature cocktails, like the Carla Carla – an ocean infused martini elevated with caviar, alongside an exceptional assortment of non-alcoholic libations like the perfectly balanced Dry Pina which includes charred pineapple, pink peppercorn and a touch of chili.

    I love Bar Ado-it’s steps from my condo. Food, service, ambiance, vibe are all great. The music during dinner is too loud for me. I will keep going, but earlier in the day before music is turned up. Thanks!

    Great service, wine and food! I went for my birthday dinner and the chef came out and welcome us. The ambience was perfect for a Saturday night dinner.

    We waited a while for a server and kept calling the guy who was serving other tables where he responded rudely that he’s actually a manager and not a server and we’ll have to wait ! Then finally we got a nice server but the ravioli on special was very undercooked. Not the best experience overall . I do like this place but the service and food was off at this visit

    We were 6 guests. All of our meals were too salty, the portions were too small and the taste profiles were off. We left there after spending on three bottles of wine and our meals and went for a snack clos by. I would unfortunately not recommend this food.
