We absolutely love this place. The staff is always friendly. The food is always amazing and the drinks are on point.

We always know it’s going to be a good experience.

Thank you for being our “go to” place.

This is a wonderful restaurant and worth trying if you like Italian. It has friendly wait staff. The food is very good. Now its not a place if you dont have time. Make sure to plan to spend at least an hour here. I recommend the salmon.

I recommend Bernardi’s to anyone for any occasion! Authentic Italian that has fried chicken too! The atmosphere is nice! Similar to a family restaurant. Service is decent.. seems to be under staffed, but what restaurant isn’t these days! Get the pretzel for an appetizer it’s worth it! Beer is cold, draft or bottle! Lasagna is fantastic
