This was my third visit to Nardo’s and it has become a family favorite. Each time that we have been there for dinner, it has been excellent. We were there for lunch today and the food and drinks were great.

Great neopolitan pizza. We got the jalapeño and California. Both were great. Quiet enough to have a conversation. Great service. Right near the beach. A little pricey but the location makes it worth it. 10/10 recommended

Can’t say enough great things about this Italian gem of a restaurant in HB! Authentic Italian food, good wine selection, fun ambience and great service. We ate the calamari, beet carpaccio, pizza, vegan and vegetarian pasta dishes, and ordered a delicious bottle of Nebbiolo. Fantastic! We will be back!

We both ordered lobster clam pasta. Pasta was so tough to chew on like chewing on rubber. Bread was cold and stale. Manager was unfriendly and unapproachable. However, upon asking he did remake my pasta even though he seemed bothered. Will not be going back there as it’s super pricey for its value.
