Nardò Italian Restaurant

Our friends took us here for lunch and said it was the next best thing to what they ate in Italy! It's a beautiful location, from the uniquely painted pizza oven, to the plateware, and especially the ocean view. They have outdoor seating as well, but since it was a bit windy we dined indoors. Our server was awesome and so welcoming! We started with the potato croquettes upon recommendation from our friend. It's the cheesiest potato bite you'll have! I liked the creamy sauce that came in the side, wish it was a little bit thicker but otherwise it was flavorful. We also enjoyed the brussels sprouts, with parmigiano reggiano and the vinegar was perfect amount of acid. Don't forget to request bread, they won't bring it automatically but it is complementary! I couldn't decide between pizza or pasta, but luckily my husband and friend ordered pizzas while I had pasta. I had a bite of the cacio e pepe and it was amazing! The dough itself was so fresh and cooked to perfection, and it had the perfect amount of mozzarella. My linguine tarantine was a great dish - loaded with scallops and clams on homemade squid ink linguine, but I would have to pick the pizza as my favorite. I am more of a white sauce fan so the cacio e pepe was right up my alley. Amazing spot to dine with a great view! They were kid friendly as well, bringing us a cup with a lid and they have high chairs if needed. They are located within an outdoor shopping area so it's nice to walk around before/after, and they also have a parking garage (yes Nardo will validate!). I would definitely recommend when you're in the area!!

Starting off with the ambiance, dining at Nardo felt like it was more on the elegant side but not too too fancy. Their tables and seats are spread out so the place doesn't feel too crowded. In terms of the food... I've seen this place before, but only decided to try their food upon reading about them making the top 50 pizza places to eat at. We ordered their Nardo pizza since it was named after the restaurant. It was baked in the oven for a short period of time, but the oven was hot enough that it was crispy and delicious while the inside was doughy in the best way. Something interesting is that they out a bit of ricotta cheese in the crust of the pizza and the prosciutto wasn't salty at all. I've never tried prosciutto that was not salty and I actually prefer it. Our waiting suggested the squid ink pasta and I think I'll give it a try next time. In short, definitely a place to check out. If you prefer an oven-baked pizza then you will enjoy this place. If you prefer crispy pizza then maybe try a different dish?

I wanted to love this place so bad. Everything was awesome except the food was mid. This restaurant is located in Park city, facing the beach, which made for the most beautiful sunset . We sat outside, they have heaters. Inside the restaurant is beautiful nicely decorated very chic vibe.The servers were amazing, they were very informative about the food. My friend is vegan and they gave her so many options. They do have a lot of vegan options as well as they would make adjustments to any dish. I really really wanted to love the food. We ordered a margarita, pizza, calamari, and shrimp, appetizer, lasagna, and a pistachio pasta, and a pistachio dessert, which was actually really really good. The margarita pizza was bland, the calamari was overcooked, even had some hard pieces. The lasagna was OK, but it was underseasoned, but the best part of that dish is that they serve it to you in like cast-iron so it stays hot the entire time you're eating it. My friend ordered the pistachio pasta, which was probably one of the better dishes if they had just added a little bit more seasoning I think that would've been my favorite dish. The pistachio ice cream dessert was really good. It had like a thin layer of cake around a scoop of ice cream.My vegan friend seem to love everything that she ordered, but I didn't taste any of her dishes, except for the olives, which were well basically olives. I would definitely come back here and try another dish. We did have several cocktails. I believe we got the Mojito and another drink called the porn star. They do have happy hour and the drinks are slightly discounted, I believe they were $12 for certain specialty cocktails .

Looking for a Neapolitan pizza spot? Their Huntington Beach pizza will be the best margherita pizza you can find in the OC. I'm usually a fan of Diavola but I'd say their HB margherita is even better. I also tried their linguine ink pasta and it was a fantastic dish. The lasagna unfortunately wasn't quite up to par. Great friendly service and staff. Their indoor space and outdoor patio are also very cozy and dog friendly.

My friends and I dined at Nardo for a birthday dinner and we loved it! We went on a Friday night and made a reservation, but honestly I don't think we needed to! There were a lot of tables available around 8:00 pm. The atmosphere was trendy, and combined a beachy and classic feel.We shared calamari and brussel sprouts and both were delish. For drinks, I enjoyed their "Porn Star" cocktail, it was basically a passion fruit mimosa, SO yum! For my main I had the capricciosa pizza - red sauce pizza with San Marzano tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, salame, mushroom, artichokes and olives. It was so good but a large portion! I suggest sharing it if you are getting appetizers. They brought a dessert out to celebrate my birthday as well. The service was very nice and our waiter was great with our large group. We would definitely dine here again.

This was on my list of places to try for a while and I'm glad I finally came!The service was exceptional! The waiter gave great input on what to order and checked on me frequently.I ordered the gnocchi ortolana. It was really good! I'd definitely order again. I love a good gnocchi and pesto sauce.The restaurant was well decorated and clean.

Not bad,pizza little soggy.I had the spicy Italian sausage,husband had the prosciutto and daughter had gnocchi with side of chicken.Staff was outstanding.We loved the desserts , pistachio gelato and raspberry shortcake.It was nice sitting on patio can get noisy with young shopping mall teen girl shoppers lol

Surprisingly tasty eatery at Pacific City. I've walked by many times in the past, always thinking it had the feel of a tourist trap, but was pleasantly surprised when we finally dined in. The feel of the restaurant is casual, but the food carries authentic elements. In other words, it is far closer to the authentic side than the chain American interpretation of Italian cuisine. Menu is a nice selection in my mind, and not completely devoid of value. There was a wait for outdoor seating for a weekend dinner. We chose to sit inside to avoid the wait. Service was fast - not that engaging, but efficient. Would be happy to return again in the future!

Great Food, love all the pizzas! The Truffle Ravioli is amazing! Fun and vibrant atmosphere. Full bar with outstanding libation choices! Great service with exceptional attention to detail. We'll be back soon!

I had been contemplating coming here for the past year. I saw all the low reviews and the increase in good reviews, so I decided to try it finally.I have to say this place is very aesthetically pleasing and has all the vibes--a great place for a big group. The staff comes and checks on you at the beginning Ordered:Artichoke salad Bread per request Margherita, Cappriccosia pizza Salad was good The pizza in the middle is bland and soggy. Even with the wood oven, it has a crispy crust, but the middle is just floppy. It was a disappointment for me
