Bardea Food and Drink Homepage

Welcome to Bardea

Bardea (pronounced: bar-DAY-ah) is a James Beard–nominated restaurant that celebrates the simple joy that comes from a meal prepared with creativity, passion, and seasonal ingredients. Our cuisine is modern American rooted in Italian tradition, reimagined with global flavors and playful nostalgia.

The result: an innovative dining experience that captures the upward momentum of downtown Wilmington and brings the community together through food and drink.

Our team works with intention, partnering with organic, regenerative farms and sustainable fisheries for ingredients that are not only exciting for the palate, but also positively impact our environment.
