Best Italian Restaurants in Montchanin

We had 8 people for dinner and sampled a number of dishes from "snacks" to small plates to table shares (entrees) as well as several sides. Without exception, every dish was very good to excellent -- no weak entries. Even the gem salad was cold, crisp, flavorful and simply fresh tasting. Our server was personable and knowledgeable and the entire staff was very efficient and unobtrusive. The restaurant was about 3/4 full and pretty noisy -- good energy but not a place for a quiet evening. We had not been back in about 18 months and all agreed that Bardea has only gotten better.

Absolutely outstanding restaurant with unmatched steaks. The starters are refreshed periodically and reflect the chef’s eclectic viewpoint; I will never forget the oxtail empanadas that used to be on the menu, and the pork tostado that is on the current menu will take you to heaven! Service is outstanding and unpretentious and the classy yet welcoming atmosphere works for everything from a special family dinner to date night to girls night out. One of my favorite restaurants in the entire country!

This was our first time visiting but it won't be the last. There are definitely some interesting offerings on the menu. We went with one of the hostess' recommendations and tried the grilled octopus appetizer. It was delicious and took me back to Rome where I last had grilled octopus. Highly recommend!

We've been going to Capers almost every Sunday for the last several years. We sit on the beautiful, quiet, climate-contolled patio. We love all the waiters, but Rick is our favorite. My recent go-to menu items are the arugula salad and the lasagna (or Summer Corn Agnolotti in the summer). I'm hoping that they bring back Butternut Squash or Acorn Squash Agnolotti...YUM!

Limited menu, but don’t be afraid to ask the chef for what you want. My wife wanted linguine with clams ( not on the menu). They made the dish for her. I had a perfectly cooked veal chop. Great restaurant!
