Bernini Italian Pizzeria and Wine Bar: Reviews & Ratings
Made a same day reservation and was promptly seated upon arrival. The restaurant was pretty busy which is always a good sign but the food was what sealed the deal. They bring you some garlic knots to start which are lovely. I Started with the bruschetta app which was good, then had the filet mignon with the cheesy risotto side and when I say I savored every bite... I mean it. I ate it as slowly as possibly to enjoy every second. Finished the meal off with the tiramisu cake and slowly sipped on a Manhattan throughout. 10/10 would recommend if you’re in the area! Cheers!
Wonderful dining experience ! Service was great, food was superb. Venue was a little small, (so make reservations, people!) but we sat outside and it was perfect! Drinks take a bit to come out so order accordingly. We will be back regularly and bring all of our out of town guests!!
This was a truly wonderful experience. (Reservations required) Greeted and seated immediately we had a very cozy spot with a view of the bar area as well as the patio. The energy was wonderful. We chose martini's that were delicious-one traditional and one honey lavender lemon drop. Generous and delightful. Our server was animated and knowledgeable and made some great suggestions. We definitely opted for the special appetizer of a garlic feta with toast points that was perfect. For entrees we chose the highly recommended Wagu filet (medium rare) and the 1/2 roasted chicken with sides of brussel sprouts and risotto. All delicious! We opted for a classic tiramisu with two expresso martinis which paired beautifully! The owner warmly greeted us and chatted for a moment, the staff was pleasantly attentive and we truly had an enjoyable and memorable experience. The decor was clean, crisp and classic with great ambiance. There is no question why Bernini's is a popular MUST! It was a perfect way to celebrate a full day on the lake and 3 decades of friendship.
Foods are delicious. Staffs are friendly. Definitely, I will go back again
If you’re looking for one of the best spots in town for both pizza and cheesesteaks, this place absolutely delivers—crispy, cheesy, and packed with flavor. The portions are generous, the ingredients always fresh, and the cheesesteak is the real deal. Top it all off with great service from Simona whose friendly vibe makes every visit even better.
You can tell this place is run with care. The food, service, and overall experience all hit the mark. It’s rare to find a spot that’s this consistent—definitely five-star worthy. Appreciate the effort that goes into getting it right.
To be honest, we still think of this as “the old Pizza Hut” but decided to give it a whirl. We are so glad we did. The staff is incredible. Jess, our bartender, was attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly. Steph, a server, was efficient and so nice to talk to. Our drinks were delicious and the bread was to-die-for. We can’t wait to come back for dinner! PSA: they have gluten free pasta although they don’t advertise it. Edit: went back for dinner, and it was incredible. We had a shrimp appetizer, and I had the Mediterranean scallops. My husband had the Shrimp Fra Diavolo. We went with friends who picked out a great bottle of red, and we had a wonderful time. Our server was so great. I can’t remember her name (so sorry!) but she made our night even better.
Fist time there. Elizabeth our server was great, Jess bartender also, people In restaurant very friendly - obviously regulars. Food was awesome. - chicken Marsala, salmon and shrimp scampi a hit! The rolls.. OMG Food made to order - came Out hot and yum! Can’t wait to go back. Val
