Great spot. The decor is really nice and makes for a nice place to enjoy brunch with friends. We were excited to go for the bottomless mimosa special for 22 pounds but were bummed to find out they didn't serve alcohol until noon. I opted for a cappuccino instead that was really good. Before we left we were able to get a drink each since it hit the twelve o'clock mark. I tried the bellini and it was made with really fresh peach puree and was very tasty and light. I ordered the poached eggs with pepperonata and it did not disappoint. My husband ordered the pancakes and really liked them. read more

I am rounding up from 2 stars because i'm being generous. I think my first few visits were far better than this last one. I hope it's the case they had an off night, and not that the restaurant has gone downhill inside decor is sparse but nice. lacking is service and food value rabbit tagliatelle tasted a bit bland. scallops were okay. lamb was okay, served perfectly at medium rare. this was the highlight. ribeye was okay. essentially everything was just okay wine by the glass is outrageously priced. a very light pour of Brunello was £21. I repeat: a very light pour. perhaps 60% of what would be normal in the U.S. dessert was weird. we ordered a apple/rhubarb crumble (I think it was apple) but there was no whole fruit, just a mash. and it came out scorching hot. like it was microwaved. some of the dinner plates came out so hot they could not be touched and the waitress never warned us. we had a few people waiting on us and none of them seemed happy to be there. no repartee, no offer to explain anything on the menu. at £60 per person we expected much better service I was embarrassed because we were entertaining people who lived in London but wouldn't normally spend this kind of coin on dinner. I have spent so much time in London they trusted my judgement in picking a place better than their own very doubtful I will return read more

Food was outstanding. Service could be more attentive. The crew will bring you anything you need... you just have to get their attention and ask for it. Most Michelin star restaurants have better customer service. I sat at the bar and was able to get some work done. My old fashioned was a little sweet. I would like to try sitting at a table, maybe the service would be better. read more

Bernardi's Restaurant and Bar - Italian Near Me - London, XGL

Perfect escape from traditional pub food we'd been eating on our trip to London. Traditional, fresh Italian food that we thoroughly enjoyed. We started with the burratta which was wonderfully paired with pesto, pumpkin, and pomegranate on top of a few other delightful accompaniments. Split the mushroom pasta and Italian sausage pizza as entree. Beautiful stop during our London stay! read more

Note: I am writing this as we eat our meals... The selection of dishes in the menu all sounded yummy to us... it was hard to decide, so we will just be back another night. We ordered the grilled squid with a delicious tomatoe sauce with basil. I wanted to drink the bowl with sauce, after we devoured the squid... The pork chop with sage and butter was amazing. A really nice char. Salmon risotto with prawns peas and mint was out of this world...so fresh and delicious. Side of arugula salad was a perfect accompaniment to the pork. We will be back. read more

True Loy disappointed I wasn't hungrier. Service was impeccable. I had the Milanese that was superb. Thicker than usual which made it juicy. Fried sage and roasted nuts added a warmth to the dish. My other half had one of the best risottos ever. If I could have eaten more, I would have!!! read more

Absolutely lovely Italian restaurant! Found this place through OpenTable and also saw the great rating here on Yelp, so decided to go for it and reserve for dinner. And it was a great decision. The restaurant is beautifully decorated in a modern way, and the lighting was romantically dim. The staff was friendly and attentive the entire night. We had the Courgette Soup and the Burratina to start with. Both were lovely. For the main course we had the Maltagliati and the Pan Fried Gnocchi. The sauce of the Maltagliati was a bit runny, but tasted great said my hubby, whereas I wished that I had more sauce for my gnocchi and pumpkin. We were too full to order any desserts, but the menu looked wonderful and each dish also suggested a wine pairing. Great modern Italian cuisine along with an eye for detail in presentation and service! read more

Italian restaurant Bernardi's impressed me with beautiful, tasty food and outstanding, friendly staff. Would I go again? Of course! When I arrived at Bernardi's in Marylebone, just off Edgware Road, on a Saturday evening, the place already was fairly busy. The very friendly guy at the door checked the bookings and went out of his way to find me a spot - although just for an hour. Still, after being sent away by another new, French restaurant that did not even check the bookings, I highly appreciated the effort. I like the style, Bernardi's is a beautiful, light, modern restaurant with a simple design that pleases the eye. After settling down at a nice table in the corner, I browsed through the wine list. I was looking for a white wine, and the waiter asked a few questions and then recommended the 2014 Verdeca, "Askos" Masseria Li Veli Apulia. Not a bad choice - it was probably a bit too fruity or sweet for my palate, but the slight minerality made it still enjoyable, just as the waiter had told me. Not long after my wine arrived, a basket of thin crunchy Italian flatbread with something like a tomato, parmesan and basil dip came along. I appreciate a good slice of soft bread, but those crispy bites were also a great way to start a meal and bridge the time until the first course of the evening was ready. I had ordered the burratina antipasti with heritage beetroot, almonds and basil. The dish looked stunning, bright colours - green, red, yellow - beautifully arranged around the white cheese with finely sliced almonds sprinkled across the plate. All components individually tasted nice and fresh, forming a delicious symphony of flavours when combined. The burratina was smooth and soft, the funny heritage beetroots added a refrehsing fruityness with the almonds throwing in some salty texture. I must admit, I wondered about those pieces in different colours on my plate - I soon found out that heritage beetroots come in various colours, a nice touch. My main that evening was tarragon gnocchi with rabbit ragu and pancetta. The plate was hot when it arrived and looked as beautiful as did my antipasti. Recently, I started to appreciate rabbit more and more, it is a light kind of meat with a great taste to it. The only detail marginally impeding the delight was a piece of bone hidden within the ragout - not sure whether that was intentional or not. I also was surprised to see that the gnocchi looked like they were pan-fried. However, I did enjoy the minor crunch effect it added together with the crumble. As with any Italian dish, or anything really, freshly grated parmesan made this course even more tasty than it would already had been without. So far, antipasti and main course were great successes with me. It was probably no easy task to top this with a dessert, and unfortunately, the milk chocolate mousse with hazelnut was somewhat disappointing. I had been hoping for a stronger chocolate flavour. Still, I did like how nice and nutty it was. After a little chat with a lovely Italian waitress, who happens to live in London for five years - just like me - I finished off my dinner with a bitter, Italian espresso. Not my favourite style of coffee, but I guess what people expect at an Italian restaurant. If you ask me, Bernardi's in Marylebone is a great restaurant delivering on flavour and service. Next time, I should also try one of their cocktails. read more

Wonderfully lively and elegant setting with a range of delicious food on the menu. Environmentally conscience due to using paper straws!! Trout is marvelous, as is the ravioli!! read more

How did I walk past this place so many times? Happy hour lasts until 6:30. Sat at the bar and the bartender suggested their most full bodied red was one from Southern Italy. It had a luscious nose and a body to match. 2015 Susumaniello "Askos" from Puglia. Had the salami board- 4 meats for 10£, a good deal I feel. They offered bread and brought 4 good size chunks of fresh focaccia, with olive oil. Enjoyed a pasta with veal ragu, and finished with a chocolate torte. A perfect meal with a perfect wine. Very satisfied. read more

Flavors were not aligned with price. Food was good overall but overpriced. Good place to socialize but service was a bit slow.

What is wrong with the food in London??? Someone please explain how it is that a country in the EU, that should have access to the best produce and chefs in the world, can have such expensive restaurants with food that is merely passable. This meal was worth maybe $15, but I ended up paying $50. Ordered the ribeye and tomatoes and wine. Tomatoes were supermarket quality. Ribeye was just ok. Waiter asked me if I wanted bread and didn't explain that it was not free, and then someone brought olives which I also didn't ask for-- the bread and olives were not free (a swindle) and just mediocre. The waiter took off for the olives but not the bread when I pointed this out. What a hustle London restaurants are. I want to go hommeeeeee. At least in NYC you get what you pay for. read more

The food here is hand crafted (home made). You have Italian tastes (risotto, orichetti, salumi, etc) however, you don't have standard dishes like spaghetti Bolognese or veal parmesan. That's my only complaint. But don't kid yourself, portions are large, food is fresh and delicious. read more

I absolutely loved the ambiance and food at Bernardi's. Unfortunately, I wasn't very hungry coming to the restaurant so I just had the pork chop. It was very good! In addition, the three colleagues that joined me were equally impressed with their meals. This is a must for anyone visiting London. I can't wait to check out the downstairs bar during my next visit! read more

I dined here twice during a recent visit. Food and service was excellent. Small plates were very good and pizzetas delightful. Lorenzo was great Our second visit allowed us to try the outdoor seating. read more

Having lived in Italy and traveled the country extensively I feel perfectly qualified to say that the team at Bernardi's seriously know what they're doing. Despite its Marylebone location and upscale feel, there's absolutely nothing pretentious about the food here. It's classic Italian food done as your momma would cook it.........if your momma was a world class chef with serious flair! Every dish we had was perfectly executed and utterly delicious. Worth a special mention is the rabbit gnocchi, which was mind blowing. And the prices were more than reasonable too. We will be returning. A lot! read more

Ate dinner here last night. The Risotto was so fishy I couldn't finish it. Too specialized without true Italian roots.

Excellent service , ambiance and the food was amazing. Loved the Squash soup and the pork chop was amazing. Relatively cheap by London standards. read more

Well, we walked in and immediately loved the atmosphere and comfy table. All sort of downhill from there. It just had a weird vibe- not very friendly and ignored for long stretches. The food was just ok. We both got the fish which honestly was overcooked- dried out. Came recommended, but I can't. Too many places to choose from for me to give them a second chance. We are not demanding people. read more

I've been there twice in the last 2 weeks with friends. Food is well prepared. Squid appetizer is delightful with a nice hint of Asian chili. The flank steak and Lamb mains are grilled to perfection and delicious with a rocket and Parmesan salad. The Panna Cotta dessert is excellent. Local "in" crowd fills this place up so you should make a reservation. read more

Dinner was a lovely experience. The mushroom risotto is amazing. For dessert, try a scoop of the daily special ice cream.

Amazing food. Great place to eat. Nice atmosphere and attentive staff. Our waiter seemed a little frazzled but the rest of the team picked up the slack. Every bite was a wow for me. So good. read more

Went to dinner at Bernardi's last night with friends. Definitely a place to ensure you have reservations for and I must say, great vibe with a terrific crowd. Menu had nice variety and the desert was worth saving room for. Noticed the downstairs lounge on the way out which would also be a nice place to grab a cocktail with friends. Easy to get to from Marble Arch tube station and all around great experience. read more

Hmm, where to start! We went in last week and let's just say we will return! Bernardis is a new, lovely restaurant just off Oxford Street with beautiful décor and an equally wonderful menu and very friendly staff too! We shared the starters; charred squid with garlic and peperoncino & the Burratina. Both dishes were executed to perfection. I would just prefer a little more garnish with the Burratina, but maybe next time I will ask for a little more beetroot :) the squid was beautifully cooked and very delicious too! I then had the Lemon Sole which tasted beautifully and was light, just what I needed! My husband had the Tarragon gnocchi & rabbit ragu which he loved for his main. To drink we had a bottle of Pigato which went really well with all that we ordered. A very versatile wine that at £39 represented really good value for money. Unfortunately we were too full for desserts but then again, just another excuse to go back! I have a feeling i will be planning my next visit well in advance! I see this place getting very popular very soon! Highly recommended!! read more

excellent food. tomato bruschetta was one of the best appetizers i've ever had

Excellent risotto and pasta. Popped in at 6:30 with no res for a quick dinner. No problem. Great quick service.

I went for brunch there. Very nice atmosphere. The food was really good but the portions were very small. Staff is very nice and efficient.
