Review by Yasmin Satterfield

L'Ardente offers a truly delightful Italian dining experience. The ambiance is warm and inviting, perfect for a cozy night out. I started with the crispy Arancini - absolutely mouthwatering! For my main, I indulged in the duck ravioli, which was rich and bursting with flavor. The cocktails complemented the meal beautifully, especially the creative selections at the bar. Although my steak's price made my wallet cringe, its taste was a revelation. I’ll definitely be back to explore more of the menu... 🍷
