Most delicious meal starting with seared scallops as well as meat balls for appetizers! Entrees we selected were both perfect; Salmon for me & pork chop for my hubby. Ended with two desserts! Killer chocolate cake & cheese cake. Our waiter Micheal was incredible knowledgeable about selections and offered service to match the meal!Dietary restrictions: I’m gluten free and found plenty of options.

Went on a Saturday evening with my husband. We made a reservation and our table was ready right away. They have an extensive wine and cocktail list, something for everyone. We also really enjoyed that you can get "extras" with the bread for the table - we got roasted garlic as well as goat cheese and honey. Entrees were great - I had the duck breast and my husband had the lasagna. Our server (Michael?) was excellent and stopped by to check on us frequently but not too much.

My daughter and I wanted to have dinner as we discussed her wedding plans. It was quiet enough to do that but still enough people and chatter to have a nice atmosphere. Michael was our excellent server and he treated us well!!

Food-wise, nearly everything I tried at Bordinos was five-star worthy. The wild boar sausage appetizer, wild boar sausage fettuccini, and tortellini were my favorites, but the beef tenderloin rigatoni and beef lasagna were also tasty. And the crème brûlée and chocolate cake were amazing as well. The restaurant atmosphere was dimly lit, moderately busy, but not overly loud. Where Bordinos fell short was on the service--whether it was waiting to order, waiting on appetizers and entrees, and even waiting on the check, everything seemed like we were waiting for a while. Our server was friendly though, so maybe it's a short-staff issue.

It was excellent, will return again. The service and food was amazing. It was very busy, still no issues getting out in time for another event.

Alright so let me start off by saying that the service and our waitress was great she was super helpful and attentive to all our needs. However, I ordered the chicken and my wife got tortellini. Her portion size was decent. On the other hand my chicken was made for a toddler. I expressed my concern to the waitress and the kitchen cooked some noodles that I got half price. The food, once ordered took almost an hour and a half to come out because it was busy. Two other tables next to us took forever to get their food also. Not a horrible experience. Will not be coming back.
Tried this place for the first time after living here more than 20 years. So happy we finally made our way to Fayetteville to try it out. Michael was a great server. He was attentive and friendly and on top of everything. We will definitely go back!

We had a terrible experience at Bordinos. Booked a birthday reservation, had about 10 people, and the big issue was the service was terrible. We ordered three bottles of wine for the table and it took 20 minutes for them to show up. After they did the server left them at one end of the table and not one time did he refill anyone's glasses so we kept handing bottles back and forth. I think if you buy a $70 bottle of wine (or 3) there should be more care around serving it. Our food also took a long time and our waiter kept disappearing for long stretches of time. We got all meals except one and after probably 5-10 minutes of waiting I walked to the back to ask where it was. He said they had to remake it and it was on its way but he should've come to the table to tell us that. Then she gets her food and finds a black piece of plastic in it so sends it back. By now we've been there 2.5 hours and are ready to leave. I thought they had over charged me on one of the wines so I again go back to the kitchen area and this time ask for the manager. He says he'll take it off the bill which is nice and I also ask if he's comping the late meal with plastic in it and he says they did but I responded that some communication would've been nice. Again, no stopping at our table to apologize or explain. Also no birthday cake or anything special for our birthday girl. On our way out the manager stopped the woman who sent her food back and explained that they don't make that dish in house. So not only did they not acknowledge it now they're saying it's not their fault. Just poor service and subpar food and experience all around. Save your special occasions for somewhere else that will treat you right.

The atmosphere at Bordinos is great. I would definitely go back to sit at the bar and have a drink, but I would not order food again. I went on a date here and I could hardly get past the first bite of both pasta dishes we ordered. Not sure if it was an off night, but I make way better Italian food than that and I'm a 23 year old college student.

Excellent atmosphere, great food, the Valet Parking only Costa $10, and is much appreciated for that part of town. A little pricy, but totally worth it! Will definitely be back againParking: Valet parking is very much appreciated
