Not as good as it once was. Service is average, not exceptional. Food still very good. But how can you call yourself an Italian restaurant and not serve coffee or espresso? Our party of 8 had to go to Dunkin Donuts a few doors down after dinner just to get a post meal cup of coffee. Ridiculous decision on their part to tell diners "we don't serve coffee".

I love everything about this restaurant! Fantastic food, excellent service! I've dined there twice and plan to return weekly until my time here ends on April 6th. (I'm a travel nurse). My only disappointment is I didn't know about Bernini when I first arrived here 2 months ago! When I pulled into the parking lot for the first time 2 weeks ago, I said out loud to myself, "Okay. If this dining experience doesn't go well, I am done dining out in Laconia!" Well, I am thrilled to report Bernini is now my favorite restaurant in town! So far, I've had their grilled Caesar salad (perfection on a plate), lasagna, tuna tartare, calamari, and the arugula salad. (Two separate visits, mind you). I am so looking forward to dining there again next week! Thank you, Bernini!
Hands down the BEST Italian restaurant my husband and I have been to. Nothing around can compare. You can taste the dedication and passion that goes into each dish. This place is truly a treasure! Can’t wait to come back!

Decent food, good service, cool atmosphere. Just a little small inside and fairly expensive for Italian.

Pizza was awesome....just a glitch that spoiled the meal and review ... bringing salt and pepper to the table 25 minutes later when the server asked "need anything" is similar to shutting the barn doors after the horses have left... Will be back....but not very soon...

On my 64th birthday felt treated like a queen by family, Rich the owner and all your waitstaff. Delicious food. OM goodness, Shrimp Scampi so yummy! Rich thank you for the app sent to our table. Much appreciated. I know Micheal and Chrissy and little Miss Winni are very happy to be back into their place. You've done an extraordinary renovation!

Placed a pick up order. A few entrées and some apps and desserts. The main dishes were bland, tasted like frozen tortellini without spices just freezer burn. Shrimp was way overcooked and the side dishes were all over salted like licking the side of a New England road in the spring after an icy winter. The desserts were pretty OK but I feel they must have been store bought. I had higher hopes for the amount I spent.
Possibly the best pizza I've ever had. Make your own however you like it and you won't be disappointed. Hidden gem!

Bernini in Laconia Nh. The warm ambiance and attentive staff set the stage for a memorable evening. Their authentic dishes, especially the chicken parm, were a true delight. The wine selection and tiramisu were perfect. You can tell the chef and staff put a lot of passion into every dish. Highly recommended for an authentic Italian dining experience. As an European it was very nostalgic. Buon appetito!
