When dining at an Italian restaurant, the word authentic is always front and center for what people are looking for on the menu. Many Italian restaurants claim to bring old-world flavors to their menu, but Nardò in Culver City does this to the highest level. They bring recipes not only from Italy, but recipes that have been passed down for 150 years and give you a sense of the flavors of Italy you won’t find many other places in the states.

The menu is a beautiful homage to classic Italian cuisine, bringing flavors from northern and southern Italy. The Nardo menu features a variety of pasta dishes, wood-fired pizzas, and fresh seafood dishes. While it isn’t a stretch to say that you will be supremely satisfied with anything you order at Noard, the pasta is a must-order with any meal. If you had to pick one signature dish from Nardo, it would have to be the fettuccine al cinghiale.
