As newlyweds, our dinner at Bernini Pizzeria and Wine Bar felt truly special. The food was excellent – we loved the salmon and sautéed mushrooms, which were both perfectly prepared. The complimentary garlic bread was absolutely delicious and such a wonderful touch to start our meal.
The restaurant itself is clean, including the restrooms (which we appreciate!). The staff were friendly and attentive, making our evening all the more memorable. We highly recommend Bernini, and can’t wait to visit again.
Thank you for helping make our second dinner out as a married couple so perfect!

If you’re looking for one of the best spots in town for both pizza and cheesesteaks, this place absolutely delivers—crispy, cheesy, and packed with flavor. The portions are generous, the ingredients always fresh, and the cheesesteak is the real deal. Top it all off with great service from Simona whose friendly vibe makes every visit even better.

To be honest, we still think of this as “the old Pizza Hut” but decided to give it a whirl. We are so glad we did. The staff is incredible. Jess, our bartender, was attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly. Steph, a server, was efficient and so nice to talk to. Our drinks were delicious and the bread was to-die-for. We can’t wait to come back for dinner! PSA: they have gluten free pasta although they don’t advertise it.
Edit: went back for dinner, and it was incredible. We had a shrimp appetizer, and I had the Mediterranean scallops. My husband had the Shrimp Fra Diavolo. We went with friends who picked out a great bottle of red, and we had a wonderful time. Our server was so great. I can’t remember her name (so sorry!) but she made our night even better.

Made a same day reservation and was promptly seated upon arrival. The restaurant was pretty busy which is always a good sign but the food was what sealed the deal. They bring you some garlic knots to start which are lovely. I Started with the bruschetta app which was good, then had the filet mignon with the cheesy risotto side and when I say I savored every bite… I mean it. I ate it as slowly as possibly to enjoy every second. Finished the meal off with the tiramisu cake and slowly sipped on a Manhattan throughout. 10/10 would recommend if you’re in the area! Cheers!

This was a truly wonderful experience. (Reservations required) Greeted and seated immediately we had a very cozy spot with a view of the bar area as well as the patio. The energy was wonderful. We chose martini’s that were delicious-one traditional and one honey lavender lemon drop. Generous and delightful. Our server was animated and knowledgeable and made some great suggestions. We definitely opted for the special appetizer of a garlic feta with toast points that was perfect. For entrees we chose the highly recommended Wagu filet (medium rare) and the 1/2 roasted chicken with sides of brussel sprouts and risotto. All delicious! We opted for a classic tiramisu with two expresso martinis which paired beautifully! The owner warmly greeted us and chatted for a moment, the staff was pleasantly attentive and we truly had an enjoyable and memorable experience. The decor was clean, crisp and classic with great ambiance. There is no question why Bernini’s is a popular MUST! It was a perfect way to celebrate a full day on the lake and 3 decades of friendship.

IDK where to start. Is it I’m a lifelong foodie of 37yo who’s 1st memories as a Hāpa all involved food at 3 in NYC. Or it’s my Wanderlust of good dining spots in this state I’ve called home for 29y.
My “go to” in reviews is this…
RUN… Do NOT walk to this place… well, get a resie 1st. “Laconia Pizza Joint” and “Reservation” might sound strange. Just do it…
TINY 40 seat place was rightfully packed last night, albiet a Wednesday, after Xmas but a far cry from “peak tourist season” in these parts. In cities you get “holes in the wall”. In NH, as like much of elsewhere America, you get “diamonds in strip malls”… this is strip mall adjacent
You’ve read this far, so yup, the food.
Everything from the warm complimetary Garlic Knots to the side Caesar (added anchovies, duh), the Tuna Tartar and our mains (someone HAD to try the pizza) included Scampi so different, but amazing, from my Italian pop-in-law… It was all 5 stars.
But then the STAFF. They were over the top stupendous. Conner was our server, but the way the WHOLE staff pitched in. It made this 4th gen restaurateur with a 20y career heart melt.
White table cloths with servers running around in hoodies and Vans. Done right food… who cares!

We returned to Bernini’s for my birthday. And it had change somewhat. They were very busy, which made it seem like they were rushing. The server was good but didn’t know much about the wine list. To me it seemed like she might have been new to the restaurant. The food itself seemed to have changed a bit as well. All in all, our previius visits were a lot better than this last one.

Great service, food and ambiance. The moment we arrived we were greeted with a smile and our server, Morgan, was wonderful. The Roasted Caesar salad and pizza were both delicious. My granddaughters loved their fettuccine Alfredo. I suggest a blueberry martini if you enjoy cocktails. P
