Had a very pleasant dinner here at Bernardi’s. Came here on a Saturday night, and the place was quite popular. The restaurant is casual, but I could see the place being used for slightly upscale events too. The Italian food was good, but the highlight of the evening was the giant pretzel! It was HUGE and delicious — and came with a cheese sauce and a marinara sauce.

Dining at Bernardi’s II is always a wonderful experience. Their fried chicken dinner is absolutely the best choice on the menu, but all other options are safe/good options too! The service is always great. It’s located in downtown Pontiac and is your typical steakhouse style restaurant. If you’re in town and looking for a good sit down dinner place I highly suggest Bernardi’s. They also have good cocktails and specials day to day.

You can’t really say you’ve had the world’s best fried chicken until you have eaten at Bernardo’s II. Yes, it is an Italian restaurant, but the chicken is the showcase item on their menu. The crust is light, thin, and crispy and seasoned to perfection. Order the chicken, and get a side of pasta to get your Italian fix.

Excellent food, excellent service. We had originally taken a ride down to Log Cabin, only to discover they’d closed early. We improvised and searched for another option in Pontiac and were pleasantly surprised to discover Bernardi’s. Very crowded for a Tuesday evening, reasonable dinner prices. The fried chicken was excellent and the steak fries are to die for. We’ll definitely be back to this hidden gem in the charming downtown area of Pontiac!

I came here for the first time thinking that this restaurant would be just like Capponi’s in Toluca, which I love. It’s nothing like Capponi’s. In Toluca I always get a carafe of iced tea because it’s delicious & I don’t have to keep bugging the people to refill my 8oz glass. The waitress at Bernardi’s refused my request for a carafe, which was for the better looking back on it. Their tea looked & tasted like water. I like to eat & sometimes order a lot of food. The waitress here evidently thought it would be funny to comment about it; they’ve never done that to me in Toluca. The garlic bread w/ cheese in Toluca is the best I’ve ever had & it’s literally SMOTHERED with mozzarella cheese; you can’t even see the bread. Here at Bernardi’s there was a pinch of cheese… maybe ten inch-long shreds. The filet in Toluca is so tender it melts in your mouth & the au jus is rich with flavor. Here in Pontiac the filet was not tender & had maybe a spoonful of tasteless au jus. It’s amazing how much of a difference there was between the 2 restaurants. I won’t be returning to Bernardi’s & will stick with the far superior Capponi’s.

Absolutely amazed by the exquisite food. We were walking downtown and the smell from outside made us stop here for the first time. Great food for an amazing price. There was a 40mn wait so it is a place to plan ahead and not for a quick bite but it was worth it! We can’t wait to go back.

Update: Enough with the excuses. It’s been “temporarily” closed long enough. They should just admit that they are permanently closed. Likely because of poor management.
Got carryout. Hoof and Snoot with Steak Fries. Fries were a little overcooked. But the steak and sausage were well prepared and in good time. Good meal for the money. Will be back. Can recommend. Wish they were open more hours per week.

A little gem of small town Pontiac, IL. I wasn’t expecting much and was surprised that they are above average for sure. Giving them a five star for it being better than expected. Will visit again.
Pasta has just the right amount of sauce and taste good!

While visiting family/friends in Pontiac, (from Southern California) we all went out for dinner. Had the very best pretzel for an appetizer!!!! We all enjoyed our meals very much. The Alfredo sauce was tasty and the salmon was good.
