Bordinos: Best Date Night Spot

Bordinos restaurant offers upscale, Italian dining, a cozy and inviting atmosphere and the perfect place to take the one you love, which is why it earned the title “Best Date Night Restaurant” by UA students for this year’s “Best Of” Awards.

Located in the heart of Fayetteville nightlife on Dickson Street,  Bordinos is the perfect place to wine and dine your special someone before heading to a movie or night on the town. The extensive menu of specials such as sautéed duck breast, ricotta-chèvre gnocchi and grilled pork loin, along with a wine and specialty drink list makes Bordinos a unique find compared to other restaurants in town.

UA senior Garrett Park described Bordinos as “elegant, sophisticated and romantic.”

“The food really was very good when we went. My date had a specialty drink, a cosmopolitan, which was really delicious,” said Park, who took his girlfriend to Bordinos for her 21st birthday.

While many pick the restaurant for a romantic dinner spot, others head there for a more casual date night, taking advantage of the happy hour drink specials.

“I went there last year and it was really fun. I had a Tropical Storm, which was a fruity pineapple citrus drink, and it was delicious,” said Meleah Brock, social work major. “The servers were really helpful and nice, and the bar had a great setup with lots of seating. The restaurant just has a nice atmosphere, and it’s fun to go there for dinner or drinks.”

Taking the spot for “best date night” as voted by students across campus, Bordinos remains one of our Fayetteville favorites for a romantic place to take that special someone.
