Ardana Food & Drink - Warrington, PA
I recently visited Ardana to try a few of their new menu items along with a couple of long-time favorites, and once again, this place reminded me why it's one of my go-to spots in Bucks County.
We started with our absolute favorite small plate, the Whipped Ricotta with saba and EVOO, served with grilled semolina bread. The saba drizzle adds this subtle sweetness that completely sets it apart from any other ricotta dish around. Simple, fresh, and absolutely perfect.
Next up was one of the new items, the Italian Sausage Soup with kale, orzo, and pecorino. It was hearty and flavorful, the kind of soup that feels like a warm hug on a cold night.
Then came the Honeycrisp Apple Salad, made with mixed greens, dried cherries, gorgonzola, toasted pine nuts, and champagne vinaigrette. I decided to add a chicken cutlet (because, you know, protein goals), and I'm so glad I did , the chicken cutlet at Ardana is outstanding. Crispy, juicy, and easily one of the best I've had locally.
Another new menu item I tried was the Spinach Ravioli Carbonara with crispy pepperoni, pecorino, and chives. The flavor balance was fantastic, creamy, smoky, and rich, though I do wish the portion came with a few more raviolis because it was that good.
And of course, I couldn't leave without ordering my go-to large plate: the Pork Chop Parm. This time, I switched things up and asked for vodka sauce instead of the San Marzano tomato sauce, and it was a hit! Even a few staff members turned their heads when it came out. Trust me, try it "drunken style" if you're in the mood to remix a classic.
Overall, the new menu items at Ardana get straight A's from me. The service was friendly, the atmosphere was warm and relaxed, and the food hit every note. Whether you're stopping in for small plates, cocktails, or a full dinner, Ardana continues to be a standout in the Warrington dining scene.
Must-order: Whipped Ricotta
Pro tip: Add the chicken cutlet to your salad, you won't regret it.
