We just fell in love!! Everything was lovely...we sat at the bar and Olivia could not have been a better bartender and guide. The octopus starter was fantastic and the seafood pasta was perfectly spicy and delectable ...chocolate torte perfection.

We’ve been here a few times and it never disappoints. Last nights Valentine’s Day menu was absolutely amazing. I’ve included a couple photos of my appetizer and entree. I highly recommend this place if you’re looking for amazing food and service. Bon appetite.

Went there the other night I order the half chicken, which was amazing. Very tender, moist, juicy and with the sauce it was all phenomenal. Also got the Tiramisu for dessert and that was really good, not to sweat not too heavy. It hit the spot. Our waiter was very tentative and nice, was a great experience. Not the biggest fan of where we were seated but we also didn’t have reservation so I completely understand. We will be back again.

My friend and I have been coming to Barbaro every time we’re nearby visiting the historic homes in Hyde Park. Service is excellent and they were able to accommodate all of my friend’s dietary preferences. It is one of the only restaurants that we feel comfortable eating inside since there is a table in the back that is quite distanced from all of the other diners. I was fortunate enough to visit on Chicken Parmigian night. Chicken was cooked perfectly and was tender and juicy. Portion was generous and I was able to make two meals out of it. On the other occasions that I visited here I got a fish special and the burrata ravioli. The skin of the ravioli was super fresh. The filling was smooth and flavorful. The oil carried the basil flavors well. The cocktails here were above average. The coffee blvd was the most unique one. It is a twist on a traditional Negroni cocktail. The addition of some coffee infused Campari combined with the herbal notes of the vermouth made a unique bitter flavor that I found to be more appetizing than that of a traditional Negroni. Mr. Brightside was an excellent choice for a summer night. The elderflower and citrus combination was quite refreshing and went well with the fish special. Witchmaker was a light version of a whiskey sour with some ginger. It’s good for someone who wants to start on whiskey cocktails since the whiskey was lighter compared to others I’ve had. The dessert I gravitate towards is the coconut sorbet. It was packed with coconut flavor and had a smooth texture with a few bits of shaved coconut folded in. Looking forward to my next meal here when I’m in the area!
