We came here on Wednesday night and it was a really sweet atmosphere. Felt cozy and the staff was very attentive, especially Mamadou. The menu has so many options that I found it hard to choose (which is not a bad thing), but we went with the caesar salad, meatball pie, and gluten free saffron gigli + the rainbow cookie sundae. Caesar salad was delicious but the only caveat was that it was a little small. Wish there was more lettuce on this one! Perfect dressing and light + fresh. Meatball pie- was not one I would have chosen off the bat but I'm glad we did. Very good and the dough is sourdough and perfect. Can't wait to try other pizza options. Saffron Gigli- was very different, but also good. Glad it was gluten free- it's very sweet tho just as a heads up! Rainbow cookie sundae was also very unique and delicious. The rainbow cookies on the side were a little dry but the inside of the sundae was decadent and the vanilla gelato was a really nice touch. The only feedback I'd give is that the prices are very expensive especially for the pizzas, pastas and dessert. Otherwise we would absolutely return! oh also! we originally came in to try the pasta special which offers a few different pastas on one plate and the half pie option but neither were offered when we came in so that was slightly disappointing :/
Dropped into Barano with my friend in the evening. It was weekday evening, still half packed. I recommend making a reservation beforehand. We opted for meat pizza and chicken parm with pasta on the side. Pizza was solid, crusty with chunks of meat. It was paired with chicken parm and a side of pasta. It was surprisingly still crispy and juicy. Side of pasta amplified the taste. Service was great with polished warmth. The ambiance was cozy with rustic intimacy. I would definitely recommend for a date night or just quick hangout.
The food was very favorable and delicious I will recommend this restaurant to anybody also the Ambiance was amazing I would say if you want to do a great date night family night it was business-wise also so you know I adore it this is one of my favorite restaurants to go to also the service wasn't good as well between the waiter Josh and the executive chef Alberto amazing I give the service 100%
*More like a 2.5 but I'll give it a 3 for the dessert. My sister dragged me here for the rainbow sundae and that was honestly the best part of the night. First of all, we arrived on time but we waited 45 minutes to be sat down at a table. The restaurant was super busy that night, especially it being a Friday. I would have overlooked the waiting time if it weren't that it took a long time to finally get our orders taken. The waiter was nice and charming the times he did pass by our table. We were even there long enough for when the crowd died down and it was still hard to flag down our waiter or any other one. The ambiance is beautiful with low light dimming and Christmas decorations. You know what wasn't pretty? Our food. It was burnt and at first I couldn't tell because of the lack of lighting but when I took a picture with flash, I noticed the burnt areas around my prosciutto and fig pizza and garlic bread. We could taste it as well. We could have asked for a new order but we didn't want to spend the rest of the night there. So we covered the garlic bread in pesto sauce to make it tasty and ate around the black crusts of the pizza. The combination of fig and prosciutto was delicious. As I mentioned earlier, the best part of the night was the dessert. We loved the rainbow cake sundae and the chocolate cake. The cake was rich in taste but not to the point of getting a toothe ache. I really think this place is overhyped and wouldn't come back. Maybe it was an off night but the experience left a bad taste in my mouth along with the burnt bread.
$15 pasta deal on Tuesday is SOOO worth it! We got the Brussel sprouts salad which was super yummy and then 2 pastas. The saffron Gigli pasta is yummy but REALLY sweet so if that's not your jam, I wouldn't get this. We also got this mushroom/truffle pasta which was also super yummy (and it was originally $31 and we got it for $15 which felt like a huge win)! Overall, very very expensive regularly but $15 Tuesday deal is super worth it! Would be back for that :)
Barano gets a solid 3 star rating. In the month of August, Barano had $8 spritzes. My partner and I ordered an original aperol spritz as well as a strawberry spritz. Pretty decent drinks. Time period wise, I went here with my partner sitting restaurant week in August 2025, and we ordered the mozzarella, burrata pizza, carmelle pasta, squid ink bucatini, and a rainbow sundae each. Food wise, pizza was a 4/5. However, the pastas were both sadly overcooked, and not at the el dente texture that we're used to. This place does however, have a great rainbow cookie sundae! It doesn't look very big at first, but this should be shared to avoid an overwhelming sugar rush. Not sure if I'd return, or maybe I'd just stop by to share a rainbow sundae.
We decided to try Barano for restaurant week and mostly their viral rainbow cookie sundae! Upon entering it feels like you are in a wine cellar with rustic decor. Our reservation was for 8pm but we were sat 20 minutes after reso. I attribute it to being restaurant week, as the place was very busy. While awaiting our table we went to the bar to take advantage of the 8 dollar spritz special for August. It was the first time I tried a Hugo spritz, it was amazing- never going back to Aperol! Once we sat our waiter Ivan although he was definitely overloaded took the time out to get to know us personally as a table. He was a great server to have, attune to our needs and pleasant. He even sang a bit for us. As far as the food I'll list my faves- since we got 3 restaurant week menus and 2 extra pastas. My favorite items were: Meatball appetizer- amazing, soft flavorful, tagliatelle bolognese- great sauce flavor, saffron gigli - interesting never tasted something like this before, Denver steak- the sauce it came with for dipping was on umami 10/10. Last but not least of my faves was the rainbow cookie sundae a must have- the meringue on top when mixed with the ice cream was insane!
Barano was one of the top ten meals I've had this year in the city, hands down! This spot was definitely worth the trek to Williamsburg. I will start out with the only negative comment I have: the drinks were not good. I tried 3 different sips and was not a fan of any of them. I was a bit nervous then about how the meal would be, but it was nothing short of spectacular. ALSO, I was quite disappointed that they got rid of the pasta sampler that was on their previous menu - why would they get rid of something that is such a great idea and would let us try more?? We tried a variety of items, all of which I would recommend ordering: Brussels Sprouts (I'm picky about my sprouts and these were perfect), Delicata Squash (probably seasonal but should stay year round); Caccio e Pepe, Vodka Pizza, and the star of the show, the Saffron Gigli- an absolute must! Dessert was also delicious, loved the Rainbow Cookie Sundae and Chocolate Torte. I can't wait to come back - and will stick to ordering a simple Aperol Spritz next time!
The food was fine (the bucatini was AMAZING, cesar salad was a little small for the price tag). Liked the atmosphere, but the vibe was all wrong. I don't expect quiet, especially on a Friday at 8pm, but it was insanely loud in there. It also didn't help that the tables are teeny tiny and I basically had to pick the table up and move it to get to the bench, so I didn't have to climb on top of the people next to us. Service was okay, a little slow and not really attentive. Definitely the wrong move for an anniversary dinner-- based on vibe and lack of specialness or little touches. Also, my biggest pet peeve-- we arrived on time for our reservation and still had to wait for a table. Which I know isn't entirely the staff's fault (some times tables take a minute to turnover for a number of reasons), but it didn't help an already mid experience.
Food 8/10 A homey and traditional Italian spot located south of Williamsburg. I thought the appetizers were better than the main, and the tiramisu was stellar too - dare I say even the star of the show. The prosciutto was nice to start with, and I quite enjoyed the chewiness of the focaccia. The saffron pasta was quite interesting, although a little too watery for my preference. Atmosphere 8/10 Soft and dim lighting, a relatively large interior, and plenty of great conversations. Dark wooden surfaces, elegant and nothing too fussy. Service 8/10 Our host gave us great thoughts on the different cocktails, very friendly and solid experience overall.
A super stylish Italian spot with killer food instagram photos and plush banquettes near the warer in South Williamsburg. No free bread here, but the kitchen takes its food seriously. Ate: Oven warmed olives $5 Chicken- spit roasted with peppers eggplant peppers $22 The olives were an oily tasty surprise. The chicken while flavorful and pretty lacked seasoning unlike a similar version at Gemma. Pricey, but a fun spot on an awesome stretch of Broadway. read more
The type of restaurant that never lets you down. The food here is very good and very high quality!! Also not too high price point wise and good for sharing. Nonnas pizza is a MUST and the pesto bread appetizer was one of the best things I've had. Highly recommend read more

I will always go to this spot when I'm in the city. The pasta is amazing and anything you order will be fantastic. The restaurant is well designed and comfortable with BIG booths. They have original cocktails. PLEASE order the Brussels sprouts, they are covered with Parmesan cheese. Please do yourself a favor and go here. read more
Had dinner here with a group of 7 on a weekday. We shared the following dishes: Meatballs Smoked Mozzarella Two Salumi cuts Two Pastas (I think the Ricotta and Bucatini) Two Pizzas (Margherita and Calabrese) I really enjoyed the meatballs and bucatini. The Margherita pizza was solid but I was not a fan of the Calabrese. Nice addition to the area. Service was friendly and very attentive. They have soft liquor (beer and wine) only. read more

This is such a cozy Italian spot and great for outdoor seating. I must mention how lovely and kind the staff is -- they make you feel so welcomed the second you walk in the door. The pastas here are impeccable. The saffron gigli is one of the most unique, flavorful, and delicious pastas I've ever had -- it's a MUST have; the cacio e pepe ravioli are melt-in-your-month delicious and fresh; the garlic bread is soft and packed with flavor; the mozzarella sticks are crunchy and fresh. Our whole meal was a hit! read more
Very cute italian restaurant in Williamsburg. The interior was a combination of classic/rustic. Service was great from beginning to end. The waitress checked in on us frequently and our water glasses were always filled. My friend and I shares the meatballs and they were so moist and juicy. Just the right amount of sauce and cheese. On that note: I do not believe the restaurant serves complimentary bread which is a strike in my books cuz what kind of Italian restaurant doesn't offer bread for the table. I think there was an option to order a side of their house bread though. I had the grilled skirt steak as my entree and it was as tender as a skirt steak could be. Very well cooked and seasoned. It came with polenta fries which definitely missed the mark. It was beyond salty to the point of almost inedible. I had to drink a ton of water to wash down the taste. Really a shame since it was so well fried. Overall a nice dining experience, just some hits and misses along the way. read more
This new Italian spot in South Williamsburg has some pretty solid food, including small plates, pastas and pizzas that you cut with your own really cool scissors. Of the several things we tried, including the Grilled Zucchini ($15), Insalata Misti ($11) and the Eggplant Parmigiana ($12), the pasta and pizzas were the best. For pasta, we went with the Bucatini ($17), which was filled with generous hunks of rabbit and was cooked to the perfect level of chewiness. For pizza, we tried the Margherita ($14) and the Calabrese ($16), which comes topped with sausage, chilies, peppers, onions and scamorza. Though it doesn't list tomato in the ingredients, it is topped with the same sauce as the Margherita, which made these two a bit too similar, so it would be better to go for a white pie or something else if you are getting two. The pies themselves are a decent size, and the gimmick here seems to be that they are served alongside a giant pair of scissors that you use to cut yourself at the table. It cuts pretty well, and the chewy crusts make for a pleasant and satisfying experience. Service is great too and the atmosphere is nice and laid back. It's a pretty huge restaurant, so it was fairly empty on Sunday night, but there are nice different sections to it, including a bar and seats near the open kitchen in the back. For desserts, they have pretty standard Italian restaurant fare, including an ok Cannoli filled with Ricotta, Candied Fruit and Dark Chocolate ($4) and a Torta ($10) which can safely be skipped in favor of some OddFellows ice cream (which they actually have on the menu as well, or can be obtained from the storefront a short walk away on Kent Ave). read more

Never tried Barano before but had a discount on Caviar and decided to give it a try after seeing the positive Yelp reviews. We ordered the vodka pie and added prosciutto, the cacio e pepe ravioli, and the garlic bread. Not one thing disappointed! In fact, it was all really delicious. The vodka pie with prosciutto was right up my alley. The prosciutto was the perfect texture and the sauce was very tasty. Definitely my favorite and I would order again in a heartbeat. The garlic bread was very good too! The texture of the bread was incredible. Just take some of the garlic/herbs from the center and spread it around (and maybe add some sauce from your pasta) and it's heaven. The cacio e pepe ravioli was tasty as well, though I will say the sauce looked somewhat broken and oily upon arrival. No worries, I get that delivery can affect these things. Took the pasta out, gave it a stir and it was fine. Next time I would consider getting the vodka macaroni. Definitely plan to order again or may visit in person! read more

Randomly selected this place for a cousins brunch with my best friend (her cousin and my cousin), has a nice view of the bridge outside! Orders: Bucatini (three of us got this) -Comforting and cheesy, wasn't crazy about the broccoli rabe though. :( Grilled cheese -Per my best friend, it was incredibly delicious. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE! I came here during the summer for NYC Restaurant Week and it did not disappoint, would definitely come back. The ambiance is not quite upscale but it's trendy romantic. It can be casual romantic as well (they have candles all around the tables) Appetizer: House bread, hummus, mozzarella Hands down the best hummus w/house bread I've had. It is so creamy and filling, I couldn't even finish it all! The mozzarella is super stringy and pairs so well with the crunchy house bread. Entree: Black, white farfalle Comes with shrimp, squid and has a little kick of heat in it. Super delicious and just the right amount of spice. Dessert: Vanilla panna cotta and Olive oil cake The panna cotta is tarty and it topped with a raspberry. I prefer the olive oil cake more just because it has so many flavors and texture going on that it makes you want more, it's a must try. read more
My boyfriend took me to Barano for a surprise date, which was a great choice on his part. Thank you, Yelp! It's a romantic, but family-friendly restaurant in South Williamsburg on Broadway. Portions aren't super large, but the pizza and salad we had were delicious. When we arrived at 6:30pm on a Saturday night, it was lightly crowded, but by the time we left, it was starting to fill up. Lots of families, friends getting dinner, and dates going on. I ordered an Aperol Spritz for a drink ($11) and we decided to split the 'Nduja pizza ($25 - the server said it's their specialty/popular pizza) and the Tuscan kale salad ($14). The salad came out first and exceeded expectations as far as salads go. But the pizza? Showstopper. We barely talked as we ate it. It was big enough to satisfy 2 people, but is not going to stuff you. And you cut it with scissors, which is a fun touch. From the hosts at the front to our server, customer service was fantastic at Barano. They were super attentive and made sure we were always taken care of, even with our water glasses. We left full and happy with our time at Barano. I'd highly recommend it if you're looking for a solid restaurant in South Williamsburg for whatever the occasion. I'll definitely be back for some more pizza. read more

i'm kicking myself for not having tried Barano sooner! It's a bit tucked away on Broadway, across from Donna and Blank Cafe, and it's a wonderfully stylish and intimate spot with a great bar and incredible Italian food. I recently celebrated an anniversary there and it was the perfect level of fanciness without being stuffy. To keep things even more casual (and to avoid sitting too close to noisy talkers at the closely arranged tables), we grabbed a tall table by the bar so our servers were the bartenders. This meant that they made great cocktail and wine recommendations, which was a nice bonus. We started the evening with some cocktails. We loved that they were all named after Arnold Schwarzenegger lines. Mine was called Come With Me If You Want to Live and though it wasn't super special, it was a refreshing and sweet way to start the meal. On our server's recommendation, we got the hand pulled smoked mozzarella, which comes in a fun smokey cloche thing. We got it along with Lucky's tomatoes, which is a very simple dish of fresh tomatoes, basil, etc, and a perfect complement to the mozz. I was even more impressed with the beef meatballs, which were enormous and came buried in freshly grated parm. Though the pasta dishes were a bit small, they were packed with flavor. I got the Ricotta Rosilli, which came with asparagus, truffle pieces, and still more parm. It was packed with flavor and the house made pasta was the absolute perfect texture. My husband got the saffron gigli which he thought was a bit over flavored with the honey in there, but again the pasta itself was heavenly. We weren't super impressed by the dessert, which we ordered from their specials. It was a rainbow cake covered in chocolate and topped with raspberries and crispy rice. I just didn't think the flavor was anything special and would have rather grabbed a gelato cone from Gentile down the street after our meal. In any case, we walked away from there absolutely stuffed with cocktails, food, great wine, espresso, and amaro, and we couldn't be happier. I can't wait to return. read more

My boyfriend and I just went here for Valentine's Day. The food was so good, phenomenal actually. I was pretty full and couldn't finish everything entirely but tried my best! I would go back here again often. It smells like firewood burning when you walk in. The decor and overall aesthetic is pleasing and we'll laid out. Service was incredible! I will say, some of the two seater tables are pretty close to each-other, too close for comfort for me but wasn't that big of deal, just a heads up. So if you make a reservation I would ask to request a booth or something more secluded if that mores your style. I would totally recommend this place if you love amazing Italian food. It's right over the Williamsburg bridge! read more

I have been to Barano about four different times now and I swear it keeps getting better and better! The food is amazing and the staff is always on point and very friendly. I've come here for dinner and had some excellent pizzas, pastas, and small dishes-- and each time the staff has been fantastic with wine pairings as well. It seems as though it doesn't matter what you order-- it will always be excellent! We recently stopped in for Sunday brunch (it was busy, but we were able to snag the last open table without a reservation). Everything we had was incredibly delicious (and craveable-- wishing I was there as I type this!). We started with an artichoke-- and I'm glad my Italian grandmother has no idea what Yelp is, because this was by far the best stuffed artichoke I've ever had! The perfect blend of breadcrumbs, light cheese and lemon. If stuffed artichokes are your thing (or even if they aren't), TRY IT! The breakfast bowl was perfect-- though it didn't list it, it came with maitake mushrooms (a favorite) and had so much flavor. My partner had the breakfast sandwich, which was also quite good. As a treat, we shared the honey pecorino biscuit-- and quite the treat it was. GET ONE!! Also, as I mentioned before the staff is always really friendly and helpful. I always feel welcome as soon as I walk in the door. Looking forward to our next visit. Barano is hands-down a favorite! GO HERE! read more

One of the best pastas in Brooklyn. House made. I can't wait for a pasta tasting menu at this place. That would be amazing. Pizza is crispy thin crust. Great favor. Americano is one of my favorite. Fresh mozzarella that comes out a station by order is amazing. And if you prefer smoked it can be done. Octopus and dry age meatballs are a must. Staff is friendly and helpful. Drink menu is outstanding. It changes quite a bit which is cool because they are very creative in everything that's done, from front to the back of the house. Will definitely be back. read more

One of my friends brought me here to have a girls date. The Establishment: Rustic/Cute/Dimly Lit/Romantic... but still easily a place you could come with your family. The Service: Idk wether it was just our experience, but Barano puts the team in team work. It was all hands on deck! It seems as if we almost met everyone! We probably would have met the cooks if they weren't busy making our food lol! The food: I was craving chicken parmigiana really bad. So let me be very clear. For the most part, if you're looking for "Italian/American staples", go to Olive Garden ! Kidding ! Olive Garden is gross. -I digress- For appetizers we had some of the best meatballs I've had in a long time & a some perfectly cooked octopus. For the main, I had the Cavatelli. If you eat pork. GET IT. Sooo good. My friend had the Spaghetti alla chitarra- much lighter as far as sauce goes but still very yummy. I cant wait to go back & try the pizza because it looked DELISH! read more

Everything was so good! Seriously can't even pick a favorite. Definitely try the brussels and the cacio e pepe raviolis! read more
Barano has great outdoor seating that is properly social distanced. I got the garlic bread along with the dry aged meatball for apps. The garlic bread was one of the best I've ever had. It was almost like a mini garlic pizza if that makes sense but it was very good. The meatball was very tender and the sauce was very good but it was cold and I thought that was a little weird. I got the saffron pasta: very unique. It was a cheesy, hint of spicy, and sweet pasta. I would definitely recommend and my husband got the tagatelle which had a bolognese sauce and he loved it. The food was prepared promptly and service was great! read more

We went to Barano for dinner and had so much fun. The staff was kind, funny and attentive. We started with some drinks to escape the heat. We ordered "the Karen" and the "Benny Batts." Both tasted like candy in the best way. We then ordered focaccia with olive oil, as well as our pasta. The server recommended having everything come out together which ended up being a great idea. The Cacio e Pepe ravioli was amazing. It had a bold, classic flavor that was rich without leaving you stuffed at the end. The Saffron Gigli was also a great dish. It was very unique in that it was a sweet pasta. I would describe it as spicy butter noodles with honey. If you like sweeter foods, give it a try! We ended the meal with an affogato. The vanilla ice cream was some of the best I've had, and the espresso complimented it perfectly. I strongly recommend a trip to Barano if you're in Brooklyn! read more

I had been to Barano for brunch with a friend close to a year ago. I remember loving the Meatballs we had shared, as well as my Breakfast Bowl with crispy farro, giardinera, and kale, topped with a fried farm egg and a broccoli rabe pesto. Though we had been two of the only guests in the restaurant, we had been impressed and swore to return. I happened to be in Brooklyn with someone else a few days ago, and the place instantly popped into my head as an ideal dinner option for us. I checked online for a reservation, but saw nothing at the 8 pm timeslot we had needed. I called the restaurant directly and was told that they could save one of their high-top tables for us in the bar area. We jumped at the opportunity and eagerly awaited our meal. It was a good thing that I had called ahead, because we managed to grab the last table in this normally spacious restaurant, which was then completely packed. Based on my previous experience, we started with the 21-Day Dry-Aged Beef Meatballs, which were served as 3 pieces in a cast-iron skillet, topped with a chunky tomato sauce and herbed ricotta. The balls were airy and succulent, without the denseness that comes from too many breadcrumbs. The sauce was perfectly seasoned, hearty, and possessed the ideal amount of sweetness. We asked for some bread to soak up the sauce and were given a platter that was beyond any typical bread basket. I just knew they had given us the Pizza Bianca, a $5 plate of farro sourdough with a chickpea and basil hummus that was sprinkled with sea salt and oregano. The herbed pesto that was on top of the hummus really enhanced it, and it was just too good to stop eating. Since we were unsure of any potential cost, we figured we would see what was reflected on the bill. We also ordered the Maitake Mushroom Pizza, which was enveloped in mozzarella and ricotta. While the cheeses were creamy, gooey, and smooth, we missed the traditional marinara sauce. (We always feel that way about white pizzas, though.) The added fresno chilies were a zesty substitute, but I wish there were more of them. Then, we had the most perfect Grilled Duck Breast, which was lean and cooked to perfection! It was accompanied by brussels sprouts and farro and glazed with a tangy quince mostarda. The dish exuded rustic, seasonal flavors. At this point, we were extremely full, especially from the bread, but we were waiting on our Herb Lumache goat ragu pasta. Waiting...and waiting, but it never came. We decided to let it slide, since we were stuffed anyway. When the bill arrived, we noticed that we had been charged for both the bread and the pasta. After speaking with the manager, we were able to get both charges removed, which we greatly appreciated. Barano's food was absolutely stellar and worthy of a visit, but the service could be improved. read more

Barano serves authentic pasta rich in flavor and taste. The pasta dishes are served tender and cooked to the perfect density. My Branzino was filet and the delicate white fish was well marinated season was marinaded. The staff was very attentive and very knowledgeable about all of their dishes. While this does not really matter they had an amazing charcoal liquid soap in the restroom. The restaurant is dimly lit, cozy yet spacious and had a nice 90's hip hop playlist going. I could not have asked for a better evening at Barano, nothing beats pasta mixed with a little 90's hip hop. read more

Great heating but still spacious and airy. Super fast service and helpful you can book reservations. 100% would come back for their pizza and drinks. Saffron gigli was nice but not something I would get again, it was pretty sweet and I prefer my pastas to be more savory. read more

Came here for dinner before a night out in Brooklyn. I have my favorite restaurants in BK but after dining here this one has definitely moved to the top of my list. I knew this place was Michelin rated so I was expecting good food but it was better than good! Unlike most restaurants, they didn't start us off with bread. I liked this because you don't fill up on bread and you actually enjoy the food. I started off with the octopus appetizer which was delicious. I always select octopus appetizer when I see it on the menu and this one took the cake for actually being able to taste the charring flavoring from the grill. Yum! We also got the heirloom tomato salad which the cheese was soooo smooth and fresh as well as the tomatoes. I have been craving risotto all week and they happen to have a dish for a special. I believe it was artichokes folded into the risotto with prosciutto and other flavoring. It was delicious! Normally I cannot finish my plate but the dishes were so perfectly portioned and delicious I had no problem finishing it all. This also saved room for desert! I ordered a cappuccino and the tira mi su. The tira mi su was so creamy and delightful! Best I ever had. It wasn't just the food that made me feel this restaurant was one of the best but it was also the service. Our waiter Jordan was a pleasure. When we needed him he was always there and when we wanted to enjoy our dinner alone he was away for the perfect amount of time. Not only that but the staff at the restaurant wasn't overwhelming. They were laid back and personable yet professional. I really enjoy that in a restaurant. Also, the timing of our food was to perfection from the appetizers to the dessert. Each dish came out in a timely manner. I will be returning here soon that is for sure! read more
We booked a same day reservation but only had high chairs by the bar available which was fine. Interior is great. Service was amazing. Really solid waiter. Parking in the area is pretty tough. We started with the Arancini. It was perfectly soft in the inside and crispy on the outside. I had the spaghetti alla chitarra. It was basically a no frills spaghetti lol. The tomato sauce was more tart than being sweet. My wife had the cappelletti which was also nice. Pasta was cooked a perfect al dente and the filling was great. For dessert, we had the torta caprese. It was good but nothing mind blowing. Can't tell how I really feel but I think I'll give this place another try. read more
