Dined at Barbaro on a Saturday afternoon during happy hour and had a great experience. The cocktails were expertly prepared and an excellent value at $6--balanced, flavorful, and clearly made with care. We also ordered the New York-style pepperoni pizza, which turned out to be one of the best I've had in San Antonio. The Caesar salad was another standout. It's served with full romaine leaves and topped with a generous amount of freshly grated Parmesan, giving it a simple but memorable presentation. The interior was clean, cool, and comfortable, with every table feeling like a good place to sit--no bad seats in the house. It added to the relaxed, enjoyable vibe of the afternoon. Parking is limited, so expect to find a spot on the street and take a short walk in. Even with that, the visit was absolutely worth it. Looking forward to coming back soon--either to dine in again or grab a pickup order. read more

Went here for a date night on a Thursday. Highly recommend making a reservation and coming here during happy hour. If you don't have a reservation, good luck finding a table. Pizzas are half off and cocktails (frozen and classic) were only $6 for happy hour! We wanted to try the lamb sausage because it was unique and it did not disappoint. You have the umami and gamey-ness of the lamb which was nicely complemented by goat cheese, olives and caramelized onions. Slices were also NY-style and my wife and I left so content! Furthermore, the subtotal was less than $50 for all that we ordered. The only thing I docked a star for was for the service. We weren't checked on for the first 10-15 min and when we got our salads, the staff said they would come back with plates but never returned. Someone else had to grab it for us. read more

The burrata was delicious, the garlic knots too. Parking is atrocious, be sure to read posted signs and don't run across the road in front of oncoming traffic read more

We made a reservation after work to try this place out for the first time. I definitely recommend making a reservation before you go! They have a small parking lot on the other side of the cookie shop, but you can also park along the street. The service and the food were excellent. I am definitely bringing more people to try this place. read more

This is the cutest pizzeria in such an adorable area of town. The building itself is so well restored with penny tile and exposed brick and beams. The historic building is decorated with eclectic paintings and colorful collections to create an amazing atmosphere. The food, especially the pizza was mouth watering with perfectly soft crust and melt in your mouth cheese, the drinks were just as good. Our server was so knowledgeable and helpfully attentive creating a perfect first experience at Barbaros. read more

BARBARO's Pizza is absolutely amazing! We customized our own pizza with mushrooms and pepperoni and it did not disappoint. Only thing we were disappointed in was the outdoor patio seating! We came for a spontaneous date night so we didn't make a reservation. The host sat us outside (we really should've pushed for the bar, but wasn't sure if they'd serve us pizza there) And for a summer evening, this patio was the worst! It had some plant wall decor that was hosting some bugs, we had mosquitoes and flies all over! My server saw me scratching away until she finally offered some OFF bug spray. They sat us at the one table that the overhead fan wasn't facing. Luckily we came with a few handheld fans to use on ourselves. Once the food came out we were fighting for our lives with the flies! Y'all can't get some citronella candles out here??? Our waiter told us we could cover the pizza with a napkin, but they'd still try to sneak up under there. We just scarfed down as much pizza as possible until we asked for a to-go box to protect our last slices. Again, the pizza was divine! We were thinking about it's crisp crust and perfect pepperoni all night. But we definitely know better to make a reservation ahead of time! The cocktails were also pretty good! We tried the Blanche Deveraux and Gin Blossom. We'll be back to try more. read more

The service was really good tonight. He was attentive, helpful but not intrusive. The drinks and the food were good. I must say the constant need to drown everything in parmesan is a little annoying. The pizza was large and the table enjoyed it. The arugula salad was okay at best, but big enough to share. I really enjoyed the arancini ... unique set of flavors with risotto, deep fried and served with a sauce. The space is small so I recommend reservations. The parking is sparse so drive around ... including the neighborhood. read more

Barbaro continues to uphold a high standard for quality drinks, food, and service. Stopped by for some cocktails and pizza during their happy hour (daily 4-6pm). Lauren made the best cocktails, 1st round: old fashioned and mai tai, 2nd round: seasonal frozen limoncello and Blanche Devereaux. We shared a NY style pizza with black olives. It was well balanced with sauce, cheese, olives, and seasoning. Drinks and service were also outstanding. The restaurant is clean with a well stocked bar and outdoor seating is also available. read more

I can't believe it took me this long to visit Barbaro. First of all, the location - I adore this side of town. It's cute, historic, and just overall a great place for visual eye candy. Barbaro is dimly lit with enough indoor and outdoor space to accommodate a good crowd on a Saturday night. They have happy hours in the afternoons, where we got half-off pizzas and drinks. I ordered an old fashioned. It was a little sweet, so it took me a good while to finish it, and it was pretty watered down by the time I was done with it. For some starters, I ordered a charcuterie board, but didn't realize adding cheese and included a $10 upcharge until I got my bill. Hot honey was also an up charge, but not nearly as shocking. My friend ordered garlic knots for the table and they were soft and fluffy. Very tasty. The group ordered two white-sauce pizzas: the carbonara and the clams casino. I only tried the latter and it had a very pleasant kick. (I even drizzled some hot honey on it and it was fantastico!) Our waitress was pretty great. Service was exceptional. I'd definitely come back to try their brunch and more menu items. read more

This is my third visit here but definitely won't be my last. Every time I visit, the staff is amazing and very friendly. This time I went with the New York style pizza and my partner got the manicotti. The pizza was plenty for two people, and could possibly feed one more. I enjoyed scarfing it down while upbeat 80s tunes played in the background. This is a great place for families and friends to hangout. read more

I am EXTREMELY disappointed with the level of service I experienced during my visit on a Wednesday night. My party was seated at 11:15 PM, and we quickly ordered appetizers within a few minutes. Our server informed us she would return shortly to take our main course order. However, by 11:50 PM, no one had checked on us or taken our order. During this time, our server actively attended to every table around us while avoiding eye contact with our table entirely. When she finally approached, it was not to take our order, but to ask if we were ready to check out. We then had to inform her that our main order had never been taken. Instead of apologizing, she stated that there were only three leftover slices available for a group of four and suggested that we should have gotten her attention ourselves. This response was both unprofessional and unacceptable. We had been EXPLICITLY told that someone would return to take our order, so I find it unreasonable to place the responsibility on the us (the customer) when that did not happen. I brought the situation to the manager's attention. While the manager did eventually provide the pizzas we originally intended to order, there was no apology. Instead, the responsibility was again shifted onto us, with the suggestion that we should have communicated our intention to order after the appetizers (which we did). This entire experience reflects a lack of accountability and basic customer service. At no point did anyone take responsibility for the oversight, and instead, the blame was placed on the us (which is unacceptable). I have never felt so compelled to write a negative review before, especially on Yelp but this experience was frustrating enough to warrant it. If I could give zero stars, I would! read more

Came here twice in the span of 3 weeks! This is by far the best pizza in town - i'm a San Antonio native. Definitely recommend the arugula salad too! The pizza is cooked to perfection and the Pesto is made in house with pistachios - MUST TRY!! The service is amazing and extremely friendly! I recommend going at night because the vibe is more intimate. Definitely make reservations! 100/10 read more

One of the best pizzas I've ever had. Totally recommend this place. Had a limited menu but when you want a good pizza there are like 3 places in San Antonio that you need to try, this place is one of them. And dough pizzeria sucks ass. Just the one minor negative for this place and is the racism. My wife and i came here. Again, she is Gringona and I'm Super Mex and the guero shaggy looking mofo waiter would not sit us at a booth because "our booths are for large groups" Not even 5 minutes later a very nice non-mix-race-non-minority couple walked and he sat them at a booth. I was going to go full Laredo on his ass, but then I had to let it go because hey, this is San Antonio and this city is beginning to show more hate than before. But the pizza is still good! read more

Amazing service, good drinks and tasty food abound here. This was my first time dining here and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The tasty spaghetti and gigantic meatballs made me smile. Although the menu is small, the portions are generous. I saw some others enjoying a pepperoni pizza which looked awesome. The only drawback here is the extremely limited parking. There's a very small lot on the side of the building. Otherwise, parking is available on the nearby streets. read more

On the merits of the pizza alone (I ordered delivery), this place has an exceptional NY style pizza. Great crispy undercarriage, soft interior dough at the crust edges, beautifully browned cheese, and tasty and appropriate amount of sauce. In terms of your personal preference for the crust, this is a slice that will hold up to being grasped by the edge without folding the slices (and the slices are quite large). read more

Recommended by a great bar tender in Southside. No seating available. They do not take reservations, yet 1/3 of indoor seating was reserved. Sat outside on patio, more like just an alley. Lots of flies. Request to be moved indoors, empty tables, but nothing avail. Left with food in hand. Would not recommend. read more

The parking at this restaurant sucks. Don't go here without a reservation. We had one and were seated immediately. Soft drinks are canned fyi and the lemonade appears to be carbonated. Wine selection is great! Beer selection sucks. Be aware that everything here comes out piece meal. Appetizers come out one at a time as do the entrees. The burrata with pesto was good but comes with 4 pieces of bread. The bread knots were good. The pizza is okay. We had the NY style with pepperoni & sausage and it was meh. Definitely not worth brining home. The spicy pizza was spicy sweet. Not impressive what so ever. The cacio de peppo with gnocchi was blah. This is a very hipster style bar. People come here to be seen. I know this was featured on the pizza guy David but I wouldn't eat here again. read more

This place was surprising with a top-notch playlist that created a good atmosphere for a casual drink or weekend fun! I did enjoy the inside seating & they also have street-side patio seating. We ordered drinks & three appetizers so I can't judge the pizza or entrees but their cocktails were delicious and super fair wine bottle prices. Our waitress was super nice and did a great job on checking in on us. We got the super delicious charcuterie board, my favorite being their almonds & meat choices. The cheese was good but not my favorite selection but still we cleaned the board. The kale salad was super refreshing and love the grapes. The garlic knots were super fresh & love that they make their marinara sauce in house. Great experience! I'd be excited to get back & try a full meal but based on the apps, I trust it's yummy! read more

Myself and my husband visited Barbaro on a Saturday evening. We didn't have a reservation but we were quickly seated. The ambiance of the restaurant is a loud moody hipster vibe which we liked. Our server was very friendly and helped us with recommendations. We thoroughly enjoyed our pizza and the hot honey. Giving a 4 stars because we had asked for a to-go box after we paid for our meal and the waitress obviously forgot about us after paying. It took 2 reminders and about 20 minutes for us to get the to-go container. Otherwise it was a lovely experience and would definitely check it out again. read more
