Came for mom's birthday and overall, some aspects of Barberio Osteria were excellent whereas other parts were just ok. First off, upon walking in, the majority of the tables were open so it was kind of odd to be offered the one right by the bathroom. Why? Then, when the waitresses came over, we began by asking if the bread of warm but instead of realizing it was a question the waitress noted "yes we can warm the bread" which implied we now ordered it. Welp, it's ok. At least it's Acme bread. As for the warming, it was put over the grill which added an interesting char flavor that actually complemented the olive tapenade quite well so secret menu ask I guess? We also added the citrus salad which had arugula, radicchio, pistachio, and a variety of citrus slices including oranges and grapefruit. It was a nice light and bright salad! Next we went with the 40 yolk pasta and the pappardelle. Between the two, the 40 yolk pasta was my favorite. The fresh sage really elevated the Parmesan. The pappardelle was also very good but it didn't have that unexpected pop of flavor. We also added the whole grilled red snapper which was grilled to perfection. The meat was sweet and tender and really tasty! I especially enjoyed it with the green sauce that accompanied it! Unfortunately neither of the desserts on this night spoke to us so we didn't order it. Overall, dinner for 4 came to just under $170.
Good Italian food, excellent service, nice interior. We weren't very hungry on the night of our visit so we had an app and a main - a tuna and bean dish, and a pork also paired with delicious beans Both choices were a win and seemed like the menu is very thoughtfully arranged.
Romantic, trendy spot on Valencia. I'm surprised at how easy it was to get a Saturday night reservation the day-off, but it was to my benefit -- would definitely come back for dinner with friends before a night out. Great wine list, excellent pastas and the market fish was super filling. My personal favorite was salty, rich mushroom ravioli, but others really liked the red sauce.
Barberio Osteria has been on my "want to try" list for a while, so I was excited to see them on the Restaurant Week lineup. My husband and I decided to go and noticed there was plenty of reservation availability online, so we opted to walk in. We were seated right away, although next time I might book ahead since it looked like reservations offered more options (e.g., counter vs. standard seating). No big deal though - it was fun watching the hustle and bustle of the open kitchen (even if it got a little warm near the wood-burning grill). Since there were two of us, we were able to try almost everything on the RW menu (everything except the cappelletti), while also getting glimpses of other dishes being prepped in the kitchen. As a pasta fan, I was especially excited for the pappardelle with bolognese, and it did not disappoint. Everything we tried was delicious -- shoutout to the tonno e fagioli too! Even though it was a busy night, the staff were attentive and quick to respond. I'm looking forward to coming back soon and trying some of their non-RW items!
Went to Barberio Osteria the other night to celebrate the end of our honeymoon, and it's definitely an underrated gem ! The location is beautiful, the design of the space is modern yet comfortable, and there is adequate space between the table. Both of our servers were very kind as well. We ordered the anchovies as an appetizer that came with a delicious tomato and pepper accompaniment, a flavor with anchovies that is never had before but really enjoyed. My husband then ordered the papardelle with the bolognese which was insanely delicious. I try not to eat pork but had a small noodle and the flavoring on it by itself was remarkable. He absolutely loved it. I ordered a pasta dish with tomato sauce and summer squash which was perfectly cooked Al-denté and very well spiced. We then finished with the chocolate caramel budino which was a lot more delicate than other budinos I've had, but not too sweet. We truly had a wonderful time. The only thing I will say is that even though we said we were celebrating the end of our honeymoon in the reservation, nothing was really done to agknowledge it, so I might maybe not go for a life event, but the food more than made up for it and I can't wait to go back.
Super cute hidden gem! This dark romantic restaurant is tucked away on Valencia, great location to get a dinner before going out in the Mission (we ate here before going to a movie at the Alamo). We had an early reservation so it wasn't super busy. Service was quick and attentive. For 3 people to share, we ordered: - Panzanella di drupace / stone fruit salad (a surprise hit!) - Acciughe / house-cured sardines (it's great it you like sardines) - Doppio / double-stuff pasta (a little too sweet for me personally) - Branzino fish special (great for sharing, and looks impressive!) A cute spot definitely worth a visit for a date night or a friend's dinner!
The food was so good I forgot to take a picture. The prosciutto, bread, and olive oil were excellent. The paperdelle bolognese was delicious!! The ambience is very nice. It's a classy, dimly lit setting with great finishing touches. The service was attentive and friendly.
Barberio Osteria @barberiosf 557 Valencia St, San Francisco, CA 94110 Haha! We were totally blown away by the sister restaurant Altovino @altovinosf before, and now we're in the Mission district! We liked Altovino a bit more because that truffle appetizer was just too good, seriously ! For the appetizers, we loved the Prosciutto di Parma--super cool with all those textures, the crispy crackers with the salty ham were awesome! The tuna dish, though, was kinda meh. For the pasta, Strozzapreti was our fave--even the veggie version was packed with flavor from the veggies and creamy vibes. Seems like they switch up the veggie types now and then! The menu now is different from what we had back then. Pappardelle was as tasty as always, and the Agnolotti had this unique pasta texture that stood out. The grilled fish was a bit pricey, and the portion wasn't huge! The Panna Cotta felt like it had a smaller serving compared to the sister spot, kinda sad about that You can save 20% using @inkind App 之前吃過姊妹店 Altovino非常驚艷，這次來mission區～我們喜歡Altovino 多一點，因為前菜松露那道真的太好吃了 前菜喜歡Prosciutto di Parma，有各種口感，脆脆的餅搭配鹹火腿好讚！另外一道鮪魚就比較普通～ 義大利麵最喜歡Strozzapreti ，即使是素的，蔬菜跟奶香味味道很豐富，他們好像會定期更新青菜種類～菜單現在上面的跟我們當初吃的不一樣！Pappardelle一如既往的好吃，Agnolotti 的麵口感很特別 烤魚價格偏高一點，份量不算特別多！Panna Cotta比起姊妹店份量好像比較少 #winnie_date #winnie_sanfrancisco #winnie_eat #infatuation #infatuationsf #sanfran #sf #sanfrancisco #sffoodie #sffood #bayarea #bayareaeats #bayareafoodie #sfbayarea #italian #italianfood #pasta #sfeats #weekend#pannacotta #truffle #appetizer #italianrestaurant #sffoodies #foodspotting #舊金山 #灣區 #海外生活
Wow, just wow. Absolutely phenomenal dining experience. Beautiful restaurant. Incredible service but most importantly the food was 100/10. Every single thing we ate was perfection. -prosciutto app is a must! Simple yet perfect. 10/10 -bread with anchovy infused olive oil. Bread was really good but the lemony salty oil was the star. 10/10 -pappardelle. Rich and flavorful 10/10 -angolotti al plin: light and fresh 10/10 -affogato dessert 1000/10 an absolute must. The ice cream is actually perfect and holds up beautifully against the smooth espresso -espresso tonic is very light and yummy - i had one of their vermouth cocktails, the name escapes me but it had a sugar rim. It was perfect Honestly just go here! It truly is THAT good.
This place is classy and delicious. Our friends took us for a nice anniversary dinner and it did not disappoint. Staff is great, knowledgeable, friendly. Food was delicious - they're happy to accommodate vegetarian needs! It's definitely on the higher end for Valencia street, and you're going to want more than just one entree per person as the portions are fairly European. For a special night out, I recommend!
My colleague from Italy said it was the best Italian he's ever had in SF. We ordered the top three recommended pasta dishes. Intimate and cozy vibes, and making a reservation last minute on Friday was very easy. I forgot what the arancini-like appetizer was called, but it was soo good, creamy and perfectly fried. My favorite pasta dish was the 40-yolk egg pasta with truffle. The pappardelle was great, and I loved the noodle texture of the spinach/olive pasta. We were so full at the end but will definitely come back to try the rest of their pastas. It was a pleasure meeting the owner Saul. Amazing/extensive wine selection. Friendly staff
Made a reservation for two on a Thursday night at the chefs counter, arrived a little early and was promptly seated. Restaurant had a few other people but plenty of space. As the night progressed more guest trickled in but plenty of space for walk ins. Drinks: Amalfi Sunset - well balanced and refreshing a little salty, sweet and bitter, nice starter beverage Insalata - solid mixed salad, with Asian pear and pomegranates, lightly dressed which is how I prefer my salads Suppli - very good - comes with two to an order, fried crispy with no greasiness, filled with risotto and cheese, the truffle aioli worked nicely with this, rich but delicious Agnolotti - fantastic, pasta was perfectly cooked with a slight al dente texture, the creamy mushroom filling was liquid almost like a sauce on the inside, the asparagus, onions, peas and brown sauce were a nice compliment Tagliatelle - a miss for me, overly salty, pasta was well cooked but a bit too many flavor component with olives, lamb, preserved lemons, fennel and mint would skip this one Service was excellent, staff is attentive and friendly. Water was refilled throughout our meal, plates were replaced between courses and staff checked in throughout the meal. Overall a solid spot for Italian in SF, nice variety in the menu. Besides the tagliatelle, everything else was outstanding, worth a try.
Excellent homemade pastas, lovely whole fish specials, good wine list! Service on a Saturday night was a little slow but everyone was helpful and lovely.
Cute spot in the Mission. We came for dinner a little after 6, wasn't too crowded but filled up by the time we left around 8 PM. Service was great, really attentive staff. Menu isn't enormous and our server gave some good reccs. The Pomodoro salad is a great starter. Fresh tomatoes, creamy burrata, loved the pickled red onion. Simple, elegant and very tasty. We shared the Pappardelle -pasta was made in house was perfectly al dente. Sauce was meaty & hearty. Only thing I would change or add is more spice-was a little too tomato-ey.. I guess I could have asked for red pepper... We ended with a dessert- was caramel/chocolate pudding. Was the highlight of the night. It was light & airy. Not too sweet at all and the whipped cream was an excellent topper. Loved it! Bravo Barberio! We will be back! read more

I think this place has reoriented my baseline for five star reviews. The quality of the food, dark and moody ambience, and immaculate service made this a dining experience that I would like to repeat over and over again. Is it traditional Italian? No, but you don't come here for that. You come for the innovation and creativity! Not one dish disappointed. Every dish was at least one person's favorite at our table. For the antipasti, we ordered the Acciughe (anchovies) and the Sformatino (honey nut squash custard). The savory-sour hit of the Acciughe was an explosion of flavor while the Sformatino brought a delectable creamy experience. For the primi, we ordered the Tajarin al Burro e Salvia, Malloreddus, and Pappardelle. My god, the Tajarin al Burro e Salvia was simple but RICH and my favorite pasta of the night, a mix of a very eggy thin noodle, melted better, sage and cheese. The Malloreddus made for lively discussion at our table, a saffron pasta dish with sausage and a crunch(!). The Pappardelle was the most classic dish of the night and well executed with premium meats. For dolci, we shared a Budino. It's described as a chocolate hazelnut pudding, but I would liken it more to a cross between custard and flan. It was rich, creamy and NOT TOO SWEET! Finally, our server Emmelle was a standout. She was attentive and patient and did a great job walking us through the menu. I'm itching for my next visit here. Make sure you drop by too! read more

Went for dinner on a Saturday night. Reservations recommended. Very lively restaurant on a popular section of Valencia St. Had a lovely tuna and bean salad followed by tortellini w/lemon and we also had the pappardelle w/ragu. The citrus panna cotta was perfect. The staff were attentive and welcoming read more

So happy for a yummy and well decorated Italian restaurant conveniently in the Mission! Barberio Osteria has amazing pasta and the most wonderful service. We came on a friday night (without reservation) and were seated right away. The restaurant itself is very spacious, pretty dark (so excellent for date nights?), mansion-feel, there is a large section in the back and in the front as well, and plenty of bar seating. For our first visit, we came for pasta and were very pleased. The menu seems to be updated with the latest seasonal offerings which is so exciting because this means, we'll get to try new things every time we visit :) We ordered these pastas and highly recommend: - Cappelletti (filled with autumn squash, mascarpone, parm, and serviced with brown butter, sage, toasted hazelnuts, pomegranates, and saba. If you take a look at my picture you'll see how beautiful each cappelletti is (they are a little bit bigger than a tortellini and have thicker dough, reminded me a little bit of wontons but with ticker dough). LOVED it, we wanted more. It was rich but not overwhelming, every bite left us wanting more! - Maccheroni alla chitarra (guinea fowl ragu, fennel, red onion, chili, porcini, tomatoes, roaster sweet peppers, capers, olives, parm). This was divine. The pasta was like thick spaghetti, and the ragu itself was well-balanced with all the other ingredients in the dish and every mouth was a little bit of a flavor and texture bomb For our first visit, we didn't make it to secondi but you bet we'll be back! We wrapped up our wonderful dinner with a strawberry sorbetto and you get two lil scoops of the most fresh and fruit-foward sorbetto you can find around town *CHEF's KISS* overall read more

Service: From the moment we got inside, everyone was so kind and welcoming. Our waitress, Emma, was very attentive the entire time, making sure our waters were always filled as well. Food: we ordered the insalatina, pappardelle, the branzino daily fish, and affogato & panna cotta for dessert. Everything was coursed out perfectly and the food was cooked well! The insalatina was fresh and had a good balance with the strawberries. The papperdelle was chefs kiss -- perfectly cooked pasta with a good portion of meat. The branzino wasn't seasoned too much itself but came with a lot of pairings like salsa verde, chilis, lemon, salad, and olives to season how you like. The affogato and panna cotta were just a perfect dessert to end the night. Ambiance: elevated Italian. Can be a nice date night or semi casual catch up with friends as well! Overall, would come again! read more
I'm so happy that there's a new Californian Italian restaurant. The chef travelled to Italy a lot and his food reflected his experience there. - Black truffle agnolotti was excellent. - My partner really enjoyed the pappadelle - The salad was refreshing with seasonal citrus. I will check out AltoVino next. It's their sister restaurant. read more

4.5 STARS As we were savoring the food at Barberio Osterio, waves of pleasure rolled through my body while I tried to hold in my creepy, euphoric Mark Wiens face. And, then one lady's raucous laughing shook the dining room and cut that 'gasm real short. Whomp whomp. As with any new hip resto, Barberio Osterio is very lively so it may be it's best to dine right they open on a weeknight or during lunch to have a more enjoyable experience. We had 5:30 pm rezzies on a Friday, and by 6:30 pm...the noise level was too much and we couldn't hold a convo. Opening mid-September, Barberio Osterio is already the "IT" spot on Valencia. And, for good reason because the food is remarkable. So, def make those rezzies on Resy esp on the weekends. They're open for indoor dining only. M E N U Regional Italian Cuisine using seasonal, locally sourced ingredients. Pastas are homemade. Wine (all iItalian) and low abv cocktails (vermouth, sake, etc) only. No full bar but there's plenty of bars within walking distance: Blondie's, Dalva, Mother, ABV, The Valencia Room, etc. 6% SF health mandate added to bill. F O O D * Complimentary Bread w/ olive dipping oil: https://tinyurl.com/52rv5jvk Fresh crusty country bread served with a briny, fruity olive oil dip. * Sacchetti: Pasta parcels w/ slow roasted stemple creek lamb, pecorino romano & rosemary, zucchini & pecorino fonduta, peperonata, shaved summer squash, herbs ($26): https://tinyurl.com/29wb4mut Don't let this "healthy" looking pasta fool you...it's filling, deliciously satisfying, and well-balanced in flavors. Al-dente chewy pasta parcels generously filled with savory, meltingly tender shredded lamb with a creamy cheese sauce and tangy peppers for a bite. One of the best pasta dishes I've had to date. We used the extra bread to sop up every. last. drop. of sauce. GET THIS! * Papparadelle: 10-hour bolognese-rossotti ranch veal, schmitz ranch dry aged beef, stemple creek pork, prosciutto di san daniele, soffritto, baby spinach, parmigiano-reggiano ($25): https://tinyurl.com/ycxubfve A signature dish at their sister resto, AltoVino, this was our least fav dish of the night. There just wasn't enough bolognese to coat the long, wide sheets of papparadelle so it tasted on the plain, drier side. * Pesce al Sale: Black cod roasted under salt & herb crust, roasted summer squash, frittella di zucchine, cherry tomatoes, capers, castelvetrano olives, young onion, soft herbs, cherry tomato passato ($39): https://tinyurl.com/yvumnudb Carved and plated tableside: https://tinyurl.com/yjr4rcsc, the pesce al sale is NOT to be missed. If you know me, I prefer raw fish and I loathe olives...yet I found myself going back for more...and more. The black cod was silky, moist, and effortlessly flaked off with the brush of our forks. The accompaniments added freshness and texture...those crispy zucchini fritter tho...so good. The bursts of salty umami from the ikura completed this dish. GET THIS TOO! * Zabaglionep: Nectarine zabaglione, citrus granita, macerated berries & stone fruit ($12): https://tinyurl.com/p6mutzk9 To end this awesome dinner, we wanted something light and healthy...and the zabalionep delivered. Fresh, ripen strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, nectarines with refreshing granita and mint paired with an airy nectarine infused cream. S E R V I C E Welcoming, gracious, and attentive service. Everyone from the manager, server, food runner, and bussers were so kind. Food service was prompt and courses were well-paced. A M B I A N C E Rustic modern charm with an open kitchen. Good for solo dining at the bar or date night. P A R K I N G Very challenging street parking (avoid driving through Valencia). There's a parking garage in back, at Hoff and 16th (Wells Fargo alley). Overall, in a city that excels in both old and new skool Italian food, Barberio Osterio stands out for their upscale Italian fare that pays homage to the classics while adding a modern flair. Mmmm, still thinking about the sacchetti and pesce al sale. Def a great addition to The Mission's food scene! read more
Stumbled upon this new restaurant bc we were craving Italian food. Overall would recommend and would come back! Upscale modern chic type of ambiance. Could tell they recently opened because service could be improved upon, but nothing was bad at all. Everyone was very nice and welcoming but more knowledge about the dishes may have been more helpful for us. The food was solid. Ascolani - fried olives with oxtail. Very salty bc of the salted olives but a nice palette opener Pomodoro - refreshing heirloom tomatoes with cucumbers and the most fresh buffalo mozzarella Sacchetti - pasta parcels filled with slow roasted Anderson lamb shoulder was SO GOOD. Highly recommend this. Malloreddus - saffron semola pasta with spicy pork fennel sausage, pasta cooked perfectly el dente. I'm a huge fan of fennel sausage so this was also a win Panna cotta - average read more
Excellent dishes with fresh ingredients beautifully prepared, courteous attentive service, and lovely interior. Stand out dishes were the asparagus and panna cotta. We also enjoyed the malloreddus with spicy pork fennel sausage. Walked in on a Sunday at opening and seated immediately. Great addition to the Valencia corridor! read more

I decided to try this place out tonight and I am glad I did. The Ambiance is really nice and the food was excellently prepared and was like butter in my mouth. It was a little pricey but not too bad. I highly recommend this place! I give this place 5 stars read more
Exactly what I was looking for when I wanted Italian for Sunday lunch. We ordered the prosciutto appetizer, strozzapreti, and pappardelle. Everything was delicious; the pastas were cooked perfectly and their respective sauces were flavorful. We also ordered the espresso gelato which was a great ending to the meal. Service was friendly. We were greeted and seated as soon as we entered the restaurant. The restaurant decor is warm and welcoming; I especially like the cat picture above the bathroom sink. Recommend for delicious Italian in the Mission. read more
One of my favorite new Cal-Italian restaurants around. Chef Nick is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America and opened Altovino about 6 years ago. It's been crushing it, and I was excited to see this new restaurant open up closer to where I live since Altovino is far away. The service was amazing, all of the wine is Italian and carefully sourced, and the pastas were really special. I'd really strongly recommend the pappardelle bolognese and the agnolotti - both was so flavorful and cooked perfectly al dente. For dessert, the affogato had the perfect creamy texture and the coffee is a nice pick me up after giant plates of pasta (portions are not tiny!) read more

My husband and I were just walking around and searching for a nice place to try out. We noticed this place and saw the menu. It looked interesting. We tried it and we loved it. Food and services were great. Must tried their Prosciutto di San Daniele. It's very good. Prosciutto was salty but eaten with sweet dates on gnocchi fritto= yummy. The other dishes were good too. The drinks were not bad as well. We both had spritz. The decor inside was nice. It made us feel like we are in Italy. I love the wall with all the fishes swirling into a circle. read more
