    First time eating in the restaurant. We were seated within 5 minutes. Tables were clean and neatly arranged. Server and waiter were both very nice and polite. The bread was fresh and warm, the fried calamari were so tender and the dipping sauce was absolutely delicious!! The brick oven Margherita pizza was very thin but not flimsy, it was just perfect for my liking. Overall very pleased.

    I order out from Barosa all the time so I know the food is amazing, but when at the restaurant it's all that much better! There is an old school Italian feeling in the restaurant and helps give that authenticity to it. The service is amazing even when the place is packed! The barosa salad is amazing and the meatballs taste like my dad's- they're great! The pasta e fagiole was delicious and perfect for cold weather. The pesto pasta was a special off the menu item and was so good I've dreamt about it since! I also think our other pasta may be a restaurant only item because it's on their menu there but not on the website. It was to die for and had sausage crumbles! The dessert was great and all around a great time finally coming in. I will be back for more!

    Tipped amount
    Anders B.

    Before my party even arrived, while I was waiting at the bar earlier in the night, I ordered a $10 drink and left a $2 tip. That tip was later changed to $5. This was a single drink, paid separately, and the tip was altered after the fact. During the dinner itself, I fully expected a mandatory gratuity for a large group. That is standard. What I did not expect was an additional "operating fee" added on top, with no clear disclosure upfront, and still applied even when paying cash. That is a hidden surcharge, plain and simple. Changing a tip and adding undisclosed fees crosses a line. This is not about generosity or misunderstanding. It is about trust. Check your receipts carefully if you dine here.

    My wife and I have been dining here for over 20 years, yet we had no idea they had a downstairs party room. We found out when we attended a wedding. It fits about 60 people, and it was a surprisingly nice experience. The service was so good; no glass remained empty. Very professional and friendly. And the food was just delicious. It was a terrific time.

    Best spot for local Italian. Been going to Barosa for years and the quality is always prime. They always have good specials and the service is always good. In all my years going I never had a bad experience.. Ordered the veal polenta with spaghetti carbonara. So good. Apps of calamari and baked clams were delicious. No matter what you order in this place your Italian food fantasies will come true. Entrees also ordered were chicken sorrentino veal marsala, chicken parm, and the maple pork chop special. The place was packed. Everyone left with full bellies enjoying the experience. Barosa is where it's at.

    I heard this place was suppose to be good! I have never eaten here and tried it for the first time because I moved into the neighborhood. Ordered 2 slices to go. When I got home the pizza was already cold. Mind you I live across the street. It also tasted like old pizza. The crust was super chewy. Did not finish it at all. It's a shame because I heard good things. I don't know if I'll be back here again. If I do it will not be too soon.

    Fantastic. I've been to a lot of Italian restaurants in NY and LA. The quality and atmosphere at Barosa tops them all. Food was prepared to perfection. My friend, who is Italian from Chicago, says it's the best he has ever had. I couldn't agree more. The ambiance & music set the mood for an incredible night of fine dining. Close to Citifield. If you are ever at a game, come before or leave the game early. Don't miss out.

    Shrimp Scampi.

    Meh. Nothing to write home about in my opinion, but I'd give Barosa between a 3 and 3.5 - probably closer to a 3.5. We were a group of seven people and ordered fried calamari, meatballs, chicken franches, shrimp scampi, chicken piccata and a few of the specials. My dish was the shrimp scampi - it had flavor but there was nothing making it a memorable meal. For dessert, we ordered a tartufo and tiramisu along with a few coffee's and cappuccino's. The cappuccino was tastier than I expected it to be. Prices were rather fair, presentation was basic, service was fine, the atmosphere was average and the food was okay. So you see, there wasn't anything bad about the meal, just no single wow factor and that's okay. There are a lot of restaurants throughout the boroughs giving Barosa a cozy spot in the dime a dozen category.

    Seafood Avocado
    Lesley O.

    I have been hearing really good things about Barosa so decided to give it a try myself and was pleased with what I ordered. I had the eggplant rollatini and the seafood avocado appetizers and enjoyed both, but the seafood avocado was unique and definitely the star of my order. An avocado on top of mixed greens topped with chopped lobster and shrimp with mayonnaise and a balsamic glaze is not something I have ever seen on a menu at an Italian restaurant, but I am so glad it was because it was delicious. The eggplant rollatini was also enjoyable because the eggplant was sliced thinly and had the perfect ratio of ricotta and mozzarella but the only thing I would have preferred was for the tomato sauce to be just a tad sweeter because it was a bit tart/acidy for my personal liking. I definitely will be ordering more and look forward to having the seafood avocado again.

I'm also surprised I've never noticed this restaurant before, considering I've probably driven past it countless times. The restaurant itself felt clean, comfortable, and welcoming. Our server, who I believe was also the owner, was incredibly friendly and attentive without ever being overbearing or making us feel like we were being hovered over. The whole meal had a relaxed, comfortable feel to it. Overall, the food was very solid. We started with the Polpo, grilled octopus with hummus and grilled vegetables, which was extremely tasty. I initially thought hummus might be an odd pairing with octopus, but it worked surprisingly well. I wished there was more hummus. The Radici salad was also excellent. The Tortelloni Verde, spinach tortelloni was fresh and light, maybe a little too light and healthy for my personal taste! I probably would have preferred a richer sauce or a little more cheese, but that's really just personal preference rather than a complaint about the dish. We also ordered the Pasta Al Frutti di Mare. The sauce tasted fresh and flavorful, and the seafood was cooked very well. Unfortunately, the mussels were the one exception, as they didn't taste fresh. We finished everything else on the plate but left the mussels. When the owner asked about our meal and we mentioned it, he seemed genuinely surprised and concerned. My feeling is that this was probably more of a purveyor issue than something the restaurant did wrong, but unfortunately, it was the one thing that kept the meal from being five stars for me. We finished with tiramisu and two cappuccinos, and both were well made and delicious, the perfect way to end the meal. Despite the issue with the mussels, we really enjoyed our lunch. Between the food, comfortable atmosphere, and genuinely warm service, this is definitely a restaurant I'll be returning to.

The chefs did an amazing job cooking it just right. I also loved the fresh mozzarella cheese and fresh basil. It really elevated the pizza to another level. The crust was great all around with a slight oven char. Lastly the calzone took me by surprise as it had no sauce and was filled with ricotta cheese as opposed to mozzarella. It came with a small cup of hot marinara sauce for dipping/pouring. It was definitely an interesting calzone but don't think it was worth the price. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience and Nick's and would highly recommend it. I do wish the pricing was a bit more fair when it came to full vs half pie toppings as well as the calzone.

But this time I came as a much larger party and won't be back, at least not with a large party. Overall the food at this dinner was pretty good and waitress and servers were great. But, I was however extremely disappointed that I had a reservation and had to wait outside with my party (2 were seniors) for 25 minutes bc our table wasn't ready. My sister and parents got there 15 minutes early. The hostess told my sister when she got there it would be 10-15 minutes bc they were "getting our table ready". Understandable, my sister did arrive early. Fine. After about 15 minutes or longer, bc it was already passed our reservation time, I go in and ask the hostess about the table, who rather pointedly was like ummm, I already told another person in your party that we are getting your table ready. I was like oh ok. And she then says it will probably be another 10-15 minutes bc we are still setting up the table. I thought to myself, it takes 20- 30 minutes to set up a table and we aren't in a private room or anything? Mind you she wasn't apologetic at all and a little curt. But after this exchange it just dampened the mood for me. At the next 15 minute mark I asked (3rd time) and a different male host finally tells us it was bc there was another large table who was sitting for a really long time (his words) and wasn't getting up although they paid 20 minutes ago AND he couldn't tell us when the table would be ready. I'm thinking, so you can't politely tell the table that they had another reservation that's been waiting even after they already paid 20 minutes ago? Fine, whatever, but you know how many restaurants I've been to where they have done that to my party when another reservation arrived? We finally get to our table after waiting a little while longer and it was extremely cramped, uncomfortable and we were all squished in. I was so embarrassed that I picked this restaurant with my parents (bc they can be picky) and family for such a special occasion and overall it was so underwhelming, everyone in my party was a little annoyed bc of either the waiting, the exchange, and/or the tight/cramped table. Honestly, the attitude/tone I felt this evening, which I'm sure was unintentional (or at least I hope) was that they just didn't give a sh*t about us (again aside from our waitress and servers). How sad for our party I guess. Would I come back though? Maybe, but I've had varying experiences here over the last 10+ years and not always consistent. I'd give other restaurants in the neighborhood (and there are plenty) a shot first before dining here again. I live in the neighborhood and enjoy their food and most of the service most of the time but I would never come with a large party for a special evening after tonight.

As for the mixed platters, we had lamb gyro and the souvlakis as well as the lemon potatoes and fries. The lemon potatoes were perfectly seasoned and had a nice tartness to each bite. The lamb gyro was tender. The chicken souvlaki being moist and flavorful is the barometer for the level of detail that goes into every plate served.
