Barbalu Brooklyn Recenzii

Very delicious food. We tried the lasagna and the sea food pasta and we were not disappointed.

Stood 10 minutes at the front door, looked to be be about 2/3rds full, no one came to check us in.

Food definitely a 5/5. Wife got GF pasta with shrimp and it was delicious. Two of us got pizza and both were amazing. We also got dessert; tiramisu and GF cake.

Food was great. Service was good. Fairly quiet since it was lunch time.

So far so good

Very good food and attentive service. Pizza has a nice crust with good ingredients.

Everything was just average italian fare and pizza took a while to get to the table although there were only 3 other tables sitting in the restaurant so the timing was bad. Food were so boring and presentation lackluster. Probably needs a revamp of the whole menu to rekindle some of what was lost. A long time patron since during the pandemic just musing about good old times

We were in the mood for a quick Italian fix in the neighborhood and this was exactly what we wanted. An elevated Italian restaurant with a good amount of seating, mainly aiming for local regulars and for families with young children. The food was exactly to be expected: good Italian food. Was it an all star performance? No and I wasn’t expecting that which is totally fine. The Lasagne was a bit sloppy, which wasn’t expected, although flavors were great. The Ragu was ordered with Gluten Free noodles which were cooked perfectly, nice. The sauce was great. The Caesar Salad was a bit meh, could’ve been from a Chili’s and I wouldn’t have known the difference. Overall - a good place for families or groups, maybe not for a date night as the atmosphere is a little eh. Yall need to get better forks though cuz like the ones you give us are like mega adult size

Loved the place people friendly, great atmosphere

Whole fam LOVED this place

The cheese and truffle ravioli was phenomenal!! Otherwise everything we had was very good but not exceptional - enjoyed the parmigiana pizza (crust was a bit weak), burrata, chocolate cannoli. The tiramisu was pretty good, not amazing. The host was very welcoming and helpful. Wait service was as expected. I would return.

They did NOT honor a table reservation at 3:30pm on a weekday. When I walked in, I was told they have closed for dinner prep which is fair, but then they should not have confirmed the reservation in the first place. I rode a subway all the way from uptown Manhattan to dine here. On top of this, the host was pretty curt and there wasn't even a hint of apology or empathy in his behaviour. Quality of service does not begin or end with food.

Really excellent pasta (the pappardelle are top notch), the pizza is nice but not on par. I would also skip the chocolate cannoli, they just don’t work for me. Really good service, a little crowded (the tables are really close) and noisy.

Had such a great time eating here! The food was amazing, and the service was spot on. Mateo and the team were so lovely and helpful. The drinks were fantastic too, absolutely hit the spot!

Might be one of the best pizza i’ve ever had

This place rocks
