We sat at the bar and ordered meatballs and Fritto for an appetizer and Vongole pasta, and shared a bottle of red wine. Bartenders were very attentive and nice and provided a great service. It was a second time for me to eat at this restaurant. In my opinion, atmosphere and service is great. Food is good but not excellent.

We went here last night and honestly I must say, the atmosphere is great, the service is great, but the food itself, the important part- was extremely disappointing. My pasta dish pictured really had nearly no flavor. My fellow party members tried my food and remarked how it had no flavor other than pasta and the seafood in it. It was like the tomato sauce lacked flavor completely and I tasted no seasoning at all. We also got “bread service” and the bruschetta for the table. I must say I am again disappointed that the bread was not warmed at all the amount of olive oil provided was so small, most of the other Italian restaurants I frequent don’t make you pay for bread and it actually has flavor to it. The bruschetta was the best tasting thing we received it had flavor. Will not be returning, unfortunate, but first Italian restaurant I don’t like.

The place looks beautiful, and very accommodating as well as the service . The food was a bit disappointing. The fungi flat bread was ordinary, the heart of palms salad was delicious , and the eggplant arancini were fine but not too much special. Chocolate cake was very tasty .

My wife and I stopped in here for lunch and met Alin, the owner. A most gracious host. Alin told us about the menu and which dishes came with homemade pasta, in what types of pasta that were not on the lunch menu.
We started off with two Small Plates, appetizers. One was Fritto, a dish of fried calamari, shrimp, and lemon with red pepper flakes, accompanied by a side of Marana. The other was the bruschetta. Both were excellent! Distinct flavors, clean taste and were complimented by a white wine that we ordered at his recommendation.
For our main dishes, my wife ordered the lasagna, outstanding! And I ordered the Bolognese with pappardelle, a homemade pasta instead of the spaghetti. Amazing flavors and texture. This was accompanied by a delightful red wine recommended by Alin.
For dessert well we didn’t have any because we were so full from our meal. Next time we will definitely save room for the tiramisu.
As a no, we do not frequent Italian restaurants that often as we both love to cook and don’t find them to be worthy of a visit. However, Baraonda Ristorante is not your typical Italian restaurant. If you know food, then you will appreciate this restaurant.
Enjoy!

Not sure what the dissatisfied folks ordered but everything I had was phenomenal. The highlights for me were the diavala pizza and the mushroom pasta. It was perfectly al dente. Also had the mini cannoli and despite not being a dessert girlie it was so good! Round it out with a nice wine and cocktail menu and it’s a great night out with the girls or ones s.o.

We had a BIG FORTY birthday group party (7 people) and had so much fun!!! Everything was perrrrfect, the atmosphere, the service, and especially the food!! They were so kind to bring a complimentary cake for my friend’s birthday. We enjoyed our time so much that we accidentally broke a wine glass but they were so kind about it… A huge “Thank you” to Baraonda Ristorante and all the staffs there!

Great restaurant. Delicious food, and attentive service. Nice atmosphere. We had a great time eating here. The chef was able to accommodate food allergy. The steak was delicious and done perfectly inside (see picture). Just the way I ordered it. Complementary valet parking. A little overpriced. We will come back to this restaurant.

Bought a steak for delivery and it was raw. Called the store and told me they don’t cook the steak 100% and I have to cook the rest of it. No instructions no warning. Raw steak. I didn’t know until a few bites. Called and nothing but excuses and not accountability.

Stop in for for Pastatini every Thursday through September for some delicious food. Gigli Vodka and the Ziti Al Forno are a must try! Worth every bite from both dishes. The tiramisu is a great way to end the meal with getting a sweet tooth fix. Don’t forget to check out their Martini’s and wine section.
