My family had the best experience! The food was outstanding and the service was amazing! I would highly recommend their shrimp linguine, their appetizers, and the lemon cake! Thank you for a fabulous dinner!

My husband and i wanted to try this place so bad Saturday August 2 2025 we finally got to go and it was amazing he was so happy that he kept saying it’s the real thing! It was a little loud but that’s only because it was so packed with some really nice costumer and staff everyone was having such a wonderful time they gave us bread before our food came out and the soup was amazing I couldn’t get enough of the soup the appetizers were amazing the cheese pull on the motz were incredible the homemade dipping sauces I also loved. My dish was half Alfredo and half red sauce i will be ordering it again and my old man had spaghetti and chicken I can’t remember what either dish is called. we had the best time. we haven’t eaten at a 5 star restaurant before this was a 5 star for sure!

Chicken parm was extremely mid. Seafood pasta was pretty good. Cheese sticks possibly the best ive ever found. Hospitality was through the roof.

My wife and I visited here after doing a test drive at a car lot in Indianola. We shared a pizza – I believe it was the Dan’s special. Maybe it was the Joe’s Special. They have very good bruscheta. The drink menu was very tempting and constructed by a bartender who definitely knew her craft. The cannoli is homemade, and that certainly adds to the value. We received excellent, friendly and professional service. The restaurant was clean. The food was delicious and reasonably priced.

Had a nice family dinner Sunday night. Super knowledgeable and friendly waitress. She let us try the different sauces for comparison. We ended up with chicken parm, chicken carbonara and manicotti. Everyone enjoyed the meal. It was relaxing and educational!

Tried Spinach tortellini with both sauces and the cheese sticks and cannolis The service was phenomenal, very friendly very fast. Everything came very fresh I will most definitely be back for the spinach tortellini. It was great.

I haven’t been here in years! It’s still just as great as I remember! We sat in the main dining area the first time in 2021 and tonight we sat in a bar side booth. Service was impeccable both times. And, the food was again flawless. I had the Shrimp Amaggio tonight and it was absolutely delicious! I can see why this is a popular choice. We also had the Hungry Man and the steak was seasoned and cooked PERFECTLY! We finished with their seasonal maple bourbon streusel cheesecake. A perfect end to a perfect night! They even boxed everything up for us. I love the homey feel of the place. Obviously, they get a lot of regulars. For good reason! There are also gluten-free, dairy-free, and Vegan options for those concerned. 10/10.

Delicious Italian foods, both traditional and innovative. Went out to lunch and had the special of the day: chicken formation over fettuccine Alfredo! So tasty! Came with side salad and warm sourdough bread. Generous portions, had to take 1/2 home. Prices are reasonable.

I have had the privilege of working with Michelle and the rest of the incredible team at Baratta’s for many years now through the events industry (typically as a caterer). When I say your experience with Baratta’s is exceptional, I truly mean it. They consistently go above and beyond for every client.

Specifically for weddings, they truly understand how important this day is for you and your family and always step in to help wherever they can with outstanding hospitality, class, and professionalism. I have never had a negative experience with them in the last five years. So, so recommend!

Been here many times over the years. I always know we’ll have something delicious and great service. My wife loves the Amaggio chicken, she orders it more times than not. Portions are fair size but I’m sure they are trying to keep costs down. My chicken parmesan was very good but the portion is a little small in my opinion. I’ve always recommended this place to others and we’ll keep coming back.
