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!

From start to finish, the service was stellar. Everyone had warm smiles and welcomed us in. Food was incredible. We sat at the bar and witnessed all the food being prepared. We got the papperadelle and red snapper special. DELICIOUS! The team is hard working. Great local place to support.

Excellent meal! I came on a Tuesday night for a solo meal and was treated so so well. The server gave me several excellent selections including a citrus salad I probably wouldn’t have otherwise tried. I also had the squash ravioli and papardelle, everything was perfectly cooked and flavorful.
The ambiance was very nice and comfortable, neither too formal nor too fasual. Very surprised the restaurant wasn’t more busy, but definitely take advantage of that before everyone finds out it’s so delicious.

Truly one of the best meals of my life. The food was absolutely perfect. Don’t miss the bagna cauda….warm garlic anchovy olive oil bath that you’ll want to drink out of the ramekin. The 40 yolk pasta was so good we ordered two more! And we ordered another ravioli because it blew us away. The steak and branzino nearly made me pass out because they were so goddamn delicious. Honestly I haven’t had a meal this good in years. The service was excellent also. These guys know what they’re doing, please eat here, it’s incredible!!!

Fabulous. Well priced. Bargain for everything you get. The host, who is also the owner I believe, was tremendous. We brought two bottles of wine and he completely understood the importance of these wines for the evening. There was eight of us and we kind of allowed the Staff to guide us on how much food and what to order and they did a fantastic job of not overselling, but making sure that we had plenty of food. They gave us stemware for each of the different bottles of wine, including the bottle that we initially ordered. They changed our plates for each Round of food. They were super attentive without Lingering around us. I wish I lived in the city so I could come back more often. Highly recommend. The only Negative, and even if this is a negative, would be That the place is loud. Which doesn’t bother me, but it was hard to hear conversation from one end of the table to the other end. If you’re thinking about this place, don’t think any further just go. You’ll be happy.

Second visit. The pasta dish was outstanding, but the fish (snapper), which we ordered for 3 diners, was tiny (menu said it would feed 2-4 people, hardly), not very fresh and uninteresting. Definitely not worth the $57 price tag. Desserts were good, but all the options were pudding like, so not much variety. I seem to remember from previous visit that portions, and wine pourings, were more generous.

The food is very good here as long as you are not trying something that seems experimental.
Service is okay if your waitress isn’t serving that many tables at the same time.
Reservation recommended!

Barberio Osteria is a solid Italian restaurant on the Valencia corridor– I enjoyed a relaxing meal sitting by the window overlooking the bypassers on Valencia. The Heirloom tomato salad was an excellent starter-ripe tomatoes and delicious dressing. We ordered two pastas recommended by the server– both were good but not great. The server was attentive and friendly

This place was absolutely fantastic. Dishes were executed perfectly, had great flavors, varied textures, and looked stunning on the plate. If you’re looking for some high end Italian fare, this cannot be missed.
