   Wowza, I ordered the petrale sole and it was fabulous! The fillets were grilled to perfection, on some fresh arugula, fennel, sprouts, peas, and cannellini beans topped with some watercress and lovely vinaigrette. Alejandro opened a fresh bottle of prosecco to get the meal started. I'm going back to order the pesce locale del giorno alla piastra again!

   Barbacco used to be great. It’s now super sad looking bland tasting food. So sad because it really used to be great. Everything we got seemed to be just scooped out of a bucket and shoved onto our plates and all kinda gravy-like. Might have sat there overnight.

   Great service and delicious food in a casual chic atmosphere. Came here with my husband and MIL and enjoyed every minute of our experience, from warmth of our hostess, promptness and friendliness of wait staff and the delicious food. Looking forward to coming back soon.

   The staff was friendly enough, however this restaurant is NOT vegetarian friendly. In fact is is vegetarian hostile, in that there are ZERO vegetarian selections on the menu and the chefs would not agree to prepare vegetarian versions of a dish. And what Italian restaurant doesn't serve bruschetta? This one. Also blaring music in the background was not helpful to the mood or ambiance, or ability to have a conversation. Additionally there were no napa or sonoma county wine labels (cabernet) on the wine list. wtf?

   The restaurant was super crowded and the service was lack luster. We booked a table and were seated at the counter bar, which made it hard for conversation. The food was alright, but not the greatest.

    Food was good not great. Very casual - more so than I realized. Perbacco is the better option and has a full bar. Easy to get the two confused.

    Humberto has applied the same genius to Barbacco as he has to Perbacco. It is clear that the long history of popularity enjoyed by Perbacco will be achieve by Barbacco.

    One of my favorites. Great for solo dining at the counter or for small groups. Not great for larger groups as it can get quite loud though their outdoor seating is quieter. Fabulous pasta and antipasto dishes as well as mains. Interesting wine list.

    Everything was great, however, I asked what size pours they were for the by the glass wine. Server said 6 oz. The glasses looked much smaller. My question was to decide whether to get a bottle or a glass each. Although the was very nice, the size of the pour didn't meet my expectations.

    Solid meal at Barbacco. Outdoor seating was very pleasant with heaters. Service was friendly, helpful and prompt. Portions are larger than I was expecting. Excellent pear & chicories salad with gorgonzola, fettuccine bolognese, pumpkin pasta, great apple crostata for dessert.

    Been coming here for years, and they still got it! Wonderful, low-pressure service - the waiter was an Italian Rock Star. The food was beautifully prepared, the wines were great (although I miss the big list of days gone by). Maybe the only thing is the close tables in the days when I don't want to sit next to others.

    Service and food was fine but nothing special. It was my daughter’s birthday, but no one mentioned it while we were dining. The beet salad was very good but more mandarin oranges than beets. Or table was near the door and kind of chilly.

    Been here many times over the years. Used to be better. Got the octopus which was a little hard and rubbery and the steak which was a little too rare for med rare. Pasta was nice. But if they upped their technique by just a bit it would be back to the glory days.

    Our server, Scott, helped facilitate a very nice meal after the maitre d' checked out vaccination cards and seated us in the back of the restaurant. We had the Burrata Cheese antipasti, the Roasted Pears salad, and the Farro mushroom pasta dish, all of which were very good. I had a glass of the Sauvignon Blanc which had the perfect dryness for a Chardonnay lover, and my guest had the Barbera d'Alba which had the perfect fruitiness and very pleasant nose for someone who doesn't often drink red wine. All in all a lovely meal with excellent service. We would definitely go back.

    Guy checking vaxx record insisted on seeing my ID. None of the other restaurants I’ve been to do not required IDs. My vaxx record was on my phone. I hosted/organized the dinner for 5 and I’ll never go back again. I’m an event planner so I’ll never recommend this restaurant. The food was terrible.
