Good for special occasions

Barbara is a lively Italian restaurant inspired by the rustic tradition of Roman pizzerie, opening in San Francisco’s historic Italian district of North Beach in September 2018 to serve as the neighborhood destination for casual dinning. We feature an energetic open kitchen, creating fresh takes on classics as well as original inventions showcasing seasonal and local ingredients, transporting taste of the eternal city to San Francisco. We offer craft cocktails, Italian and Californian wines, indoor and outdoor seating, and Barbara's fun, warm, style pairs well with the restaurant’s classic Italian comfort and friendly spirit.

This place is great for single guests, couples, or groups; the staff were very accommodating and attentive. I ordered Spaghetti Vongole and a glass of Prosecco, which was perfect before going to a show at the Lost Church, just a few blocks away!

Nice place. Friendly with warm welcome. Pasta with seafood was good, pizza just too doughy for me. Nice Merlot. Best part! Very quiet compared to some nearby.

Food was good. Felt a bit rushed to order which i didn’t like. My friends were mid way through their last bite, and they took his plate immediately (rushed). Overall, felt rushed and didn’t feel personal
