I wanted to recommend this place but couldn't. No parking other than Valet and on such a busy road, it's pretty dangerous tbh. This restaurant is designed for ultimate billing with their small plates that wouldn't even keep one person full but has the price of an entree. The service is amazing and the ambiance is great, although a very small place. Has a Tulum resort vibe inside. Pasta is great, but again, very small and you have to order multiple plates to get full. Ordered the dry-aged steak and it has no seasoning at all and it was covered in equally disappointing mushroom sauce. I will not be going here again. Sorry guys.

First time at Bari and loved it! Excellent drinks and food. Only bummer is they ran out of a couple popular dishes by 8:30, so next time I’d go earlier to avoid that.

Delicious food, beautiful space and great service. But the music on a Friday night was, preferences aside, just too loud. Would be back but on a quieter night.

Terrible service. Didnt get seated until 45 min after reservation. No apologies made. Took 25 minutes to get our drinks. Overall horrendous service. Even the valet guy was socializing and it took forever. Will not be returning

Bari restaurant is located on 3rd in LA, very convenient location with valet parking for $16 right at the front door. The restaurant seemed to taut their outdoor seating which is where we were seated, but, there only 4 tables against the front of the building with no heat lamps or lighting. LOL. Anyway, all of the appetizers were delicious as were the "entrees" which really are small plates. If you are on a diet, go to Bari. I ordered a pasta dish for $22 and it was the size of a small saucer, probably 12 pieces of pasta. :) The service was prompt. We would return when we are on a strict diet.

Despite us having a reservation, there wasn’t a table available. We agreed to eat outside but then it started raining so we left. We’ve been before and loved the food but the vibe was too clubby this time.

Pretty bad service it was kind of bizarre - place was empty but waiter didn’t check in for over an hour after dropping dessert and it was impossible to get a check. Food was good not great. Very pretty interior though. Probably wouldn’t go back after the service experience.

Solid option but not a first choice. Service was okay at best. Maybe our waiter was overwhelmed but from other reviews it seems being ignored by your waiter is normal. The food was well prepared. We ordered the octopus and potatoes, rigatoni, sea bass, and rice balls.

The menu is not extensive lile some Italian places but what they have is delicious. Presentation on the plates is a bit primitive (more plated than presented) but taste makes up for it. Arancini was just perfectly crisp on outside and rice filling was al dente and creamy inside. Squash blossoms were likewise with ricotta well blended and smooth not curdy like most of these elsewhere. No tomato sauce with the blossoms kept them from getting soggy too and portion and size of blossoms was ample. Cacio pepe was made with fresh pasta well balanced with pepper and parmesan and not salty or over creamy/cheesy, just right. Sea bass had perfect crisp and well seasoned and herbal, paired well with tender but firm baked eggplant. Crispy potatoes were hot as hell when they came out (Good thing) and also crispy and nutty. Drinks- white negroni was a revelation for those of us to the Campari version; orange flavor and sweetness were more subtle and flowery, one large ice cube kept it cold but not diluted. Service- kitchen was fast (maybe too fast) and runners were quick to bring food hot but servers were either sparse or neglectful. Drinks took 15 minutes at least while appetizers were arriving and consumed already (drinks come first people! And you'll sell more). The potatoes didn't arrive until we were basically done eating (probably not put in to kitchen with original order). The server was friendly and knowledgeable howevern for example, she picked right wine per my description of taste preference). So, either her timing was off (possibly due to bar tender or kitchen) or she couldn't manage as many tables as she had. Host and other several tried to help but it was a bit haphazard. She was kind (and right) to comp the potatoes without me asking so kudos for trying to make up for the relatively minor error. All in all we will return with friends and I'm hoping the food will remain consistent and service will get there too.

What a find! The food was fantastic. We shared the squash blossoms, cacio e pepe pasta, and lamb chops with zucchini, and everything was beautifully prepared and delicious. These are classic dishes I've had at other restaurants, including in Italy, and Bari's versions were perfection. The martinis were also excellent. The restaurant is pretty and service is great. We can't wait to go back.

A fly flew into my cocktail and it was undrinkable, wanted to flag our server down for a replacement but he never came to check in on our drinks or how our food was after we ordered from him. He never made himself readily available and seemed to purposely avoid our table while pouring and opening multiple bottles of wine for other tables close by.
