Barolo East

Table by the door was cold. But so nice to go to a neighborhood restaurant again

By far our favorite place to dine! Great food and terrific atmosphere

I read about Barolo East online, and it sounded so wonderful! So three of us went for dinner on 2/15/21 and I asked for Gustavo because so many people mentioned him by name as a great server. The Maitre D, Benny, brought us to a nice table and brought Gustavo over to meet us! The service was lovely, the food and wine were delicious, there were COVID separations between the tables, the bread with the tomato & oil were yummy together, the white tablecloth is always a touch of class, and Gustavo brought us complimentary Limoncello at the end of our meal! Since I was having medical appointments/surgery the next few days, this was the best celebration to enjoy beforehand! Thank you for your warm welcome and caring attentiveness!

Warm, inviting and delicious , excellent wine list, terrific service. Highly recommend

Great food and service as always. Though seating was a little tight on Saturday night which was probably a function of the warmer weather.

Great outdoor dining experience!! Back patio was very warm and felt comfortable on a very cold night in NYC! Will definitely be back again

I met a friend on a cold day for lunch and had a wonderful experience at Barolo. Their garden was well heated, the food was delicious and the service was perfect. I will be back.

Excellent pasta and service!

The backyard semi-enclosed garden is lovely, BUT the music was louder than necessary.
I requested it be lowered, and it was!
The food is EXCELLENT and a wonderful dining treat.

We had a very pleasant New Years Eve dinner. Service and food were great.

Excellent service. I'll go again. Food was so delicious and it has heats.

Outstanding food and service, as per usual. This will be our new date night spot.

Barolo East has it all. Highest quality cuisine, interesting daily specials, pleasant ambience even outdoors in a heated garden, and perfect service from engaging servers.

Our family of 5 enjoyed every part of our dinner at Barolo. The garden was warm but still had good ventilation and plastic partitions between tables. Food was amazing and the service was excellent. Can't wait to go back.

One of my favorite restaurant !

Service is so friendly and professional, food is wonderful, specials of the day are always great!

Wonderful! Everything! Food, service, wine! Absolutely wonderful!

Very good selection of wine. The food was also good, including a wide variety of specials. Nice spot for business lunch or dinner date.

not the best Italian food in New York City, but what really upset me at the restaurant was the service: the server, who did not know almost anything about Italian food was so arrogant for no reason...I asked a few questions and his answers were:" that is just the way it is" ..really? he should have just said, "I don't know the answer, let me find out for you". During the meal, we got a bottle of Barolo wine and at that point, I guess he decided he liked us ( classic server who thinks with his wallet..big check nice service, small check ...who cares). At the end, I told him I wanted to think about maybe having a whiskey...he told me I had to decide right away cuz the restaurant was closing at 10 o clock because of the new Covid regulations, but it was only 9.25 pm, I told him I knew the rules and there was plenty of time...he asked where I lived!!! I said I live here in the city on the upper east side...I guess he just wanted to find out whether I was just a tourist ( so he could add a tip on my check ) or a local...I cannot stand these servers: they don't care about good service and great customer experience which is the reason why I usually go to a restaurant. I ended up asking for the check because I really wanted to get out of there at that point since the server ( a young Albanian dude) upset me so much during my dinner: I still tipped 18% ( I usually tip 25 to 30% when service is good) out of respect of the busboy and runner who clearly share tips with this moron. Hope this review helps you decide where to dine Italian cuisine in NYC.

Beautiful secluded back garden, good service and food

The staff was so kind and the food was AMAZING - Definitely will go back.

The special halibut was outstanding! I cannot wait to dine here again.

Warm and welcoming staff - excellent COVID precautions with outdoor seating front and back. Delicious food - a terrific night out - will definitely be back !

Excellent food and service, and ideal for dinning during the pandemic. and after.

Our waiter was amazing. The whole staff was great. Food was delicious!

Great food and service. The outdoor, semi-enclosed garden seating was really nice. Highly recommend.

Good outdoor seating, great food, wine list and service...a midtown gem that feels like a little escape to Italy

Outstanding service from everyone. The manager went out of his way to make us feel at home and seat us where we wanted.

The food is excellent, the waiters seemed rushed and a bit confused, but we are certainly going back. The "outside" garden is pretty enclosed, actually, and every table was taken. Inside the restaurant, only two tables were occupied. Might be safer inside. Next time.

The wait staff is so personable, the food is great, and the ambiance is lovely. One of our favorite places!

Barolo East is a very nice place for a good quality, comfortable meal out on the town. We ate on the back terrace in 60 degree weather under heat lamps. The place was well set up to minimize covid risk while maintaining as much of the room's openness and character. The food was very good, although I personally thought a bit more seasoning. Service was very good. Recommend for any time you want to try something new at a reasonable price point and not be too overly fussy about every detail.

Wonderful experience. Food was delicious! Staff was very attentive. They have a nice covered back patio too which is rare in nyc! Can’t wait to go back.

Had dinner twice here. Excellent experience both times. Food exceptional and service is both friendly and courteous. Lovely outside dining table arrangements social distance considerations

Love it everytime. Great service, food and atmosphere!

Great service and food!

The food was amazing! The ambiance was perfect. Definitely will come back!

Little bit long wait for food !
Maybe weekend is more busy and not enough staff

Excellent authentic Italian

Everything was really good. Service, staff, food. The courtyard is really nice but it is a pity, it is Covid times and the separators made it look like a greenhouse. Plus the space was a bit cramped.

Everything was great. This is my new go to restaurant!
