    This was my first time at the midtown east side location and celebrating a friend’s birthday. I was hoping it was as good as the original. Unfortunately it was a big disappointment. We ordered drinks and it took quite some time to get them, even though the place was not crowded. The ambiance was warm and intimate, and the staff were friendly and accommodating, service was very good. For the food, the best was the appetizer of grilled calamari. It was excellent but both main courses were very disappointing. I had the special striped bass which was overcooked, dried out and drowning in tomato sauce over what looked and tasted like canned spinache. My companion had the homemade pappardelle with chicken and roasted peppers which was bland and tasteless. I won’t be returning any time soon.

    Wonderful experience. The maitre’d and his staff are super responsive and welcoming to all. This was an anniversary and they held a special table for us even though we were running late.

    We had a wonderful dinner here. Food was amazing! From the bread & dip to the fried Calamari to the main course, all *chefs kiss* My husband had pasta with clams and I had the pasta with chicken & red peppers. Very tasty!! The service was excellent!! The restaurant is located in Midtown East. It was small, cozy & beautifully decorated. It was packed on a Wednesday night so it was very loud. Other than the noise level, it was an amazing experience . Highly recommend & hope to return again when I’m back in NYC

    Great food at Barolo East. Nice restaurant that is small-ish so it feels a little more intimate in the hustle and bustle of NYC. Has a terrace in the back for outdoor dining. Great for a group meal or romantic dinner.

    Physically, the restaurant is lovely. They also have a very picturesque, air-conditioned, outdoor space. The service was also very very good. Regarding the food, here’s the positive: The bread and fabulous bruschetta type dip that is brought to the table is simply phenomenal. My friend and I could’ve made dinner out of just that. And the desserts we both had were terrific. I got the chocolate soufflé which was fabulous! My friend got the lemon, I believe it was a tart, dessert which she liked very much. It was my friend’s birthday and the restaurant was very accommodating by putting a candle in her dessert and singing happy birthday. And now for the negative. Both my appetizer and main were very salty. I asked the waiter to please request no added salt to the dish. For appetizer, I got the sautéed shrimp which I found unpleasantly salty. For the main, I got veal scallopini with mozzarella which I found very very salty so much so that I really couldn’t eat it. I did take it back home, hoping that I can camouflage all the salt was perhaps some yogurt. I have not yet tried that. I would go back because of the phenomenal bread/dip plus the terrific desserts but I would be very careful to try and order perhaps the salmon or perhaps a pasta dish and hope and pray it is not salty. But if I do go back, next time I would send the salty dish back to the kitchen. A dish being too salty should never happen in my opinion. So much better to under salt than to over salt Obviously nothing can be done about oversalted food other than to send it back to the kitchen.
