    The atmosphere at Barolo is pleasant, and the food we ordered was very good—flavorful and well prepared. However, a few aspects of our experience detracted from the overall visit: 1.There’s no dessert menu. Instead, a small brownie is brought to the table at the end of the meal, unrequested. While it’s presented as a complimentary treat, we were surprised to find a 3.5% surcharge on the bill, which felt misleading. 2.The booth we were seated in was not clean. There were visible bits of food and grease on the surfaces, and the plastic chairs also looked dirty. This made us feel quite uncomfortable. 3.We overheard what seemed to be a lead server speaking harshly to other staff members, which affected the atmosphere and left a poor impression. Despite the quality of the food, the rest of the experience left much to be desired. With more attention to cleanliness, transparency, and team dynamics, this place could truly shine.

    Some choices were good others not. Wine selection is very nice. Spaghetti Vongole was not great, too much oil, crumbs on top not necessary. Bland flavor.
