    The food was outstanding! A quiet and quaint small Italian restaurant with great ambiance. A player piano plays very quietly and it was easy to converse with companions. The spaghetti sauce was the best I’ve ever tasted, shrimp scampi and chicken Alfredo were delicious. We all agreed to comeback next week and order a new dinner. Don’t miss out on this gem in Anoka!

    This is the 3rd year we have gone to Barzini’s for our anniversary. The food is always hot and delicious. The ambiance is perfect. Not fancy but cozy and we love the Godfather theme. The breadsticks melt in your mouth! Looking forward to next year!

    Valentines Dinner… We were hoping for a more upscale restaurant so perhaps our expectations were too high. Nice Italian-themed ambiance. A bit too dark though. Servers were friendly. To say the food was par is a stretch. Very basic flavors, nothing to wow a foodies taste buds. Overpriced for what you get. Plastic drink cups and elementary school flatware cheapens the experience. No bar here, just a few wine selections. Unfortunately, we would not recommend to those with a more distinguished palate.

    Decided to try this new Italian restaurant in Anoka for my birthday. I loved the authentic ambience and the service was great. The owner used to work at Billy's Bar and Grill. It was nice to see local people making another place to eat in Anoka.
