Review Summary

BarBara is widely celebrated as a charming neighborhood gem that offers a warm, stylish atmosphere and a delightful terrace perfect for any occasion. The menu, particularly the focaccia with ricotta and honey, fresh pasta, and creative seasonal dishes, consistently impresses diners with its quality and fresh, balanced flavors. While the lack of a reservation system can lead to significant wait times during peak hours, many guests find that the friendly service, extensive wine selection, and overall vibrant experience make the visit well worth the patience. Although some visitors note that the space can become quite loud and mention that portion sizes feel modest for the price, the majority of patrons are eager to return for the consistently lovely environment and exceptional hospitality.

The non alcoholic amaretto sour is amaaaazing! Great focaccia, cacio e Pepe is okay. I really liked their meatballs. Service was also great.

Though I wouldn't expect a wine bar to distinguish itself by the coffee they serve, I would have expected something better than what I got. I ordered an Americano & what arrived tasted burnt, as if the coffee machines had not been cleaned in a while.

Unfortunately, we were really disappointed with our experience here. The service was poor, & our waiter came across as rude & unwelcoming. We felt uncomfortable with the way we were spoken to & treated throughout our visit. Good service can make such a difference when dining out, & unfortunately, this experience really fell short of what we expected. We left feeling disappointed & would not return based on the service we received.

Overrated restaurant. No English menu. The food was OK but not worth a 70-minute wait. The drinks are meh. Also, they don't really stick to the order of arrival.

The food quality has decreased significantly & is no longer worth the price. It's also very loud inside & you need to scream at each other to have a conversation.

Bel endroit dans un beau quartier, ce resto est bien populaire & offre un service courtois. Ils nous font attendre sur la terrasse de côté au lieu de debout & nous proposent d'y prendre la bière. À savoir que les portions ne sont pas très grandes, mais bonnes! Ils vérifient le radar météo & nous ont proposé de rester & passer la pluie ou de prendre un doggybag comme il n'y a pas de toit sur la terrasse & le restaurant intérieur était plein.

Excellente soirée. Belle vibe, excellent service malgré l'attente. Sur 2h d'attente prévue, nous avons finalement attendu à peine une heure. Ca valait maxi le temps. On peut profiter de l'apéro sur le côté en attendant. Plats savoureux. Petites portions qui se partagent bien a 3. A distance a pied du métro. Excellente présentation .Mon amie était enjouée & comblée en plus d'avoir pu voir de proche'Joey' Scarpellino! Une belle soirée.

Lost count of the amount of times we came, wine list isn't excellent by any means for real enthusiasts but we always find ourselves back for the food & cozy atmosphere.
