Review Summary

BarBara is described as a cozy spot with a strong wine list where the focaccia, burrata, fresh pasta, and a varied Italian menu continually delight groups and date nights, with the ricotta honey focaccia and cacio e pepe repeatedly praised alongside dishes like arancini and bucatini; the ambiance on the terrace or inside is consistently welcoming and stylish, and cocktails and wine are often highlighted as excellent complements to the food, but several reviews flag small portions for the price, occasional slow or crowded service, and loudness at peak times or on the terrace; overall the place is seen as a beloved neighborhood spot for flavorful food, good value wine, and a lively convivial mood, with the experience varying depending on timing and pace.

I've been there to breakfast twice now. A really good experience across the board. Food is always fresh & tasty. You can tell they make everything by hand the flavours are simple yet efficient & seasoned enough! The waiters were kind, caring & funny. They have a wide selection of wines. Their chai latte is spot on! Food is always fresh & the placenis really clean! It was a little cold in there today, must admit it's minus 15 outside. Definitely drop by for a nice simple unpretentious but elevated breakfast

I have been to BarBara a few times & the food is always as good, fresh & tasty! The staff is very friendly, the ambiance of the place is cozy & lovely. What I also like is that's it doubles as a café during the day so you can also drop by for a quick coffee or matcha break. A bit of a side note, but their matcha lattes hot or iced are very well prepared & taste very good. I always like to bring my friends here, the price is very reasonable & some side dishes can definitely be shared. I would say some of my favorite items are the arancini, the burrata & the cacio e pepe. They have a good wine & alcohol selection as well. Just a few things to consider is that they do not take reservations so you have to be there early on typical weekend evenings because you might have to wait for a little while. However, you can always order a drink or a side dish while you wait. That being said, I would recommend you to try this place!

When you can get a spot at BarBara you'll definitely have a night to remember. No matter what you order you can't miss: the gnocchi is incredible, the fries are covered in parmesan (never a bad thing for us) & don't even get us started on the focaccia. The wine selection is incredible. To have a spot with such a wide inventory that is constantly changing is incredible. The service is a bit slow but like we said they are always really busy. Great wine bar with fantastic Italian food in the Sud-Ouest
