Amazing authentic Italian restaurant. Best Campari & aperol spritz we've had in years. Excellent lunch menu. Go.View more
I was excited to try this restaurant as a fan of La Panzeria, but I was really disappointed. I won't be returning. The food is decent, but nothing special. La Panzeria has a unique & original concept, with a small menu where everything is delicious. In comparison, Bribante has a ton of Italian restaurants competing, & I think it's just okay. The prices are exorbitant for the dishes; for example, the saffron risotto at $32 is really just an appetizer portion in my opinion. The service was excellent.View more
Outstanding place, easily the best Italian restaurant in the city!View more
A VERY good option if you are feeling like getting some real italian food, the risotto alla milanese is incredible, the arrosticini along with the the endive salad were the perfect entree for it & balanced out the complete meal. If you don't know that much about italian food I would definitely search up some of the dishes so that you can make the right choices because it worked great for me.View more
I have been to many restaurants & yet there is something special about Birbante. The atmosphere is very cozy topped with great music which gives the place a beautiful Italian vibe. The owners are very welcoming & greet you with open arms. The staff works very hard as they are very quick & efficient. The food & drinks are exquisite. I went with a few friends the second time & they all loved it as well. I will definitely be going back to Birbante for the food & overall vibe.View more
