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

I recently dined at Birbante & was thoroughly impressed. The professional service created a comfortable & intimate atmosphere, ideal for a date night. The music selection was outstanding, & I appreciated that their playlist is available for download on their website. The drinks stood out with their authentic, natural flavors, perfectly complementing the meal. The food was absolutely delicious, with expertly balanced spices enhancing each dish. Highly recommend for anyone seeking an exceptional Italian dining experience!View more
La nourriture est bonne, les aliments sont frais. L'entrecôte très bonne aussi. Nous avons trouvé les quantités toutefois très réduites pour le prix (focaccia & bruschetta surtout). Mais bon, c'est une constante maintenant dans la plupart des restaurants de cette catégorie... Burrata excellente, l'agneau beaucoup moins (nos brochettes étaient assez chewy). Aussi, aucun choix de vins lors de notre venue. Personnel sympathique toutefois. Nous recommandons le Moccione pour une expérience italienne, certes un peu plus chère, mais hautement plus intéressante.View more

To the reviewer that wrote: "A new restaurant with no vegetarian main options is definitely not of its time. The food was very overpriced for what it was." Do I go to Vegan restaurants & complain there is no non vegan options? Honestly, that is the most atrocious evident lack of human common sense. Now that being said, well done to this restaurant & it's beyond fabulous vibes, food to die for & nostalgia in spades!View more
