Finally got to try this restaurant & it definitely surpassed our expectations. Fresh, high quality ingredients & bold, memorable flavours in every dish. It's a cozy, warm Italian vibe but at the same time feels elevated & worth your money, very far from a simple plate of pasta you can just make at home. We didn't get to try the cocktails or dessert but we will be back! I've already recommended this place to friends & family.

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.

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!

Birbante is now on our list of favourites in the city after one meal. The service was excellent, the food was incredible, we really enjoyed our drinks, & we found it to be well priced for the food quantity & quality. The vibe of the place was super cute as well. We're already recommending it to friends & can't wait to be back!
