Assez bon mais un peu cher pour les portions & la complexité des plats.

When we got to the restaurant, the person who brought us to our table was not very communicative when trying to talk to them; Which made it feel awkward. I was very disappointed with the food (Ravioli was still hard, the Focaccia appetizer was very basic & underwhelming, & the scallop Crudo was poorly plated & not worth the price!). Those were just some of the more disappointing meal factors. After being disappointed we wanted to finish the night with a good coffee, but was also disappointed because the coffee was cold. Unfortunately the only way I would recommend this restaurant is if there would be overall improvements in food execution & portion size, prices & service efficiency.

Birbante was just okay overall. Nothing particularly stood out, & the portions were quite small for the price. The lamb skewers, in particular, were very small & felt underwhelming. The food was fine, but the experience didn't quite live up to expectations.

Impeccable service & food. The owners of panzeria have outdone themselves once again. 10/10 experience. Good food, good vibes, good environment.

Magnifique expérience au restaurant Birbante pour mon anniversaire! Merci surtout à Matteo, notre serveur incroyable, qui s'est extrêmement bien occupé de nous :)

we slipped into this deliciously 70s-Milan-kissed Italian hideaway, where mischief is written right into the menu & charm is served by the plateful.

Everything tasted unmistakably homemade-like stepping into Nonna's house on a slow, sunny Sunday. We almost hate that we loved it so much 😅

We began with a crisp endive salad dotted with almonds, a simple pleasure done perfectly. Then came the Tagliatelle, tangled lovingly with veal & olives in a very balanced sauce Nonna couldn't have made better herself. The haddock, dressed generously in pesto, was a quiet show-stopper. & the lava cake smelled like it came straight out of my mom's oven-warm, familiar, & impossible to resist.

The décor plays just as big a role in the experience: Campari bottles stacked from floor to ceiling, orange banquettes straight out of a stylish 70s film set, marble touches, & soft vintage round lights that make everyone look like they're part of the celebration. It's the perfect spot for a date (bring someone who deserves it) or an intimate gathering of close friends-& yes, sharing plates is encouraged.

Let's start by saying I hated it!!! BECAUSE I know I'll be dreaming about every dish for as long as my ADHD allows. We had three courses & dessert, each with an Italian name I won't attempt to butcher, so bear with me. There is Campari everywhere. Not super important but I was like wow.

Ok what was eaten:
Endive Salad: Perfectly balanced flavors with a kick of tangy vinaigrette. Simple, fresh, & so well done.
Pasta with Veal Meatballs: This one. The smellllllll of the tomato sauce instantly transported us to our grandmothers' houses on a Sunday afternoon. Full-blown nostalgia moment & obviously absolutely delicious.
Fish with Pesto: PERFECTION. Nothing more to say.
Molten Lava Cake: 10/10. Paired with some raspberry goodness. DID NOT disappointment, pure joy.

In short, every plate was simple yet layered with thoughtful, intentional flavors. Nothing felt overlooked. You can see into the kitchen if you get close enough, I always like that.

I genuinely think this is the perfect spot for a small group of friends who like sharing dishes…you get to try more of their fantastic menu. It's very open. Looks like they could accommodate a giant group comfortably.
