Great food in a sketchy area. Between people yelling at me out of cars, aggressive barking dogs, and semi trucks blowing through stop signs, I didn’t feel particularly safe.
However, the pasta at Barrio is incredible. The vodka rigatoni with ground sausage was absolutely perfect and adding burrata only made it more so. You get a ton of burrata for the $5 add-on price and it was probably the best I’ve ever tasted. The pesto pasta was okay, I’m not the biggest pesto fan and it tasted like a mouthful of grass to me. The bread appetizer wasn’t worth it, the bread wasn’t warm and didn’t appear to be freshly baked.

My wife and I celebrated our 22nd wedding anniversary at Barrio in City Terrace last night, and it was nothing short of amazing! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, setting the perfect mood for a special evening.
The food was absolutely incredible—each dish was crafted with care, full of rich flavors, and beautifully presented. Every bite was a delight, and you could truly taste the passion behind the cooking.
The service was outstanding—attentive, friendly, and made us feel like valued guests. The staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable experience.
We will definitely be back and highly recommend Barrio to anyone looking for top-notch Italian cuisine in a cozy, welcoming setting. Thank you for making our anniversary so special!

I feel like this spot has changed and not for the better. They didn't even seem to know about the fish I used to order every time that was a consistent on the menu

Great portion size and cleanliness

The short rib was delightful — the spicy olive oil was a great addition. Nice ambiance, a great addition for the area. You can bring your own wine or enjoy a non-alcoholic refreshment.

Incredible atmosphere, excellent service. We sat at the window bar looking out into the street and it felt so inviting and wholesome. An experience I feel is rare among LA restaurants. The caprese was amazing, deliciously simple and decadent, and with the pesto on top . I had the mushroom carbonara and my wife had the caccio e pepe, both of which I can reccomend wholeheartedly. Also on thursdays there's a farmers market right across the street. Had a great time and we're excited to go back and try more of their menu. Shoutout to our waiter what a chiller.
Finally got the chance to try, I was so excited since the barrio does so much for the community but I don't l ow if it was just me or if they were alittle off bit the shrimp scampi had way to much lemon to the point where it wasn't very easy to stomach, but that may just be me and my family. Don't recommend for those with stomach sensitivity.

I had heard about Barrio from "Good Food" on KCRW, but was slow to try it (we live in neighboring Boyle Heights). The food was terrific; we had the pasta al limone, caeser salad, and the di Spessore Spaghetto al Pesto. All in all, wonderful. Good price point for the food, too. Make the trip to City Terrace and get a bottle of wine from Abe's Market across the street to go with dinner.

It was nice to find something new and different from our usual spots in this neighborhood. Perfect for pre show at the Lucian Fine Arts Theatre. A very helpful and friendly staff and pretty good food.
