Food was decent but horrible rude service ! Eat all the time in north beach and was embarrassed in front of colleagues who I took there by the service - rude and snotty
Nice place. Friendly with warm welcome. Pasta with seafood was good, pizza just too doughy for me. Nice Merlot. Best part! Very quiet compared to some nearby.
Food was good. Felt a bit rushed to order which i didn't like. My friends were mid way through their last bite, and they took his plate immediately (rushed). Overall, felt rushed and didn't feel personal
Barbara is THE spot. A must go for groups, it's a vibe. Get some food, get some drinks. Enjoy it.
We had a large group for a friends birthday and the staff was on top of it with drinks and food coming out!
We were seated at 7:40 p.m. despite having a 7 p.m. reservation. The pasta was overcooked, and the pasta sauce was cold and dry. To make matters worse, the music was so loud that I couldn't even hear the person sitting next to me.
Food was fine, actually better the second day. I ordered the burrata and pesto pinsa. It got cold by the time I ate two pieces, probably because the door was open (hooray for airflow?). Might be better to serve it on a plate that holds heat better? The congealed cheese was not great. Mocktail options were just regular cocktails with the alcohol omitted, so I didn't order one. Get some NA alcohol, it will help. The noise level was intolerable. Would consider getting takeout, would not consider eating here in person again.
Hate to reveal this BUT the pizza crust was unbelievably wonderful crisp and chewy ! All pastas (4 ordered ) cwere outstanding !
I ordered a Pinsa with Buffalo Mozzarellaand Pesto was tasty, Fettuccini Pasta was also very tasty. Thank you

Sad to leave this review but this place is unfortunately a great example of shrinkflation. We used to come here a ton living in the neighborhood, and the beef tortellini was generous enough that I wouldn’t be able to finish it. We really appreciated the portion size for the price, and it made this place stand out to us among the many other choices in the neighborhood. After not having visited here for a few months, I was shocked when dining here this weekend and being served a plate of 7 tortellinis - still delicious, but what happened!?
The food and service is always good. The background music was a bit loud throughout dinner. The time when it was loud and should have been loud was when we celebrated a birthday which was really fun. In general the music could be brought down a touch
Great cocktails

Food was acceptable but the tip was on the bill which is the rudest thing I've ever seen! Also, it was like 35°C inside.
