10/10 Best Italian restaurant in town!!

Fantastic food and good service. Seating is a bit tight and, when full, loud enough that you need to work at being heard and hearing during a conversation. Not a fan of paying $4 per refill on ice tea—a small thing but irritating.

Yummy 😋
I finally went here! It was very good. Good wine, good people, good food.
The food was great and the server was spectacular. I would definitely do a repeat.

Went to Baroncini on a first date and Miranda our waitress came in clutch! She recommend the wine and appetizers, made my date happy, and had the best positive vibes. The food was great, but I’ll be back for more as long as all the staff is just like her! Great experience, great waitress.

Miranda was our waitress and she enhanced our experience like no other! Of course the food was good, but she made it all that much better with her bubbly personality and great suggestions!!

Amazing food every time I go. I've never ordered anything there that I haven't absolutely loved

The wait staff was great, and the highlight of our visit to Baroncino’s.
However, the seating for our six person party was cramped, at best, and my wife’s and my food orders were tasteless, tough, or both. The ‘flown in fresh today’ seafood was overcooked and rubbery.

Got take out.....expensive and not very good. The burrata was sub par and whatever dressing they used was bitter. The spagetti and meatballs...the meatballs were gritty and not good and the noodles were clumped up. Also...the sauce was not good

I visited here for the first time recently and Kufre made sure our entire night was perfect. The absolute best!

Rude hostess answering the phone
Let me cut to the chase: the service at Baroncini is not particularly fast.
Under normal circumstances, this would not be an issue. Unfortunately, Baroncini holds the distinction of being the only restaurant I've ever visited that reminded our table not once, but twice, that the next reservation had arrived (implying we need to wrap it up).
We were somewhat braced for this when calling to make a reservation and being advised, in an offhand kind of way, that we'd have a whole 90 minutes to eat. And it was maybe a little off-putting, but not terribly egregious, to be told around the 85-minute mark that the next reservation was in. To be reminded again at approximately 95 minutes was a bit too much for a restaurant that, while good, is not so outstanding this type of service can be overlooked.
As mentioned above, the food and drinks don't come out terribly fast. That doesn't really bother me. When they do come out, they're the appropriate temperature and the flavor is good. Not spectacular, but pretty good. So, either speed up your kitchen and bar staff, or give us a reasonable time to eat.
We'll be taking a break from Baroncini for the foreseeable future.

Such an incredible lunch with wonderful service and recommendations from Mac. We had the lunch specials with minestrone souo and breaded cod panini and the mixed green salad with Gorgonzola gnocchi. A delicious Aperol spritz and for dessert a double espresso and a Darjeeling tea with chocolate cake that was a perfect pairing. We can’t wait to go back. Delightful space for a luxurious meal and conversation.
