Came here looking for a bite to eat after a haircut and hands down best fresh pasta I’ve eaten!! The sauce of my truffle Alfredo was so creamy and rich yet not too rich that it couldn’t be finished. The waiter gave me a good white wine recommendation as well a little sweet and dry to match the pasta. My Caesar was fresh and well prepared. The bread was to die for!! It was light and airy and wished I asked where or how that made it. Although the server was nice they didn’t check on me often that I was left without a drink most of the time, but other than that this place is amazing!! I wonder why it was so slow this place needs more people in it!

The food is decent. They don't take reservations online and were not aware of how to take care of customers with food allergies.

Baretto Bistro didn’t impress during our recent lunch outing. Despite its friendly and efficient service, the dining experience fell short. The meatball sandwich wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t impressive either - just kinda bland. The Niçoise salad was over-dressed, with tuna lacking the traditional sear, which wasn’t a surprise because our waiter said it was preserved in oil, but mentioning here because Niçoise in my opinion is infinitely better seared. The artichoke dip's soupy consistency was disappointing, although the flavor was fine.The vibe was pleasant, despite the strip mall-ish location - they’ve done a good job creating a friendly bistro atmosphere. Although the cocktail and wine list seemed promising, we refrained from indulging midday. Overall, Baretto Bistro wasn't the right fit for us, but might be worth another try at happy hour.

My new favorite place for dinner! I had short ribs and husband had pork tenderloin with cherry sauce. Both excellent with great vegetable choices and salad. Nice patio lighting and heating. Will be back soon for sure.

We were at a red light, hungry, and just decided we wanted an early dinner. I had the mussels frites and wish they’d given me a spoon because the sauce was outstanding. My partner had the chicken parm, his go-to. He said the chicken was nice and crispy. I tried his pasta and the sauce was tangy and delicious. Damage was about $70 as we had an appetizer too. I forget what they were called but they were little breads with brie, bacon, and a pickled fruit with basalmic vinegar. Also very good.

Great food, very nice service and we loved the neighborhood vibes of the place. The cocktails were tasty and we loved the salads. We split the NY strip steak on Valentines Day and it was delicious. Could see ourselves coming back to enjoy pizza and wine on the cozy patio (complete with a fireplace).

Phillip the bartender is excellent and friendly. The food is sensational. The wine selection is vast and the atmosphere is authentic. (I'm not sure if she's the owner or manager) but she's pleasant and hard working. This place is 5 stars for a reason--even the patrons are awesome--if you want to spice up a Saturday evening with friends, a date, or just to treat yourself, Italian...is on the menu.

Expensive, the food was decent but the quantity was not ideal for me (250 lbs man ) . If you are smaller it might be a better experience , staff was good !
Stopped in for a late lunch. Got the Niçoise salad and it was nice to see something different on the menu. Friendly staff. I would definitely give it a try for dinner sometime.
