Ambience was perfect and quite able to have good conversations with friends. The food was amazing! The Seabass on sautéed spinach was the best!! Huge portions I was stuffed but well worth it!

The service was great and all the staff were terrific. Unfortunately, the food was not great and disappointing for the price. I had the sole special. The sole came folded in two (why I don't know). When I unfolded the sole and began to eat, it tasted just OK but was rubbery and about half of it was inedible. Not sure if they tried to cook it frozen or what, but cooking sole myself, this was not how sole should be prepared. The only thing good about the dish was the spinach on which the sole sat. The clams and mussels were just OK. With a really great staff, they need someone in the kitchen who can deliver to expectations. I tasted my table-mates dishes and they were OK. I have eaten at il Barone in their several previous locations and enjoyed it immensely. This was just disappointing and I'm sorry.

Il Barone is my spot 😊 I went this time with a good friend of mine. It was her first time and she LOVED!!!!! She still talk about her dinner! I had Timballo (It was a special) OMG!!! To die for ♥️ My friend had the short ribs!! Amazing! She is coming back next week with her boyfriend for a date night she said. Thank you Donatella for such an amazing service. Also thank you Francesco for such an outstanding service as well. Highly recommended 😊

Tasty food and great service. The patio and even the inside dinning area are not inviting at all.
