   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.

   Food amazing, service perfect and like you are in a home in Italy. Charming, warm, festive location . Could not have been better! From Donatella’s warm greeting to her parting holiday wishes for all, by far the best dining experience in recent memory. Can’t wait to go back! Faci to start is a must! !

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

    I went with my picky eater 13 year old son. Even he was impressed and tried a variety of new things! Phenomenal experience! Valet parking available, kind staff with great knowledge and feedback about the menu, and the food was amazing! From the appetizers (we tried the mozzarella fritta and arancini) to the salad (octopus salad aka polipo, patate e arugula) to the entrees (sole special for me and lasagna for my son) to the desserts (cannoli and tronco) to the homemade limoncello… Delicious! Such a treat all around! We will be back!
