    Starting with Service, the greeting and attention to detail was outstanding because my wife uses an electric wheelchair, and the found the most perfect seating. Food and Bobby and her waitstaff team were flawless. From the warm bread to begin, to the lemon meringue pastry and pressed decaf coffee at the end everything was relaxed, easygoing, and laser perfect.

    My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed a 3 course lunch. We ordered 2 small plates to share; the beef ravioli and the chicken dumplings. The ravioli was not what I expected, it was constructed more like a crepe. It was delicious. The dumplings were more traditional and were also delicious. Both small plate portions were very generous and even though we were sharing, we brought home leftovers. For our next course, we both ordered chicken curry. It was perfectly seasoned, not too hot and with lots of vegetables. We both loved it, however, were a little surprised that this portion was not as generous as the small plates. For dessert, we shared an apple tartin. The apples were beautifully caramelized and the pastry had a sweet surprise. The vanilla ice cream was the perfect accompaniment. We had a lovely meal in a beautiful room. We will definitely return again.

    Amazing food. Great ambience. Lovely decor. We had a group of 10 people enjoy all the amazing set menu. We had people who had never had Filipino food before absolutely enjoy everything the kitchen threw at us. We’re all coming back and exploring even more of the menu. From appetizers to dessert, it was amazing. The service was top notch. Highly recommend.

    The food was incredible! So unique but delicious. The menu is a tad overwhelming because it’s in Spanish and different ingredients so ask your server for advice. Molote was a huge hit, beets tostada, carne asada and must have the elote cake!

    Our first (date night) but surely not last incredible evening at Barolo Grill. The food and cocktails/mocktails were excellent (we each had the 4 course tasting menu). We sat and ate at the bar where Emma took great care of us. A+ service. This fine dining establishment perfectly balances elegance with a feeling of “just our local neighborhood spot.” Lighting, noise level and space are nice for both a date or group. Thank you Team Barolo!
