Good reviews are always so hard to write. No opportunities for hilarity, sarcastic comments or blunt remarks...but that is Il Baretto's only flaw.
Great Italian food, gorgeously simple décor and it's always buzzing with people - even if you plan on going on a week night I suggest booking at least a week in advance.
I've been to Il Baretto at least three times and the menu does change, so I'll sum up my favourite dishes from all three visits - if you see these on the menu, get them...immediately:
- Asparagus and parmesan salad. It's not really a salad...it's asparagus drizzled in aged balsamic with a few sun dried tomatoes and parmesan scattered over it. Simple, flavourful, delicious.
- Macaroni and cheese with black truffles - if this was in front of me everyday, I would eat the whole thing, feel full and still order more. Fatness is worth it for this.
- Pumpkin ravioli - pretty much how I feel about the macaroni and cheese
- Berry Mille Fuielle - OK, French dessert in an Italian restaurant but it's so good. So, so good.
I don't think that there is much else to say other than, I wish I was there - ciao for now!
