Salads are very good portion although they may tell you it is "appetizer". I just had kale salad (special of the day) and am walking out very happy

Out new favorite neighborhood restaurant. Beautiful space that has a very warm and inviting vibe. The food is fresh and delicious. Such a friendly staff too. There is nothing not to love here!!!

In addition to salads and sandwiches, the menu has traditional Italian pastas, and entrees like veal scaloppine and potato-crusted salmon. Most dishes are priced under $20.

Finally! A spacious restaurant with great food and great laid back ambience. I loved it. PS the seaport district is getting better and better.

Space is fantastic. Pastas are the thing to get here-- my wife got a fish dish that was very underwhelming, but the pastas we sampled were great.

Meat lasagna is good but small compared to the pasta portions (same price)! Coworkers loved the fettuccine bolognese so gonna have to try that next time.

Delicious pasta in a nice, friendly, neighborhood setting. I look forward to the opening of the main restaurant. Welcome back.

From the mythical ashes of the former Barbarini, which fell victim to Superstorm Sandy, comes Barbalu. Owners decided to rebuild their newest venture in the space of their old, destroyed restaurant.

First night in the old seaport area. Great eclectic Italian. Great good for not too much $$

If they have the Kale salad special, get it. We almost ordered seconds. Gluten free pasta is not bad either.

Ravioli and rigatoni were perfect. Do. NOT. Leave without the tiramisu. You'll forever regret it.
Josh FerryJune 4, 2018
Great atmosphere and fantastic food

The spaghetti with sausage and cream!

Ravioli were excellent. Bar is tiny but grab a seat and watch the cooks go at it in the kitchen.

We had the speck sandwich, lasagna, and fettucini bolognese. All were great.

Put the Parmesan cheese on everything you order

Decent meat lasagna and homemade tiramisu. Good quality and portions for the price.

Make friends with owners Stefano & Adriana if you can catch them. They are the sweetest!

Lasagna was above average but not memorable. Shared a meat platter and cheese platter to start... Was good

Steak and pear pasta 😋

The service was very slow. Sandwiches decent

Good but expensive
Victoria WongJune 3, 2014
Wasnt worth the $. Food was over cooked, not proportioned and lacked service-barely saw our waiter and they forgot 3 entrées.
TamaraMarch 2, 2016
👎🏽👎🏽 Run! Underseasoned, overrated, overpriced.
