Barano

"We had dinner here and loved everything about it. Food was so good, great wine options, very cute restaurant, and awesome service. Our server, Alex, was so helpful and made sure we had a great dinner. We will be back again soon!"

"Excellent spot for larger parties. Food is good and you will be satisfied, but is not anything to go rant about. Wish they had larger circle tables for larger parties too. Pizza was good (excellent pesto on the tie dye), chicken Milanese, meatballs, bone marrow pasta were the best of the dishes. Some other pastas and apps were just OK, but not disappointing. Overall, not a restaurant that will blow your socks off, but is a nice local spot for a large party vs a date spot and will be satisfied. Large space. Wait staff was incredible and very quick and attentive. Service top notch."

"We initially had a reservation at Misi, but due to AC issues they cancelled it last minute. We walked to Barano after the GM at Misi recommended their pastas. Easy to get in with a walk in for 6 people (although it was a bit on the earlier side - before 6pm). Happy hour deals until 6pm ($8 beer, $10 house wine + $12 cocktails) — I got the All Carb Diet (mezcal), which was good for one, a little milky for my liking. The pastas were solid, recommend the tagliatelle. Pizzas good to split as appetizers - the Nonna was closer to a deep dish style. Overall, good meal. Server was bubbly and entertaining."

"Fantastic dinning experience in Williamsburg here! Everything from the kitchen to table quick as rock! Seafoods highly recommended so fresh just like come out to the water. Must try grilled octopus!! Pastas no.1 option is Bucatani nero! Plus they get gluten free versions for everything. The service is the best, friendly and attentive. Seating is so comfortable with good vide! Summer outdoor near waterside what can be more amazing! Kids friendly as well cause their pizzas are from stone oven with good quality ingredients. I will definitely come back and try out entire menu!!"
