Casa Barilla

This place was great! IFirst off it is very very good for the price for authentic italian dishes. I didn't know what to expect it was honestly a real suprise. I use this brand of pasta all the time so it was also inspiring seeing it being cooked with care and love. I know it's an odd thing to mention but there were a lot of Italian people eating alongside me and from what I gather enjoying their meals. The staff were very friendly when I asked for extra garlic in my pesto linguine there was no problem. Pasta was cooked perfectly to the tooth. Al dente! Great selection of wines. The pinot noir was great. Will certainly be returning before I leave.

Great place to have a filling and tasty lunch, we visited around lunch time and it was pleasantly quiet. Staff were friendly and the place was clean. There is a great choice from the menu however I went with the "Linguine Al Pesto" which was cooked perfectly, pesto was flavoursome and not too overpowering. The total cost of the meal with a soft drink was very reasonably especially when you can pay a lot more in other places, would go again!

Barilla is a nice and pleasent eatery for the area. The establishment serves food that is more typical to Italy, as opposed to New York Italian. The menu offers something foreveryone, and the prices are more than reasonable. A very friendly staff can be found without the restaurant - help and service is fast and efficient.
