Food is consistently good, from appetizers up to main and down to dessert.
For starters, we had Brussels Chips and Carpaccio Di Manzo. Brussel sprouts chips are good. A little bit salty, but that is what chips are. They were crispy and addictive as well.
For main, we had Margherita and San Francisco Pizzas and then pastas Tortelloni Di Manzo, Tagliatelle Salmone & Zucchine. And these 4 were a marvel!
For dessert, we had Tiramisu. And it is delicious.
For drinks, along the course of the dinner, I had sparkling Prosecco Rosé for starters, and then Chardonnay and then Dolce Vita cocktail paired with tiramisu! And a match made in heaven combination.
All in all, it is a great experience. Couple it with great company! It was indeed great.
Came for the pinsa, will go back for the eggplant appetizer.
Authentic contemporary Italian menu executed perfectly in a vibrant space with excellent friendly service. Perfect for a fun night out in the heart of North Beach.
Great location, food, service and views. Super helpful staff. Tasty menu with lots of variety and excellent drinks.
Restaurant reminds me of a beautiful fish tank with a wide angle view of the world so that you can forget about its average food; the sharks circle and ask you repeatedly to order more ; tell them to suck on a lemon ; use the one they give you with a beer.
Perfect place for bouquet of friends to sit and chat, to see and be seen. Best place for reading while having drinks on a weekday when it’s devoid of people. Great interior design , I liked the wall paper a lot. Photos taken from outside the restaraunt - glass windows reflect the world outside
I recently visited Barbara Pinseria and found the atmosphere to be very nice and the staff to be kind and welcoming. However, the pastas I tried were a bit lackluster in flavor. The Gnocchi Alla Sorrentina was particularly missing salt, but we were able to improve the taste with some added chili oil.
On the bright side, I highly recommend the Burrata & Pesto Pizza. It was absolutely delicious and definitely the highlight of the meal.
Here's a breakdown of what I ordered:
- Bruschetta [3/5]
- Burrata & Pesto Pizza [5/5]
- Gnocchi Alla Sorrentina [3/5]
- Pappardelle Con Fungi [5/5]
Overall, while some dishes were a bit underwhelming, the Burrata & Pesto Pizza and the friendly staff made up for it.

Had a wonderful time here for a wedding reception. Salad, antipasti with mortadella prosciutto etc, pasta with tomato cheese sauce and a main dish of a chicken leg with potatoes and vegetables. Each of the courses tasted so good. The bread with olive oil was also really incredible. If you want some wonderful food in a relaxed atmosphere check out this place.

👀 Came here as part of the North Beach Food Tour, it is a modern Roman pizzerie, named after the owner's grandma. Its specialty is pinsa, a cloud-like pizza made with lighter ingredients.
Pinsa is an ancient style of Roman pizza made using combination of soy, rice, and heirloom wheat flour. The dough is left to rise for 48-72 hours, then baked at a lower temperature. The result is a thick but light and airy crispy crust, rich in natural fiber.
It’s located on a corner block so pretty good for people watching.
💥 This red and white restaurant has pop art type features with neon sign. Floral wallpaper gives it a retro type vibe.
💁🏼♀️ The service was so lovely here, we were welcomed like family.
🍸 Barbara’s is a full on cocktail bar, offering beer, wine, spirits and $13 cocktails!

Amazing place if you are looking to have a good Italian meal!
Great food, atmosphere (we sat on the sidewalk with heaters to enjoy watching the lively evening), and service! The calamari & veggies were some of the best I’ve had in a while. Can’t wait to go back to try more in their menu. Wine was delicious & reasonably priced.
Try their pizza! Oh my goodness that crust is amazing!!
