La Barrita Restobar

The customer service was really good. Everyone was very accommodating, friendly, and checked in on our experience several times.The space was small and intimate. There were a few tables lined up but the bar area. Nice, dark, and intimate setting. Not sure there was another part to the restaurant.The meal came out with fresh complimentary bread that was really good (I did find the dip that came with it a little too salty for my liking).I was trying to decided between the eggplant gnnochi and the short rib risotto. The waiter suggested the latter. I made a comment that I was hesitating cause I really have been in the mood to eat gnnochi but wanted to try the ragu. He said, we can make that happen and brought me gnocchi with the short rib ragu. It was excellent. Very very flavorful. I didn't ask for anything to enhance it; it was perfect. My friend got the steak and I took a bite of it and it was seasoned perfectly. We also tried the flan and the carmel sauce that came with it was spot on perfect. The prices were also very reasonable. I will most definitely come back here.

While the food isn't that picturesque, the quality and taste of each dish was top notch!We started with the beef, chicken, and spinach empanadas. Chimichurri was heavenly!!Entree's ordered:Risotto con Tuco: large portion (enough for two), meat tender, rice well cooked.Bife de Chorizo: well grilled, the chimi was a great addition. Sides were also in large shareable portion with this dish. Bartender Marty was attentive and open to providing feedback about certain dishes. The space is cozy, reservation recommended, bar seating available.

This place was delicious! Not only was the food so good and the ambience so cozy and warm but they gave you generous portions! We got their salad which was well dressed, flavorful and refreshing. And the pasta dishes- their spaghetti and their fettuccine with meat sauce. All the pasta was fresh and made in house and the sauce was so good! My personal favorite was the spaghetti. And again, I left feeling so full and satisfied because of the large portions! It felt like they were welcoming you to their home because they didn't skimp on the portions! Best size of any restaurant I've been too! We also got their berry panna cotta which was delicious! Overall, I can't wait to go back! Perfect late night meal- this place is a gem of a restaurant! I felt warm, cozy and taken care of by the entire experience!

The vibe and the atmosphere however, were 5 stars - and was happy with the service - but I was underwhelmed by the food offerings.The empanadas were okay, and the accompanying fries (which is a weird accompaniment) were limp. The traditional beef and chicken empanadas were not even traditional - there were no hard-boiled eggs, olives.The polenta was sadly not the soft type that I was used to in many Argentine restaurants but were instead a cut out triangular shape block, making it dense which is a poor match for a heavy mushroom cream - the softer polenta would make it a better match.Until the kitchen corrects their menu to truly reflect Argentine cuisine, I can't recommend this place for the two items we had above. Sadly we weren't hungry for more this evening.

Amazing and adorable spot in Butchers Hill! Finally made it here after forever! We were able to get a table despite it being the weekend, but there were just two of us and we sat outside.As a vegetarian, it took me a while to try this place, but there were great options! Started with complimentary bread which came with a delicious dip! We got the spinach empanadas, the polenta del bosque as appetizers. The empanadas were great and definitely and good serving! The mushroom cream sauce on the polenta was incredible. Finally, got the gnocchi with eggplant which was also amazing! Their gnocchi was well cooked, and perfectly soft. Excited to try more of their pastas and appetizers next time!

First time and loved it! Really cozy and intimate. The service was awesome. We went by on a Sunday night without a reservation and the place was pretty packed. Thankfully we got bar seating fairly quickly. Drinks - the sangria (red) was delicious. Probably the best (most authentic) sangria I've had in Baltimore. They also have a few selections of Malbec.They serve a complimentary chimichurri with a side of bread - delicious!And for the main we shared the parilla for two. There was so much food - could have easily shared that between four. It also comes with a ton of fries. The meat was delicious. I'd definitely recommend! We are going back to try the empanadas next time!

Amazing experience!! The food is fantastic! You can tell they make great efforts to provide a delicious meal. Their pastas are housemade. The service was excellent! The establishment is small but very beautifully decorated. The layout allows for an intimate dining experience. It's not very loud either. Highly recommend!!

Only reviewing this place for the service. I heard the food is amazing so I booked it for my friends birthday. The only available table was outdoors & there was no forecast of rain originally but when we got there, it had been raining - they hadn't put the umbrella up/had no outdoor seating and pointed to a dark table in the rain for my RESERVATION and sarcastically said "sorry for the rain I guess!" Put my name down, they told me it would be about an hour - called 1.5 hours later for an update, and got chastised by someone over the phone. "Do you expect me to magically create a table out of nowhere? One more hour probably, I have nothing more to say I will see you in an hour" *hangs up.* For a place so well rated, I was so disappointed at the service and how annoyed they seemed at me for calling once for an update. Frankly, made me not want to end up trying this place which is a shame because I've heard good things.

Gorgeous ambience, friendly service, & delicious food. For the amount of food we got, it was a pretty good price. We got the La Barrita salad, spinach empanadas, polenta del bosque, risotto con tuco, canelones Palermo, mixed berry panna cotta, and chocolate lava cake with vanilla bean ice cream. For the drinks, we got the Che Boludo, Mendoza sour, & a Malbec. The only just fine thing was the empanadas, everything else was so good. My favorite was the polenta del bosque (INCREDIBLE mushroom cream sauce), the risotto, & the canelones. Will definitely be coming here again!

Love this place! Best steak I've had in a while! Service was great and the ambiance was awesome as well. It's a tiny but mighty spot. Even the salad was amazing! Loved their empanadas also. Can't wait to go back!
