Casa Barotti

Bottom Line: Best Focaccia Pizza in the World & IT'S AFFORDABLE!!!I don't usually like focaccia pizza because it is too much bread but the focaccia here is literally the best in the world, yeah, including Italy. The owner was telling me people visting from Italy take some home with them. I had the spicy soppresatta pizza for $6.25, salad and beer and it was other worldly. The owner told me his daughter is the chef and bakes the pizza on a steel. Well it's thinner than most focaccia, the dough is amazing and has a crisp bottom. Oh, and the salad was other worldly too, so Italian.Yeah it's a family restaurant, with great service, very cozy look and feel, extensive choices and awesome food. Highly recommended!!!

It is new and I loved my experienceThe crew was nice and explained the dishes - Ambiance is cute and cozy for the date - with my "girlfriend"And to the taste of the food was very good !!!!

YUM! The focaccia is light and fluffy with the most delicious toppings. Bought four different slices to try at home- Tartufata, Margherita, mushroom & leak, Melanzane and put them in the oven to warm. We thoroughly enjoyed it all! Absolutely fantastic!

On my way to Rockridge BART, I passed Casa Barotti and my sister immediately said "A FOCACCIARIA? WHY DIDN'T WE KNOW ABOUT THIS?" So we ran our errands and backtracked to Casa Barotti to check out the menu. We decided the mushroom and leek focaccia looked good and was a reasonable price ($7) for a slice so we split it. It was SO GOOD. It was much thinner than what I expected, very light and fluffy, and had a delightful gentle crunch. I could easily eat 2 slices for a snack and 3 for a meal. We didn't try anything else there, but SO impressed at the texture of this bread. We talked to the employee for a few mins and found out that it opened 3 years ago, so roughly 2021. It's quite brave to open a business during the pandemic, but I'm glad they've done really well for themselves. Environment was nice. I did have to ask someone to wipe down our table because it was full of crumbs, and I watched a fly land on some food on display, but ... that's what you get for having open doors and open display cases. I assume reheating the bread would kill anything. Maybe it makes it more authentic. I suppose centuries of people have eaten food served outdoors and we all survived. Hours later I went to a birthday party where I was STILL talking about this place and sent the link to all of my friends. Highly recommend.

DO NOT SKIP THIS PLACE. Their pizza is to die for and was named one of the "Top Italian Restaurants" by San Francisco Chronicles. Crust is light and flakey, casual seating, and nice staff. Maybe pair it with a drink if you're up for it :) I got the house white wine and enjoyed it very much.Also, if you like chili oil give it a try w your order.

absolutely LOVED this spot. stumbled upon it while visiting a friend who lives in rockridge. i had a slice of their focaccia, warmed up (forget the name, but there were caramelized onions and pear slices!). it was DELICIOUS, filling, fairly priced, and did i mention delicious? only stopped in for a quick bite, but would love to come back for a glass of wine. the interior is nice and cozy, and the staff were incredibly friendly and kind while we were in there. 100% will be back on my next visit - my friend who lives in the neighborhood said Casa Barotti is being added to her local favorites rotation.

How does this place not have a solid five-star average? Absolutely amazing food. This was my first visit to a full-blown focaceria. I will definitely be back. I was a little leery at first as I typically eat thin crust pizza. But this is not pizza. This is the freshest most flavorful pizza-like thing I have ever eaten. I ordered only vegetarian focaccia, but the others looked amazing too. I'm not a vegetarian, but I was just in the mood for no meat tonight. The service was friendly, and the restaurant immaculately clean. Found meter curbside parking right outside the door. This place is so good, you should go out of your way to get here.

Dropped in during an unexpected encounter - I was drawn in from the sidewalk and wanted to know more. I liked the interior a lot - it was bright, clean, open, the walls were adorned with various photographs, from the tables, chairs, lighting fixtures, to the way the condiments were placed out on the tables, everything carried my eyes to wander and admire. I entered during a time when there was only one other person waiting for a to-go order. The guy who was working was nice - especially when I kept asking questions. All of the food looked great, well-stocked, and the display they had showing its name was well read. There was a lot I wanted to try, but I limited myself to two slices of their pizzas.- Capricciosa $7 (one of their most popular ones - mushrooms, olives, artichoke, mozzarella, and ham)- San Daniele $7.50 (this might be a seasonal one as its not listed on their website - had prosciutto and arugula)Checking in on the Yelp app, I received a free piece of their focaccia bread which he cut in two pieces for me.I would love to come back here for their aperitivo (happy hour) which is held from 4-6:30pm. I find that this place is great for a quick bite, grab n' go, and dining in for the cool atmosphere. There are a few two person tables which could be combined together for a larger group and a few bar tables along the wall which is good for two people, along with a few cute tables for outside dining which I'd love to see more of in the state of California.The food tasted amazing! Shared and eaten once I arrived home. I wish I had gotten more to try!

Such a delightful little spot run by friendly people that serves a great variety of delicious foods. My mushroom and some other thing pizza slice (not the official name) was super yummy.The main problem is that every slice they had out looked incredible making it very difficult to choose from.

I stopped by Casa Barotti for the first time after my friend raved about their pizza, salads, and croquettes. Naturally, I was excited to try them, only to find out that the croquettes are gone. Gone gone gone. (plays NSYNC's Gone song)We ordered two slices of pizza (which were solid--great crust, good flavors) and a lentil salad, which unfortunately did not live up to his hype. He insisted their salads used to be amazing, but this one? Dry, uninspired, and honestly kind of forgettable.On the bright side, the drinks were a win--I had a San Pellegrino Pomegranate and an Italian Coca-Cola, both refreshing. But when the bill came out to $50 for two slices, a sad salad, and some drinks? Felt meh.Would I come back? Maybe, but only if they bring back the croquettes and level up their salads again. Otherwise, Berkeley has plenty of great spots where I can get good pizza.
