Barbaro

I can't believe it took me this long to visit Barbaro.First of all, the location - I adore this side of town. It's cute, historic, and just overall a great place for visual eye candy.Barbaro is dimly lit with enough indoor and outdoor space to accommodate a good crowd on a Saturday night. They have happy hours in the afternoons, where we got half-off pizzas and drinks.I ordered an old fashioned. It was a little sweet, so it took me a good while to finish it, and it was pretty watered down by the time I was done with it. For some starters, I ordered a charcuterie board, but didn't realize adding cheese and included a $10 upcharge until I got my bill. Hot honey was also an up charge, but not nearly as shocking. My friend ordered garlic knots for the table and they were soft and fluffy. Very tasty.The group ordered two white-sauce pizzas: the carbonara and the clams casino. I only tried the latter and it had a very pleasant kick. (I even drizzled some hot honey on it and it was fantastico!) Our waitress was pretty great. Service was exceptional. I'd definitely come back to try their brunch and more menu items.

Tried this place because I had a discount code to use. Was pleasantly surprised!The restaurant was a small and dim place but provided a nice cozy ambiance. Our waiter was super helpful in recommending dishes. The burrata was to die for, wish we had asked for more bread.We split the hashbrown pizza and added pepperoni. Anybody interesting take on a pizza, but it was delicious.Will be coming back!

One of the best pizzas I've ever had. Totally recommend this place. Had a limited menu but when you want a good pizza there are like 3 places in San Antonio that you need to try, this place is one of them. And dough pizzeria sucks ass. Just the one minor negative for this place and is the racism. My wife and i came here. Again, she is Gringona and I'm Super Mex and the guero shaggy looking mofo waiter would not sit us at a booth because "our booths are for large groups" Not even 5 minutes later a very nice non-mix-race-non-minority couple walked and he sat them at a booth. I was going to go full Laredo on his ass, but then I had to let it go because hey, this is San Antonio and this city is beginning to show more hate than before. But the pizza is still good!

This was my second visit to Barbaro, and it offered a chance to see how well they've maintained their unique and tasty offerings since my first visit last year. Last time, I sat outside where the heat was nearly unbearable, but the pizza was memorably good and unique, making it worth the discomfort.This time around, I opted for the cool comfort of the indoor seating. The AC was a welcome relief. I had a coupon and wasn't sure how to redeem it, and while the bartender initially didn't know either, he quickly figured it out with some help from his manager, which I appreciated.I ordered the Chicken Parmesan, which was served hot--always a good sign in my book. The chicken itself was flavorful and tender, hitting all the right notes. However, the pasta that accompanied it was just okay, lacking any standout qualities that would make it memorable.The vibe inside Barbaro is casual, making it a great spot for catching up with friends. It's a place where you can relax, enjoy some good food, and not feel rushed.Overall, my experience at Barbaro was positive, with commendable service and a comfortable atmosphere. While the pasta might not have impressed this time, the chicken Parmesan and the overall experience encourage me to return.

We came to Barbaro with some good friends last night and it was quite good.We were here in time for some drink specials and they have a fully stocked bar with a really good bartender! Excellent old-fashioned.We started with the cheese sticks, which were really really good! The salad was also very good with a very good dressing and the pizza was crispy and delicious! We will be back!

Tried out Barbaro with a friend and absolutely loved it! From the cute entrance on the corner to the interesting decor inside, it's such an enjoyable place with a great vibe. Our server was attentive and delightful and gave us great recommendations. We ordered the Benton's County Hams pizza and it was so unique and flavorful! I look forward to returning soon to try some more menu items!

Myself and my husband visited Barbaro on a Saturday evening. We didn't have a reservation but we were quickly seated. The ambiance of the restaurant is a loud moody hipster vibe which we liked. Our server was very friendly and helped us with recommendations. We thoroughly enjoyed our pizza and the hot honey. Giving a 4 stars because we had asked for a to-go box after we paid for our meal and the waitress obviously forgot about us after paying. It took 2 reminders and about 20 minutes for us to get the to-go container. Otherwise it was a lovely experience and would definitely check it out again.

Two things I love are calzones and brick buildings, and buddy. this place has both. It also has alcoholic drinks containing espresso. And an open floor plan with a hint of maximalism on the walls. Worth a visit especially if you want an elevated drink with your pizza.

Service is great but I was charged full price for toppings I only got on half of of my pizza and our entire party agreed that they were pretty stingy with the ricotta. Overall the service was professional and prompt but for the price I expect more ricotta.

Sucks. Pizzas suck. They used to have toppings. Now they're mostly crust. Wine list is weak.
