If this place was in Newport or Costa Mesa it would be fully booked. If you want some awesome Italian food, drive out here and give it a try. A shame it doesn’t get more traffic because it deserves it. The gnocchi and cannoli rivals anywhere in

We had a great New Year's Eve dinner there. The specials were terrific! We didn't order anything off of the menu....maybe next time. We split a cannoli for dessert and it was one of the best we've ever had.

I hosted my office holiday party here and it was absolutely fantastic. From the planning with Dumetella to the service by Pepe, it was a smooth and flawless experience. One of the best Caesar salads by far, each meal was elegantly presented and delicious. Despite the rainstorm the restaurant ensured that our seating was dry and comfortable. Thank you Bar One for this lovely lunch party.

The meat sauce has not really come together but the overall flavor was great. The beschamel sauce was a bit runny, I prefer out a bit thicker, but then again, the flavor was good. Service was great. The pricing is more than the value in my opinion.

The food was enormously overpriced. A member of the wait staff introduced us to lunch specials with a fanfare that was worthy of Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. No prices mentioned. The result was a $42.00 dish of postage stamp sized ravioli which had been used earlier to stuff pillows. I couldn't get beyond eating 1/3 of the portion.

We stumbled upon this Italian gem on a short business trip last year and had such a great experience we made it a point to come back again this year while on business . From the moment we are greeted we felt like family. This is a family owned and operated restaurant and to our surprise their team remembered who we were and where we sat when visiting last year! Not only is the food incredible , the customer service and hospitality supersedes all expectations. It’s rare to find restaurants that are able to deliver quality delicious cuisine and craft cocktails while also building relationships with their patrons that leaves lasting appreciated connections! We will always try to visit this Italian family any chance possible. GRAZIE!

Wonderful vibes and great food. I had left my wallet back in the summer and the staff went out of their way to return it to me. Excited to go back to try more items from their beautiful menu.

While the reataurant is lovely and the service was wonderful the food was not good! We started with calamari which was ok, pretty average standard Calamari! The. Our main courses arrived and not only was my husband extremely disappointed with his dish as he ordered rigatoni with sausage expecting actually pieces of Italian sausage not ground up meat like a standard meat sauce! Additionally the rigatoni pasta wa broken into pieces not round like rigatoni is supposed to be! He probably ate 4 bites and said “I'm done”! I ordered the special cod dish which the first bite was tasty until I realized the fish was breaded - I tried eating under the breading but ended up also only eating a small amount! I had also asked for pasta instead of risotto but was told they do not substitute (another well know Italian restaurant we frequent will basically make us anything we ask for deviating from the menu - this is where we will go the next time we want Italian)! We asked for the leftovers to go but promptly threw them Out when we returned home! We will not be dining here again!

I had lunch here and then came back for dinner. I had specials for both meals with appetizers and wine. This place does not disappoint with fanatic food and staff.

The food is fresh and everything is made from scratch in-house daily. One of the best pizzas I have ever had!Donatella genuinly cares for her guests and is very attentive to the orders and preferences.And straight across the street from Hyatt and Marriott. Literally a block away.-Olga

Best Italian food known to man, made with Sicilian passion, and they make an espresso martini to die

I think I was expecting more from this place. The pizza dough is really good but they could work on the flavor of their toppings.

We use too love ILBarone, the place is nothing like it use to be. The ambience is a cheap drive bar now! The pizza was sloppy and the cake was a bit stale. The salad was very good. We purchased cracker for 8.00 and we gave the waiter a 10.00 and he never offered back our change. He just shook my husband's hand. We had already paid and gave him a tip. This was not proper. We will not be going back. Very sad to what happened to IL Barone.?
