All 4 pasta dishes were very overcooked and mushy. Also music was very loud for a quaint setting. Will not be returning.

Everyone was wonderful, great super friendly and helpful waitress. The best appetizers, I would say try them all and really tasty desserts. Pizza, pastas and everything was prepared really well. :) The restaurant also offered our table some complimentary cannoli for our party of 9 and then was so nice for our celebration. Thank you so much!

Deli house gluten free pasta options. Our cocktails were delicious (and quote large) and the food was excellent. We had a wonderful server too!

The whole meal was on the sour side. When we asked about it, the server's reply was, "yes, that because the chef squeezes lemon on the dish." We were hoping they might offer to redo some of the dishes, but it seems they quite like it that way.

Barano is one of my favorite NYC restaurants. I have been coming here, or ordering online, for years and it never disappoints. I recently took my friend to Barano to celebrate both her birthday and pregnancy, and she had a wonderful time! The food and drinks were excellent, including her mocktails. The waiter even brought out a couple comped desserts at the end that really made her night. Everything was fantastic!

We went to Barano for brunch for Mother’s day and it was a great experience! We ordered the garlic bread, caesar salad, and burrata nonna pizza for appetizer and it was all so delicious. The. We ordered the carbonara, cacio e pepe, and chicken parm which were all unbelievable. We finished it off with zeppoli and cannolis. Everything was so yummy and the service was outstanding as well. My mom had a blast! I love Barano! The best
