"Enter through sibling restaurant Faccia a Faccia and ask the host to point you to the staircase that will take you downstairs to Bar Pallino. Once downstairs, you’ll enter a sleek, dimly lit space, intended to evoke a modern Paris wine bar. Grab a table along the record–lined walls, or sit at the bar and order a glass of natural wine from the impressive program. Alternatively, opt for an expertly mixed cocktail (mezcal is a specialty). The rotating menu includes shareable plates like ricotta toast, stuffed olives, grilled lamb ribs, and fresh pasta from the Faccia a Faccia menu. The fresh gelato is also a hit. Bar Pallino hosts gluten-free pizza nights — keep an eye out on Instagram." - Anna Darrow
"Located downstairs from Faccia Brutta on Newbury Street, Bar Pallino is described as a natural wine bar offering Italian-inspired snacks." - Eater Staff
"Step down a side staircase at Ken Oringer’s newest restaurant, Faccia a Faccia, to get to the underground wine bar, Bar Pallino. Here, you’ll find an eclectic wine list that focuses on natural, biodynamic, and organic options, sourced from Oregon to Austria, curated by beverage director Jodie Battles. And, for non-wine-drinking friends, there are cocktails including Negronis on draft, beer, cider, an in-depth mezcal list, and more." - Erika Adams
"Bar Pallino, a natural wine bar with Italian-inspired snacks, offers over 70 selections of wine, particularly focusing on organic, natural, and biodynamic options. The bar also has amari, vermouths, mezcals, and more." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
"The latest project from popular restaurateurs Ken Oringer and Jamie Bissonnette is a coastal Italian restaurant, Faccia Brutta, and an adjoining natural wine bar, Bar Pallino. The former will feature pasta made in-house, including gluten-free options from a separate kitchen, and plenty of seafood; the latter will complement its natural wine with mezcal." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
