Baraonda Ristorante

We sat at the bar and ordered meatballs and Fritto for an appetizer and Vongole pasta, and shared a bottle of red wine. Bartenders were very attentive and nice and provided a great service. It was a second time for me to eat at this restaurant. In my opinion, atmosphere and service is great. Food is good but not excellent.

We went here last night and honestly I must say, the atmosphere is great, the service is great, but the food itself, the important part- was extremely disappointing. My pasta dish pictured really had nearly no flavor. My fellow party members tried my food and remarked how it had no flavor other than pasta and the seafood in it. It was like the tomato sauce lacked flavor completely and I tasted no seasoning at all. We also got “bread service” and the bruschetta for the table. I must say I am again disappointed that the bread was not warmed at all the amount of olive oil provided was so small, most of the other Italian restaurants I frequent don’t make you pay for bread and it actually has flavor to it. The bruschetta was the best tasting thing we received it had flavor. Will not be returning, unfortunate, but first Italian restaurant I don’t like.

My wife and I stopped in here for lunch and met Alin, the owner. A most gracious host. Alin told us about the menu and which dishes came with homemade pasta, in what types of pasta that were not on the lunch menu. We started off with two Small Plates, appetizers. One was Fritto, a dish of fried calamari, shrimp, and lemon with red pepper flakes, accompanied by a side of Marana. The other was the bruschetta. Both were excellent! Distinct flavors, clean taste and were complimented by a white wine that we ordered at his recommendation. For our main dishes, my wife ordered the lasagna, outstanding! And I ordered the Bolognese with pappardelle, a homemade pasta instead of the spaghetti. Amazing flavors and texture. This was accompanied by a delightful red wine recommended by Alin. For dessert well we didn't have any because we were so full from our meal. Next time we will definitely save room for the tiramisu. As a no, we do not frequent Italian restaurants that often as we both love to cook and don't find them to be worthy of a visit. However, Baraonda Ristorante is not your typical Italian restaurant. If you know food, then you will appreciate this restaurant. Enjoy! Below are images of our meals and the current menus, Lunch & Dinner.

The place looks beautiful, and very accommodating as well as the service . The food was a bit disappointing. The fungi flat bread was ordinary, the heart of palms salad was delicious , and the eggplant arancini were fine but not too much special. Chocolate cake was very tasty .

Great restaurant. Delicious food, and attentive service. Nice atmosphere. We had a great time eating here. The chef was able to accommodate food allergy. The steak was delicious and done perfectly inside (see picture). Just the way I ordered it. Complementary valet parking. A little overpriced. We will come back to this restaurant.

Went here for a birthday dinner for a friend and we had the BEST TIME! Service was INCREDIBLE! Food was so fresh and drinks were perfect. Amazing fun and sophisticated vibe. Would 100% recommend.

Stop in for for Pastatini every Thursday through September for some delicious food. Gigli Vodka and the Ziti Al Forno are a must try! Worth every bite from both dishes. The tiramisu is a great way to end the meal with getting a sweet tooth fix. Don’t forget to check out their Martini’s and wine section.

New favorite spot in Sandy Springs!! A neighbor highly recommended this restaurant to try out and it did not dissapoint. The staff was so friendly, attentive, and helpful with the menu. Ruby recommended the bricco carlina wines on the specials menu and they were amazing! Our group ended up having 2 bottles of each by end of the night The food came out quickly and was delicious. Great ambiance, decor, and energy amongst the patrons. We met another group of regulars drinking the same wine and had to pop a few more corks. It's like an Italian Cheers where you're made to feel very welcome and like family. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
