Baraonda Ristorante

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.

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.

We had a BIG FORTY birthday group party (7 people) and had so much fun!!! Everything was perrrrfect, the atmosphere, the service, and especially the food!! They were so kind to bring a complimentary cake for my friend’s birthday. We enjoyed our time so much that we accidentally broke a wine glass but they were so kind about it… A huge “Thank you” to Baraonda Ristorante and all the staffs there!

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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The host at the door has absolutely no customer service skills!! The only thing he said from our arrival until our departure was “did you have a reservation that I should cross off the list”!? Looked like he was mad to even be working today!!?? Our server was nice but not 100% on his game!! We were never asked if we would like coffee, dessert, etc.!!?? The atmosphere is nice… But really loved the look and feel of the original location in Midtown!! I feel there are definitely better Italian restaurants in Sandy Springs, but I will give it another try and come for dinner to see if that changes things for the better!!

I enjoyed a most delicious lunch at Baronda The service was attentive suggesting several dishes which were divine. I am a trained cook and appreciated the flavors, freshness and how light all the dishes were just to my liking. Best calamari I’ve ever had.

Been here several times. Great food and service. Pizza seems to be a popular dish but we’ve never tried it here. My wife always gets the pappardelle with lamb ragu and raves about it. I usually get a fish entree - tonight it was salmon served with asparagus and leek couscous. A definite winner. Baraonda is Italian but not your father’s Italian. They have a diverse selection of interesting dishes and some Italian favorites for the purists. They have live music on Friday evenings (sadly today is Saturday).
