Used to visit Sagafredo years ago but this was my first time at Barsecco. We came for a colleague's bon voyage party during happy hour & we could not have picked a better spot! From the moment we walked up, the hostess greeted us warmly & all the waitstaff was equally lovely. Super helpful & attentive We sat outside & although it was raining, the staff made sure to adjust blinds to keep us dry. My boss ordered quite a few shareable plates from the fantastic Happy Hour menu for the table:
- Golden Fried Calamari (San marzano basil pomodoro, aji amarillo aioli) Golden, crispy & perfectly cooked, not greasy & yummy sauces.
- Grana Padano Truffle Fries (Thick-cut steak fries, grana Padano cheese, truffle oil, and chives) Also golden & also not greasy. Truffle was not overpowering & they were hot & fresh.
- Guacamole (Fresh hass avocados, tomato, onion, garlic, cilantro, lime) Fresh & flavourful although I didn't really like the 4 blue corn tortilla chips that came with it.
- Baja Chicken Tacos (Grilled chicken breast, smoked bacon, black beans, melted cheese, spicy mayo, avocado, flour tortilla) Had bacon so I didn't try but everyone seemed to enjoy.
- Margherita (San marzano pomodoro, mozzarella, basil) DELICIOUS! Really so good & very thin so although it was decadent, did not feel guilty.
- Pepperoni (San marzano pomodoro, mozzarella, basil, pepperoni) No pork for me but everyone ate it up.
For cocktails, I chose what ended up being one of the BEST I've ever had! The Spicy Cucumber Cilantro Margarita (Tequila, combier, fresh lime juice, agave nectar, fresh cucumber, jalapeño, cilantro microgreens) was PERFECTION! Balanced, refreshing, and packed a punch. Loved it!
Great food, great drinks, great service, great music in beautiful surroundings. Will definitely be back to Barsecco!
