  • We came to the Barrel from out of town to enjoy a Thanksgiving dinner. We had made a reservation and once we got there we were shown to our table. The restaurant was packed and seemed to be somewhat noisy. They were having a special Thansgiving dinner as well as the regular menu. We all got the Thansgiving dinner exept my mom who opted to order the linguini pescatore and boccocini salad. The thanksgiving dinner was amazing and very filling! We all enjoyed our meal and would be back again.

  • Order: Thanksgiving dinner special, Linguini pescatore and tomatoe bococcini salad

  • This restaurant was amazing and even though we waited 30 minitues for a table it was worth waiting for. We shared a few appetizers including the mussels, and caesar salad. My husband had the veal pizzaiola which was a huge portion size. We really appreciate how all the dinners come with a salad and dinner roll. The dressing will knock your socks off its so yummy. I am salvating just thinking about the parm dinner my wife had. The service was great we plan to go back soon

  • Order: Chicken parm dinner, Veal pizzaiola, mussels marinara, bruchetta

  • I was absolutley hyped by the feedback I found here about the barrel! One of my favorite things to do if given the chance is to leave good feedback, for any establishment I visit! The service was about averege today.... I had the linguine in their house sauce! My wife had the speghetti in marinara! My portion was of a decent size, my wifes in the half size probably big enough for a thirteen year old! The soup, ministrone was nice although I found it lacking beans and full of zuchini seeds which I found somewhat unpleasent!, but that is personal preferance! The restaurant is large and beautiful, but I definatly would not take my 76 year old italian neighbor there {testa dura}! A little pricey but all in all about a 7 out of ten!

  • we walked into this restaurant around 9:15 and I guess they close at 10 or 10:30? the staff was not very impressed. after we were rudly seated a different waitress came up to our table and asked if we would consider eating take out from them because, "all the staff are going home now" I was so taken aback by this! we happen to live 3 hours from the restaurant so we said no and were rushed through our meal. awful!!!

  • Order: thai chicken pasta

  • Love the food here. It IS the best Italian anywhere! The marinara sauce is sooo goood. Just alittle spicy, just the way I like it! Husband loves the panzerotti. Enjoy sitting in the booth than tables. Rose (waitress) is such a sweetheart! Cesar salad is great but very very expensive when you order takeout.

  • Order: spaghetti with marinara; panzerotti

  • We brought our out of town guest to The Barrel for dinner and found out that they were also hosting a free wine tasting hosted by a local winerie that night. It was absolutely great to mingle and try the wine with also getting a little wine lesson from the owner of the winerie. The added bonus was that the food, and service were also very good and our friends were thrilled with the quality of food. We love you Barrel thanks for another amazing night out!

  • Order: Calamari, greek brushetta, chicken caesar salad, veal paizaiola, stuffed chicken breast

  • When we arrived there was a small wait. But we stayed since we love Barrel food.. The lobby was full but moved quickly. The staff were courteous and frindly from the door to the waitress that served. The manager stopped by to see all our needs were met she was a very friendly mid age woman. The waitress was quick to get us started with our drinks and requests, even though she was clearly well booked she never let it disturb her attitude or service to our table or the others around us. The restrooms were clean and well maintained as well. This is an important asset to any dining experience. I would greatly reccomend this Barrel restaurant to anyone, for dress or casual dining.

  • Order: Sausage lentil soup, barrel breadsticks, shrimp scampi, Pork souvlaki
