This was our first time dining at Barolo Grill. From the welcoming ambience, to the attentive staff, we were thoroughly impressed! There was a group of six of us, the food came out fresh and hot for everyone, and it was one of the best meals we’ve had! My husband said the only place Barlo fell short, was not giving him 15 of their fresh, homemade rolls lol. The wine selection is second to none, and the selections were explained to us carefully. We loved the four course option, my husband and I could get different things so we were able to try different dishes. Everything was absolutely delicious! We will definitely be back! -Alfonso and Shauna Pugh, The Shining Co.

Excellent food, fun service, great atmosphere. I had the fresh oysters which were perfectly cold and salty, followed by the cacio e pepe with shaved black truffles. I would eat everything again.

Venice - Best Authentic Italian Food! We are Venice "regulars" for Happy Hour and special celebrations! For this visit we chose hearty small plates of Ravioli Di Salsiccia, Rigatoni Con Salsiccia, and Spaghetti Con Polpettine. The spicy sausage in the tangy tomato sauce is so flavorful! The veal meatballs with spaghetti are delicious! Our cocktails and wine served by Dennis were prefect as usual. The variety of the menu for happy hour (or dinner) is amazing! The service is attentive, and we love the upscale, but comfortable ambiance!
