Piccola osteria curata dove ci siamo trovati molto bene. Menù fisso da 18 euro anche di sabato. Porzioni adeguate e qualità ottima. Buoni anche pane grissini e caffè. Ci ritorneremo.

Da ritornare, vale la pena. Domenica abbiamo pranzato in questa trattoria, che già conoscevamo, ma che ora è gestita da una giovane coppia con la signora in sala, che ti suggerisce carinamente i molti piatti in lista, dal pesce alla carne cucinati ottimamente dal cuoco, con porzioni abbondanti.

L’osteria Barbavara si è rivelata una lieta sorpresa. Un Sabato di inizio settembre abbiamo avuto la fortuna di pranzare, capitati per caso perché in zona. Cibo ottimo e ingredienti genuini, pasta fatta in casa . Consigliato sicuramente se vi trovate da quelle parti

Io e la mia famiglia torniamo spesso in questo ristorante che, secondo noi, è uno dei locali migliori della zona. La ricerca della qualità negli alimenti caratterizza la passione dei titolari per la cucina. La titolare presente in sala é gentile ed attenta verso il cliente anche più esigente, consigliando sempre al meglio. La cucina, tipica italiana, si adatta anche a chi ha intolleranze alimentari. Consiglio vivamente.

Dall antipasto al dolce tutto buonissimo, abbiamo assaggiato diversi piatti e sicuramente c è una ricerca dietro,qualità nelle materie utilizzate,molto gentile la proprietaria.(consigliatissimo per chiudere il pasto il dolce di ricotta e visciole.)

Beautiful place in a beautiful little village, service polite and prompt, delicious food, good-sized portions, and reasonably priced. Recommended. Can be a little bit noisy when full
