Review Barbarino's - Auckland

Compliments to the chef(s)/staff: 10/10 for service, food, and ambience/atmosphere. We went on opening night and staff were attentive, and service was excellent/quick. The food is scrumptious, the portions are huge, and the food is priced well. Will be back again, and again 🙌🏻😊

It was nice that the building has a parking lot around the back which made it quite convenient. The only annoying thing is that you can only exit the carpark towards Avondale so it requires a U turn to go the other direction. The dining area is quite spacious with a few large tables. The menus were already laid out on the tables so you could get to deciding once you sit down, drinks on one side and the food on the other. They also had an outdoor deck area but unsure how popular it will be during winter. We came fairly early and it did fill up and they were quite busy throughout the night. They have quite a selection of sauces and pastas which you can mix and match. They also had a combo where you can order a schnitzel and pasta. Once ready, you head up to the counter to order. There was an arancini special which I ended up getting along with the cannelloni and side of vegetable. The food was quite nice and it was really well priced, most things under the $20 mark. I did find the $8 cannoli was a bit expensive. A really nice place to grab some pasta and other tasty Italian dishes.

Great little Italian place! Awesome atmosphere! The food is amazing and reasonably priced. We had the fungi pizza and the carbonara with keto noodles (squash spiral noodles). I only wish they did gluten free pizza but other than that, everything was amazing! Would definitely go back!

Cannot see how to notify but this place is shut down. May 2021 A shame I went Friday 13 May, interior completely cleared out Old review... Fantastic food. Boscaiola was simply divine. ✨ Highly recommend!! Fresh delicious food, a thriving atmosphere of plants, people and magical lights ✨👍😊

The service is fast and friendly! The food is to die for. Each plate we got looked and tasted amazing. Loved all the food but my fave plate...the tiramisu😍

Excellent selection of spaghetti. All very tasty! Must say though, the pesto sauce is my favourite. Highly recommended!

Fantastic menu. Wanted to try everything but the dishes we for were amazing. Will be back.

Delicious pasta in a vibey cafe setting. Service was quick and the staff were friendly and enthusiastic. My papardelle Sicilians was delicious, my partner's ravioli was also stunning. Better than a recent trip to Italy. Prices are reasonable.

Have been meaning to try our local @barbarinos_spaghetteria for a while now. Ordered a quick meal last night - Chilli Arrabiata. Let’s just say, this dish did not disappoint 😋. Loving the fresh chilli 🌶 hit and the fresh pasta 🍝 Definitely highly recommended, will be back

With all the covid stuff going on. The Meal was great. We did the papardella? Next time will do the spaghetti I think. Bon appetit.

Great food lovely staff. More staff needed at the till. More mellow music would be better in this space. They will be doing Uber eats which will be a great addition.

Got some pastas, garlic bread and tiramisu delivered during Covid L3. Food was hot and fresh and absolutely gorgeous! Higly reccomend :)

Amazing food, awesome service! Delicious Italian food, nothing fancy, just good quality ingredients cooked perfectly. What made the experience even better was their service. We went on a Friday, the place was packed, there was a wait list, but we got our table for 5 quicker than expected. The staff was friendly, they were crazy busy, but they did everything with a smile on their face. Their Maitre D was accommodating and looked after us so well. Being in the hospitality industry, I really appreciate the extra effort and attention to detail from wait staff, they might seemed small, but add so much more to the dining experience. Cannot wait to go back again. Thanks for an amazing night team.

Simple dishes done well at a great price. Really nice vibe and trendy interior. Would like to see a better selection of wine. Lots of families early on so if your not a fan of crowds and loud children maybe make it a late dinner (8pm).

Cheap, affordable, decent, Italian-based food. Great building, good staff. Will spend around $26 for a main and a beverage. That's cheap ANYWHERE, let alone in Auckland. Good menu, smart idea, have seen a meatball place with the same kind of structure. All done and gone in less than an hour. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Will return, or at a bare minimum, order on UberEats at the places we stay when visiting the region. Would recommend, will recommend.
