    So, really Barnaby's is a 2-star joint. But it's such a mainstay of the area and has so much atmosphere, I can't give it less than 4. The pizza is simple, but awesome. The staff expect you to know the secret South Bend ways on instinct, so be prepared to fumble around and have them giving you WTF looks the whole time. It's worth it for the experience, though.

    Our favorite pizza in South Bend. Consistent reliable delicious. Always the same just as it's been since we were kids love that can never go wrong with the pizza from Barnabys

    Nasty hard bread sticks that are 1.75 EACH!!!! Canned cheese that tastes like plastic. Canned Parmesan cheese.

    WHAT A TOTAL NIGHTMARE OF A MESS!!!!! The restaurant is an absolute disaster! Nasty & dirty. You order your food and pay the RUDE cashier at the 2nd window. They was you receive the food is horrendous! Pizza comes out the first window on the far right. Anything that's not pizza comes from the 3rd window on the left. Then drinks you have to order at the bar - paying separately! What a cluster of a nightmare! Food is VERY EXPENSIVE!!!! Drinks, wow!!! Total rip off. 7.00 for a pitcher of pop, 4.00 for a glass?! Ridiculous. Ah, and the cashier at the bar expected tips when we ordered pop. She pointed at the tip jar everytime someone ordered pop. Don't waste your time on this dark, dingy nasty place!! It's so gross. I ended up getting food poisoning from this place.

    Inside of my onion ring... it's the part of the onion on the outside that you are suppose to PEEL OFF AND DISGARD.

    Updating my review- originally I put 2 stars because of everything that went wrong... but I did appreciate Barnaby's for reaching out after seeing that I was not pleased. I'm giving them 2 more stars for attempting to make things right which I very much appreciate. I'm glad they care about customer experience cause I'm very happy to support local small businesses compared to chains. *original review: Decent food but god what a mess. We ordered online and paid for 2 pizzas (one pepperoni and sausage and the other was a multiple topping one), cheesey bread, and onion rings. First of all when the s/o got there to pick it up, they forgot to even make the onion rings. So he had to wait for them to make it so by the time he got home - the cheese bread and pizza was not hot anymore. Guess what? It's gets better.... they left out a whole topping that we paid for .. we only got sausage pizza! UGH. Make sure you check your food cause half of your food would be missing or incorrect.

    Pretty good pizza. Cheese bread wasn't terrific but, ok. Toppings were tasty, Crust had a good texture-not enough flavor in toe sauce.

    It's been years since our initial visit to Fanello's so we decided to get it another try on a…read morerecent Saturday night. We didn't have reservations, but luckily it was only a 10-15 minute wait before we were seated. Our server was hustling and did a great job (never mentioned her name). The salad and garlic bread came out right away. The bar was a little backed up, but we eventually got our drinks. Just a glass of chardonnay for me and the hubby opted for the cinnamon maple old fashioned - definitely a miss with overly artifical tasting syrup. Our entrees came out quick, but were only warm not hot. I ordered the chicken carbonara, but it is not a true carbonara - it was a garlicky, heavy cream sauce. I had to ask for parmesan and pepper. There must be a shortage since salt and pepper were only on some of the tables and then another server came and took the parm and pepper before we were even done with our meals. My husband ordered the baked mostaccioli which came with meatballs and he added Italian sausage. The sausage was just sliced with no browning or coloring. The dish was definitely not baked, in fact the shredded mozzarella on top was barely melted. We ordered the tiramisu for dessert which was not good. It was layers of a thin spiced-like sponge cake instead of lady fingers and lacking in any sort of flavor. Overall, it was fine, but there are so many better options for amazing Italian in the area.

    Just tried this place for the 1st time!…read more The good: - The decor was nice, the service was amazing, and the garlic bread was honestly so good, I ordered a second round. The bad: - As soon as you sit down, they give you a big bowl of salad and garlic bread...*HOWEVER* if one person in your party doesn't order any entrees, they charge you for the salad and garlic bread. lol My daughter wasn't that hungry and didn't want to order anything. She was content on helping us eat the salad, until we were informed she'd be charged for it. - Pepsi Products...ugh. - The food, as was accurately described in most of the reviews, was very mediocre at best. I mean, I can make a better pasta dish and not spend the amount we did here. I ordered the chicken carbonara and the sauce was SO THICK and GLUEY. The pizza my son ordered tasted like it was from Chuck E Cheese and the tortellini was average, at best. Overall, it's a nice welcoming place with great staff and delicious garlic bread....but that's where it sadly stops. You're better off by just saving your money and making something at home. I promise you, whatever you make will be 10x better!

With that being stated, you can't be in a rush if you are planning to try Parisi's. We arrived at 7:30 and waited a bit to be seated. Our food also took a while to come out. I only saw two employees so they might be on a skeleton crew during the week. We visited on a Tuesday night. I wanted to order the lasagna but it was out for the day. We had an appetizer and some drinks to start the meal. My shrimp ravioli was very good and I loved the spicy red sauce. I was so happy with my selection. My husband ordered the lemon chicken and gave me a taste. The chicken was tender and had a tangy lemon flavor. We were both pleased with our plates. We will be back soon.

We started with drinks and my friends and husband were down right giddy to learn you could order a 40 ounce Bud Light bottle. We ordered the cheesy garlic bread as an appetizer. It came with two different marinara sauces, plain and with sausage. They were delightful. We ordered two pizzas: one with sausage, pepperoni, and mushroom; the other had green olives, onion and green pepper. The sauce was not acidy, none of us got heartburn as we sometimes do depending on the sauce. The sauce had a sweet taste. The owners were great and kind, talked with customers including us.

I really wanted to like the pizza, but to me the sauce lacked flavor. Maybe salt, herbs, garlic, onion something may have made it taste somewhat better. I added Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, and a sprinkle of salt so that the pizza wouldn't go to waste. I didn't want to send it back, so I figured I could spice it up on my own. Overall it was a great experience and atmosphere. I would be willing to give it another try and choose another crowd favorite. The menu had quite a few options, so no need to limit yourself. If only I had room for dessert. I did take my pizza to go and became a late night munch at the hotel.
