Great Italian food with surprisingly large portion sizes! The staff is very attentive and friendly. We ordered the meatballs, which are not only delicious but very hearty. The sauce they come with could be sipped on with a straw- it is that good! We also ordered the chicken parm with vodka pasta and the shrimp scampi, both with enough on the plate to take home a smaller portion. read more

First time eating at Barsotti's. Date night with my wife for dinner before a comedy show at Music Hall in Fair Park. Super friendly staff. Even though we had reservations we decided to eat at the bar since we were there a bit early. The female hostess and bartender (I am assuming she was the manager) was so friendly and was checking on us constantly to see if we had ordered drinks and food. I started with a vodka soda. Not very good due to the soda being flat so the next drink I ordered was the old fashioned. It was much better and made proper. I ordered the pasta with clams in spicy red sauce. My wife ordered the spinach lasagna. Both were delicious. I highly recommend Barsotti's if you want good italian and are in the Dallas area. Try eating at the bar where it was more personable. read more

The food was nice, but nothing to write home about. The service was nice but slow... It really sucks having to wave down someone to get another drink. The place was clean and neat. It got busy, but not really sure why.. My appetizers were pretty good maybe just a bit better than the lasagna I ordered Everything was pretty good, but not really worth the money read more

The veal piccata and chicken parm is absolutely incredible. This place always hits the spots, one of our favorites in Dallas!

Got the linguine with red sauce. It was very tasty. My bf got the tortellini and he said it was the best pasta he's ever had in his life. Service was excellent! read more

This place is amazing and I really wish I wouldn't tell you. This is my top choice for pasta. They make all the own pasta fresh and everything on the menu is excellent. Sometimes it's hard to make up my mind. Their salads are fresh and they put the exact right amount of dressing on them to enhance all the flavors. The wine menu has something for everyone and is reasonable priced. The service is attentive and friendly and they all know the menu and will give you excellent recommendations based on what you're feeling. Their remodel is homey and sophisticated. It is recommended to call and make a reservation. I love this place and highly recommend. read more

I absolutely love their lasagna! It is always so fresh and taste delicious! There are not too many Italian places in Dallas that provide genuine tasty Italian food. Bardotti's does not miss! They are my go to for good food! read more

not very busy for 530 on a Saturday night. OK by me. Had meatballs in sauce, they were good though IMO, not as tender as I like them. also had clams linguine. Thankfully only one or two grains of sand detected. There were a ton of clams, nine in all and other clam pieces mixed in with the pasta. Unfortunately, about half of the clams in the shell work very chewy. Nice server. read more

Had a great time at Barsotti's! We enjoyed the Shrimp Scampi - it was light and refreshing. Other dishes - lobster pasta and chicken parm - were not as noteworthy but still satisfying. Chocolate cake was not up to par. Ambience was nice but a little loud. Service was solid. read more

Love the refreshed space. Authentic dishes with large portions. Service was efficient.

We love Barsotti's. We have been treated so well here by all the members of the staff. Our experience is likely due to finding a seat at the bar both times and getting to speak with bartenders and managers--because it is HARD to get a regular table on a weekend without a reservation, so make sure to reserve one earlier. Pros: The food is phenomenal and large portions--everything we've had from the Ricotta and Garlic Bread, Caesar salad (honestly the best I've ever had), Creste Sunday Gravy (DO NOT MISS OUT ON THIS), Chicken Parm Vodka, and Lasagna Bolognese. Yum yum yum. We also have tried their tequila spritz and the negroni with prosecco, and we love both of those. Again, the people are all wonderful. The atmosphere is beautiful. We never got to experience the restaurant when it was Carbone's, but we got to hear from the manager how they renovated the entire interior. It's such a cool vibe inside. Cons: It can get VERY loud and, if you're sitting at the bar, people will awkwardly crowd behind you. It's strange to have a nice meal with no personal space. read more

The linguini shrimp scampi was delicious! I didn't think I would eat the whole plate but I couldn't stop. The shrimp was cooked perfectly. The service was slow though and we found ourselves looking around for them a lot but there seemed to be only two on staff (and one also was the bartender). read more

Wonderful neighborhood spot!! Some of the best Italian food in the city. Such a bustling, beautiful place with a solid menu to choose from. Their bruschetta is some of the best I've had. Their tortellini vodka is great but their lasagna is PHENOMENAL. Great drink selection too. Service is good, not too pushy but still attentive. Highly recommend! read more

First of all, your menu is lacking information. Not much detail about the entrees. The style of pasta should be stated, i.e., angel hair or is there a choice? The waitress must have been having a bad day or very new at her job. Huffed when asked about the red wine. Know if the wine is dry or sweet. Light body, heavy body? Know what type of pasta is on a dish. "Fan pasta" as on the creste does not tell me anything, and please don't huff at me again for asking. The restaurant was not crowded at lunch. No refills on drinks. Not asked if we wanted dessert. Not given a dessert menu when asked. She recited names of 3 desserts available. One person in the group had a half salad for her entree at half price, $8.00. Her bill came with an added tip of $8.75 which was the added tip amount that all other10 guests received. If your entree costs $8.00, the tip should not be what my entree of $30.00 was. The music was screaching loud. How about some Italian dinner music in an "Italian" restaurant. A very disappointing experience for a group that dines out often. read more

Had a great lunch today. Perfect spot and such great service. Alex is amazing and so friendly. Highly recommend!!

Let me first say that I love Julian Barsotti's other concepts. I'm a regular at Nonna & Fachini (great Italian spots). This was my first time eating at Barsotti's and I was very underwhelmed. I'm giving them 3 stars because I love his other restaurants but this experience felt more like a 2 :/ The best thing we ordered was the chopped antipasta salad. It was good but I prefer the one from Il Bracco. My fiancé ordered the linguine shrimp scampi for his entree and I got the spaghetti with plum tomatoes. Unfortunately, I didn't realize mine would be over al dente noodles with a glorified marinara sauce. I thought the dish would be more of a butter, garlic, and wine sauce with blistered tomatoes. The shrimp scampi was pretty lemony and the shrimp seemed a little fishy for my taste. And the wines we had were super disappointing for an Italian restaurant. Really wanted to like this place. Hope this was just an off night for them. Food presentation and restaurant were beautiful! read more

Cool old school vibe, great service, and the food... we had garlic bread with ricotta and fried calamari - both excellent. For entree I had the chicken Parmesan with vodka rigatoni. Everything was VERY good! read more

Went here with my friend tonight and it was delightful. Mario our waiter was amazing and helped me decide between the hard choice of pastas. I went with the linguine shrimp scampi and my friend got the ravioli with ricotta and spinach. Both were delicious! ALSO the ricotta with garlic bread was a 10/10 recommend. The atmosphere was relaxing and cozy. read more

Been here for both lunch and dinner. The sandwiches for lunch are all wonderful. For dinner, you can't go with anything wrong on the menu, but the Veal Parm is my go to. Great drinks too - crisp martinis and a variety of spritzes that are delightful. read more

I love this place, I went here two weeks after going to Carbone and for some reason I might like this one just a little bit better. It's not as luxurious. It has a simpler aesthetic, but the food is just as good. The servers were super attentive and gave great recommendations for us to try. The garlic bread, chefs, kiss, and the tortellini chefs kiss as well. I would definitely come back. read more

Barsotti’s - Garlic bread - Italian Near Me - Dallas, Texas

First time at the new incarnation and it was like night and day...all for the better. The space feels/looks very inviting and sets the mood for the food to follow...so let's get started! Wines by the Glass were fine and the cocktails icy cold. Next we split the Antipasto Salad which would have been way too much for one person; the chop was small, but if that's my only complaint... The main courses and sides came next and there was enough of everything to eat family-style...the way Italian should be eaten! Chicken Parm cooked nice and crispy with a side of pasta/red sauce, Cacio e Pepe' (which wasn't on the menu last night, but they were happy to make it), Calabrian Asparagus and Spicy Broccoli Rabe...It was all fantastic! Unfortunately, there was no room for dessert, but I did get a double espresso to end a Great Dinner! **If there was any complaint, it would be that it gets quite loud at times, but it was basically the sound of happy patrons enjoying themselves! read more
