Barbalu Restaurant

farfalle bolognese

I went to City Winery for a concert and the experience was very pleasant. Before I even got there they impressed me with their online ticket buying system. Once I arrived, I found the layout of the room and the décor very agreeable. The staff was friendly, the sound for the show was good, the wine and snacks were tasty and it wasn't that expensive.

Not everything with CW is A+. The staff is good, but the service is kind of slow. I get the impression that the ratio of service people to patrons isn't balanced enough to maintain quick service. And I only found one unisex bathroom for a room that might sit 300 or more people. I hope there are other bathrooms. You can't have that many people drinking wine without running into problems, especially when couples decide to sneak inside the bathroom during the show to have sex (Yes, I saw you two slip in there after I left. I hope you had fun.)

Even with those problems, City Winery is a quality spot in the same category as Blue Note, SOB's and BB Kings. It might actually be better than all those places.

Have fun.

This particular Dunkin Donuts location made great coffee! Hmm... but their donut selection isn't that good though. The staff were friendly. Great service & the place is pretty clean.

Nice restaurant at the Historic Seaport. Definitely try it out for some great pastas. We were a party of 6 and they made the effort to split the bill via all of our credit cards. We really appreciated this and made it for a great experience from start to finish.

Authentic Italian prepared by an expert chef from Italy. The food is outstanding. The house-made pasta is incredibly delicious.
They have some imported Italian beer and a very extensive wine selection. The atmosphere is very nice, on the classy side without the need for formal attire. Very good choice for a romantic date night.
The staff is friendly and professional.
The prices are very fair, and even lower than other neighborhood restaurants of lessor quality.
You can't go wrong here, simply excellent.
