Bareli's Restaurant and Bar

Food and service are top notch. The restaurant and menu were recently updated. The chef will prepare anything they have in the kitchen anyway you like it. You have to try the meatballs.

Nice place and great staff. Everyone was very nice and ready to please. We were there for Valentine's Day and enjoyed ourselves a lot. Stayed far beyond dessert at our table and there was no pressure at all for us to hurry up and move from our table. In fact Leo ( not sure if he is the owner or just a manager) bought us a round just because while we sat there talking. Now to the food. The food was good. My wife's Chilean Sea Bass and broccoli Rabe were great. I had the filet mignon which was good but not great. But who goes to an Italian restaurant for steak. Don't get me wrong it was not bad in any way but the sauce missed the mark for me. Dessert was good and we'll definitely be back to try the pasta and some more fish. Customer service was top notch from start to finish and I would definitely recommend it.

Good food. Nice atmosphere. Friendly staff. Lovely piano bar with well-mixed drinks. Quite expensive but worth it, especially for those occasions when you have something to celebrate.

Dear George,

Just a note to say THANK YOU for making my wife Carol's and mine 37th wedding anniversary dinner at Barelli's restaurant (July 1, 2015) as memorable as the day we were married. It was as if you knew we were going there for dinner because that's how you made us feel with every song you played and sang to. How could you have known?! Trust me when I say that I don't have a musical fiber in my whole body. Nor can I carry a tune worth a dime. But as you know, music is such that when it is played and performed by a professional entertainer such as yourself, magic seems to happen within those who do not possess such an extravagant gift from God himself. In reality, you made a grand present for us with that gift that was given to you.
No doubt we will be back at Barelli's and I'll tell you why. We had a gift card in my pocket for the meal we enjoyed but you swept us away down Memory Lane so far that we forgot we even had it with us, LOL!! So we'll just have to come back again and use it.
Of all the people you may personally know in your field of work, maybe I'm the only taxidermist who ever sent you an email of appreciation and I assure you it is very well deserved to say the least. Once again, thanks so much for playing your sound for us tonight, you made us fall in love all over again!!!

Most sincerely and with all best wishes,

John and Carol Janelli

Upscale Italian restaurant with excellent food, friendly service, an extensive wine list, and a great atmosphere. They have live music on the weekends. I highly recommend it!
