"The Baracca has been a long time favourite of ours when in London anywhere near Barbican. It’s a family run place that has delighted our family for over 25 years. We don’t get to go too often these days, but their food never disappoints us...or our friends. It was steadily busy for a Tuesday but the greeting was warm and welcoming. Ray doesn’t change one jot and can’t do enough to see you happy. There were six of us and we sat in the glass atrium which was lovely and warm on a cold March evening. The Baracca has grown over the years and whilst it never resembled its Italian namesake of a “shack”, it is good, traditional Italian fair. Nothing glitzy just because it’s the latest fashion, but always an interesting Chef’s Specials board. We had a sharing selection of appetisers including Parma ham, bruschetta (both tomato and mushroom ones), and calamari all served with baby leaf spinach. The calamari is freshly deep fried and not over cooked. All it needs is their scrummy tartare sauce, a squeeze of lemon and Ray’s big pepper grinder! The bruschetta are like crunchy garlic bread, loaded with salsa. Just don’t get too carried away or you’ll not have room for the next course. No draft beers here, but a Peroni or a Campari always hits the spot, as do the house red and white (available by the jug). We had mains that included steak tartare, various delightful filled pasta dishes and a delicious carbonara and a garlic stuffed chicken breast sorpresa. Pasta dishes start at £8.50 which for London we reckon is very reasonable. Yes, you can splash out on one of their Specialities, like a traditional Tournedo Rossini for £23.50, but a tasty chicken dish for under a tenner can’t be bad. Either way you won’t be disappointed, before or after your show at the Barbican Centre. There are salads and seasonal vegetables on offer. I always think they are a bit basic compared to the latest drive to eat a rainbow and could be larger and more Italian, but so many people just don’t eat veg maybe it’s not worth the effort. I’m just a big salad lover! If you are tempted to eat more carbs, the Sweets will not disappoint! Lemon pancakes (crepes), tiramisu and panna cotta are 3 stunning favourites for around a fiver. You’d pay more for this quality elsewhere. And then there are full flavoured Italian coffees and liqueurs to round off that perfect meal. Service can be slow, otherwise they’d get a well deserved 5 stars but just ask if you feel you need more attention. Nothing is too much trouble."

My wife and myself enjoyed lovely pre-theatre pasta meals last Monday evening. The service was exemplary and the food wonderful. If attending The Barbican theatre or cinema, I can't recommend highly enough. Excellent value for money too. We'll definitely return!

it was the third time I visited the restaurant with my man. we were greeted by the same Romanian waiter who made his job at the highest level again. we are very satisfied with the services of the restaurant, but above all with this young one. who works there. we will definitely come back.
Becky
Great Italian restaurant with classic dishes I had two classic dishes, Prawn and Avocado cocktail and Steak Diane. Both were delicious well cooked and presented. I finished off with a rich and creamy Tiramisu. My guest had Tiger prawns starter and Spaghetti bolognese...followed by apple pie and cream. The restaurant was busy but service was quick and efficient. Definitely to be recommended.
Marianna
First time visit for my wife and I to the Barbican theatre to see the very entertaining Anything Goes followed by our first time at Baracca where we both enjoyed a first class early evening meal. We had three courses all of which were excellent,...especially the two different fillet steak mains. The service was first rate also with all the staff being extremely helpful, highly efficient and friendly. Not surprising the restaurant was virtually full by as early as 6.30. We will certainly return when next in this area of London.
Erika
on Tuesday at 5.30 a.m. to eat with the squeeze in front of a jazz gig in barbican, which is just a few minutes to walk away. a gin tonic two large glasses accompanied by a montepulciano screw white bait appetizer with nets...from leber speck salbei (excellent) and a fish special (also very well preserved) with mixed veg, spinat and mushrooms as side. a pleasant experience and would use again (although the 1st floor toilets need better lighting and signs). personal pleasant and helpful. decent Italian menu (many veneer dishes as well as some specialties and a relaxed feeling for the restaurant. £81 including 10% (their choice) top. 90 minutes spent well.
