The Scene – Its stone's-throw proximity to several major downtown hotels and minimally chic, alabaster-and-eggshell aesthetic attract a well-heeled business crowd and sprinkling of youthful, amorous couples. While waiting for a spot at one of the long, communal tables or a more private, smaller table, diners gather around the dramatically lit, white marble bar, sipping signature cocktails and nibbling on artisan bread served with dark dollops of olive tapanade. – – The Food – The approach the kitchen takes with the Northern Italian menu is significantly different from…

Happy Hour is the Best!
by hlpfl88 at Citysearch
You can't beat the happy hour at this place. It starts at 10pm and goes til midnight. Loooove their calamari spaghetti and grilled caesar salad. The bar is a tad small, and it's really loud at times, (hence, the minus one star), but the food is insane, especially for the pricing.

Amazing Northern Italian Food
by jas19 at Citysearch
I had been to Barolo several times for happy hour (which is great by the way!) but was SO excited to try them on my birthday and they definitely delivered. First of all, the happy hour is amazing. $14 bottles of wine and half prices appetizers that do not skimp on the portions. My girl friend and I had two appetizers and a salad and we couldn't finish it all! I think our total bill was $23.
The dinner is definitely a must visit for special nights out. My boyfriend had the veal- meltingly tender and falling off the bone in a rich sauce. I had a velvety truffle leek pasta- we seriously could not have asked for a more exquisite meal.
We skipped the desserts on the menu in favor of port- good choice since everything was so filling! I would absolutely go back for my boyfriend's birthday but until the next special event, I'll keep myself satisfied with the lovely happy hour.
- Pros: happy hour, dinner, ambiance, pasta

Worth the trip from Austin, TX
by sherdman at Citysearch
Came into town on business. Was told by local business owner this was the place to eat. I didn't have reservations but showed up anyway. The owners and staff squeezed us in despite being booked. Took care of us with the highest respect, attentiveness, and care. Food was just like my grandmother's and ambiance perfect for all ages (not too loud yet fun and hip). Clean, neat, knowledgable staff. 100% classy all the way. Just the way I like it. I am a marketing mgr for a fortune 100 company and pay attn to detail. Being Italian myself, I will be back for SURE upon my return into town! Thank you to the entire staff & ownership at Barolo!
- Pros: They take care of you like family
- Cons: Too full for dessert

Small portions of mediocre food
by DKumari at Citysearch
Despite the very lovely ambience and friendly staff, I found the food quite average. I will say that they serve a very tasty salad that includes truffle oil (delicious) but everything else was disappointing. The spaghetti with scallops basically was a LOT of oil on spaghetti and a few SHAVED tiny pieces of scallops. The chocolate tortini was about the size of a Hershey kiss and the mixed drinks from the bar were weak. Downtown has many better restaurant options.
