It had been a while since our last visit to Barolo grill and we noticed some updates to their menu offerings. Our server walked us through his favorite options. We opted for the four course tasting menu and could not have been happier with our selections. Highly recommend the Fritto Misto as an appetizer - the grilled lemon crema is delicious. The Agnolotti di zucca was amazing, especially with our wine pairing. The sage brown butter it was cooked in was incredible. Highly recommend and look forward to our next visit.

Super cute place! Our server was great & gave excellent service! Food was delicious. Just wish we could choose our flavor of macaroon and that the max time limit would be two hours. It felt rushed (per time passing, not our server ) and we packed up our desserts to go. Overall, acute little tea with the girls. I would definitely come back again.
