Lets start with the Caprese salad, straightforward ingredients and simple assembly. Disappointing the way it was plated up. Arriving on the table, the bocconcini, tomato wedges and tiny strips of basil leaves were randomly scattered of the plate, not even enough basil to cater for the 4 servings or dressing. I have ordered this salad and made it many times, each bocconcini horizontal segment is topped with a sliced tomato and basil leave/s on top then drizzled with olive oil and vinegar. This is how it should be presented to the diner as an assembled portion, not this messy affair of forking each item to your entree plate. The way food looks plated up is what arouses and makes you want to ta...

Went there a while ago. Had the carpaccio, the ragu and panna cotta. Carpaccio was nice and light. Papadelle was proper all dente (what you want in pasta) but not much duck in the ragu. The panna cotta with the chocolate syrup was probably the best even tho the syrup made it a bit on the sweet side. Overall I enjoyed my evening there and since most, probably not all, of the pasta is freshly made, which should be commended.

Il Baretto is an unpretentious and cozy Italian family restaurant located along Bourke Street. I ordered the Bruschetta al Pomodoro and Pork Cheek Pasta. The Bruschetta was toasted for too long and tasted dry and hard. The pork cheek pasta was alright but nothing special.
Came for lunch on a Thursday. Really friendly service- waitress was attentive but didn't hover. Food was served in a timely manner. The porcini risotto was okay but nothing extraordinary- bordering on bland.
Brilliant place for family meals. Very friendly staff. Great fresh food with authentic flavours. Not a very extensive menu but a good menu
