Average at best and I’ve written hundreds of unbiased reviews so I really don’t wish to get into all the details. I can honestly say service is far and above better than their food. If you wish to hang and have a casual drink with conversation, this is a good spot. Anyone thinking of dining… well don’t say I didn’t warn you.My review is based on a Saturday night 8 PM experience and the restaurant was a 1/4 full. It’s gotta be for a good reason.

This is true Italian cuisine. All the pasta was perfectly cooked (Gnocchi, Tagliatelle, Spaghetti, Pene). The sauces were delicious! The Arancini was amusing. No food was left when we left.I highly recommend eating here! You will not be disappointed.

Bar Parioli blew me away with its charm, but it was Sofie behind the bar who made the experience unforgettable. Her energy was welcoming, her knowledge impressive, and her cocktails? Next level.I ordered an espresso martini on a whim, and I’m still thinking about it. Perfectly balanced, rich and smooth with that signature creamy top—and those three espresso beans just sitting like a crown. It wasn’t just a drink, it was a vibe. Easily one of the best I’ve had in the city.If you’re looking for a spot that nails both atmosphere and quality drinks, Bar Parioli is it. And if you’re lucky enough to sit at Sofie’s bar, trust me—you’re in good hands.

I have ordered twice from Bar Parioli, an offshoot/restaurant rebranding of its parent restaurant, Botte.I have actually never tried Botte, but learned after I ordered that this restaurant is affiliated with them and located within the same space. My review is based on a few delivery orders placed, as I have not dined in.So far, I have tried a few things from the menu: (Pricing below indicative of Ubereats/Postmates pricing)1st order:-Rigatoni vodka w (Sausage add-on) - $21.00-Fried calamari and zucchini - $17-Olive Oil and Flaky Sea Salt Focaccia - $8Total: $57.932nd order:-Chicken Parmigiana w Rigatoni - $25-Pesto Rigatoni w (Sausage add-on) - $21-Caesar Salad w (chicken add-on) - $20-Fried calamari and Zucchini - $17-Olive Oil and Flaky Sea Salt Focaccia - $8Total:$110.06Not great, but not altogether bad for today's market.While I would not consider myself a lover of overly sauced pasta dishes, the spicy vodka rigatoni dish was on the drier side and could have used a bit more vodka sauce. Not looking for them to be overcooked, but the rigatoni was not as supple as they could have been and seemed dried out. Sausage was hearty and cut into big chunks to accompany the pasta, but was not really incorporated into the dish and was thrown on top as the add on, leading me to believe that the actual pasta was not properly tossed, but seemed to be prepared separately. The portion was also on the smaller side, so if you are thinking of splitting this entree with someone, you will need to buy some additional sides in order to make it a filling meal.The chicken parmigiana w rigatoni was more generously sauced, but I had some textural issues with the chicken, which I did not enjoy and would not get again.The calamari and zucchini were fine. I love fried calamari and zucchini so no complaints, but you will need to reheat this appetizer upon arrival as the container does not have any ventilation holes and it will get soggy.The focaccia, was more flatbread adjacent than what I was used to/expecting and was nothing special. For the $8, you can skip it. The other two options (sesame and oregano or calabrian chili focaccia) were not as exciting either and were more expensive.Botte actually had a rosemary option listed on their menu and i think they could stand to perhaps include.Caesar salad...was a caesar salad. Again, nothing to write home about.I am a lover of pesto and was extremely disappointed in the entree. Sometimes pesto can be hit or miss...too salty, too oily. The latter was the case and the pasta was swimming in oil and the sausage that I purchased to include was ground and was completely lost in the pasta and not at all detectable or similar to the rigatoni vodka dish's sausage. The pool of oil made the dish inedible and it needed to be tossed. I would not get that again.I wanted to give them another shot, but called the restaurant to inquire how the pesto dish would be prepared, but between the noise and language barrier, it was impossible to confirm, so I decided to order elsewhere that evening.All in all not a bad place, but like most restaurants, there is definitely room for improvement.
