Barberio Osteria is a neighborhood Italian restaurant by Chef Nick Kelly and Sommelier Calli Martinez of Altovino (Nob Hill, SF) together with partner and General Manager Saul Magana (Perbacco, Foreign Cinema, Prospect). The cuisine is regional Italian, drawing inspiration from traditional recipes in concert with California's local produce, meats, fish and other seasonal offerings. The wine list is approximately 100 SKUs of mostly Italian bottlings with some Champagne for good measure.
“Excellent meal! I came on a Tuesday night for a solo meal and was treated so so well. The server gave me several excellent selections including a citrus salad I probably wouldn't have otherwise tried. I also had the squash ravioli and papardelle, everything was perfectly cooked and flavorful. The ambiance was very nice and comfortable, neither too formal nor too fasual. Very surprised the restaurant wasn't more busy, but definitely take advantage of that before everyone finds out it's so delicious.”
“Barberio Osteria has been on my "want to try" list for a while, so I was excited to see them on the Restaurant Week lineup. My husband and I decided to go and noticed there was plenty of reservation availability online, so we opted to walk in. We were seated right away, although next time I might book ahead since it looked like reservations offered more options (e.g., counter vs. standard seating). No big deal though - it was fun watching the hustle and bustle of the open kitchen (even if it got a little warm near the wood-burning grill). Since there were two of us, we were able to try almost everything on the RW menu (everything except the cappelletti), while also getting glimpses of other dishes being prepped in the kitchen. As a pasta fan, I was especially excited for the pappardelle with bolognese, and it did not disappoint. Everything we tried was delicious — shoutout to the tonno e fagioli too! Even though it was a busy night, the staff were attentive and quick to respond. I'm looking forward to coming back soon and trying some of their non-RW items!”
“From start to finish, the service was stellar. Everyone had warm smiles and welcomed us in. Food was incredible. We sat at the bar and witnessed all the food being prepared. We got the papperadelle and red snapper special. DELICIOUS! The team is hard working. Great local place to support.”
“Truly one of the best meals of my life. The food was absolutely perfect. Don't miss the bagna cauda....warm garlic anchovy olive oil bath that you'll want to drink out of the ramekin. The 40 yolk pasta was so good we ordered two more! And we ordered another ravioli because it blew us away. The steak and branzino nearly made me pass out because they were so goddamn delicious. Honestly I haven't had a meal this good in years. The service was excellent also. These guys know what they're doing, please eat here, it's incredible!!!”
“Romantic, trendy spot on Valencia. I’m surprised at how easy it was to get a Saturday night reservation the day-off, but it was to my benefit — would definitely come back for dinner with friends before a night out. Great wine list, excellent pastas and the market fish was super filling. My personal favorite was salty, rich mushroom ravioli, but others really liked the red sauce.”
