I went to the Barocco with one my best buddy. We like to think that we are foodies and understand what it takes for a place to be successful.
We had a spot at the bar (we like to be close to the action). Food was very good. We had oysters as appetizers and we shared a rib roast for 2. Plenty of meat for two guys.
I would say that the decor and atmosphere is an acquired taste. We had the feeling that there were a lot of tourists (nothing wrong with that given the location), but that's not really what we expected.
Barman/waiter was super nice though.
Checked off the list, but will probably not going to be back given the other places that we want to try!
