Delicious authentic Italian place - absolute must try the spaghetti alle vongole - first place outside Italy I've had it so good. Need to go back to try other Roman favourites like Carbonara and Amatriciana. Short but good wine list and byo also welcome.
Very busy place. We ordered the duck pappardelle and squid ink crab pasta. The duck pasta had like a gravy sauce which I thought was odd for a pasta, despite it being their specialty I think the other meals are much better just because of that sauce. It needed a bit more flavour also. The squid ink and crab pasta was tasty. Looking at other people's food I had major food envy for the prawn pasta though, it looked the best by far.
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.

It's a simple concept here. The menu is on a large piece of butchers paper on the wall. There's a specials menu that's another piece of paper. The list of food options is not lengthy, but there's plenty of choice. They don't stand on ceremony here, but the food and service speaks volumes. We started with a serving of garlic bread while we studied both menu's and made our next selections.
Brilliant place for family meals. Very friendly staff. Great fresh food with authentic flavours. Not a very extensive menu but a good menu
Friendly neighbourhood trattoria dishing up superb homemade pastas and simple salads. Luckily my Gnocchi Gorgonzola was on point, otherwise I would have had massive food envy over the Papardelle with Duck Ragu!
No dinner bookings, so just rock up with your BYO and remember to bring cash as credit cards are not accepted.
Little Italian place in surry hills serving freshly made pastas and other italian dishes. They have a menu which changes regularly and a specials board. We ordered from the specials and got a couple of dishes to share. Starting with the thinly sliced cappachio that was topped with rocket and parmesan. We got the risotto with porchini mushrooms. which was quite a strong taste and rice cooked al dente. We also got the duck ragu, deliciously slow cooked meat on a fettuccine as well as the gnocchi gorgonzola. This was very cheesy and always a standout. Accompanied with a salad of lettuce, tomato and olives. The pastas are reasonably priced and good sized servings. It came out so fast, I don't even know how it was cooked! If your heart desires it they have desserts and the ever famous tiramisu. Staff were all super nice and even the chefs said hello.
Wow - the food here was incredible! We ate at Il Baretto after jumping onto Zomato in fact, looking for a good place to eat in Surry Hills. Well, this place lived up to it's rating! Some of the tastiest Italian food we've ever tried - very authentic, too. Service was excellent too - the girls who served us were lovely. Just remember to bring cash with you otherwise you'll be in for a walk up the hill to the closest ATM! Highly recommended.
I loved this place that first time I went there..definitely my type of restaurant because I'm pasta addicted!
I had one of the greatest prawn pastas here and came back after a month to eat it again and it was gone!!!! So devastated but the other pasta options were great...this prawn pasta was cooked in prawn oil.....Drool! We also had the gnocchi Gorgonzola here and that was amazing.
Il Baretto is a great place to chill with your friends with a glass of wine and good food. They have BYO and serve the wine in long glasses which makes it feel super cosy and comfortable!
Loved this place bring back the prawn pasta!!!!
Special service. Excellent gnocchi and polenta with chorizo. A very wonderful place to spend an evening. You might wait a while to get a seat but it is definitely worth the wait. Have the panna cotta, you will not regret the choice!
Great little place that serves good honest food. Friendly and helpful service. Highly recommend to anyone. Relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. We had the squid and garlic bread for starters, Gnocchi Gorgonzola, Beef Lasagna, Carbonara and Penne as mains. The coffee is great too.
BYO pasta house in surry hills. Vongole was good, but wouldve been better if it was a bit suacier. Carbonara, the eggs were a bit over cooked, but okay. Duck ragu? It was alright... pretty decent place for a quick pasta, but certainly not the most amazing place. BYO is would be the key reason why i would revisit, of i do... also keep in mind you can only keep the table for 1.5 hours
One of my favourite restaurants in Sydney! The food never dissapoints.
Thier must try dishes are the Mushroom Risotto, Parpedelle Duck Ragu, and Saltimbocca with pan fried potatoes (special only available sometimes!) Also thier Bruschetta is a must to start.
The staff are fantastic - Brendan always provides a great chat when he's in! It's always a pleasure to dine at il baretto, thank you to such a great institutaion.
This place is my partner and I's "local' italian restraunt and we live an hour away!!!

Some of the best pasta and my favourite place in Sydney to eat Italian. My favourite is the papardelle with ragu, and the risotto. Only downside is that you can’t book and it’s cash only - please get an EFTPOS machine! Parking is usually pretty easy in the area too.
