Contrary to popular belief, when the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's a lawsuit. Enjoy Italian cuisine without fear of physical reprisal with today's Groupon: for $16, you get $35 worth of Italian fare and drinks at Barbaresco Restaurant and Bar on San Pedro Avenue.
Backdropped by a dramatic mural depicting a windblown violinist before a menacing tree, Barbaresco Restaurant and Bar juxtaposes enormous works of bold art with natural woods and the simple elegance of its Tuscan-themed menu. Served in a cast-iron pot of tomato sauce, the beef-and-veal Campagnia-style meatballs ($9.50) enclose such delicious secrets as molten Buffalo-mozzarella centers and forgotten childhood dreams. Penne rigate comes tossed with gorgonzola-cheese sauce and piquant walnuts ($13.95), while scampi piccanti ($23.95) delivers spicy, sauteed shrimp with shallots and garlic in beer sauce. A 20-ounce bone-in rib eye ($31.95) dresses up steak cravings with sangiovese-wine sauce, poblano scalloped potatoes, and crispy leeks. For after-dinner sweets, savor the tiramisu ($8.50), a cocktail-like concoction of ladyfinger cake, chocolate- and espresso-flavored mascarpone, liquid caramel, and sunshine—all soaked with Marsala and Kahlua and served in a martini glass.
Plenty of wines are available from Barbaresco for launching stomach celebrations or intoxicating the mouth-people. Floors made of tree parts and ceiling supports and creatively chunked together by mismatched patches of wood make Barbaresco a charming locale for giving in to your body’s constant insistence that it be nourished.
