Great restaurant. It’s nice to have such a quality restaurant in our area. The pasta was so good, made fresh in the restaurant. Love the atmosphere and the background music. What could have been better? We could have been seated in the dining area with the nicer table locations instead of a part booth part table in the bar area. The restaurant had only a couple of other customers at the time, so there were plenty of tables available, as we were there for dinner. Street parking seemed to be the only option.

Went here for a celebration dinner. The seating by the windows was lovely. The server was very helpful answering questions and didn’t rush us. All the appetizers, meat/fish entree’s, and desserts we tried tasted delicious. A bit pricey, but we knew this from looking at their menu online beforehand.

This was a great place for a date night! The atmosphere was classy but casual, and everything was great. Our server was very helpful. He added smoke to my old fashioned right in front of me which was pretty cool! The food was excellent; I just wish there was more of it! Overall, this was a great experience.

Bari is an excellent option for a night out in Cedar Rapids. It’s definitely one of the top Italian places in the area. We made reservations on a Thursday night before a show at Theatre CR.

We went here for the 1st time for our wedding anniversary. Loved the atmosphere and the help. Our waitress was able to answer our questions and ensured we were taken care of during our whole visit. We will definitely be going again.

There were 4 of us & we had 4 different entrees. We were all very happy with our choices. Caitlin our server couldn’t have been better. On the downside I would recommend not getting the calamari. It was tough & chewy. I have also never been to an Italian restaurant that didn’t serve warm bread with olive oil & cheese with the meal. Dissappointing

We have been wanting to try BARI for quite some time. We wanted to eat local today and use our BARI gift card we had been hoarding, so my husband called and made a reservation right after work for 8:15pm. We made it right on time, and we were seated right away. The atmosphere was very relaxing and more upscale, but we didn’t feel out of place wearing jeans and a t-shirt. The menu was smaller than we had anticipated, but the variety was epic. We had the grilled sourdough with whipped ricotta for an appetizer (I could have just ate a whole plate of this for dinner), my husband had the lasagna (he rated it right up there with his all-time favorite lasagna recipe that his mom makes lol), and I had the alfredo with added chicken. I had originally wanted to try the housemade egg noodle dish, but they were sold out for the evening. Our meals did not disappoint! The flavors were incredible. Tony was very prompt and communicative during our meal as our server. He served us a delicious tiramisu to share for dessert. We are so happy we FINALLY went! We will definitely be back sooner vs. later.

My husband and I came in for dinner and were seated right away. Our waiter Tony was absolutely amazing and so attentive! The food was fantastic as well, I got the chicken parmesan and it was delicious. My favorite part though, was the orange raspberry cheesecake!
