It was our first trip to Iowa City and we decided to dine at Baroncini based on the chef's previous experience at one of our favorite restaurants in DC. And we were not disappointed. The food is wonderful, the service was excellent, the wine list thoughtful and reasonable and the owner is delightful. We liked it so much, we returned... More

It's been 9 months since I was last in Italy. Dinner at Baroncini took me back to the beautiful Umbrian countryside with an array of amazing, authentic dishes that tasted more like Italy than any other U.S. restaurant where I've ever dined. Baroncini was culinary perfection. It was so exceptional that the fact that the carpaccio was lightly browned seems... More

The staff was nice the food was great. Try the salmon it was one of the best I've had. Interesting Italian beer selection the Re Ale is fantastic.

Spinach porcini flan, tenderloin, spinach ravioli, and chocolate hazelnut cake. Need I say more? We had reservations, and a half hour wait at the bar, but the bartender kept us entertained talking about the wines so it was pleasant.

This is a nice, intimate restaurant, not fancy but very comfortable. The food is definitely quality, made to order Italian. For appetizers we had the carpaccio (excellent) and a special sea food salad. The seafood was very tasty--excellent, fresh mussels etc. For entrees I had the Linguine Bolognese. The pasta was fresh and the bolognese was like home made, with... More

As an airline pilot I travel all over the World. When I am home in Iowa I always choose Baroncini to go to for special occasions. The food is always fresh. The service is attentive. And the food as good as you will get in an Italian restaurant in Italy. The chef is Italian and knows his stuff. It is... More

I liked it! I couldn't believe I tried squid ink pasta, but it was magnifique. I love the bread and the drinks. Never had anything I didn't enjoy.

We had a reservation for New Year's Eve made well in advance. When we arrived, the manager claimed to know nothing about it. She was rude and did not try to accommodate us. It was a very unsettling experience. The owner needs to do a better job of training his staff to be courteous and helpful. We will not return.

So glad I chose Baroncini for dinner tonight. The blizzard howled outside, but this fine eatery was warm and cozy and an absolute delight. It was difficult to make up my mind ~ everything on the menu was enticing. Finally settled on maccheroni (all pastas freshly house made) with sausage and onions in a sauce that, among other things, had... More
