Barone's Restaurant

We went here and had the worst experience. We went in and they told us the kitchen was closed. It was somewhat late (8:45) and was understandable. No problem at that point. We had a couple of drinks in the bar filled with mostly old men. Two men come in and sit at the table directly next to us. The owner tells them of course they can have food. That would not have been so bad, but the waitress that told us the kitchen was closed passes by us, takes their order and passes us to go the kitchen, passes us again without a word with food for their table. Then two people come in off the street, they seat them in the restaurant and they order food. Only after that, the waitress comes over and offers us food. We were so annoyed that we rejected it at that point even though I was starving. Their wine was over priced and that was one of the worst experiences I have ever had. We live in Pleasanton and will never go back again. Totally rude behavior!\r more

My roommate called from Bonero's in Pleasanton and said she was allergic to something there. I picked her up and had to get immediate attention. the restaurant said it was the bread. more

I have visited Barone's each of my past two visits to the area. My first trip the food was wonderful with service and atmosphere to match. My second visit did not live up to the first. Same wonderful atmosphere, but this time the service was horrendous. The server hardly acknowledged us while she swooned over two tables of repeat customers. The entrees were excellent, and decent sized (not huge), but I do not recommend the calamari. If I return I will request a different server. Pros: Entrees, Ambeonce Cons: Spotty Service more
