The food was not hot when it came out and it took forever. I've not had a good dining experience at Baratta's the last few times I've been there and I won't be going back anytime soon. I talked about my experience with some friends and they, too had similar experiences. It is too bad - it used to be much better but now it is like a punishment to eat there.

Average to mediocre Italian food that can be
topped by any number of restaurants in Des Moines and elsewhere. Noah's Ark is much, much better
Italian food. Will not eat at Baratta's again.
Great service, ordinary food.

The best salad dressing in Des Moines. Beyond that the cavatelli is good, the Jamaican jerk sandwich is really good and it's some of the best pizza you'll find anywhere. It's worth a visit.

They have this piano guy that plays on certain days. Would definitely recommend going when he is there. Creates a wonderful ambience.

Barrattas is a cool place. The food is great...but the dining areas could look a lot better. The prices are pretty good too.

A little overrated. They recently raised prices quite a bit and their food didn't improve w/ increase. Pizza a little greasy. Not real kid friendly - not a lot for them to see/do. Sandwiches were ok, but nothing to brag about. Not my favorite southside spot! Recommend others first.
