Overview

This I have to say was a real find when I first visited and did so again last week with the specific task of reviewing in mind. It can be a real positive when somewhere you visit doesn’t change. You know what you are going to get and have the satisfaction that it transfers into quality, service and provision of home made and cooked to order Italian cuisine. The menu is varied and wide ranging but not extensive, there is fine attention to detail. I go to the Barolo to be fed not fattened and it’s a positive experience moderately priced. The calamari for a starter was the squid, the whole squid and nothing but the squid rather than squid rings from a frozen bag, was given a choice of preparation for my steak choice and it was spot on, the accompanying seasonal veg and sides were aldante and just the way I like it the tiramisu was home made. The Barolo was totally wheelchair accessible being on one level, and there were 2 others there at the same time. Located in Mitchell Street, it is across from a large multi storey car park, there is also street parking even although it is within a partly pedestrianise area. The attentiveness and service fof the staff was first class and they were very aware of those needing additional assistance. The toilets were spotlessly clean and well serviced and fully disabled accessible. The Barolo has a website that is informative and with other contacts- email, twitter etc.
