Cafe Bari

New York, New York, United States

Cafe Bari

Cafe Bari is a restaurant located at the corner of Spring & Broadway. Their claim to fame is that they place examples of their food on a table on the sidewalk (to try and attract visitors). After seeing those samples for awhile, we decided it was time to check them out. Overall, we were quite disappointed in our experience here. The food was overpriced, and of poor quality. There are many other options available that offer better value.

Dress

Fairly casual

Cost

The cheapest entree, eggs and a salad, is $14.95. Other entrees range from there to $23, with "upsell possibilities" (such as Chicken or cheese) for a few more dollars. A hamburger costs $18.25.

Service

There was nothing worth noting about the service.

Reservations

I don't know if they're accepted. We visited just after 6pm on a Saturday, and there was plenty of room available.

Items Ordered

Stuffed Eggplant

Stuffed Eggplant

The stuffed eggplant was probably the best item we received here. It consisted of a piece of eggplant that was breaded and fried, served with tomatoes and melted mozzarella cheese. It was quite good.

Steak sandwich or wrap

Steak sandwich or wrap

We asked for this sandwich with the chili mayonnaise on the side, but that didn't happen - we couldn't tell if the mayonnaise was on the sandwich, or if it was just omitted. The sandwich itself was quite plain. It consisted of pieces of beef with a few avocado slices and pieces of fried onion. The sandwich was ok, but it was definitely one of the more disappointing sandwiches I've had.

Linguini Nepolitana

Linguini Nepolitana

The pasta was very plain. We ordered it with the grilled chicken for an additional $4.50, which was probably a good move - the pasta was tasteless otherwise. It was just linguini in a bowl with a couple of tomatoes. It was definitely a disappointing selection.
