A wonderful and romantic restaurant! I was looking for a place to share a very special occasion, and luckily I found one in Barrique. The servers are attentive and knowledgeable, providing a high-class level of service. Every dish we ordered was spectacular, and kept me thinking about it for days afterwards. The standout dishes were the wild boar Ragu, the duck breast over caramlized onions, and the scallops. The desserts were amazing as well to finish off a very memorable meal.
Here’s an expanded version with more than 220 characters for Google Maps: An unforgettable dining experience—elegant, romantic, and full of charm. The chocolate pasta was a standout, both surprising and delicious. Fresh, handmade pasta across the board and an exceptional wine list rounded out a perfect evening.
Came here for a graduation dinner. Incredible experience. Service was top tier and the friendliness and professionalism from everyone here was amazing. Overall the experience was really great, and the food was even better. Delicious meals as you can see from the pictures. They were also very filling and portioned just right. This restaurant also has an incredible ambiance and is a great place to celebrate a special occasion or to impress a special date. Highly recommended!
We’d gone there last summer for my father’s birthday so when came time to choose a restaurant for my birthday celebration I still had the boar ragu pasta in mind. We went back and the food was still as exceptional as it was last year. Maybe a bit disappointed that the menu isn’t updated more frequently. They obviously know what they’re doing with their flavors…
Such a charming Italian spot tucked into a cozy yellow house that feels like a hidden gem in Venice. The famous beet pasta with quail ragu was absolutely phenomenal — rich, earthy, and totally unique. Every dish felt thoughtfully crafted, and the ambiance was intimate without being fussy. Service was warm, attentive, and added to the overall experience. A perfect spot for a romantic dinner or special night out.
I give this place a 10/10. Been here 4 times. Wish it was closer. The octopus appetizer, tuna tartare appetizer are my go to and excellent!!! The tagliatelle were outstanding. Service was excellent. Sat outside this time which was nice.
Barrique in Venice Beach is a culinary GAME CHANGER! I just had the most incredible Italian food experience at Barrique, and I'm still dreaming about that Homemade Pappardelle with Rabbit Ragu', Prunes, and Porcini Mushrooms... Serious foodie heaven! The pasta was perfectly cooked, the rabbit ragu' was rich and savory, and those prunes added a sweet and tangy twist. And let's talk about the porcini mushrooms. The service was top-notch, and the atmosphere was cozy and inviting. Can't wait to go back and try more of their dishes! If you're in Venice Beach, DO. NOT. MISS. Barrique. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you!
From the moment you walk in, you know you’re in for an experience. The restaurant is located in an old house, which gives it a unique atmosphere. Our server immediately intrigued us with the night's specials and gave us a great tour of the menu. We started with the scallops with fresh truffle, followed by two pastas for our mains. The filet mignon ravioli was great, but the beet pasta with quail ragu was fantastic (I honestly wonder how many birds go into one portion! lol). We finished with the panna cotta and chocolate cake, which were just okay. The wine selection was limited but unique—I highly recommend the Kerner.
Barrique is easily one of my absolute favorite Italian restaurants in Los Angeles. The ambiance alone deserves praise. It’s cozy, understated, and quietly refined. It’s the kind of place that reminds me of intimate restaurants I’ve loved in Maine and Switzerland. Nothing flashy, nothing forced, just warm, confident elegance. And for the romantics out there… this is exactly where you go to remember why you fell in love with your partner in the first place. A few personal favorites: The pan-seared scallops are extraordinary. Served over fondue and finished with delicate shavings of black truffle, the dish feels almost sinful. Rich, balanced, and unforgettable. If you’re fortunate enough to catch it during one of their menu rotations, the beef carpaccio is an absolute must. It’s easily the most unique preparation I’ve encountered in all my restaurant-hopping years. If you appreciate fondue, this dish will absolutely ruin lesser versions for you forever. And then there is my ritual order. The dish I cannot bring myself to skip: Tagliolini Rossi con Ragu di Quaglia in Fonduta di Taleggio — their famous beet pasta with quail ragu. I rarely encounter a plate so compelling that it prevents me from exploring other options, yet here we are. I’ve even made it a habit of bringing friends along purely so I can sample additional dishes while remaining loyal to my obsession. That’s all I’ll say for now. If this doesn’t spark your curiosity, I truly don’t mind. More reservations for me.
A diamond in the rough of Venice Beach. From the street you will not see the beauty that this restaurant is inside. Quiet and intimate. Seating upstairs both inside and outside. The food overall was excellent. We had the Octopus for starters. My wife had the pasta special and I had the filet Mignon. The only reason why I did not give the Food a five star is because I ordered my filet mignon, medium rare and it came out medium. I didn’t bother to return it. Because it was still so very good. As far as the food was concerned, everything else was excellent!
