★★★★★"DELICIOUS, the staff is fantastic, and the pricing is great! I've been a customer for 10 years — some of my favorite memories happened in their red chairs eating Tortellini Pink."
— T. Boss
★★★★★"I went in certain it'd be expensive. I'VE NEVER BEEN MORE WRONG. The complimentary bread is chef's kiss and the staff is very kind."
— J. Tully
★★★★★"The aroma alone told me they were from NY — I was right. Some of the best Italian food I've ever had, and I'm from the NY/NJ/CT area. Don't forget the cannolis."
— P. King
★★★★★"Amazing food, super friendly staff! The rolls could be a meal themselves. Our go-to Italian place for a great family dinner."
— P. Loring

"It started as Mama Baris' dream."

Since 1996, Baris has been family-owned and family-run on N Valley Mills Dr — built on traditional Italian recipes, fresh ingredients, and the kind of hospitality that turns first-time guests into ten-year regulars.

Today the family carries her legacy forward the same way it started: handmade pasta, hand-tossed pizza, and a table that always has room for one more.
