"The appetizers, specifically the crostini, weren't particularly impressive. However, the pasta dishes were enjoyable, though do keep in mind that they adhere quite strictly to the "al dente" standard, perhaps a bit too much for my preference. The service was very warm and welcoming, but the pacing could use some improvement; everything seemed to take longer than expected.
The desserts were definitely the highlight of the meal—though I have to say, the lava cake turned out to be just a regular chocolate cake without the molten center. Still, Bartolo is a solid choice for a cozy neighborhood restaurant, perfect for a casual weekday dinner."
