"Placed a carry out order from Dirt Burger that included 2 hamburgers for non vegan eaters. We ordered the Original Dirt Burger, the Chicago Burger and the Austin BBQ. All 3 burgers were great and very tasty! The burgers held together very well. We also ordered an order of the Dirt Balls and the Sweet Potato Dirt Balls along with an order of the Chili Cheese Fries. The Dirt Balls filled our car with a delightful smell and were very good. The Sweet Potato Dirt Balls were good but to be candid, there wasn't much difference in taste between them . The Chili Cheese Fries were huge and were delicious! My daughter thought that they were the best item that we received! Lots of chili, fries were crisp and there were jalapenos on top to make it nice and spicy. Overall, were very good and will definitely make it back here again on the next trip to Des Moines!"

"I've been to Baratta's before. But, today was something a little different. I had a client in from Omaha. I wanted her to experience some local dining with some old school charm. The setting was very nice. One of the owners (Joe) met us at the door and sat us right away at our table. The waitress was around to get our drink order very quickly and happily covered the specialties when I asked. The special of the day was a cheese ravioli in a lemon sauce. This sounded new and interesting to me so that's what I ordered. The atmosphere was great. We were able to discuss a few work items and then moved on to other conversation. There were 4 of us total. Before long our lunch had arrived. Not only was it very visually appealing but I'm being honest in saying that I don't believe I've every had a better pasta dish in my 50 years on the planet. I've had other favorites at Baratta's in the past but have never heard of or tried this dish before. I've got a new favorite and I would recommend anything on the menu but if you see a cheese ravioli in lemon sauce you must try it. Overall, the food was outstanding, the service was excellent, the price was very affordable and we were able to dine at our own pace. With such a short drive from downtown Des Moines it will be a business lunch staple from here on out."

"my important other and I went here for our jubilee dinner and everything was amazing! our server recommended only the side of bruise instead of a complete order, and they were by far enough! a lot to go around for two of us and even enough to go home. I can't even describe how amazing the steak centro was, much taste, I replaced the broccolini for green drilling, but as good as both. my more important other had the pasta and he could not stop mentioning how good the taste was and how it had tasted to make it pleasant, located in the opposite to some other ones that they can go. our server was iralee and she did great, much good help with menu and very personal. thanks centro!"

"We enjoyed the guacamole and salsa. The medium guacamole and it was fairly spicy. Each person ordered a different kind of enchiladas and tacos and then we traded around so that everyone could try several kinds. We were severed quickly which would be good for people who have an evening engagement. Our only complaint was that it was quick noisy which made it difficult to hear each other at our table."

"I feel I could have lived an entire life before my canned beer got to my table. Almost 15 minutes to receive a canned beer on a slow day. It's no wonder why this location is about to shut down. The issue was mainly due to service, but the food was nothing to write home about. Presentation and plating were kind to the eye but lacked real flavor. I had a party of 4, and two did not show until 25 min after myself and my lady. I ordered chips and salsa and a beer. It took the other 2 people showing up and getting their drinks first before we got the chips and my drink. Let's hope that if they open another location. They do not hire the same staff."
