The food was not hot when it came out and it took forever. I've not had a good dining experience at Baratta's the last few times I've been there and I won't be going back anytime soon. I talked about my experience with some friends and they, too had similar experiences. It is too bad - it used to be much better but now it is like a punishment to eat there.

Average to mediocre Italian food that can be topped by any number of restaurants in Des Moines and elsewhere. Noah's Ark is much, much better Italian food. Will not eat at Baratta's again. Great service, ordinary food.
great food. Gets busy but get served quickley. Never had bad food. There Italian Sausage is the best in town. Must not get it from same place everyone else uses.
The best salad dressing in Des Moines. Beyond that the cavatelli is good, the Jamaican jerk sandwich is really good and it's some of the best pizza you'll find anywhere. It's worth a visit.
Baratta's has amazing food, great service and the people that work there are so nice and really cater to your needs. I recommend this place to anyone that likes Italian food!

Barrattas is a cool place. The food is great...but the dining areas could look a lot better. The prices are pretty good too.

A little overrated. They recently raised prices quite a bit and their food didn't improve w/ increase. Pizza a little greasy. Not real kid friendly - not a lot for them to see/do. Sandwiches were ok, but nothing to brag about. Not my favorite southside spot! Recommend others first.
