Baris must be falling on hard times… We ordered Fetucinni with chicken, shrimp, and mushrooms. This dish can easily serve 3 people. We only got 4 shrimp. We were so disappointed that we called and spoke to a manager… Who said, basically, “Sorry, Charlie, that’s...all the shrimp you get.” The manager added, if you ordered shrimp only, then you get 6 shrimp. Hardly enough. In addition, the chicken breast, cut up, was tough. Mana Baris would have handled this differently. The white wine sauce, however, was excellent. Even 6 shrimp is insufficient. Who’s counting? Why so stingy. Disappointed after paying $21 for one entre.More

Ate dinner here last night with a work colleague. Friendly, efficient service from Bailee (see photo) who was very engaging, knew the menu, and checked on us regularly. It was a great meal, but Bailee made it better! Everything was delicious, had fresh ingredients, was...a very generous portion, and was authentic Italian, not the watered down Americanized sauces that you get at most Waco restaurants. Really enjoyed the bear a salad, the house dressing is fantastic! Calamari, Ziti, fettuccine Alfredo, shrimp cacciatore all delicious! Nicely done.More

Very good food and plenty of it. They have a good selection and the bread was hot and fresh. We found the prices to be very reasonable. It was obviously a local favorite.

We take advantage of Baris’ curbside since the pandemic started. All and I mean ALL of their entrees are very good including Baris’ pizzas. Our personal faves are their lasagna and eggplant dishes. Their spaghetti dishes are also good especially dressed up with either meatballs...or Italian sausage. One quibble: Baris does not offer angel hair or cappalina pasta. Prices are very reasonable. Beware: Baris is BYOB.More

The food here is amazing!! We had a slice of the speciality pizza and all I can say is wow on the crust and I loved that they didn’t overwhelm it with sauce and cheese but lots of toppings. Also a must have are the...rolls which is like a mini loaf of bread which if you order the Dees special you can use the bread to get all that delicious sauce. We also got a small Baris salad and their house dressing was also amazing! This is a place you won’t want to miss!More

I really enjoyed this fabulous little gem. It looks to be in an old Pizza Hut. I’m so glad I had dinner here. The house dressing is flipping awesome and those homemade rolls. My word they were delicious as was the spaghetti with tomato sauce....I highly recommend this place. Truly good Italian food.More

If you’re looking for a little hole In the wall gem that serves casual Italian style food this is a great option. It’s inside an old Pizza Hut location with plenty of seating and the kind of place you’ll find the baseball team after a...game or families enjoying one of their many large servings. Our sever was fantastic and quite honestly one of the best servers I’ve had anywhere in a long time. Not only did she make suggestions, but was friendly, attentive, and we never had to ask for anything. She suggested the fried Mac and cheese as a shareable appetizer which was just ok in my opinion. We ordered a wide variety of meals and the calzone and eggplant rollatini were the winners here. This is a great casual spot and one we would visit again.More

This visit coincided with family orientation at Baylor University. We made a point to search out local places to eat rather than chain dining establishments. We were so glad we did! The vibe was friendly, local and family friendly. Nothing fancy but definitely clean and...welcoming. The food was outstanding! We had pasta, pizza, and salads and all were fresh, hot and delicious. The portions were huge so plenty to share or take home. The prices were reasonable and our server was delightful. We will be back!!!More
