Barocco - Lyon

We came across Barocco at lunch time. We beat the crowd. It is not a tourist restaurant. It is in a good neighborhood in Lyon, near City Hall. The staff were all very, very nice. The service was excellent. My wife and I had different sorts of pizza. Both excellent. The wine list was fine. If fortunate to be in the area, we would certainly return.

The two pizza were ordered were half raw. The dough was impossible to eat. We asked the staff to cook them some more. They took them away and brought them back less than 5 minutes after, still far from cooked. The restaurant is cramped with tables put in such a way as to maximize the amount of money they can make. They make themselves famous for having big portions and because they are well located.

I ate here last week at noon and there was nothing memorable about the meal except for that the service was really quick. I ordered the gratin de penne au gorgonzola and it was not great, not evenly browned and the gorgonzola flavor was too watered down by cream. I did have a great half bottle of white wine, but decided to skip on dessert. Will not be returning despite very attentive waiters.

Everything was great! The welcome, the kitchen, the value for money and the welcome (thank you very much to Océane who took care of us). A warm setting to spend good moments with family or friends around good dishes!

Simply exceptional dishes, a very pleasant welcome. Everything to please
